Multiplayer Madness: ‘Mini Motor Racing X’ Introduces Party Pack Update

Whether you want to sit behind the wheel for some intense driving action or take in the spectacle from above, the tiny cars of Mini Motor Racing X pack a sizable fun-filled punch on the Oculus Quest Platform. And today, four all-new party games take the multiplayer mayhem to a new level.

www.oculus.com

I think these videos aren't actually new, the game got renamed from Cosmophobia (so people don't confuse it with Phasmophobia apparently, even though this was known first and any such confusion would probably help it anyway) and they were redone with the new name & logo. But it still looks sweet + release date.

[ExistentialThought]

I hope Yuru Camp is reasonably priced as I love how comfy the show is and it would be fun to experience in VR. They say each title is about the length of an episode, so 20ish minutes give or take, which is extremely short. There may be some dialogue paths or choices, which would help a tiny bit, but I am not so sure.

I just worry it will feel like a barebones experience rather than fleshed-out experience. Still, if the price is right I would still give it a go.

Edit: The price is 20.85USD

Doom 3 VR, Fracked and Song in the Smoke not coming to Steam?

 

[Alextended]

Doom 3 VR, Fracked and Song in the Smoke not coming to Steam?

D3VR and Fracked are only announced for PSVR atm. Song in the Smoke's trailer blurb says Oculus Quest & Rift too, IEYTD2/Zenith/After the Fall were known for Steam already. So, we'll see. Sony often funds (timed?) exclusives but since at least Song in the Smoke heads to Rift as well it's a likely candidate for Steam.

You can play Doom 3 BFG in VR with a mod ( or on Quest with vanilla Doom 3), it wasn't the best for me, not like Quake VR style gems, but others like it

Weird this PSVR announcement spree didn't have anything new from Sniper Elite VR (also known for other platforms), what's Rebellion doing with it already?

Update: nDreams said Fracked is a PSVR exclusive, no clarification on time, and Archiact doesn't know anything other than PSVR, says id would decide ports.
