Konami brought a playable version of the recently announced Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner — Mars to Tokyo Game Show this week, showing off how surprisingly good the PlayStation 2 game looks after being remastered in 4K on PlayStation 4. The game was also playable on a PlayStation VR headset, and played like a good example of how the transition from a traditional 3D game to VR can often be rough.

Of course, Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner wasn’t originally developed with VR in mind, and the ability to play the full game from a new perspective is a welcome one. But given the fast-paced nature of the Zone of the Enders games and how lock-on targeting works, the experience of The Second Runner — Mars in VR can be a disorienting.
