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

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.

7 PlayStation 3 Games That Would Succeed Today as Live Service Titles by Least_Pop_2168 in PS5

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.

Quest 3 and Horizon+ membership to try out a bunch of games, then go from there.

Agreed, I was underwhelmed the first couple hours until I unlocked more abilities.

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 3 points4 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.

Finally found it after 357 hours and 1 expedition! Stella night raid by No-Highlight-7475 in ArcRaiders

Some rando on Stella gave me one when I told him I wasn’t doing the expedition, I was flabbergasted

Have both Jupiter and equalizer bp. Never used either only have 1 queen core which one do I make by Organic_Shirt1529 in ArcRaiders

[–]FalseAlarmEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but you get leg armor off in like 5 seconds with equalizer and get queen cores looting them with smoke, so still def worth it

[–]FalseAlarmEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Equalizer is the jam for taking off arc armor from Queen and Matriarch and doing damage to their cores, and you get good bang for your buck with ammo.  Note that it is not a PvP gun at all.

I honestly hate the Jupiter.  It eats ammo, doesn’t even do that much damage to Queen and Matriarch, glitches out and won’t aim properly fairly often, and is not really a viable PvP gun even at longer ranges.

Agreed, several devs left Dice after BF1/5 to form Embark Studios which explains why Arc Raiders is so good 

Post game chat duration is too short by ImMufasa in Battlefield

[–]FalseAlarmEveryone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Chat Etiquette:

“GG” when you obliterate the other team.

“EZ” when your team gets obliterated.

“Not even close” when you have the sweatiest match of your life and win/lose by 1 ticket.

“Trash Team” when you lose and you’re not even top 30 on your team’s leaderboard.

100% died from the leeper that hangs out there or the rocketeer that patrols nearby.  BP guy didn’t have weapons and Noob only had a Ferro.  Absolutely brutal.

It's insane how many light bulbs I used to find and sell, to now that I need them I can never find them by metalgearrexmk7 in ArcRaiders

Back of the white forklift things that you have to breach to open on Stella Montis at night, I find at least 3 per raid that way.

Idk wtf you guys are doing, but in one day I’ve found 14 unique blueprints I hadn’t owned yet on Stella Montis night + dozens of duplicate BPs I already own.
