CG writes: Great news for cyberpunk fans as Iris VR’s dark cyberpunk themed game LOW-FI now has a playable 2D version. The game in development initially was for VR headsets only, including Playstation VR, but now looks expanded so people without VR can experience it.
CG writes: We have been covering LOW-FI. for a number of years now when it first arrived on Kickstarter. Over the last year or so, development has been extremely slow. But today, Iris VR posted on the Kickstarter an update. Having now merged with Titan1Studios who has offered some financial incentives to finish the project. There’s also a slew of other projects, being worked on. But the biggest news is that they’re planning for a LOW-FI demo in the next couple of months around August. The demo will be a vertical slice of the game, focusing more on the flat screen version and allowing you to explore some of the club district area. A demo would be great for potential sales.
I was wondering what’s going on with this game since it’s not on the PSVR2 page anymore, but when I look at my wishlist it’s still there. Thank goodness there’s now there’s a demo coming soon.
A new VR game (early access) for Quest owners with a cyberpunk flavour. Metacity Patrol has a lot going for it as a sandbox experience. Game is currently £2.99 on the Meta store which is a steal. Meanwhile, LOW-FI which has been in development for longer than we can remember (since 2019) sits in development hell. Over ambitious and needing more funding despite having backing from a Kickstarter and SONY. It's amazing that Metacity Patrol (also by a solo developer) ticks all the boxes and is constantly updated adding more features. LOW-FI hasn't had an update for almost a year where the developer posts on X how he is enjoying life and not updating the game.
CG writes: In development, the heavily Blade Runner inspired desktop and VR game LOW-FI from developer IRIS VR received an update a few days ago. This brings the game to version 0.56 which would suggest the game is just over half finished. We put this latest build to the test and get the feeling, that with each update LOW-FI is finally becoming an actual game. It looks great in VR and on desktop, but we wonder how many more months before the game nears completion. IRIS VR maintains that the game will release this year but we’re not so sure given the fact there is still lots to do and the team are a handful of people.
Looks good but is taking forever to come out. One of the reasons why I wanted a PS VR 2. When it releases, and, if it turns out well, then I might take the plunge and get the headset and the game.
