Perturbator

Very true, it's also about the amazing drugs the winners took before they got up on stage. Next level stuff.

Extraction complete. I bet it involved a Mara-ton of money.

Seems like its time to skeikh things up.

Now watch as someone makes an online mod for this.

This week I've been playing Lunacid, a first person dungeon crawler. Apparently it's very similar to From Softwares early King's Field series, but I can't say since I haven't played those. Instead it reminds me more of From's Souls series.

The game just oozes dark fantasy atmosphere and has a great soundtrack. I was planning on playing it normally but discovered by chance that it has a VR mod with full motion controls. And this just made a great game 10 times better!

@Jrs1 I've heard tales of how loud MBV is live. A friend that has seen them multiple times since the 90s claims people might just leave their concerts deaf if not wearing ear plugs.

@Fluberuper Now that's real horror...

@Fluberuper I guess old men in tiny speedos would be far scarier?

This looks pretty pool.

Hirogami just makes me think of Tearaway.

@4fold One genre I'd love to see in VR is JRPGs, but I fear they are too expensive to make compared to how many people would buy them.

The Chinese Room just sounds like the wrong dev for this type of game.

Looking at their past games, this was like trying to get a Punk band to make a Prog Jazz album.

That's good news, I really enjoyed the first DS. I don't know much about DS2 since I've purposely avoided reading about it so I can experience it fresh.

@Hyper_Hippy_Gaming You can see the trailer for the VR mod for Ready or Not here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rsle5hjhOQ

That mod was bankrolled by one Youtuber and made by one modder. Of course there is hard work involved, but it would be no issue at all for Sony to make such a thing happen.

And yes, I do like 3rd person VR too. I mostly use UEVR for that if the game is made in Unreal Engine.

Sounds awful.

I'll probably watch it.

I can understand why Sony doesn't produce big first party VR titles, as the player base just isn't big enough to warrant such investments. But I can't forgive the fact they can't be bothered to even port some their great flatscreen games into VR, when such ports cost a fraction of developing new games and would also be a great way of exploring said games from a new perspective.

@gaston Did you ever play Half-Life Alyx? From what footage I've seen of Lies and Rain it pretty much borrows the puzzles and interactivity of that game wholesale. Which is...not a bad idea actually.

It's been a good gaming week...

Demeo

Tabletop RPG, but in VR. Love moving those little miniatures around and rolling the dice like physical objects, but in virtual reality of course. The game is pretty difficult, but I'm starting to pick up some strategies along the way.

Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom

A chaotic platformer, except you're driving a little wind-up taxi instead of jumping around the place. I very much recommend this, so let's hope they bring it to console eventually.

@Oram77 Lore Actually. The next great xmas blockbuster.

@AdamNovice There's a reason they don't have that sort of user-created levels where you can choose the name and look of targets: It would 90% be kill this or that politician.

The size of the Steam Machine compared to PS5 is actually like this:

Not bad, honestly. They could have done a lot worse.

The rest of the crew (writers, producers etc) is more worrying though.

@AhmadSumadi Nice! I have Banishers in my backlog, from a Humble Bundle I think. Game looks pretty interesting, even if it apparently didn't sell much (Sadly the story of many games these days).

@PuppetMaster I took a while (and some tutorials) to get into Resonance of Fate's combat system, but once it clicked it was a lot of fun.

I've dealt drugs in Schedule 1, and then felt like I used all said drugs myself by playing Mouthwashing.

No not a threat whatsoever, but it might be the gateway drug to PC gaming for a handful of curious console gamers.

Too late.

As the saying goes; Hell hath no fury like a Playstation gamer deplatformed.

It honestly looks pretty mediocre, imo.

Although I like them, there are so many of these serious racing sims. I could use something in the middle of full sim and full arcade, like Driveclub.

No Guts No Glory

So this what remains of Jim Ryans live service legacy?

@VicerExciser I'm really looking forward to it as well. First game had its flaws but it also had an amazing atmosphere different than other souls- or roguelikes.

There just isn't enough time and space for live service games unless they do something new or really special. Players are already spending their time elsewhere, like in Fortnite or COD or any of the already massive live service games.

Hyperscape is a good example. I played it a bit when it came out, and it was alright, but after a few days me and my friends went back to playing Apex Legends again. It was just a superior game in most aspects, with a lot more content than Hyperscape could offer.

Well there are games who look even more like Hollow Knight: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1614330/Crowsworn/

I haven't played it since launch, but I plan on doing so again soonish with Fallout 4 VR + Mad God Overhaul (Classic) modlist. Should look something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeJtizoTE4Y&t=1353s

@hugoadan Awww man, good luck with the watchdog!

Playing the brilliant Ori and the Blind Forest.

First time for me since it was XBOX only back in my PS4 days.

What corporate secrets were shared and is there a link to the public forum in question? I can't access the Bloomberg article.

Edit: it was apparently work related info (not GTA leaks) in a union Discord.

This would be great for me, as I went to PC after PS4 but I stil have large digital libraries for PS4 and PS3.

@Northern_munkey Honestly I preferred Dirt Rally 1 to 2, even though I played 2 on a powerful PC with wheel/pedals. The first game had that fun hillclimb mode with the crazy cars, while 2 has nothing of the sort. The rallycross in 2 was also incredibly difficult, because the opponents kept pushing me off the road every time, while I didn't have too much trouble with that in the first game.

Flat2VR, keeping the VR dream alive. Roboquest VR is something I'm really looking forward to.

No idea haven't played any of them. But get back to me in 2029 and I might have an answer for you.

Nothing. Like any upstanding citizen I'm just here to upvote those whose gaming habits I deem worthwhile, while I sneer in contempt at the rest.

It's a weird tale this...
1. XBOX makes multiplayer cost money
2. Playstation makes multiplayer free
3. Playstation adds monthly games for a cost
4. XBOX adds "free" games to their paid multiplayer
5. Playstation removes free multiplayer but adds it to their monthly paid games.
6. XBOX adds a good value subscription model, but removes their free games from the paid multiplayer
7. Playstation adds an OK subscription model but otherwise keeps things the same
8. XBOX raises price of their previously good value sub model
9. XBOX makes multiplayer free again?
10. ???

I'm really hoping this will be good, after the disappointment of Reach (according to the reviews I've seen).

Sadly Days Gone doesn't work in UEVR, or else I would have bought it long time ago. Seems like the kind of game that would be awesome in first person VR.

Plant horror has been all the rage for a while now, like in the excellent Fool Night.

Haven't played it yet, but from what I heard it was a case of trying to appeal to everyone, but ending up not appealing to anyone?

@Oram77 It is quite brutal, both graphically and emotionally.

I've enjoyed the manga since scanlations began (and a big fan of Fire Punch before that) but I usually find anime adaptions a bit disappointing. Might give this a chance though.

Oh I think they will be able to do that, and soon. But if they will be worth playing is another question entirely.

Eventually I believe AI will build specific games for individual users based on their taste, instead of games meant for mass consumption.
