If you want something more action packed, try GhostRunner VR mod, there’s a lack of motion controls of course, but a AAA feel of Cyberpunk Ninja is definitely there. Wish this game had an instant kill melee finishers tho.
The voice acting is fine, the parkour looks good. The combat could do with some work like manual reloads and enemy variations but i assume that will come later
the full body IK looks like it'll need some work, you can very easily tell its still the floating arms but with a slapped on forearms because the hand is turning at the start of the wrist bone, not the end of it, especially when you twist your hand at an angle, hope they completely re-do the body
Think the voice overs need work but the game looks really fun to play when you get into the flow, only thing I want to see is manual reloads, you give me a gun in VR, I just have to be able to reload it myself, could even be a gameplay mechanic, chuck a empty magazine to distract an enemie to sneak past them.
Thank you! The voice lines in this build are placeholders voiced by AI. We're working with professional actors, and these lines will of course be replaced before release :) As for manual reloading, we've been getting a lot of requests for that lately. The game is fast-paced and has a lot of movement, so it was designed to put you into a flow state (like you mentioned) with a less stressful reloading system. But we appreciate the request and are likely to add manual reloading as an alternative setting shortly post-launch.
Well I mean for place holder voice lines there pretty good for being AI, they really didn't sound like it which is pretty impressive. And that's cool you'll add manual reloads post launch as an option, for a game like this I can understand if it's not added but it would be a nice added bit of challenge.
Do the enemies just go limp when you grab them? That guy you threw off the roof had no reaction to being flung to his doom beyond a tiny yelp when he hit the ground 😂
I really enjoy the movement in STRIDE, and this looks great. Been wishing for a Mirror's Edge VR for ages... I really hope they can capture that magic. This demo still seems more gunplay-heavy than I'd like - maybe it'll be enjoyable, but I loved Mirror's Edge's ethos of any encounter can be completed without any shooting. Also, you're downplaying how garbo that voice acting is, holy shit. Hopefully it's just AI-generated placeholder. At the very, VERY least maybe they'll make the AI not braindead for the final release. Got a lot on my wishlist here... please pull thru Joy Way
June 10, 2022? They were releasing trailers for the update even late last year. I bought it in December 2022 a day or few before they announced the delay in the update with a Steam News post.
IMO, the music should go hand in hand with the city's ambience. Or they should just leave the ambient sounds of the city and nothing else. That silly techno playing in the background completely kills the vibe.
looks like fun. even though its disappointing in some areas. a real lack of sound effects in some places seems immersion breaking. and the lack of a manual reload is really disappointing.
Imagine a mixed reality parkour game. You run around in the city and jump from building to building while shooting bad guys. And if you miss a jump, you die in real life too. Just like Zuckerberg said in that meme. Would'nt that be awesome.
I am late but you can just learn to parkour and buy airsoft guns. The same with stupid sword / saber games, just a few guys with sticks can do real life version of it...
I was very disappointed with STRIDE because it was just a timetrial type of game and the developer later focused too much on the multiplayer aspect. Good thing Joyway has now decided to make "Fates" available for free to Early Access buyers so I can get to our single player campaign after all. The AI seems to have some dropouts sometimes, is that correct? I hope it will be more attentive and aggressive in the final version. I'm also curious how the graphics will look like in the PCVR version. Good video, I'm always happy when a new one pops up in my feed.
I haven't played this game yet, but plan on getting it once on sale. I've seen a bit of the first 10-20 minutes of the game. I'd seen the first 'hacking' bit using the phone, and it reminds me of the Watch_Dogs series. Parkour, combat, and (probably a very tiny bit of) hacking. I'm super excited. I wished to see a WD game in VR, which obviously won't happen, after the Assassins Creed VR release and this is the closest and coolest thing to it.
its such a sad sight to see how with both stride games joy way basically shot themselves in the foot with both keeping the game alive/playable and updates and what despite the genre and games having so much potential. with both games now being some where in between crawling and being dead when it comes to both updates and the community.
@Virtual Insider From the bit of where you mentioned having bought the game between septermber 4th and june of 2022 I actually did in fact buy the original stride back on September 12 2020 but for some reason I still haven't gotten Stride fates for free.. I'd hate to have to buy the game if this is something that was supposed to happen.. smh.
I bought stride on oculus on 6 aug 2021. I know the content was thin but bought it to have a go and get the full campaign mode. Does the free version apply to oculus purchases swell as steam. great vid too.
Overall I liked the video, but the controversy always bugged me. They made that promise under the assumption that it was going to be a small thing, but ended up putting a lot more effort into it making it more polished and well rounded. I usually would have the back of the people but just this once I think they were in the right.
God this game looks so good, but yeah nah them voices gotta go I cant tell if thats AI or actual voice acting but tbh forget the story if its gonna sound like that
I have both stride games. If you're on the fence about it, i think the first one is significantly better. First of all, its half the price. Second the replayability is way better. I still choose to play the original 9 times out of 10 over fates. Its almost like they made Fates too realistic or something and the movement is really clunky.
The shadiness of Stride 1 isn't limited to PC VR, it was arguably worse on PSVR. At some point they pushed a content update to PC and raised the price of the game to reflect the additional content. They raise the price of the PSVR version the same amount, but never ported the new content to it. When asked about if/when any new content might be coming to the PSVR version, the devs said something like: We never said the PSVR version would be getting more content. That's months after the game was out, with many people buying it on the promise of later additions. For all their talents, Joyway is getting a well-earned reputation for doing wrong by their audience. As for Stride Fates, the gameplay does look fun, but the AI looks dumb as bricks, and what I've seen of the story seems poorly written and even more poorly performed. I'll keep an open mind, but I'll probably only pick it up if it reviews very well, and I'll take any promises of future content with extreme skepticism.
I just wish they had used less marketplace assets and sounds, the bullet collision sounds are the exact same from contractor's and there were some other models i noticed in the levels like planters and wooden arches. The sound is waht got me on my nerves though. Tired of seeing the same recycled garbage in 90% of all vr games.
What sucks is that this Free Key announcement wasnt done over Steam but over Discord. Its weird that you have to apply for a key anyway, just use the steam tools to do it automatically, but I guess so they wont need to give out a key to everyone because people will forget
No sound when you land after a grapple, NPC not facing you when talking to you lol, combat looks passable but nothing remarkable and pacing feels weird
So we're just out of luck if we bought it on the meta store? Thats weak. Lol Oh well. I'm looking forward to it, as long as the campaign isn't like 2 hours like I had heard.
Games like this are unacceptable in 2023. I'm sick of waiting for a great VR game. I bought the Rift S when it came out and the Quest 2 a year after it's release. After seeing what devs are capable of I'm selling them both and I'm quitting VR for the next 10 years. VR is not going anywhere.
It’s not like it’s wip game, totally not, totally not. It’s not like everything is what you use, the environment is important, it’s not like it’s a 5 hours game, it’s not like this take is disingenuous. Like you are, it’s not like that the q2 is a mobile headset, it’s not like the graphics are actually good, like are you really that stupid man? Like did your parents drop you down on your head 10th mess put u up for adoption and no one taken you? Hint: yes

I'm not sure I've even ever heard someone say Bonelab is a GOOD parkour game (myself included)
It's not, boneworks is better, trying to get over an edge in bonelab is a right pain in the ass
No way anyone has. BONELAB physics are good in some ways but the body physics are absolute ass...
Yes, the body in bonelab gets in the way, the body you have in boneworks is purely visual
It can be when you learn how the body works.
@@atomic... bonelab and boneworks have physical bodies. have you ever tried to step on a pile of dead nullbodies?

This is because the voices are just place holders until the final game comes out, joy way said that 10000000000000 times

@3:05 The preview build you got is Quest 2 but you are playing on PC. How does this work?
All games are made on PC anyway so its just visually how it will be on the quest but they can just create a build that works with PC headsets.
@@virtualinsider Sorry, I meant to ask: Are you running Quest game on PC via emulation or something? Or they provided another PC native build?
actually the voices in the demo where ai generated in the full game they will have actuell voice acting

I previously regretted getting the game on steam instead of oculus.
Now it turns out I made the right choice :)
I'm so glas this looks better than stride. huge step up
Where do I get the game if I bought the original between the given dates?
I bought stride on oculus on 6 aug 2021. I know the content was thin but bought it to have a go and get the full campaign mode. Does the free version apply to oculus purchases swell as steam. great vid too.
