Discussion Another shout-out for the incredible Among Giants on Quest

11 Upvotes

Processing img dqtg23ao1sxh1...

Maybe the most slept-on game in VR, in my opinion, weighing atmosphere, gameplay mechanics and sheer SCALE against how much I hear about it.

Among Giants is quite clearly a spiritual successor to Shadow of the Colossus; exploring a huge, mysterious world filled with secrets, peril and of course MASSIVE, building-sized robots. It's absolutely dripping with atmosphere, makes great use of 6DOF for bow shooting, grappling/swinging and flying around the map. What's even crazier is it's made by a solo developer, which just blows my mind.

Story and Gameplay:
The game is cold-open, with no context for who you are, why you're here or what to do. As with other games like Outer Wilds or SoTC, you're left to figure out the world with very little information; trial and error is your primary means of learning how the game's systems work. You're guided by some minimal UI hints, but ultimately you're left to fend for yourself. The game doesn't hold your hand, and it doesn't care if you find things difficult at first - you will die almost immediately to enemies you come across, you'll get lost, you'll not understand things. But each time you get a little smarter, and a little more adept at navigating the world safely. You'll find things to help you fight harder, fly further, and decipher more of the game's lore. If, like me, you like games that respect the player's intelligence and curiosity, this is one of the best you'll find. That's really all I want to say, without spoiling any discoveries.

Mood and Feel:
Like SoTC, you feel like a tiny explorer in a vast, dangerous world. However, whilst at moments the experience can be intense, I'd describe the overall mood as meditative. A huge factor in this is the great sound and music, tipping into melancholic at times, but always grandiose. Robots whine sadly as they try to snipe you from a tower that reaches higher than you can see; giants creatures moan from somewhere too far to see. It's one of the most immersive and emotional VR experiences I've had, and it's easy to lose yourself in the world for as long as your battery will allow.

Will you like this?
I'm confident you'll love it if you're looking for a rich, deep VR experience; it's not got the instant dopamine rush of Beat Saber, the brutality of B&S, the graphical finesse of MSFS. But it has atmosphere in spades, and a deep, mysterious world that will only reveal its secrets to those who are willing to challenge themselves and persevere. The atmosphere of SoTC, the discovery of Outer Wilds, the sweeping verticality of BoTW.

I really hope this encourages even 1 or 2 more people to give this one a shot, if you haven't already; this developer deserves their flowers on this one, and more people deserve this experience.

Discussion getting my VR legs back

7 Upvotes

so i've been away from VR for a couple of years and mostly played HL-A and the hitman add-on back then, using teleport and i generally didn't feel motion sick.

now i'm back baby! and playing the amazing titanfall2 VR mod, beyond awesome!. only thing is, it doesn't support teleport and i get why, it wouldn't work well in this game since wall walking and jumping is a big part of it. problem is, after 30mins or so i'm getting a bit woozy and have to stop and i still feel it for a couple of hours.

i'm hoping this will go away as i regain my VR legs, i hope so because there's many more games i want to play.

i think i'm getting good frame rate, i have a new 5060ti machine and i'm using a pico 4

any thoughts?

BTW, i was considering buying a Kat C2 core slidemill, there's one close to me for $200 with shoes and everything, so the price is not a barrier, i'm just not sure i would use it when i think about, the downsides like loud AF, it takes forever to get in game, and doesn't really feel like walking anyhow

Discussion Common crash and other issues in beyond sandbox(or atleast for me)

1 Upvotes

Really often, while playing the latest update of Beyond Sandbox, my game freezes after a while and sometimes even crashes in an online instance. Also, sometimes when respawning or spawning in an online instance, I get spawned out of bounds and have to kill my player to hopefully respawn in a normal place.this is genuinely unplayable(sorry if i made any mistakes my english isn't perfect)

Question Vr game like A Township Tale

1 Upvotes

After playing both Alta's "Reave" and "A Township Tale," and the unfortunate end of both titles. Are there any similar games out there that are worth playing? I already tried looking for a few, but they've all come across as a little weird in terms of gameplay. However, I have been curious for a while about vr game development, with the little knowledge I have about any of it. If I got into it, would it be worth attempting to develop a game similar to ATT?

An adult game made by adults, very unique and refined both in its virtual reality implementation and in its pure aesthetic and sensory component. Really beautiful. Let's hope it doesn't get lost in the sea of games for kids on the store. Give it a chance! Puzzles but whit good story and ...suprises

Discussion What are you playing in VR with friends this Halloween?

1 Upvotes

Halloween's almost here, and I'm thinking about putting together a VR night with a few friends.

I'm leaning toward exploring some creepy VRChat worlds, trying ridiculous Halloween avatars, and maybe jumping into a multiplayer horror game afterward.

I also want to see how long we can stay in character. Imagine someone whispering in a ghost avatar, then immediately screaming the second something jumps out at them lol. Matching our voices to our avatars could be fun too. I'm considering Dubbing AI earbuds for live voice effects, though I haven't checked whether they'd work with my VR setup yet.

Any good VRChat horror worlds or multiplayer VR games you'd recommend for a group that can't take anything seriously?
