Stu at Sushimonster85 writes 'The title may not say this is a Firewatch spoilercast, but it kind of is. Stu, Graham, and John have all played Campo Santo’s first game, and share some thoughts. By some, I mean a lot. If you are yet to play Firewatch, there are heavy spoilers from the sixth minute, right up till minute fifty-one. If you’re wanting to play that game but are yet to get round to it, maybe skip that section, you will come back just in time to hear Al and Stu get way into sports. Al has been banging on the Pro Evolution Soccer drum, whilst Stu gets way into the dark side of NHL 16, one £1.69 transaction at a time. In news we look at the recently announced Fallout 4 DLC, and mourn the loss of GameTrailers.'
Sometimes you want to explore wild environments while exploring mysteries, escaping flesh eating 8monsters, or even be the monster yourself.
If you never played firewatch, do yourself a favor and play it. It's not very long but it's a fantastic gaming experience.

From UploadVR: "Perhaps one of the most demanded VR mods out there, Firewatch VR, is now complete.
Developer Raicuparta recently moved their mod, named Two Forks VR, to a 1.0 release. This update doesn’t actually add much to the mod over the past release, but the developer says the mod is now in “maintenance mode”, essentially meaning it will just be updated to keep working with any possible future updates to Firewatch itself.
Raicuparta previously made an excellent VR mod for Outer Wilds, and now Two Forks VR features a lot of advanced VR mod features like snap turning and more. If you want to try the mod for yourself you’ll need to subscribe to Raicuparta’s Patreon campaign."
Really cool. Something the main developers should have considered when VR was really getting hot. Maybe next round with new headsets coming.
The more interesting thing is that Modders are, in a way, proving what Sony wants to do with some VR games being hybrids besides the ground up developed games. Make the necessary tweaks and modifications and boom. VR game.
Games like RE7, Borderlands, Skyrim, Doom, Dirt Rally, etc have made the case. Some very close like Hitman 3. It just needed more tweaking. Just need more of the best and at a higher quality. Developers win. Gamers win either way in or out of VR.
