So, I just tried the above. It's pretty good. Give it a shot even if the concept doesn't sound too appealing or if at first glance you think to compare it to that one Rec Room mini game you already played. People called this a virtual sport and I was thinking esport and went meh, something like Echo VR/Combat or even Space Junkies is more my speed with the freeing zero gravity locomotion and gameplay systems akin to non VR games but perfectly adapted to VR. But playing this is a whole different beast, it does feel like a viable sci fi (sadly I don't think the fancier mechanics can be adapted to real life easily, ha) sport, the mechanics are simple but well thought out, it's quite polished and is of course quite active, I can see high level play getting intense. I doubt I'll get good at it but yeah, solid game. I wonder if Index users would trash the competition before the rest companies catch up to the higher hz and framerates allowed.

35 Minutes of 'Until You Fall' Groundbreaking VR Melee Combat Gameplay
In announcing Until You Fall, Schell Games was boastful about its ability to deliver an “intense, real-time combat experience that hasn’t been seen before with VR.” After spending a few hours with the pre-alpha version of the game, it’s clear that the studio wasn’t bluffing. Until You Fall’s VR...

ThatTea for God thing is pretty cool, I didn't realize it was a room scale only game, I thought it would have regular locomotion, but instead you physically walk everywhere as each area twists and turns right into the next one so that walking in your play area feels like going through a much larger space. Like so:
My play area is super tiny, I call it standing VR rather than room scale but it worked still. Rooms were super cramped obviously, I was constantly almost pivoting in place to turn into the next area over and over and over, but it was still pretty cool that the game adjusted down to that size fully. So yeah it's basically like Unseen Diplomacy which is still rare to see done in VR despite that dating all the way back to 2016 and I haven't actually played it or any other myself.

I still have problems with finger detection on my index. My pinky and ring finger are laying on top of each other when I hold the controller. I think it's partly the convex form of the grip. Luckily no game I play require all, or if any, finger seperation right now
Tetris Effect confirmed for PC/PCVR and it's launching this week, while the EGS exclusivity is sad I think it's amazing that this games already came to PC, 256 days of PS4 exclusivity were more than enough hehe
ICYMI, yes, it's 12 moth timed exclusive while there's no word of other services, it will probably come to both Steam and Oculus Store in July 2020.

Vertigo 2 demo is out now. Don't have time to try it now sadly, later tonight maybe.
Daamn! I thought this was going to be PSVR exclusive for some reason.
Hyped as heck now.
Raw Data and Star Trek Bridge Crew (both steam keys) are free right now on GMG if you buy at least a "silver" game during their summer sale.
Played it yesterday. It seems pretty decent, though also a bit weird. It's like a Half-Life style action adventure but as a parody rather than a serious story. The guns can feel weird and the finger tracking was finicky on Oculus Touch, the gestures didn't considently work as they should, though it didn't affect gameplay. Most of the early enemies didn't put up much of a fight and were boring but some weapon wielding robots proved enough of a threat so it gets better.
Yeah, it was really buggy for me on the index too. I even fell through the floor a few times (in the under water part) and one gun didn't work. The game itself I'm digging, I like the comedy approach. The game needs time, that's for sure, but when it works I'm really liking it.
Upcoming game from the devs of Primordian. I don't much like that one and honestly the bits I can infer from the teaser aren't too promising but we'll see.

It's tracks like that that make me not want to buy a music game, lol! Like Thumper or top levels of AudioShield i just look and go nah, i'll stick with the scrub tiers thanks.
Quick question, i take it that the Fanatical Bethesda VR Bundle is a really good deal? I loved vanilla Skyrim, haven't played Doom 2016 and have kind of skirted Fallout 4 but want to play it. Is it recommended or are there any gotchas?

Doom VFR is not Doom 16 in VR, it's another Doom game unless I misremember.
Skyrim VR is good, but some don't like it as it requires simple button presses to open stuff, not actually using your hands to open stuff.
F4 VR is good and all, but some people experiences some optimization issues.
well, it has Doom 16 assets and part of the levels but other than that it's a new game yeah. not a must buy imo.
Cheers, i'll hold off buying them for a while and i've enough VR stuff to be getting on with for now so i can wait.

I conceptually get the importance of this, and its very cool. On a practical front, my understanding is that official Dolphin VR support was waiting on OpenXR’s release and that has me incredibly excited.Khronos' OpenXR 1.0 Specification Establishes Unifying XR Ecosystem - GMW3

This could be decent (but it's pvp only so not quite my thing).

Until You Fall looks really cool.
Also, this month is apparently the month when Espire 1 should release.

That doesn’t feel like its any kind of object improvement or anything, but with the right application that seems like it’d be an absolute blast to play around in regardless.
I guess it's basically same old standing/room scale VR with the effortless bouncing around he does in the gameplay parts rather than a new actual locomotion method so I don't see the comparison to the treadmills which let you travel long ingame distances with immersing physical movement while remaining in place. But yeah it could be fun in games with a lot of 360 on the spot movement like the archery game he uses as a demo. Plus like I said maybe it can help people with muscle atrophies and things like that play normal standing/room scale VR applications without exerting too much effort to be worth it.

I really wonder when Borderlands 2 VR will release for PC. According to the Borderlands 2 PSVR package box, it was 6 months exclusive, it's been quite over 6 months and the ESRB rating that released was weeks ago.
I keep holding off buying it for my PSVR just in case Borderlands 2 PCVR get's suddenly official announced.
Im also wondering if Ghost Giant is a full PSVR exclusive or not. It released in the middle of april this year and not a single sale on PS Store so far.
