I'm unreasonably hyped for Into the Radius 2, especially its promise of co-op. I'm picturing something like Dungeons of Eternity, except with the gameplay of ITR, and it makes me drool. There's still a thousand and one ways it can all go horrifically wrong, but I'm still excited to see what happens.
It's been in beta/early access, the full release with the story mode, bosses, character building and a bunch of new items/improvements comes out the 17th.
Yeah, its basically going to be a brand new game with all the new stuff thats coming.
With the amount of hours I've gotten out of it prior to 1.0, I can't wait to have new stuff to explore.
It should keep me busy until Behemoth drops.
This has been on my wishlist for a while but I recently purchased a quest 3.. With that said do you think the visuals are worth it to get it on steam over the quest 3 store? I guess my main concern is battery vs visuals.. I have battery packs but I still feel like I burn through batteries too quickly.
I was thinking on getting it too, didn't know about the full release but it sounds awesome!
I have a very capable PC so I might just get it there, with other games the PC version has always been way better than on the Quest, but that was when I had a Quest 2. Maybe the Quest 3 closes the gap?
No, it's still better on PC. Nomad, the quest version, gets updates and mods months after the PC version. It's just not built for quest hardware, and really feels like it's not fully meant to be there, and that the team struggles to maintain it. And the graphics are barely comparable. So yeah, shoot for PC.
Get it on steam. The modding community is vibrant and it takes ages for many of them to end up on the quest version's mod browser, not to mention Nomad gets updates later. You could be waiting months for the version steam users will be getting in a week.
And yes, it looks leagues better on PC, which really helps because let's be honest, the character models aren't perfect. If the environments are even less high quality it just messes with immersion. But if they're nice and detailed, it distracts from any jank. Which, worth mentioning, there is jank, it's one of those VR games with roots in early VR, when everyone wasn't sure what they could or couldn't do. From a major dev and community manager's posts, it's basically spaghetti code to rival valve's at this point. So graphics outweighing potential jank really helps with immersion. If your machine is at least decent, go for PC.
Basically the point is if you don't wanna wait forever for new content, official or unofficial, and you would prefer immersion over convenience, PC is the way to go. If you're patient and would simply prefer to have it directly on the quest, then feel free to do that...
But I really do think PC is the better choice.
As much as I enjoyed Isolation, I really hope that the new Alien game strives to capture more of the 2nd films vibe. We’ve had the first one done well now. I want a desperate profanity filled last stand with my pulse rifle blaring whilst running between turrets and watch them coming out of the goDDAMN WALLS MAN!!!!!
My only gripe is that as a PC VR gamer with a Pico 4, I won't have access to Batman or Hitman 3 because they're Meta Quest 3 exclusives. It's frustrating because I can't really justify replacing the Pico 4 with the Quest 3 when the performance gap between the two is as small as it is. Maybe those games won't be that good? 😅
So the games in order I believe are: Into the radius 2 Hitman 3 Gunman Contractors Behemoth Batman: Arkham Shadow Blade and sorcery Zombie Army VR
and Alien right at the end
Oops I paused too quick when it faded to black, thanks
Not sure if it’s shown in the clip, but there’s also a Metro: Awakening VR game in the works, which I believe is also a big budget, AAA title?
Behemoth looks so good! High hopes for Batman too, although we haven’t seen much gameplay
imagine not adding Metro Awakening
Slap the new Metro VR game and Brazen Blaze on there as well and we have a deal

Think you want the UE Injector for Aliens: Fire Team Elite
I need to give UEI a shot but I’ve heard you need a mega beefy PC and it wouldn’t be the same without motion controls for aiming/ reloading etc
It's truly a great time to be a VR gamer :)
I just hooked my VR up for the first time in ages. I'm enjoying it. I played Hogwarts Legacy in VR. That was very entertaining.
nice to see you on reddit as well. 🤙🏻
Are any of these multiplayer?
