VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Now that Meta Quest 3 and PSVR2 have had a full year on the market, there's a clearer window from these platforms in the long run. Like the console space, there's less of a unique ethos between them and the older SteamVR – other than their headset shape and controller configuration. Of course, that's not universally the case, as there is one exclusive that made our 2024 shortlist. But the overriding theme across VR platforms last year is one of substantial iteration & familiarity versus world-changing revolution & exclusivity. With that in mind, let's take a gander at our finalists."
I still need to complete it, but it's genuinely one of my favorite surprises of 2024.
I have this game and have not played it yet. I have been playing a lot of mixed reality games lately. I will definitely start this game today as I keep hearing how good this game is.
It's an absolute shame that Arkham Shadow is locked behind the Quest 3. There's really no reason that Quest can't do a PC desktop version for those on a Q2. They used to support their desktop app platform more. It would potentially run better anyways. I'm just not ready to upgrade my headset yet, as i have had it just short of 2 years now. When I can, i always opt to buy my VR games on Steam.
Btw, I'd add Subside as an honorable mention too. While not very gamey, it was the most incredible VR diving experience I've had to date, and finding/collecting all of the collectibles was actually a ton of fun, as it unlocked diving upgrades.
Yea Batman is very cool, but now playing contract exfil, I will get Metro also next
"The Gold Coast-based (Queensland, Australia) indie games developer Toast Interactive (the renowned studio behind the standout VR title "Richie’s Plank Experience"), are today very happy and excited to announce that their award-winning platformer "Max Mustard", is now available for PCVR via Steam." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
With its colorful world and engaging gameplay, could Max Mustard be the thrilling journey that PSVR 2 owners have been eagerly waiting for?
Is that a bad thing though? Plus this game has good reviews and I don't mind good quality platformers, we don't have many of them in VR
I was implying it in a good way though. I missed out on the Astrobot Rescue Mission on the PSVR and Sony is looking unlikely to port it over to the PSVR2 which I own. Read so many good reviews but I didn't want to invest into the old PSVR. So if this comes here in SE Asia, I will definitely check it out.
Old PSVR is great too, plus its quite cheap qnd has good amount of games to play.. unless you have a VR for PC to play the games that were released for PSVR
Yeah but I just can't justify buying 1 right now even with all the Free PSVR games I got from PS+. My rwal problem with VR is the motion sickness which I still can't get use to. I only pkay my PSVR2 for stationary game like beat the beats and only able to use it in car showcase in GT7. Bought my PSVR2 bundled with the Horizon VR game, I couldn't play pass the first climbing section before my body gave up and I was down for the whole day. Tried it with GT7, and I couldn't even finish a lap at Tsukuba before having to lie down. That's how bad I'm affected by VR.
You wanna know the 1st game that I tried with the old PSVR? Farpoint. I paid to tried it for 30mins at a kiosk here. 10 mins in, I was sweating heavily and felt dizzy, I gave up and end up puking. Had to ask my wife to drive us back home that day. I was still feeling dizzy the next day thus decided not gonna invest in VR.
Yeah, that sounds bad then.. it took me about a week to get used to Resident Evil 7.. each day when I felt that I don't feel well, I was stopping immediately, but after a week I got used to it (still cant use smooth turning, so I use click turning, that works best for me), but I got used to smooth walking .. if you can't get used to walking, many games let you teleport, that makes games almost static, try to check for those settings in the vomfort/VR settings.. good luck
I will be ordering this when I get my meta quest 3 in a few weeks.
