@Zuljaras I don't have a PC eo unofficial VR mods are off the table for me, but I can say RE7 is one of the best VR experiences I've had and I hope you ENJOY!
I'm playing RE2R flat rn and my god that also sounds incredible for VR.
@Gryffin Yes, it intuits how they sound the way Microsoft Sam used to do back in 2005 (though I'm sure some extra work has to go into fixing up digitized voices because it's harder to get english pronunciation to work than japanese) Sometimes it gets those pronunciations wrong, which is why in the "make a mii" section, there is a separate section for "how do you pronounce this name." So, the other day I was making Guy Fieri on 3DS and I had to enter his name pronunciation as "Guy Fee Yair Ee" or else it said it kinda like "Fury" I hope that answers your question, let me know if I misunderstood.
Oh my god, I remember when I picked up the Mario Kart World game, for the Nintendo Switch 2 system, I was shocked when the game actually let me drift... it's like, how did it know I wanted to do that?
I like the accessibility options because I could just choose not to use them. I am playing on Easy mode, don't come at me-I have very little time with my precious Switch. There are also people who like to play interactive movies aith their friends, and these options make the game more watchable for them. Net positive.
@Gryffin Digitized voices are not made with AI. If you ever played one of those retro 90s arcade machines like Berserk with the computer voices, it's basically that
I'm more excited for this game than I was for DK Bananza. The original released right before a big summer break and my sisters and I made an island full of all our friends, wackjobs like reggie fils-a-mech, and copyrighted characters. We spent hours on each of our turns and I was always excited to come back and see what kinda weird garbo my siblings made. I love the new customization options and I think my partner and I are gonna play this together, add our coworkers, family, friends, cats, etc and hopefully make them sing wack-ass songs if those make a return.
I just finished Alien: Rogue Incursion, the first big-girl game I played on PSVR2, and I finally beat Arizona Sunshine which was a fun li'l arcadey romp in comparison. Next up, I think I'm going to do either REVillage or Madison VR. Kinda scared to try either one. Gonna need fresh britches on standby
I already own FFVII (PS1) on the PS Store but my save file is stuck on PS4. I think this will be good for me to start over, since I had only just left Midgar.
I'm glad gyro is included as a baseline. I replayed RE7 (easy mode) in VR recently which is like the simplest gyro in the world, and that stupid chainsaw battle still gets me every time... I guess playing games your whole life doesn't make you a pro gamer ahah
"So, were their plans to make this happen, and if so, who could have got in the way?"
"So, were ***there*** plans to make this happen, and if so, who could have got in the way?"
I played Despote in one sitting yesterday, incredible short game that reminded me more than a bit of Cosmic Top Secret. Now I'm loading up my PS5 as my lovely partner bought me a PSVR2 for the holidays, and while we wait for it to come in, I'm playing Metro: Last Light and Yakuza Kiwami 2.
I am still wanting to pick up the Switch version of Witcher 3 so I can replay it portably (and finally finish the DLCs), but my god I would kill to see it come to Switch 2
I loved the other Wolfenstein games!! The reboot came out a while before DOOM 2016 and that was the first time I remember thinking Boomer Shooters were making a comeback. It combined the things I loved about old school (fast movement, picking up lots of armor/health/unique weapons, one-liner-spoutin' protagonist) with the best things about current shooters (linear ongoing world without level breaks, lots of detail, cinematic cutscenes, crouch-cover, stealth options) I am so excited to play Indiana Jones and I'll gladly support anything this team puts their name behind.
This makes sense. Resident Evil 7 hinted at a world outside; there was a cop just doing his job in the first few hours so I'm excited to see the world of Resident Evil a little differently in this game
I noticed it hardddd and it stressed me outtt lol. As a kid I was always fidgeting with gameboy carts and I would kinda hold them and roll them in my hand, study the art and the build of the carts; even though we were in the PS2 generation when I was at that age, I feel like I know the GB era as if I lived through it... I just got my GB and SNES games from the pawn shop instead of the big box store.
Thanks, this was genuinely one of the best and most thought-provoking articles on this website of the last year. It'll forever change how I look at my wishlist and I hope you are proud of it, Omar.
@topher6490 That's so so valid. I was pleasantly surprised to see your comment end in a subversive way. I think of all the times people said "come on maybe you didn't like Dark Souls but Bloodborne is gonna be different" or "You don't like metroidvanias but Hollow Knight is gonna be different" only to boot em up and feel exactly the way I knew I'd feel at the boot. We don't have time nor the funds in life to play everything that's "must play." Go you.
This, I believe, is a more balanced take on AI... Nobody gets their artwork stolen, no artists are out of jobs, there may be less stress and crunch imposed on the people who make the games we love, and hey, I may be getting greedy, but if it means we can feasibly get another 3 Professor Layton games this generation, like on DS and 3DS, it will make me one very happy cookie.
Thanks to Jacob Geller's most recent "backlog" video, I may now be playing "VA-11 HALL-A" around this time of year every christmas or every other christmas. It takes place from december 12-Jan 1st so it could be fun to revisit sometimes. It's the perfect chill atmosphere
Layers of Fear Remake was one of the first games I played on PS5 and it looked awesome, but I'd already played the original and the VR version of the painter's story, so it felt very much like "why am I replaying this?" I think if y'all want to experience this haunted house simulator in its best environment, play it in VR as the idea of jumpscares happening directly to YOU is a decent replacement for a sense of danger to the protagonist. There are some points I was cowering in fear or walking slowly to avoid falling from a large height. Instead of hp damage, you are threatened with psychological damage.
(In before someone comes here to say this game "is not my cup of tea" 😉)
Oh my goodness, I saw this at The Game Awards. I'm not big into soc- ahem I'm not big into footie but I am HUGE into short games with heart and lovely art styles. Definitely giving it a shot
@mlt @SpecialT I believe a "Dad game" is a game about an adult man taking care of a young kid throughout the course of a game. Dad of War, Heavy Rain, The Dad of Us, Bioshock Infinite, The Walking Dad. All games about older guy dad-ing a young person.
My partner is going to love this. I bought Resident Evil 4 for them and now their Tiktok is littered with Leon thirst traps 🫠 Highkey I get it. We both screamed when we saw him in the trailer
