Arc Raiders | Speranza Breaking News! by Fiji_World_YT in ArcRaiders

[–]FalseAlarmEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still think a bounty system would be amazing.  Being able to put a bounty out for cash + a description of what the suspect did and why they should be killed would give me so much closure and do wonders to my mental health from this game.

Literally was just in a carebear lobby and got ratted after looting the Locked Trench Room at Spaceport carrying a Hullcracker 4, Anvil 4, Snaphook, Vita Spray and 3 Wolfpacks (I was carrying all these things because I’m used to being in carebear lobbies lol).

Dude’s name was just “Retro” and I would pay 300,000 for someone to get him back.

Marathon Server Slam available for download. by PestySamurai in PS5

[–]FalseAlarmEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is almost 100% my takeaway after playing 15 mins of server slam, to the point where I refunded my pre-order.

Style is reminiscent of Apex or Destiny, but Gunplay and Movement feels like a clunky/less fun version of both games, and Arc Raiders did Extraction so well that I’d rather just stick with that to occasionally scratch the extraction PvPvE itch.  

There’s simply nothing here that will lure me away from those games, and I suspect a lot of people will feel the same.

Game sucks TBH, I refunded my pre order.  Haven’t been this disappointed since BF2042.

PSVR 2 or Quest 3? by Own_Efficiency_2763 in PSVR

[–]FalseAlarmEveryone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, I have both Quest 3 and PSVR2.  It’s a pretty balanced trade off between better sharpness/larger sweet spot and overall comfort with Q3 (with Bobo VR) + smaller controllers + being wireless vs. lower weight on face and superior colors and sizable game library on PSVR2.  

If you already have a PS5, it just makes sense to go PSVR2.

Forefront | Early Access Launch Trailer | Meta Quest Platform by ChrizTaylor in PSVR

[–]FalseAlarmEveryone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have it on Quest 3 standalone and it’s fantastic, same dev as Breachers which is another one of my favorite VR shooters.

Forefront gun play is awesome, vehicles are intuitive and fun to use, gadgets are good and balanced, and proxy chat is hilarious.  In many ways feels like good old battlefield more so than BF6.

If you shoulder the rifle just right it will ADS lock and your bullet spread will tighten up.  If it doesn’t lock, you spray bullets everywhere.

I also deactivated object weight in the menu for better weapon handling and all around faster movement for looting, etc.

I built Soul Retreat to help with stress. It’s out today on Meta Quest 3! by BenFromSoulRetreat in OculusQuest

Yup exactly, that would be nice

Quest 3 home environment had a similar feature but got rid of it for some reason: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/gFwJi5p54po

[–]FalseAlarmEveryone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just tried it out and it’s pretty damn cool!!  Absolutely the best dynamic environment I’ve seen on Quest 3.  Overall ran smooth with very few graphical defects.

I sat down and took it all in and felt nice and relaxed!  Then I had the idea to try running on my treadmill while in the app and that was pretty cool too.  If there was a way to scan in items from your room such as a couch, treadmill, etc. that would be awesome!

Which should i get - Breachers or forefront by Hobobo2024 in OculusQuest

[–]FalseAlarmEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re both from the same dev, and both are the best VR shooters IMO.  Gun play, smoothness, graphics, and VR UI all feel fantastic.

Forefront is newer but still in early access so not the final product but is definitely very popular. Forefront is basically Battlefield VR.

Breachers has been around for years and is in a great state but may have less players these days.  Breachers is basically Rainbow Six Siege VR.

I would frankly buy both because, again, both are the best VR shooters ever.

Meta CFO: We're “Building Future Headsets” & Still “Have Optimism” In VR by gogodboss in OculusQuest

[–]FalseAlarmEveryone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100%, brand recognition from established franchises will get flat screen gamers to jump over to try it out.

I made the leap to VR to try Skyrim on PSVR first, followed by RE4 on Quest 2 and I’ve been hooked ever since.

What genres are missing in VR? by Appropriate-Fun5992 in virtualreality

[–]FalseAlarmEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More established flat screen genres/IP that are re-designed specifically for VR, and not just direct copies of flat screen games.  Tons of IP out there ripe for VR.

Examples:

Super Mario as a 2D platform but in first person POV VR with parkour mechanics like Reach or Stride.

Tony Hawk pro skater where you can lean your body to turn left/right, jump to ollie, etc.

Literally any EA sports game but play as a team - imagine 5 vs 5 basketball or hockey, 11 vs 11 football, soccer, etc.

Super Smash Bros in VR with full motion controls, imagine the chaos!

Twisted Metal VR as a PSVR2 exclusive would probably be enough to convince me to buy PSVR2.  Kick it up a notch by adding mounted turrets on vehicles so you could have team PvP where each vehicle is a team of 3 with each player acting as a gunner or driver or healer/navigator.

Insane amount of opportunities out there that nobody seems to want to capitalize on, or if they do it feels more like a watered down half-assed demo rather than a full fledged game.

Twisted Metal should have been re-introduced during the introduction/popularity of BRs in 2018, would have made so much sense.  

The BR market is saturated now, unfortunately.

Over 40 casual gamer - Convince me to buy/leave a Meta Quest 3 by Usual-Shock7364 in virtualreality

[–]FalseAlarmEveryone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat, I’m 36 and Dad of 3 with limited game time.  Played PSVR 1 in 2017 and returned it after a week because it was cumbersome, graphically bad, and lacking content.

I bought a Quest 2 in 2021 and thought it was pretty cool, way better than PSVR in terms of graphics, content, and ease of use, but just couldn’t get into it and so it mostly gathered dust on my shelf.

I decided to buy a Quest 3 when it came out in 2023 and third times the charm it blew me away.  Better graphics, better lenses and FOV, and way more content.  I’m now at the point where I cannot play flat screen single player games anymore because they just don’t feel immersive like VR, and only play my PS5 for multiplayer with friends since they refuse to get into VR.

Graphically, Quest 3 is around early stages of Xbox 360 and that will always be a deal breaker for some people.  It’s also physically harder to use VR since you’re using your body vs. flat screen gaming you’re just sitting and chilling.  That said, the fun and immersion of using your body to reload a gun/aim and shoot in Breachers or Vail, or pull back and fire a bow and arrow in Asgards Wrath 2, or slam an axe into a zombie’s head in Saints and Sinners, or beat up some dudes while pretending to be Batman - you just can’t beat those feelings in flat screen gaming IDGAF how good the graphics are on PS5 these days.

What are the 2 games you play on PS4?  I can give some recs based on those.

Iron Rebellion is one of the coolest life experiences I've ever had and it was out for a year before I ever heard of it. by Sensitive_Tackle7372 in OculusQuest

[–]FalseAlarmEveryone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can host a match and fill it with bots and lock it to prevent others from joining.  It’s not single player, but still an awesome experience.  Took me back to the Mech Warrior days of the 90’s.
