Great show chaps! We need more Ruuts beard tips!

[@GreyMatterShades]

Wish I could've stuck around for the whole show.
Totally agree regarding PSVR 2 needing a price cut AND a big game announcement at the same time. One or the other wouldn't be enough to make a significant difference.
Firmament looks pretty cool. Hopefully the port is good and it sells well. I have a feeling the PSVR 2 port of Riven will depend on Firmament at least selling decently, and I REALLY want to play Riven in VR.

[@mamefan]

Dark Frequencies was the show, Ruuts. I used to like arguing in the comments.

[@chippin32]

The Astro bot announcement is going to be pivotal to psvr2 to put it mildly

[@PrenticeSummerscales]

There's one small issue with the theory that the hooplah over the Astro Bot rumour is just down to a non-native speaker's phrasing in English: bill-bil-kun didn't post in English, they posted in French. The English quote doing the rounds is a translation of the original French post, which asserted that Astro Bot will be a flat game.

[@thatdankcheese]

I agree. If this new AstroBot game doesn't come to PSVR2 and is flat only, then Sony really doesn't care about the PSVR2

[@BaxornVR]

We already have building blocks of AI with things like Mantella for Skyrim/Fallout. We have AI infused games like Origins. There is the start of stuff out thier

[@Jdevil21]

That’s weird. I played through bone works whole champagne on bone labs like 8 months ago. It was a mod then. Wonder if this is just another version of that

[@rickaron7593]

Here's the math astrobot 2 not being in vr = psvr2 being in the direction of the vita

[@emilybaxterthecartoonywitc1805]

Hey Wes, with the company working on bringing flat to vr, has there been any talk of bringing Wreckfest to vr? I think it would be great in vr. As a vet I can tell you point blank that we shouldn't have gone into Iraq the 2nd time. I was in the first 1, and there was a reason we didn't occupy. If Jr had read his dad's memoirs he would know what a F up that was. As far as Astro Bot, I agree that it should be in vr, because many psvr2 owners have been clamoring for it. I'm not one of them, but Astro Bot will not move the needle on headset sales. Only heavy hitters like GTA will. Most gamers aren't interested in all the cutsey kiddie stuff and if they are, they're fine with flat gaming. If Sony does make the headset pcvr compatible, many will buy it, but those are the ones who will be playing sim racing, military flight sim, Phasmophobia ect. You know, bring the real in virtual reality

[@carlparker7588]

Thats right ruutz vr games need to be vrified! Why should we be forced to basically play flat games with a monitor on our face, vr doesnt just mean your inside a game, it is interacting with things as if in reality, that is the whole point not just being inside a flat game

[@TheVirtualrealitygamer]

I agree with Reuts about the genre of the big titles, horizon had the potential but they went a different direction.
They need a Cod, last of us, ghost of tsushima, spiderman to release with VR.
Wes makes a good point about it's culture with flat gamers, they've got into the habit of a controller and the mechanics.
I disagree about straight porting flat games, the reason why we all love VR is the VR aspects, it's not just being in the world.
We want to pull in the opposite direction not towards flat gaming. In time, it will become the most popular way to play.

[@gamecatbehemoth]

As far as what usa had done,and i retired from the navy,i would say if u deal with the devil u get the horns.js

[@mamefan]

Firmament isn't good on PCVR. I quit, and I don't usually quit.

[@gamecatbehemoth]

Ahhh nooooo,fml
