I Can’t Wait To Punch Gary Coleman in the Mouth in ‘Postal 2 VR’ 

Well, it’s finally happening: ‘Postal 2 VR’ was announced today, and my list of plans will fundamentally change when it’s released.

Yes, before anything else, you read that correctly. Postal 2, one of the most ridiculous and wild FPS games of all time, is finally making the plunge into the world of Virtual Reality. At the time of its release, Postal 2 was all the rage, especially for those ready to clutch their pearls and claim heresy. Now, we’ll get to clutch our pearls while we’re playing as the Postal Dude, causing as much chaos as humanly possible. But I already know the first thing I’m going to do is punch Gary Coleman in the mouth. Well, that, and probably set things on fire and just do whatever I want to.

22 Years After Its Initial Release, ‘Postal 2 VR’ Finally Lands Where It Belongs

The idea of having unparalleled freedom to do whatever you want is what Postal 2 and Postal 2 VR are all about. And bringing that untamed carnage to VR sounds like a dream come true, especially for folks who grew up with the franchise. While I’m sure that its potty humor hasn’t aged like the finest of wine, I’ll be glad to take the piss (on someone) in VR when this finally releases.

Flat2VR Studios has brought plenty of games to life in this new dimension. But, none have been quite as “controversial” as Postal 2. So, seeing this was a bit of a shock to the system. It’s one of those games that sparked a moral outrage back when it was released. Grab a cat and shove it on your gun for a silencer. Pee on everything. Dismember everyone. It’s going to be a wild ride having this back in VR, and I’m so glad that it exists.

While no Postal 2 VR release date, or even release window, was announced? We know that we’ll be able to dive into this one on Meta Quest, PC VR, and PS VR 2. VR is a great way to get a sense of scale. So, I can’t wait to throw Gary Coleman like a football. Dude was a menace in this game, so I’m really hoping this is the pure experience, just available in VR.
