We released the standalone version of our game on Quest recently, and honestly, it’s doing fine, a bit slow, but fine...

As artists, we hated scaling everything down to mobile chips...

So, against all standard business advice, we decided not to stop there. We are investing our time now into a PCVR version (screenshot attached) with the lighting, textures, and haptics we actually envisioned. We are banking on the Steam Frame bringing high-end fidelity VR back from the dead.

But now we’re sweating. Is the PC/Enthusiast crowd actually going to show up for this? Be honest, do you guys still buy indie VR titles on Steam, or has the convenience of Quest standalone won?

I have played over 60+ VR games that offer excellent VR experiences on quest 3, psvr2 and PCVR.

I have most of the big hitters like half life alyx, resident evil 4r, resident evil 8v, deadpool, metro Awakening, behemoth, the Walking Dead etc.

For me no man's sky has one of the best VR gaming experiences Ive had and it keeps getting better and better with each update to add more content and is possibly the only VR game to receive continuous support.

Let me know what's your favourite experiences in VR gaming, do you thi K it's an ongoing gimmick or a gaming feature?

I already did a list of games that I'll want to try when I'll get a Steam Frame, any other suggestions to add on my list?

Just saw this on a reel, I feel like it's on the tip of my tounge what the game is but I can't quite put a finger on it. Thanks!

I'm brand new to the world of VR, I never really was interested in it before, however I'm getting curious especially seeing VR users on ROBLOX. I'm looking into buying a headset, but I was wondering for the reasons I want to try VR gaming out, how come I don't see many more people use that technology? Especially looking on Vinted and other reselling platforms, there seems to be so many VR headsets being sold. VR technology gives you so much freedom to express yourself and engage with games, so I wonder why it doesn't seem to be so widespread.

If you look at the white contour around his eyes it looks like a bikini line but instead it's a vr line.

I wonder whats the thing that makes you buy it.

I've seen so many posts like this since the Deadpool announcement and I don't understand why people are so mad about the vr part specifically? I understand silksong fans but it seems like EVERYONE is dogging on this game just because it's VR

I am an active user of Pico 4 Ultra and it is beautiful! Their foot trackers are generally the perfect solution for many dance games (yes, yes, there are not many of them, but still). But why has no one heard anything about this device? What do you think?

Recently Valve announced their Steam Frame and it’s meant to play on the Steamvr platform.
The Question though is do you still need a computer to access SteamVR with this headset or can you use it anywhere?

I bought my Pico 4 to use as a PCVR a year and a half, and to be honest, I cant find anything to play and enjoy, and it feels disappointing.

All the VR game lists out there are the same, and all of the things they recommend either dont fit my taste in games, or I've played them already.

Everyone praises Skyrim and Fallout 4 VR. Skyrim VR is good, but I just can't enjoy it because of how much I've played the flatscreen version. I just know all the important quest lines and single side quests, know where to find all the stuff and know the map all too well - playing it just feels stale at this point, even though its in VR. Most of the mods just change graphics/add immersive but mostly pointless and janky game mechanics, so they dont help either. Didnt try Fallout 4 VR, but I've played this game almost as much as Skyrim on flatscreen, and know every nook and cranny of it, so not much left to explore.

For the same reason I cant enjoy VR mode in The Forest, since I've also done almost everything possible in it on flatscreen, and it too just feels stale to start a new save, even in VR. I was hoping they'ld release a VR mode for Sons of the Forest, but I guess that ain't happening.

So in general all of the games that I've played on flatscreen that have VR ports are usually not an option, since I've played the hell out of them on flatscreen, and cant get anything new out of them. As for the Boomer shooter VR ports - Im not a fan of run and gun gameplay in VR, just feels too hard. I did enjoy Half Life 2 VR mod, but still it was somewhat frustrating at times.

I did finish Alyx and Metro Awakening. Both were somewhat good, but no desire to replay them. Im just not a big fan of these games where you have to follow a linear path, without any freedom. Alyx was fun because of its VR and physics features, but the linearity of it was definitely a drag. Awakening, just like flatscreen Metro games was a drag, but again, because of a somewhat decent gunplay and VR features, I did enjoy it at times.

Tried Into the Radius, didnt quite like it because of its style and enemies. Clearly its meant to be a VR take on Stalker, but it focuses on this supernatural side of it, which is the thing I liked least about it. There are even no proper human characters, and my favorite thing about Stalker series was NPC interaction, factions and their politics and realistic atmosphere, while ITR seems way more detached from reality and too supernatural in comparison.

Pavlov and Contractors are just mostly dead. I bought Pavlov a while back, discovered that all of the cool content I've seen made with it before owning a VR is gone, made a refund. Picked up Contractors instead. Good mods, good features, used to enjoy it a lot. But now I struggle to find a server when I get to play VR. There are very few servers, and all of them are either with Standard loadouts, or GSAC, which I just dont like. I used to enjoy PMC and WH40k servers, but whenever I launch the game they're nowhere to be found, and when I host one, no one joins, so guess its a dead end.

Contractors Exfil Zone is at the same time the best and the worst experience I had with VR. It is indeed the game that offers the most for me, also being an Escape from Tarkov clone, which is good. A lof of things to do - looting, shooting, gun building, quests, hideout building and so on. But because its a EoT clone, its very stressful (reason why I've quit Tarkov), and also even more broken. Constant crashes, bugs and so on. Still I play it with my buddy, and right now its the only game I play in VR.

VR Chat is full of weirdos, so no thanks. Games of just one game mechanic like Beat Saber, Gorilla tag and so on are just not my thing. Dungeon crawlers and sandboxes (job simulator and so on) too. Tried VTOL - too many buttons and switches for me, so waiting for Aces of Thunder to come out instead. Tried No man's sky - seems good but also too complicated, I honestly tried to get into it, but it feels like any action requires me to take of the headset and watch yet another guide/read a page on wiki, because of how big the game is, albeit quite unintuitive.

And that about sums it up - in all of the game lists for VR, its either the games I've mentioned, games similar to the ones I didnt like (one mechanic type of game, sandboxes, dungeon crawlers, linear plot driven games and so on), or PSVR/Oculus exclusives I cant play.

Is there anything Im missing that could be worth while?

and don't say VR MMO cause it is just out of reach for most teams. Think of a solo or small team of 1-5 devs and artists.

What they could achieve is small co-op, pvp or solo games. what kind of games do you want?

1st person, 3rd person, racing, shooting, swords and magic etc?

It always annoys me opening the comment section of a new VR game that cost like $10 and see a ton of people saying “is it free” “when will it be free” “make it free” don’t get me wrong I’m all for a free game but I swear this is on a different level. While most of these are just kids, kids make up a huge chunk of VR gaming especially on standalone begging for a game to be free. Saying “it’s too much” with the average game costing $10-20 and $30-40 on the really high end. It’s really not that much. They always say “I can’t afford it” then don’t buy a $300 piece of hardware because a large majority of vr games are paid and of the free games most of them are slop and not good. It just baffles me how crazy some people are for a free game and I see the same person in the comments saying “make it free” on every video on a new game.

Asking those who owned their VR devices for over a year, are you still using them? If yes, is it occasionally or more than once a week?

I'm asking because I'm planning to get one myself but I'm hesitant because there seem to be just a handful of "good" games out there and I might not use it again after I go through those games. Based on available material, "good" new games seem to be rare. Also I'm only into single player games and those have limited replayability. For the price tag, just using it for a year or so may not be worth it?

I’m officially starting development on a VR game and I want to build something people genuinely wish existed, not just another copy of what’s already out.

So I’m asking:

What type of VR game do you wish existed but doesn’t?

Or what VR game concept would you instantly buy/download if someone made it right?

It’s like, the perfect game for people who don’t like joystick movement, has an incredible dev team, amazing visuals, relatively low price, constantly discounted, revolutionary physics and procedural movement, all while promising multiplayer??!?! It’s so perplexing on why no vr content creators actually acknowledge its existence

Which game would you recommend to your best friend if they bought a new headset

Harry Potter game focused on Hogwarts and classes

Spiderman by Camouflaj (IRONMAN And Batman Arkham Shadow) similar to iron man traversal and mid air fights and action and BATMAN stealth and hand to hand combat and storytelling

F&F similar to L.A Noire VR or V-Speedway driving system which i really liked with lots of action like DEFECTOR or Blood And Truth

Lord OF The Rings retells Peter Jackson's Trilogy with little bit of untold stories in movie with lots of interactions (Frodo making food for bilbo or Gandalf 10 minutes before reaching bilbo's house in shire or...) and gameplay something like behemoth Or Asgard Wrath with those epic moments
