More footage from the awesome looking arena shooter Grapple Tournament.

This should unlock any moment now. It has improved so much visually but we'll see if all the later levels make it a compelling puzzle game.

This NSFW game looks surprisingly well made. It's not your average sexy anime girl game, that's for sure. Also, Node did Phasmophobia, but not in VR.

Hopefully, like the Vader Immortal series before it, this gets ported everywhere too after launch:

Still looks like a very scripted adventure however, just perhaps more competent & varied. We'll see.

Legit or scam or nothing? Questionable choice of games to name drop but still. The rest look good..?
Impossible for just ~450 (face/eye tracking, good res, finger/pressure tracking) + the ~50 wireless kit.


Oh, and an extra sensor to dictate your orientation decoupled from the HMD/controller! Too much!

No idea what that means for users. Obviously you still need a Facebook account to buy/play Oculus games and they will be tied to it so nothing new in regards to that (save for potential back ups I suppose?). I guess being able to use the kit for sidequest and such sideloading apps without ever needing an account? Would it also be able to be supported by SteamVR natively, will someone make their own drivers and OpenXR support for it, will Valve themselves do it once the system is wide open so people can use it for PC VR without even installing the Oculus app at all, will later firmware updates lock this? We'll see.

Tried AGOS. I dunno what to think. Is it an indie-like love letter to space/hard sci-fi or a really weird and shallow B team effort? The idea is to gather resources with your drone to progress through the missions and enable your mobile space station to travel around the solar system to different points of interest for more drone missions and eventually get the fuck out of there with interstellar travel to find a new home for the remaining 5000 strong human population that's presumably in stasis as it takes years to go from place to place on the map but the population remains intact so far. So there are the mission areas where you control the drone, one of many you can eventually acquire/build or something and the map screen where you move the whole station around. You can rotate the camera and zoom in toward and out away from the drone you control. It has semi realistic newtonian space flight but a very simple interface that automates a lot of it so you don't need to do calculations to go from a to b or anything, it controls very simply and effortlessly to the point I don't know where the gameplay will come from, the missions so far are rigid and just going in the proximity of resources acquired them like Super Mario coins, the control is simple as said so, is it gonna time limit you, is it gonna send you to tighter spaces so you need to manage your drone more thoroughly, or what exactly, will the map open up and give you more opportunity to basically do something on your own and decide things strategically? There's mining and stuff in the trailers so perhaps those pose some kind of challenge but so far it's nothing like say, Hardspace: Shipbreaker or learning to use real space station stuff as in Mission: ISS. I doubt I'll keep at it.

Just bought Zooma VR. Bargin at £1.62.


Might pick up Star Wars Squadrons - Anyone dabbled in the VR mode? Any good?

Was crazy awesome in VR but some things like the way they do input remapping annoyed me to no end and I didn't wanna settle for gamepad controls so I was waiting for patches but I'll probably go & play as is because it doesn't look like they do much more than fix the most egregious technical issues some encounter.

Jurassic Tour VR - WebVR fan made Jurassic Park!

I was going to try White Day VR to see if it's worthwhile (given the super low price and stuff but who knows) but it just gets a fatal error, I hope they'll fix it.

A random SWAT-like popped up in today's releases. It looks janky as fuck but maybe it'll develop into something decent. The AI states and voice commands look good, it's the basics other games get right like the shooting and overall feel that looks way off. Fingers crossed, maybe. At least someone is trying...

Woot, Grapple Tournament is out, it looks like such an awesome and polished and true arena shooter!

Ubisoft released 10 "tips and tricks" videos for AGOS, I guess in hopes people don't play cos it's hard...
Watching the 10th video it seems like the game gets considerably more complex than the first levels.

This "linear missions" co-op mode they're gonna be adding to Contractors sounds promising for me!

For all you VRChat peeps on MC. You can now hold the Most Presidential of Press Conferences yourself. I'm not sure if the neighboring Dildo Shop or the Crematorium will be added in a later update.

They posted this via reddit a couple days ago but removed it for some reason, here it is on the tube.

So this came out for Quest. Hopefully it's good and if so it gets ported to PC too like Vader Immortal.

I recently booted up Half-Life: Alyx again to see what it's like on a RTX 3080. What a difference in terms of clarity! And consistent performance for 120Hz mode! It looks like SteamVR is using a 150% render target across the board. Has anyone tried to optimize it with this card yet?
