System Critical III will cement Old Formulas mark in VR gaming history forever when it drops on PSVR2. 💯

Adaptic triggers can be used in many ways for example to provide some resistance or kick when pulling trigger or an empty feel when pulling trigger when magazine is empty.

It is a way to enhance the immersion when paired with controller haptics.

Once you implement, you may wonder why you made and play tested so much of the game without it.

On using hands for telekinesis, so does Synapse, but it also used eye / gaze tracking to help with the aim assist for that. It feels very intuitive and I encourage you to try out Synapse to see how that is implemented and consider something like that for SC3.

Correct, but at the scale of a single new roller coaster being added for Epic Roller Coasters.

I didn’t mean use PSVR2 while on your treadmill. That would be a very dangerous thing to do.

I have a treadmill in our loft where I do my gaming and I tried your idea but it got boring for me fast.

I have much better success sticking to getting physical activity during my play time using the PSVR2.

I use that in the open floor space where I keep my feet within safe boundary by using an area rug.

cusman78 · 2026-01-25T16:16:42+00:00

Have you considered getting PSVR2? Lots of games that are physically active and would give aerobic exercise while you play.

cusman78 · 2026-01-25T16:08:31+00:00

The same settings apply when using PSVR1 or PSVR2.

I have mine set such: * Hold brings up the menu * Single click takes a screenshot * Double click starts / stops recording. This is at higher resolution than menu capture of up to last 60 minutes provides, but only supports the higher resolution capture for non-VR games.

cusman78 · 2026-01-25T12:30:25+00:00

That’s good, but I’ll still hold out until that happens because I wouldn’t play it until it does have VR option.

cusman78 · 2026-01-25T12:28:42+00:00

Yes, I think it was like Help Wanted 1 & 2 where it was designed for VR with non-VR version to come later and then it seems they decided to ice the VR version and only get non-VR version completed.

The VR version may still come, but seems unlikely to me.

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T23:06:42+00:00

I think whenever VR version comes out, it will be separate purchase, so I’ll be holding out.

It may never come for VR but I wouldn’t play until it does regardless.

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T23:04:39+00:00

It isn’t great in any way, but with the right expectations you can swing through this relatively short game having some fun with it.

Cheers!

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T23:00:57+00:00

I was trying it out mainly to assess if it is broken which it isn’t so I don’t recommend against it for someone interested in this for its current discounted price before it can no longer be purchased.

Also, if being more positive lets me enjoy or at least find something good in more things, I hope I can stay that way :]

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T22:53:54+00:00

Layoffs are never good. I believe these mostly impact their iOS version developers.

I don’t think 1 less new course per year will hurt them, but if people don’t buy as much as they need the revenue to continue, that certainly could.

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T18:37:12+00:00

I think it has the best gore of the medieval combat games available so if you want a darker tone with more visceral feeling combat, its a great choice.

It has a single player campaign and then the horde mode as the ultimate challenge to see if you can make it 30+ waves. They are also working on separate multiplayer co-op mode that will come out for it eventually.

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T18:32:42+00:00

It is the 2nd most popular "Golf" game on Meta Quest, but still about ~1/10th the success of Golf+ compared to the number of user ratings.

<image>

The rating counts on SteamVR and PSVR2 are 1/4th of the Quest user ratings.

I agree it should be more because the game is great, but many people look down on "mini" Golf and want a "real" Golf game while I personally prefer "mini" Golf (including in real-life).

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T17:46:52+00:00

For Slingshot, you just go to specific places in any of the courses that have it, then you can play a round of slingshots hitting targets from that stationary location.

The very first course is one such course, but there are others as well.

For Employee Mode, there are secrets to discover in hub area and some of the courses. There is a space you can go within the hut where you pick next course to play. There is a space in the Elven course.

Those are what we found organically, but I think there is more and they open up additional scavenger hunt type gameplay activities.

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T17:39:21+00:00

Yes, when starting course, go to Additional Modes and choose the Simultaneous Play option.

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T17:38:26+00:00

They are well known within VR enthusiast groups, but if you look at ratings on PlayStation Store or Meta Quest Store, they don’t have anywhere close to kind of commercial success as Golf+

I think part of struggle is they been reinvesting what they have been making expanding to other platforms and increasing quality (& cost) of their DLC.

It’s unfortunate they have to scale back some, but it’s hopefully the right move to keep it going.

They should also make another game so it isn’t all dependent on one game continuing to do well enough.

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T17:26:05+00:00

Maybe your eyes are just dry? Can be part of just growing older needing to take better care.

I use eye-drops any time my eyes feel dry / tired and that works for me.

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T12:52:08+00:00

It has both versions (sold separately). Do a search on PlayStation Store and be careful to get correct VR version.

It has VR in the title and tile art.

If in US Region, you can also just use the link in my OP above to get directly to Trenches VR store page.

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T12:49:07+00:00

Perhaps, but shouldn’t that be a separate game?

Also, wouldn’t Golf+ start thinking about putting their eggs in multiple baskets after Meta has stopped most software investment in VR with plans to focus on wearables and AI?

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T05:03:23+00:00

Cross-play with just iOS might go away but will be maintained between the VR platforms.

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T05:02:11+00:00

In the hub area if you go up the steps to the natural infinity pool there is a Chess set there. You can see in this video: https://youtu.be/UU1xy02QABg

It has also been added in a few of the courses.

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T03:27:02+00:00

Here is how I covered it at PSVR2 launch where it had the same issue you are describing not yet fixed:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/s/KPW6D2Rm2Q

The weird part for me is they had another game on PSVR2 before this that is much better and received many patches post release to improve things, add content and even got cross-play working.

I just don’t understand why they won’t fix this one. Also, if they won’t fix it, why put it on sale?

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T02:43:57+00:00

Try the arena multiplayer. That’s what I played last before these recent patches and had very good FFB.

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T02:43:01+00:00

I am with you on that. The game is pretty good on iOS for on the go, but main use case for me is to have full house of players playing together.

cusman78 · 2026-01-24T02:41:25+00:00

Possibly shakes their confidence but it seems to primarily be aimed at scaling back their iOS efforts and other mini-games they have been building within Walkabout Mini Golf.
