Are you ready to dominate the court and throwdown like legendary street ballers Bobbito Garcia AKA Kool Bob Love or WNBA All-Star Renee Montgomery? Blacktop Hoops from Vinci Games is an upcoming VR street basketball game that lets you compete against other players in fast-paced multiplayer matchups that will leave you sweating and whooping out loud.
This arcade-style sports game lets you to perform a variety of impressive techniques you’d expect to see on your local streetball court. You can shoot three-pointers, outperform your competition with some fancy footwork, and, of course, lay down backboard-shaking slam dunks.
Blacktop Hoops was heavily inspired by the 90’s streetball scene. Everything from the environments to the basketball courts to the avatars themselves was designed to replicate the golden age of classic streetball. Vinci Games also made sure to include a killer soundtrack made up of some of the most prominent rappers from that era, including the music of Bobbito Garcia.
