Someone suggested that I try playing Subnautica, and knowing nothing about it, I looked it up and immediately imagined what it would be like in VR.
Itās purestrain āHoly shit scary oceanā in game form, and I think if I played it in VR and saw one of the giant leviathans, I would immediately die.
I never got No Manās Sky, but as soon as they release the VR expansion for it hopefully this summer, I canāt wait to try that.
Not quite the same as Subnautica, but close.
I have one in my house. Distressingly it was delivered last Thursday 30 minutes before I had to leave for the UK Games Expo. For the record, itās possible to set one up while sat in the passenger seat of a car traveling down the M6 if you have an abundance of mobile data.
Iāve downloaded a few bits and bobs and just using the interface etc. is very impressive. Iām hoping to make time this evening to have a proper play.
I own a VR capable PC, but for me the ability to play in the one room in the house thatās large enough without dragging my computer in there feels worth the hit in graphical fidelity. Itās the first VR device I feel Iām realistically likely to use in my current living situation.

Ah, baseball.
Despite the name, this has nothing to do with Elon Musk or his companies.
I just hope he doesnāt sue for trademark infringement or whatever.
So, Pixel Ripped is a game that completely flew under my radar two years ago. Itās a weird meta-VR experience where youāre playing a console and its surrounding outside world simultaneously.

Now the sequel is out.
How did I also miss this?
Look Ye Mighty:
Muse made an entire album and arena tour with VR as the main inspirationā¦ and soon the circle will be complete:
Iām mad. So is the entire VR developer community.
This is not going well for Facebook. It might literally drive Oculus out of the market.
One of the biggest player demographics - younger tweens - donāt even have Facebook accounts. The other big demographic is wealthy older PC gamers who tend not to overlap much with the Facebook demo.
The dev community is going nuts. People are already dropping plans to support Oculus directly for future games.
Farewell, Oculus.
Weāre talking about all the awful Oculus news tonight among other things.
Napster of all things is going into VR.
