Psychological horror MADiSON VR from Bloodious Games and Perp Games is finally coming to PSVR 2 and PCVR this May.
yeah, we haven't heard this before :P
that being said, let's hope this time the release date finally sticks. Looking forward to playing this in VR.
From the devs regarding the last delay. 120 FPS native with high quality shadows.
"Our ambition is to create a realistic and daunting atmosphere with MADiSON VR. And we achieved this through realistic real-time lighting and shadows. These elements heavily utilise the CPU on all
platforms. To make this possible in VR, we use a technique called "Single-Pass Rendering" so that resource- heavy operations are only done once per frame. Unfortunately, our use of this previously precluded us from also using the eye-tracked dynamic foveated rendering (DFR) feature on PSVR 2, as the Unity PSVR 2 implementation had a known issue with this combination. Without DFR, it would have only been possible to release using the 60/120 (interpolation) mode, which worked adequately, however we always felt fell a little short of the quality we were striving for. As of 22nd March Unity's new SDK-now opens up DFR and by extension the possibility to hit the gohz mode. A last minute
improvement we simply can't ignore."
Unity fixing this issue is good news for PSVR2 in general.
Saber Interactive has announced MudRunner VR for Meta Quest headsets, bringing the off-roader into VR soon.
Nice! It's a shame that it has to be on the dumbest common denominator on the Quest though. I use a Quest2, but would much prefer being able to max out the graphics on Steam. I'm not looking to upgrade to a Quest3 at the moment.
You gotta admit though, even the quest 2 poops all over the apple vision pro in terms of games. The quest, and even the quest 3 is just an affordable entry level.
Well yea, that's why I have a Quest2. :D
It's a perfect entry point for PCVR! And yea, it's cool that it can run games natively. I just wish Mudrunner VR was coming to Steam so we can get it at its best.
Apple Vision Pro is made for complete home computer replacement, and it just happens to have a few games. It'll never be a focus. That price is crazy!
It is clear PSVR2 should have taken the stand alone approach with optional PS5 connectivity for those who own a PS5 to get those few premium titles that exist as 95% of the VR titles out there are stand alone quest versions. That would have bridged two markets. I just don't think Sony have the appetite to run another platform outside of the PS5 though.
Farbridge's upcoming VR RTS Homeworld: Vast Reaches will be available for Meta Quest headsets from 2nd May 2024.
'Down the Rabbit Hole' was okay at best. I'd take that out and add in Statik on PSVR. Amazing game - innovative and with a nice dark humour. There are quite a few other good ones missed as well, but Statik is a standout omission.
May grab Puzzling Places at some point.
My gaming budget goes to RE4 remake.
