help Rez FAQ
Who created Rez?
Rez was produced by Tetsuya Mizuguchi and developed by United Game Artists. It first appeared on Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 in 2001.
What makes Rez different from a normal rail shooter?
Rez ties lock-on shooting to music, vibration, and evolving visuals. Enemy shots become rhythmic sounds, so the game feels closer to an interactive electronic music track than a conventional shooter.
What is Rez Infinite?
Rez Infinite is an expanded version of Rez that added Area X, a new free-flying stage. It also supports VR on several platforms, including PlayStation VR and PC VR.
Was Rez connected to the Trance Vibrator accessory?
Yes. The Japanese PlayStation 2 version was associated with the Trance Vibrator, a separate vibration accessory. That unusual peripheral became part of Rez's reputation as an experiment in synesthesia and physical feedback.
