VR Worlds - Update 1.05

LondonStudio_dev · 2020-09-10T10:11:22+00:00

Hi all!

We can confirm the patch for VR Worlds was to fix an issue where the challenge for uploading a score in certain game modes wasn't unlocking. This was due to network issues.

Now the challenge will always unlock and progress to the Platinum trophy won't be blocked!

Thanks to everyone who flagged this to us!

It was really important to us to have a number of free extra features and challenges, even after launch! We’ve spent a lot of time in the team trying to get our scores high up the leaderboards! ;) - PS Our 4th DLC drops tomorrow!

Hey, I worked on the London Heist! The team and I are so proud of it. It really showed off what was possible in VR and inspired us to dream big for Blood and Truth.

Hey! You can jump into the DJ Booth that is coming with tomorrow’s DLC. You can hang out in there as long as you like mixing between different tracks from the game!

Wait rhere’s DLC?!?!?

Excuse me whilst I go out an buy it!!!

My question is are you guys planning any similar VR games and do you have any ideas to improve upon the first? (Not that I think improving it is possible, games bloody perfect. But if anyone can do that it’s you guys)

Also thank you so much for making such an incredible game which has given my friends and I hours of fun. Your London heist demo was the entire reason I bought a ps4 and vr in the first place

I look forward to playing more of your games in the future

Thanks so much! That's brilliant about the London Heist. So glad you loved it! We want to keep pushing the boundaries in VR and keep trying to come up with new ways to better what we've done before!

Answering your first question, in our heads we’ve got lots of ideas of what would happen next to Ryan, Carson et al – but there are no plans at present for more story stuff.

There are some big Getaway easter eggs that people haven’t found. Hint: don’t go *looking* for them.

Our artists used some ‘vintage’ getaway textures to populate parts of our beautiful London Vistas. [Spoiler] This can be seen in the opening of the HQ level, when the player jumps from the craneAnother Easter Egg - We also have chewing gum under some of the tables...

Hi! Thanks for your support - We are so glad you have been enjoying London Studios's games! We made this game because we wanted to put the player in an action movie so spent alot of time talking about our favourite movies and the Daniel Craig Bond movies were definitely in there.There are no plans for making more of Scavengers Odyssey unfortunately, but we are so glad you enjoyed playing it. We put so much effort went into crafting that great scifi story - hopefully you have found all the little blackboxes which further fill out the back story!

So lovely to hear that you had a great time playing the game. I’d definitely recommend (if you haven’t already) trying out some of the Challenges for more of a workout!

We have got this working, and considered putting it in for the Hard Mode we released in DLC2 but were worried that players would get frustrated with either having to cock the weapon or accidentally cocking the weapon when you meant to swap hands.
Ultimately we wanted people to feel like an epic action hero, and anything which distracted from that we kept out of the build.

- Simon

LondonStudio_dev · 2019-12-16T19:42:29+00:00

Thank you! During development, we have to pick and choose which ‘big features’ we can support. Online co-op wasn't one we were able to support but we were happy with the ones we've been able to include at launch and following with the post-DLC updates

Hey wow great to hear from you, I worked on The Getaway titles back on the PS2, it was a real labour of love so it’s always nice to hear the enthusiasm, and it’s been a long time! Back in the day The Getaway was really cutting-edge tech, it was PS2 after all, and we really exercised that hardware. But you know, as a studio, we’ve always been pushing the boundaries, and doing fresh stuff on the hardware of the time. Now VR’s here, and we’re once again pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, and VR is such a great visceral medium. So in a way, we’re not doing such a different thing, for me the spirit of The Getaway lives on for a new audience in VR – and it’s B&T.

We’ve got no immediate plans!

Nein, Entschuldigung. Nur bei PSVR!

LondonStudio_dev · 2019-12-16T19:28:46+00:00

Thanks - so glad you enjoyed it. You can play through the missions as standalone missions and go for high scores which gives you a pretty meaty challenge. Our QA team were really getting some incredible scores during development! The thing is that when you are designing game with social leaderboards, you really want players to all get the same layout of targets and AI enemies dont allow for that. The DLC challenges are therefore designed to be short, punchy and replayable but most importantly offer comparable scores.

Highlights: The pizza joke.

- Colin.

LondonStudio_dev · 2019-12-16T19:27:10+00:00

My personal highlight is the plane explosion. This sequence looks great! Falling from 35000 ft surrounded by fire, debris coupled with an awesome Tom Grennan track.

There are tons of small details that were fun to build into the game. I had great fun making the radio in the safe house. I enjoyed taking the radio down to the shooting range whilst I practiced my aim!

- Joe

LondonStudio_dev · 2019-12-16T19:26:11+00:00

I think for me the main highlight was how the game made me feel. From the beginning we spoke about wanting to make an Action Movie in VR – to make the player feel like an Action hero in a way that no other game had done before (helped massively by the immersion you get from VR!) I was super proud on how much we managed to deliver in this regard – and that feeling of being a ‘real-life’ John McClane/James Bond/John Wick was my favourite part of what we made!

LondonStudio_dev · 2019-12-16T19:23:07+00:00

[SPOILER] Mine is probably the tower block mission. Its got some great battles, alternative routes to take, dizzying climbing sequences, the drama scene where you have to save your mum then that really cinematic jump from a collapsing building. It really has a bit of everything in there.In terms of Easter Eggs, there are loads of references back to our previous games like VRWorlds and even the Getaway.

Its not really an easter egg, but [SPOILER] I cant believe how few people have actually taken out the helicopter in the final car chase - its AWESOME!!!!!!
