The highlight of the event was the 1:1 game showdowns with the celebrated streamers. Tension mounted as they first squared off in The First Berserker: Khazan on the Odyssey 3D (G90XF).

It feels like the depth of perception you would have in the real world! Even simple things like the physics of when I’m walking — the character definitely feels more alive.
