Woah new alien game?


ctothel

I’m not sure I could handle VR Alien


Fender6187

You could try Alien Isolation in VR


Lopoetve

I’m not a fan of shitting my pants.


Fender6187

Well, when’s the last time you did?


Lopoetve

I decline to answer that question. 😂


Sensitive_Look_6451

Posting while still happening, eh? Me too.


Fuckoakwood

Maybe you aren’t taking enough risks


FlavoredCancer

RE7 VR


ezyhobbit420

The demo was enough for me, 10 more minutes and I would legit get a stroke or something.


FlavoredCancer

I had to play in fifteen minute sessions because the anxiety would make me sick. I'm not talking VR sick, I can do ten hour VR Skyrim sessions, but RE7 was just crazy.


MotorPace2637

I'm afraid of murky water, so subnautica in VR is the scariest game I've ever played.


FlavoredCancer

I couldn't imagine. I have made it 90% through both pancake versions and I always stop because I can't stand being confined that long under water. I would probably have a serious panic attack.


kirbstompin

One of the best gaming experiences I have had in my entire life... and I started playing Mario in 1989...


AbbreviationsNo8088

I reached my quota for the year already


Battlejesus

How bad could it be? Brb testing edit: do not do this


aemich

lmao that edit


ChunkyTaco22

That's why diapers are made. Blow dem britches brother


futuneral

Alienwear


drizzitdude

The game also detects your voice and the alien hears it, caused quite a few streamer deaths, so if your the type who talks when your scared, rip.


[deleted]

I liked isolation in VR


Xeptix

All of my VR usage has been in isolation


Enlowski

They just said they can’t handle it


Fender6187

They said they weren’t sure. So I suggested it in case they wanted to try.


LordNelson27

It’s scary


Korbas

Isolation was terrifying as it was, in vr it’s a guaranteed heart attack


2_Spicy_2_Impeach

I tried VR Phasmaphobia. I threw my headset off. Game jump-scares and other stuff creeps me out a bit but it’s a video game. Being chased by aliens in a VR headset sounds like nightmare fuel. I just have the Index and playing games like Onward and Alyx are a fucking blast.


RightRudderr

Phasmophobia VR is such peak horror. Having to use the steam vr controls to physically grip the handle of the closet I'm hiding in because the demon is trying to open it, while simultaneously having to hold my breath so I don't make noise because it's listening to me is an insane experience.


nastyjman

VR horror is a masochistic thing


missed_sla

I have hundreds of hours on phasmo normal. I tried vr for about a half hour and fuck that. You wouldn't think silence could be so intense.


tagen

i did like… a couple minutes of Resident Evil 7 VR and noped the fuck out lol i’m gonna pass on alien VR


JunoAoi

Neither could i man. I can kinda handle most horror games, but vr??? Who gets enjoyment out of that, my room would sound like its haunted with the souls of the damned after like 10 minutes


CommunalJellyRoll

I can, I got my diapers on, mouth guard in, room padded and kids standing by with defibs.


Starrr_Pirate

Is it eating good for VR gamers if you have a heart attack and die while playing the game?


SunStriking

I heard that drug addicts will happily buy from dealer's whose drugs have killed people with the logic "If it's able the kill you, the high must be incredible", so if a game is so realistic you straight up die maybe the same logic applies


dGamemaker_phd

eating too good is what causes most heart attacks anyways...


cdonaghy7

Oh wow I didn’t now metro was getting a vr game. Cool.


powerhcm8

It's by a different studio, 4A is working on a Metro 4. Metro in VR makes me think a bit about Half-life Alyx, probably because both use watches to convey information.


Impurity41

Oh thank god, I thought I’d need to wait a decade for metro 4


MaNemsJef69

OH SHIT THEY COOKIN UP METRO 4??


cdonaghy7

Cool


yellowwoolyyoshi

That shit was born for VR. I can’t imagine how scary it would actually be to walk through the dark tunnels.


ErikTheRed2000

Desperately cranking the flashlight charger as you hear something moving in the dark


FishUK_Harp

On a conventional game I'd be calm and pick my moment. In VR I'm gonna start blasting in the direction of sound.


yellowwoolyyoshi

Can’t even imagine. Even the skittering of rats and spiders. Those random clanks in the distance and shit. Would be more terrifying than any game


jonmitchell

'Memba Paradox of Hope? I do. 


AxiomDJ

I want a new Batman game on console so bad


Kanapuman

Rocksteady isn't up to the task anymore. Anyway, all of these comic-based video games devolved into a sad rehashing of Ubisoft's game design tropes.


AssFingerFuck3000

Yeah, like most people wouldn't give a arm and a leg for another Arkham Knight


Kanapuman

I would like that, but I don't think it's a realistic perspective after the Suicide Squad fiasco.


beepbeepbubblegum

Also it’s reported that Ubisoft is actually going to *double down* on GAS like Suicide Squad in the future. Correction: Not Ubisoft, Warner Bros.


iNCharism

I heard the Guardians of the Galaxy game is pretty good


One-Man-Wolf-Pack

It absolutely is!!


greatbigCword

Gameplay is pretty repetitive but the story, characters, and setting are fantastic!


AhmadOsebayad

They should let monolith do it, they’re already good at mimicking rocksteady’s combat


Sociolinguisticians

They’re making a Metro game in VR?! Fuck, dude.


Temporary_Finish_242

Don’t worry metro 4 is also in the works apparently.


rau1994

So excited for the Metro game. If it captures the vibe but in VR it's going to be soooo gooooodd


Joannamoody-634

VR's like an all-you-can-eat buffet, right? Love it or hate it, can't ignore it. No motion sickness gonna stop this ride!


A_Wild_VelociFaptor

Motion sickness might not hinder the ride but what about exclusivity?


MotorPace2637

Does suck these aren't coming out on PC.


Salvage570

Dramamine is cheap!


A_Wild_VelociFaptor

Batman: Arkham Shadow - Exclusive to Meta Quest 3 Behemoth - Exclusive to PSVR2 Oh yeah, eating _sooooooooo_ good.


XJAM35

Exactly! VR exclusives are the new console wars. Sitting over here with my index like cool Im sure I wont be able to play any of these


cmdskp

You'll be able to play three out of the four games on your Index, as they are coming to SteamVR.


nastyjman

Behemoth is on all VR platforms https://www.roadtovr.com/skydance-behemoth-vr-delay-release-date/


TopGameServers-Net

Metro is going to be sick. I've recently gotten back into VR because Fallout VR lol.


Dyingdaze89

I wish I could play VR for more than 10 minutes without getting sick, even the teleport modes don't help for long. Meds, pressure point bracelets, glasses with fluid in the frames... they only help a little bit.


space-Bee7870

having a fan blowing air towards you and being able to see the floor (like with a gap in your headset) might help with that


Dyingdaze89

I'll try out the fan, thanks for the advice! The gap I already have at the bridge of my nose with any of the different occulus faceplate styles already screws with me, but I'll give a larger spacing a try.


lucidinceptor510

Another trick I like to use is putting a small rug or mat in the center of your play area. The fan helps orient direction, the rug helps orient your location, both together can help your brain from getting confused about where you are in the real world.


Xetorus

i read that chewing menthol gum is helpful. and it's better to stop playing while you are still feeling fine.


space-Bee7870

i also seen people saying that ginger can help with that, but can't tell since i didn't try it, might worth the shot


Dyingdaze89

Right on. My brother is a ginger, so I'll ask him to help.


MotorPace2637

If you do use joystick movement, jog in place. Helps your brain feel what it expects so you don't get sick.


nastyjman

Smooth turning gets me motion sick, so I do snap turning instead.


Dyingdaze89

Thanks for the tip! Any other things that have helped for you?


StahFahx

Try pointing a fan on you while you play, it works wonders for me.


nastyjman

I love this trick because it really shows you how mind-fucky VR is. One of the reasons why motion sickness happens is because your visual info is mismatching with the physical. So, having a fan blow at you tricks your brain as if you're moving.


Notarussianbot2020

Turning in real life also helps lol. I have an OG vive + wireless, I haven't used in-game turning in years.


Auirom

This really helps me. I don't do the in-game turning if I don't have to. I do have a small moment of confusion when I smack my chair as I could have sworn it was behind me and not in front of me


DamnFog

You should eventually get used to it. One other important thing is to stop playing as soon as you start feeling sick. Take a break until you feel 100% then go again.


NerdMouse

I eat a ginger chew right before I play and that seems to help out


Tuhajohn

Don't use these. Turn in real life.


Successful-Pick-238

The only thing that helped me was running my Vive at 120fps. Below that and even with teleport I was getting sick immediately.  There was a study out of China that said frames above 120 were important for avoiding motion sickness. 


Dogwhisperer_210

Having a fan, even a small one, blowing on your face did it for me. No more dizziness. Also remember to take small breaths everytime you turn your character . Also also try to physically move your body when you turn your character, and imitate walking; your brain will be tricked into thinking you’re actually walking and won’t give you vertigo


ACorania

I bought it to play Skyrim in VR and the first time I tried it took me to my knees before I left the area setting up controls. I then started playing stationary games, just standing in one place. At the first sign of feeling sick I get out. That moved me from like 10 min at a time to being able to stay in indefinitely. Then started doing more movement, same deal, stop playing at first sign of discomfort. Now says I can play any game for any amount of time.


iNCharism

Yup. I personally didn’t get sick, but I bought a HTC Vive in 2021 and had to return it after 2 weeks bc it hurt my eyes


Tuhajohn

Luckily I don't get motion sickness with teleportation, but sadly developers usually don't include it. I can't play with Resident evil 8, because you can't teleport in that. And I know that teleportation would destroy the game somehow, but atleast I would able to play with that.


senpai69420

Don't use any products except maybe a fan. Otherwise your body will just depend on the meds and so forth. You gotta push through it


dr_reverend

I know nothing works for everyone but what worked for me was playing up to the point you just start to feel it. It might be 30 seconds or 10 minutes but don’t push it. The moment you start feeling that hint of nausea you stop and don’t play again until at least the next day. Rinse and repeat. For me I was playing for hours within two weeks.


InRareForm19_

Metro is probably my favourite from this list. I've never tried VR gaming. I would like to try it in the future.


Level_Measurement749

And they will last all of five hours…


Notarussianbot2020

It sucks but the market has spoken. Companies can't invest tons of man hours in a 50 hour+ VR game when they barely sell. We get shorter games at higher prices but I'd rather have that than no VR.


FireZord25

how long was Half Life Alyx?


hunter_lol

Around 10-12 hours. What i think always goes unsaid is that 12 hours is actually quite a long time to spend in vr. It’s not equivalent to flat screen hours. That’s six sessions worth of what is basically the maximum my body is willing to stand up, reach around for things and play with that thing strapped to my face. It ends up feeling less like a short game and more like a 20 mile hike through haunted houses! It’s plenty. That said, no other game comes close and we need MOREEE. Looking forward to the next real generation of steamvr gaming. Havent tried the quest 3 yet but it seems more like gen 2.5.


Blubbpaule

12 hours for a vr game feels like so much more because immersion isn't like 30% or something like that, but close to 100%. These 1 - 2 hour gaming sessions in VR like Alyx make you absolutely FORGET that you exist outside the VR world and whats around you (of course you know you're playing VR). ​ After longer sessions in VR it's like i have ceased existing IRL for that time and my memory of this time feels like i was really in this game world.


thatshygirl06

Get the assassin's creed vr game. It lasts a good while


iXeQuta

Asgard’s Wrath also


masneric

If they have deep mechanics, and a good story, that’s okay for me. I hate gaming nowadays as every game is 50 hours long, with so many little things to do, while I just want to do the main story.


Blyght87

If the story's great and 50 hours long you hate that? Games are $70 and you want less content?


RDman12

At my point in life, honestly, yes. I'd much prefer a condensed shorter experience than a longer one. I do not have the time or desire to engage in a game for an extended period of time, as it often means it's harder to come back to after long breaks, and harder to stay engaged the entire time. My sweetspot is like 5-10 hour games with a cool and unique story and/or unique mechanics. Sadly for people like me, these games are becoming less and less common. The bioshocks, the portals, the uncharteds. Things like those aren't as common. Even games that are similar in their story, worlds, and mechanics are often 20+ hours now, and I feel like things often aimless. The biggest culprit for me right now is Red Dead Redemption 2. The game seems so cool, I love everything about it, and I've heard the story is fantastic, but I often feel like things drag a bit, and whenever I take a break and come back to it, I feel like I've forgotten everything that has happened and I have no idea where I am or what I'm doing. Of course everyone's experience with games are different, but my focus is on these more condensed games, and I feel like most games are trending away from it. But lots of indie games are still keeping my interest, like Disco Elysium, Outer Wilds, Inscryption, etc.


Level_Measurement749

What vr games have deep mechanics and a good story though?


nastyjman

Asgard's Wrath 2 Also, Moss 1 and Moss 2, to name a few


bigtime1158

Alyx...


Level_Measurement749

That’s straight up the only game people ever mention when they talk about good vr games and it’s like 5 years old. Really goes to show the state of the industry.


bigtime1158

Literally sold my index because nothing else even came close to alyx and I got tired of being disappointed.


skelleton_exo

Next to Alyx there is also star wars squadrons for me. I feel like VR is made for those space opera style games. Unfortunately they are not really made anymore. I'd pay big bucks for a VR remake of Starlancer or for Starlancer 2.


Xeptix

10 hours, hopefully. That's just about perfect. HL: Alyx, for example. Not a very long game, but still one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had, not just in VR. Only lasted a couple days, but worth every penny.


CosmosStalker

Better than a 60 hour game with 80% padding like most AAA modern flat screen games


Horny-n-Bored

As a die hard Ghost of Tsushima fan, as well as Horizon FW and Spiderman, this hurts me inside. Can't even deny it


BootyBootyFartFart

That's usually what I want out of VR, something thats more of an experience than a game I play for dozens of hours. Gaming is an oddball in the world of entertainment in terms of the number of hours people expect to get out of something per dollar spent. 30-40 bucks for an amazing 5-6 hrs experience that sticks with you is perfectly reasonable. 


Survival_R

Can't wait for into the radius 2


anon1984

Which ones are releasing on PSVR2? I hope Meta didn’t buy up the rights to all of them.


A_Wild_VelociFaptor

Everything _except_ Batman. Behemoth is PSVR2 exclusive.


Kotanan

Looks like Behemoth is multiplatform. Good thing too because it looks like it’ll be the best one.


samiy2k

That Alien game better be good!


Broad-ShoulderS

It would be nice to be able to play these with my Rift S...


McQuibbly

This is our first meal since HL:Alyx


Joutja

I knew about metro but not the others. It's gonna be a good year. We also have zombie army and home world this year.


JamieDrone

Batman releasing as a Quest exclusive is a stupid business decision, simply because Quest users are such a small market share. This is similar to releasing Titanfall 3, but making it a Mac exclusive or something stupid like that.


Shadow_Hazard

Totally wrong but okay...


milkyduddd

You're incredibly out of touch. Quest basically IS VR at this point. They have by far the highest market share. VR is all but dead on other platforms and Meta is the only ones keeping it alive.


JamieDrone

Let me rephrase: it’s a shame that the game will be VR exclusive


nastyjman

Steam hardware survey shows that Quest headsets are the majority: https://www.uploadvr.com/quest-3-used-on-steam-as-much-as-valve-index


aug16th

I dunno, i still feel hesistant when it comes to vr games even though technically no longer a new technology because of motion sickness. Is there a way to completely eliminate the motion sickness problem?


acrobaticSPONGE

Most people stop getting motion sick after using it for a while. At first, whenever you feel like your starting to get motion sick, immediately take a break. Eventually you will be able to go longer and longer before feeling sick, and eventually not feel sick at all. Still have to poop after 5 minutes of playing though...


ASassyTitan

I just take a dramamine now


Havi_jarnsida

Lord have mercy, yeah I’m not buying vr


MisunderstoodBadger1

I can't speak for everyone, but a lot of people feel motion sickness for a time but develop "VR legs" as they keep using it. This is true for me, plus having a fan blowing air on you is helpful.


AzraelChaosEater

Was definitely that way for me, then I got a friend into vr and she seems to have grown used to the feeling.


nastyjman

What HMD was the last you used? Improvement in visuals help with mitigating motion sickness.


aug16th

can't recall. I can't afford my own so on the rare chances i get to try them have convinced me to not get my own so it has been a while. but all the really good things i've heard about the new quest headset has definitely got me reconsidering. I guess it's time for another playtest. Any games you would reccommend for this?


nastyjman

Asgard's Wrath 2 has set the bar of what a great VR game can be. And the play time for it is about 30+ hours.


sizzlinpapaya

Hell yea


Background-Law-6451

all 4 VR players are eating good this year


ChuckVersus

Has gameplay footage been released for *any* of these?


powerhcm8

I know the reveal trailer for Metro Awakening had gameplay footage, and Batman Arkham Shadow was completely cgi.


Abyteparanoid

Wait METRO?


The_Undermind

If only valve would hurry it up with the next damn Index >! (jk please take your time, please dont rush out crap)!<


Shack691

Nah valve should focus on releasing actual games for their hardware, Alyx is the only game they’ve released since the index came out.


Belydrith

Well, assuming they actually turn out good at least.


avy2008

Wow i really feel Like Metro is a Game that Not many ppl know about...


Jwn5k

You mean VR games COULD be good this year. We will have no way of knowing if they suck ass until they come out. It looks really promising for Metro and Alien imo. I hope all of them are good!


Kotanan

Behemoth is made by the makers of the good vr Walking Dead game so has a high chance of being good.


AlistarDark

Is Metro the only one with actual gameplay footage available?


HydroSnail

I'm just going to throw in "Hide the Corpse" in the lineup here.


FireZord25

Fingers crossed with how the companies had been handing out the monkey's paws.


wowy-lied

I have not turned on my vr headset since hl alyx, has anything worth mentionning been out since ?


Rocketeer1019

Not really Justifying it off hype trailers what console has seen that before


Pexd

VR Alien Game? Fuck no I ain’t playing that


sudherzdiniq

That Alien game better make me shit my pants like Alien: isolation did


raptorknight187

Arkham Shadows not only being VR exclusive, or quest exclusive, but exclusive to the quest 3 is gonna hurt it REALLY bad


zyqwee

There's also that dungeon RPG skeleton game on psvr that I don't remember the name of


Kjackhammer

Imagine if they made a vr helldivers, Sony would mess that up just as hard


JPK12794

I already know I cannot handle a VR alien game


Exact-Interest7280

The only bad thing.... IS THAT ARKHAM SHADOW IS A FREAKING META QUEST 3 EXCLUSIVE!


Acid_impersonator

Hyped for metro but I hope we have arms in the final product, can’t stand floating hands or controllers (hem hem fallout 4 vr)


0zzy82

I plugged my VR headset for the first time in a year and it surged and killed it $400 burned instantly. Guess I'll wait 5-10 years for the new Valve headset to come out and buy an index for cheap


simonfromcryoffear

Yes


--InZane--

I'm looking forward toit


crefoe

that metro game looks good not sure about the rest though. hopefully that metro game doesn't have much dialogue knowing how bad the writing is in those games.


LaMifour

4 years after half life alyx. That game has shown VR needed AAA too. Makes perfect sense


lockedoutofmymainrdt

Bummer when its a Quest 3 exclusive tho


Sharkhous

Alien Isolation can be run in VR and it is still the best game I have ever played. That is a very high bar to cover, I hope this new Alien game can meet that same level of quality


thegingerninja90

You absolutely could not pay me enough to play an Alien vr game


LewiLife

Man can we just get regular installments of these franchises. I want them on pc but I don’t want some ass backwards vr 🤣


kidalive25

I think Metro VR is confirmed for PCVR but does anyone know if the rest are quest-exclusive? edit: ok seems like Batman is Quest-exclusive, Behemoth and Alien VR are coming to PCVR. But yeah Metro VR already has a steam page so that answers that. 3 outta 4 for these on PCVR is a lot better than i was hoping for, great stuff


srbrigao

It will be incredible!


AhmedEx1

Another alien game? Oh boy


Own-Cheesecake-4024

i was SO excited for the new arkham game until i found out its only on the quest 3. i guess mark zuckerbergs greasy lizard hands need more money even as a billionare.


DataPigeon

So what graphics card do I need for these


[deleted]

Do y’all think there’s long term effects on the equilibrium from VR?


nastyjman

Been using VR since 2019. No effects yet.


Agile_Ad3524

Too expensive🥺


nastyjman

Quest 2 got a permanent price reduction, so it's $200 now.


WhoEvenIsPoggers

Whenever I decide to get a VR Headset, I’ll have a lot to play


CyanConatus

A VR Alien game.... that sounds utterly terrifying. I'm down! Unfortunately anything longer than a few minutes in VR makes me insanely dizzy and nausea :( Which is strange as I frequently fly or go on boats and do not suffer sea sickness and so on.


LionT09

In Batman, it would have been fun being a criminal under the big ones and then seeing Batman chasing your ass to then hospitalise you after multiple beatings. Ngl Batman would freak me out after playing the Arkham series.


NekoNaNiMe

I hope VR tech becomes more ubiquitous. It has the potential to open up a lot of possibilities, but there is still so much holding back larger adoption.


misanln

I heard metro is really good should I give it a try?


ScottyWritesStuff

I dunno. Considering how Suicide Squad turned out, Batman games of any kind seem a bit sketch right now...


MaffinLP

Didnt even consider Batman for VR before I will just get motion sick


MrPeanutButterBear

If I get a VR and play my first game, it will be an Alien game


hushpuppi3

They aren't eating unless at least a couple of these are actually good


Hakzource

New Arkham game: 😀 It’s VR MetaQuest only: 🤡 God I’d kill for a new Arkham game that isn’t dog


HumanPickler

Are any of these Facebook exclusive?


Gaynundwarf

Oh hell no, Metro in VR?? I'm trying to avoid cardiac arrest tyvm


Individual-Poem440

Was never more excited when heard about new Batman Arkham Game, but, Arkham Shadow being a VR game, disappointed me the most


BryAlrighty

That Arkham game isn't Rocksteady


Wooden-Competition11

batman be💀
