The Soviet VR Game Problem - Convrgence
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 май 2024
- Convrgence (if you couldn't tell) is a VR extraction shooter I think. It's kind of like if Into the Radius and Tarkov had a baby. But despite spelling it's name CONVRGENCE it's actually really beautifully understated. It's the dark grimy post cold war soviet loot hoarding gameplay that is so popular right now but just in VR with amazing graphics. Which confuses me because I want this to be my go to spooky soviet VR game now even though Into the Radius is much bigger and more open world. My smooth brain hurts.

6:32 "Into the 2 radius: Diameter" I choked on my drink so bad I almost died. Poetry
That was possibly the funniest moment for me in all of Habie's hilarity.
and the third game is gonna be called Into the Radius 3: Circumference
@@allpixelsmatter5471 or rather, "Radius π: Circumference"!
@@Catalysten ok that was a good one way better then mine lol
I was literally about to post the exact same comment lmao
Can’t recognize soap? Habie has finally become a true gamer.
I think it might get a little confusing after playing a game with a dude called soap (as the main protagonist as well)
R.I.P paradox of hope
was pretty dirty what the Metro publisher did to it, but it makes since with them releasing a Metro VR game soon. will be funny if the VR game made by an entire studio is worse than a fan game made by one guy tho
@@HickieyFS so, competitor was removed
@@jedizhawk If you can call a fan project made by one guy a "competitor" then yeah. seems pretty telling that they're scared of "competing" with a one man team.
@@HickieyFS paradox of hope is almost a direct rip off of metro, it was not a surprise that it was striked. How is striking it "dirty"?
@@panu92 where you see a ripoff I see a passion project by a fan. The publisher clearly isn't confident in their upcoming product and saw a fan game made by one person as competition to their game being made by an entire studio.
it’s a soviet soap at 6:40 and 72% is it’s fatty acids contents. It was used for a laundry, but I heard stories about how good your hair can be washed which this
I've always been fascinated at how different isolated cultures addressed the same thing. So swing Soviet era normal stuff like that really makes me smile.
@@zendell37 that was like the default soviet brown soap that everyone had, and man did it stink. had this weird, bitter, chemical smell... if you know, you know. but yeah, it did the job.
man, your hair gets stiff af if you wash it with this 😄
although there is one more which is made from birch tar, it smells awesome
@@overmind06 "It did the job" - as good as cinder.
Today I learned Habie has never read Roadside Picnic.
Every game mentioned here is inspired by that book.
Except for metro which is based on the metro books...
@@CrocClaw Metro books came out in 2002 so its very possible that those books were also inspired by roadside picnic
@@CrocClaw Except the Metro books were inspired by Roadside Picnic :P
I had always heard that, and its definitely true. But aside from The Zone and its qualities, Roadside Picnic has very little to do with STALKER. Lol
@@CrocClaw the metro books not only are inspired by Roadside Picnic, they contain a few direct references to it.
Well, Stalker is actually based on a book called Roadside Picnic, though I've not gotten around to reading it yet, so I can't ACTUALLY confirm whether floating Russian objects came from there or not, but it's very possible!
Pretty much all of them are. Into the Radius' opening screen is a quote directly from the book.
Wow I never even knew this I have to check that book out
Well actually it was based on a soviet movie called Stalker, which in turn was based on Roadside Picnic
@@battlesheep2552 "Well actually 🤓"
Well in roadside picnic it'd be floating canadian objects
"guitars and gas masks" is the absolute best name for this genre of games, it needs to catch on
"Into the 2 radius, 2 radius 2 into" - Habie147 May 4th 2024
*In2
wow what a quote
Intwo the two two two
2:05 Read "Roadside Picnic." It's where all this kind of stuff originated. It's slow but really well written and honestly kinda whiplashed me from how good the characters were written. Fucking AMAZING ending. Props to Into The Raidius for the Quote from the book in the loading screen that got me to read it. "Happiness, free, for everyone, and let no one be forgotten."
Btw if you enjoyed that one and maybe some other books from Strugatskie brothers, try out a small indie title Final Station - came in for a zombie survival on a train, stayed for thick atmosphere of the entirety of Strugatskie books, there is even a HUGE monument to them in game, devs are clearly big fans
ah yes a sequel to one of my favorite vr games! "in 2 the 2 2, 2222"
Where is this in the video? I can find the other 2 references to the In2 the diameter/2, but not this one, and I'm getting the feeling it got cut or something.
Edit. I'm just deaf and blind i guess, it's 7:04
definitely my favorite full 8 minute video that i have watched all of
4:44 весенний кисель витаминизированный на натуральном экстракте (springtime jelly)
5:20 сахар (sugar)
5:30 порох "сокол" ("falcon" powder)
6:39 72% ГОСТ (Государственный Стандарт, State Standard. This is bar of laundry soap)
i laughed a little bit when he said that "гост" was rockt
Gaxap
cokoa! freakin cokoa!!!
GAKSAP, проиграл в голос
Kisel is not jelly though
I just... It's been a couple of years since i bought my Quest 2, and i was not early to that party. But i think there's still a categorical difference between people who have tried a VR game and gone from thinking "ey this feels a bit odd" to having their brain completely accept a new fictional reality, and then people who have not done any of that.
And there's just no way to bridge that gap with words. Someone has either done that, or they think it sounds fucking stupid.
It's so difficult to describe to people who haven't tried it. Having depth -perception means so much
I always forget when watching these videos that how i'm seeing this is very much not how Habie is seeing it - he's seeing it through his eyes, not his screen (I get that we're both seeing a screen through eyes, you get what I mean)
_Right?_ I've been struck by two things about VR:
1. Putting a bad game in VR doesn't stop it from being a bad game. This has burned me on a lot of flatscreen-to-VR adaptations.
2. The physical, _kinetic_ presence which a VR game entails really does make clearly appreciable storytelling magic out of what might be called the most understated text. This has sold me on a lot of VR games which I hadn't been expecting to enjoy at all.
Always a good day Habie uploads
Also can wait for Into the Radius two two two: Diameter
all 3 of the into the radius 2 jokes made me chuckle, thank you for the funnies, kind internet pig man
5:26 bro almost pinpointed my exact location in time
We, the human race, will never get enough of roaming a dystopian, upside-down, topsy-turvy Russian themed wasteland.
Cannot wait for Metro Awakening
Don't support greedy devs/publishers that abuse the copyright system to bully small indie teams.
@@BlackWolf9988 I mean.... the game litterally looks like metro and has most of it's mechanics, I think "abuse" could be wildely discussed here
@@verzocktes look at the early beta builds of metro 2033. They literally had stolen assets, weapons and sounds from stalker. The metro devs also worked in the stalker team before also had their first development experience working and selling a modded warcraft build. Its very hypocritical they copy right abused when their own past was arguably worse.
This is quite possibly the best video habie has ever made. Something’s about the humor and tone was just peak habie but also really entertaining. Bravo.
broo ive been playing this game all week, has a really good foundation and polish but has a long ways to go outside the main safe hub. the second area is nightmare fuel
Your videos always cheer me up man, thank you so much
Dang your subs are getting your subs are up there man!
So glad to make lunch to thus right now 🎉🎉
best time of my life is habie's videos, i dont think about anything else, i just get immersed in the commentary and the game he covers, gives me a break from real life
I love you content bro, thanks for making new vids every week
Due to our profile pictures, I feel like we are required to be rivals in someway.
@@TheFoolish_BearI completely agree
I cant wait for In 2 the 2 Radius: Diameter
Step 1: like. Step 2: watch.
Step 3: profit???
Step 3.5: fall asleep halfway through the video
Step 4: cheky breky
Everytime
nice release for my bday, thanks habie
happy birthday :)
Hello, as an integral part of the ConVRgence Discord, I want to say thank you for sharing this content 😊
There are a lot of VR games in this style:
Into the Radius
Into the Radius 2
Paradox of Hope
CONVRGENCE
Return to Kurgansk
Ab Aeterno
Z.O.N.A Project X VR
Z.O.N.A: Origin
Chernobyl VR Project
Chernobyl Again
Ghosts of Tabor
"In 2 the 2 Radius : Diameter" has to be the single funniest thing Habie has ever fuckin dropped. I laughed so hard my abs cramped. Shit caught me sideways lmao.
oh my god why is it not "into the diameter"
There's also a second, underground, area, which has some nightmarish stuff, and is pretty much the assets from the areas of the first game.
YOU'RE THE BEST HABIE ALL YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME THANK YOU FOR KEEPING US ENTERTAINED PIG MAN 😘
Love these videos
another 12am habie banger i presume (i wouldn't know haven't seen it yet)
it was
habie finally found new background music
Ghosts of Ratabor!!!!!!!! 🐀 ❤ 2:44
For those who don’t know: Paradox Of Hope got taken down because there is an official Metro VR in development and should be released sometime this year, so I imagine they didn’t want competition.
If it’s not as good as paradox I’m gonna be livid
Im really curious cause i could find nothing that say it was the metro publisher that sent the cease and desist could someone send me a link or something
@@corndogfilms I think whoever filed that is still anonymous, all I know is that the same devs who made Arizona Sunshine are the ones working on the new Metro VR.
@@MorkiMoo okay thanks
The Diameter joke was peak
i wish into the radius 2 was gonna be called into the diameter
I'm hyped for the officially licensed metro vr coming out later this year
Into the Radius 2? More like Into the Diameter gotem
That diameter joke was so good
"Into the diameter" has to be the title.
I don’t even watch the video I just skip to the atomic mirror brain section, it’s my favorite part
2 Radius 2 Into... damn, that one caught me off guard. My face hurts so much.
Thank you for your service good Sir. o7
I do not laugh out loud often but damn, This was such a great video.
This will be my first habie stream!
"Into the Taborius" is now the official genre title of this type of game
Babe wake up Habie uploaded ❤️
An absolute banger. Got some of the funniest jokes of his videos, which is a pretty high bar
Hearing Habi say Cheeki Breeki was a surprise, but a welcome one for sure.
Flipping love this game. Its got so much potential. Especially if he expands it into larger maps line in2 The (diameter/2).
I also can't wait for In 2 the Two Too:2, to.
God the interaction with doggy is so cute
Yay good job you did the mirror brains :)
Always watch Habie
The amount of ridiculous names for into the radius is amazing i almost died choking on my pizza
Ironic that they got a C&D from 4A when they themselves got sued by GSC when Metro 2033 was in development for its similarities to STALKER
Attempt 3 of getting the lord of atomic mirror brains to try war of wizards. Side note, I really love your vids Habie!
I want to see a Habie book report on Roadside Picnic
“into the 2 radius: diameter” made me chuckle a lot lol
i was really liking the names for the game he came up with before the stroke
I'm glad the brain yelling is back
They are making a VR metro game titled "metro awakening", I am so excited for it.
gaxap lol. It's sahar aka sugar.
the thing at 4:44 is kissel, or a powder of it that you mix hot water into. It's a kind of gello-liquid dessert that can be served cold as a drink or hot with porridge for example.
I'm so hyped for Itr 2 🔥
I must've bought Paradox of hope one week before it got DMCA'd, it was a VERY good metroesque experience, I want to pick this up as well, but I still need to finish/start into the radius. One day, when I can walk properly again.
Well, title makes sense after your description
Diameter got me full on laughing. good one
Habie channeling his inner Ocelot
Yes! The return of the Atomic Mirror Brains! It just didn't feel right without them.
As others have mentioned its Roadside Picknic and then later the Soviet era sci-fi film literally named STALKER. They were honest so influentential on russian sci-fi that trying to claim those settings seems almost like trying to claim robots or andriods to a degree.
Into the 2 Radius 2 into.... made me chuckle
R.I.P Habie Fly High I'll Never Forgive Larry the Man Who Shot Him...
"Into the 2 radius. 2 radius 2 into" xD
habie crystal hunt for blade and sorcery is gonna come out soon
Whats a minor detail is the guns "rattle" like they do in most other games when you aim.
Its nice to have the little mechanical sounds be heard when I do the aiming.
I felt so bad for the dev when Paradox of Hope had to be scrapped. Honestly, I wonder if they've considered a Quest port. The graphics, while nice, look like a standalone version could be possible (both Into the Radius games are also on Quest).
I have no stake in it either way, I'm just pulling for the dev to do well and having the game in a 20 million+ user ecosystem couldn't hurt.
Idk, the dev definitely copies a lot from other games. Not always bad but that is why this "review" is funny.
@@randilldoI mean most modern fps ripped off some pretty big mechanics from half life. It's basically it's own genre at this point. Post apocalypse looter shooter.
Im tardy to the party. Why was the game scrapped?
@@jayl5032 the devs of Metro said it was too close to their IPs. They threatened litigation and then the small dev threw in the towel.
@@randilldo Oh that sucks ass. It doesn't even resemble Metro! If anything it more closely resembles the other games Habie mentioned.
Bruh I thought that was a Tie Fighter in the thumbnail LMAO
5:45 "12 shots 🔄🔃↪️↩️🔄🔃
This time I have 12 shots"
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!
This guy is legit funny. Love it.
*This has to come to Quest 3. Sucks that there is no news of a port coming.*
My man didn't even go into the tunnels. That's like, the best part of the game
I hope the mirror brains never stop
Hey I'm glad instead of saying it's Salvador-Dali-like that you switched it up to be Daliesque 😉
Another banger Habie ❤
i ate chipotle while watching this papa habie
"I'm not a VR RUclipsr"
*Proceeds to use only the VR counterparts of flatscreen games as video examples*
You've cheeked your last breek comrade
Can't wait for the sequel, In2 the 2 2
Are you aware there's another map you can go to? Or were you just too scared?
Rip metro vr (paradox of hope) 😢 you will be missed
this looks so similar to into the radius... they must be using a lot of similar plug ins or systems... the UI for grabbing items looks similar, the mounting and cleaning of guns is almost 1:1, and the atmosphere looks almost identical. you could splice this and into the radius footage and most people probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference. but that is a really cool idea for a game, and i hope they can flesh it out into a unique experience that lives alongside into the radius!
The full version of the Stalker movie by Andrey Tarkovsky has been uploaded to YT if you search for it
Nono, what you want its STALKER in VR, we gonna get it someday i swear
When timeless spun the revolver, it was cool. When Habie spun the revolver, it was transcendent. 5:45
i love watching your videos is very funny
GOOD WORK COMRADE!
I like to think of games like this as 'Stalkerlikes' since that's where the trend really started, and where most of the games in that 'genre' pull inspiration from.
I was convinced the title was a typo lol
