The hype has clearly faded from like 2016 when the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift were hot new tech. There are still games with great production value around and they’ll give you emotional and visceral experiences you’ll never feel in flat games.
Is it worth getting into currently?
For PC-based VR, you can get a used Vive for a few hundred dollars, and you’ll need a PC with modest gaming power. I’ve run Half-Life Alyx acceptably fine on an RX 580, a medium graphics card from 2017, which is often listed as the minimum required.
In VR games, everything feels more intense. Scary parts, sad parts, action-packed parts. Characters making direct eye contact with you feels really gripping. Being able to see and hear the game world all around you is a level of immersion you’ve probably not felt before.
Whether the entry price is worth accessing this niche of highly immersive games is up to you.
Wait for Deckard / Steam Frame to modernize PCVR again…once PCVR is truly wireless, we could have a resurgence similar to when the original Quest and Quest 2 launched
In terms of gaming or development? Gaming is fun. I am loving VR! Got the Quest 3 recently too. In development … not really sure to be honest, it’s my first time. A bit more tricky then creating normal games that’s for sure haha. Will try to keep updates on how it goes! :)
This looks really cool. But I wouldn’t show so much of the monster in the trailer. The first time was especially bad, the second time the best way, if you want to show it at all.
Holy crap this is amazing based on the demo. Agree the gameplay is a bit basic but I don’t really care with this style and interesting characters and their dialogue.
I cannot wait for this game. It doesn't seem to have a lot of hype but it's a return to form for the OG TellTale devs. The demo's writing was sharp and fun. I hope it does well because there has been a drought of interactive story games since they went out of business.
Possibly the announcement from recent Direct that I’m most excited about, maybe it’s becasue of the proximity of release. I’ve been holding myself from playing early access for so long now… Hades 1 was such a comfort game to play on switch.
While some rougelites you can enjoy portably on ns/ns2 technically have more content, or rather are more varied in terms of gameplay (example Dead Cells with sheer number of possible weapon/build combinations), the progression itself being so tangled with story makes the expirience second to none.
Did you mistype, employ sarcasm, or were you not aware that the genre is named after Metroid, not the other way around? Metroidvania— games employing similar experiences to Metroid and some of the more notable Castlevania games.
