But honestly, it did alright for itself, providing a gaming experience that was well worth persisting with. Now though it's time for that same game to make the next step, jumping up to full-on next-gen gaming with an Enhanced edition for Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PC."
Playasia has a number of physical games on sale this week.
Joining us this week is Stuart Tilley, Game Director over at Firesprite, developer of The Persistence – a terrifying survival horror roguelike set in the cold, unforgiving depths of space.
Tilley spoke a lot about updating The Persistence to next-generation consoles and how Sony’s PlayStation 5 – the Dualsense controller in particular – has allowed for a level of immersion he never thought possible.
This game is the most fun tense and satisfying vr games of this gen ..can't say anything about the flat screen version as I can't go back.
LOL. And we didn't know that yet? There are as many "Dual-sense is amazing" articles on this site as there are "XB GamePass is amazing" articles. It is rather sad on both sides of the fence really.
Yeah this developer should really personally apologise to you for sharing his opinion like that and forcing to you read it. He's so inconsiderate.
Yup that developer has been living under a rock for the last 9 months.
Didn't both reading the article. The title said everything i need to know about the piece.

If you don't play this in VR you're denying yourself the full experience. This game was designed from the ground up for VR and presumably now has a flat version to bolster sales.
I played it on PSVR a few years back and it was great. On PS5 now it looks awesome, but without the headset it feels... fine?
It depends on the game tbh. If the game has a dynamic resolution or unlocked frame rate, the PS5 boosts accordingly (games like Star Wars Squadrons, Dreams or No Man's Sky), but the best results are for the games that are directly patched, like Blood & Truth.
NMS has been fully playable on PSVR for ages now, but on OG PS4 it was blurry as hell, imo, and not much better on Pro. On PS5 it's a world apart and is as beautiful as you'd hope!
I liked the game demo on PSVR so I bought the retail version only to find some idiot thought it was a good idea to put in a large super bright, as in pinned to max, HUD on the side that is distracting as hell (in the demo it was smaller and more subdued). In a dark game like this it stands out even worse, they ruined the game atmosphere and I never went back to play it.
