Do you like the idea of a stomach-churning rollercoaster, but with added jump scares and general terror?
Tinker Tailor Solider Toy - a review of the PSVR2 version of last year's Lemming-esque puzzler Tin Hearts
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.
Indie developer Carlos Alfonso is working on Cold VR, a game where standing still isn't an option. The complete opposite to SUPERHOT VR.
YouTubers with heart monitors inbound!
It's surely only a matter of time before a VR horror game gives someone a heart attack. I'm sure you'd need existing health issues and a tendency to scare easily, but still, it's bound to happen if it hasn't already.
I crashed a 450hp Porsche in GT7 the other night on PSVR2. It was a VERY wet day, water sitting on the track and I aquaplaned after a hillcrest at 160mph, spun 8 times and ended up facing oncoming traffic. It proper shit me up and my heart went NUTS! It was awesome.
Lol chicken. But no VR horror can be next level.
Easy fix....turn the volume off.
I just played for a couple of hours and can honestly say that the jumps are pretty predictable. Though the game is fun it's not provoking any of the "terror" that I'm hearing so much about. All of the reaction videos that I've seen seem pretty artificial and corny, to say the least.
