Confused? 

You won’t be when you get your hands on “Giant Cop: Justice Above All”, a new game by Other Ocean Interactive based in St. John’s. 

The game will be released Tuesday on HTC Vive and will be available on the Steam store and Humble Bundle for US$24.99.

Other Ocean is excited to extend Giant Cop to the Vive community” said Deirdre Ayre, Other Ocean’s Head of Operations in a news release. “We had a great initial release on Oculus, but also receive feedback that has helped with general adjustments while optimizing the game for Vive. We’re currently optimizing for PSVR as well and plan to release later in the summer.”

Ryan Hale, Studio Head for Other Ocean, said a key feature in Giant Cop is the open world in which you can explore. 

“Players can expect a three-to-four hour gameplay experience uncovering the crime syndicate that threatens Micro City,” he said. “Our team deliberately built Micro City with sandbox gameplay in mind, if you want to just explore the world and find hidden interactive objects you can do that, too. It’s limitless really.”  

Other Ocean is partnered with multiplatform entertainment company Skybound Entertainment, founded by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and business partner David Alpert. The partnership has allowed The Walking Dead characters and Easter Eggs to be integrated into “Giant Cop: Justice Above All” exclusively to Skybound Insiders. Skybound Insiders is a free membership program which will also grant Giant Cop game owners updates, special offers and future merchandise features. 

Giant Cop was developed at Other Ocean’s St. John’s studio with support from the Canada Media Fund.
