I do think VR will become “the new way to game” eventually, kaenna. Traditional screen gaming will still be here, just like movies didn’t make books/radio/comics disappear, but the forefront will change. That said, that’ll happen long after VR finally hits the mainstream. First we’ll need to adapt to playing 3rd person in VR.

Here’s another…[Read more]

I can’t find the edit button anymore.

I forgot to mention this was shown off during (technically before) the Video Game Awards, AKA the Keighleys.

Shiiieeeet, yo! It’s about time I do some more writing. Been on an extended Thanksgiving vacation. I’ll catch up real soon.

Agreed, Rob. Death Standing would seem like a lock if it weren’t so early in development and a Sony exclusive. If it isn’t this year, a grand reveal would happen during the VGA in a future year.

VR games are certainly going to have a seat at the table for the first time in a big game award event. I wonder what they’ll name the category. With a…[Read more]

Right now I’m playing Pokemon Moon. I hadn’t played a mainline Pokemon game since Pokemon Yellow on the Game Boy Color (well, technically I played it on my GBA). I feel like I jumped back in on the perfect time with the perfect game to jump back in with.

I fully agree with your sentiments on SOMA. It’s like the developers weren’t confident in the…[Read more]

It seems the proper action to take, Rob, will be to wait for the second generation VR devices. Every device out to market now was conceived back before the FinFET revolution that happened in the first half of this year. Since then, a number of breakthroughs have happened that will make the older VR headsets obsolete. Last month Oculus released a…[Read more]

That’s exciting. What state are you flying to?

Hope you feel better.

Everyone’s got life stuff. No worries, mate.

That’s great news!

I don’t love the Quantic Dream style of gameplay, but I loved Until Dawn to bits. The story was just superb, and I love the way it played with your expectations along with mashing several horror tropes. This is a game you want to go into completely blind.

I still want to try The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. I’ve also heard plenty of “it’s good but…[Read more]

I loved Gone Home, The Stanley Parable, Beyond Eyes, and to a certain extent I even liked Proteus, Qora and Home. I’d play The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Firewatch, The Witness and The Beginner’s Guide without question. In fact, there aren’t many I wouldn’t try.

What I find unappealing about Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture is the narrative…[Read more]

I have nothing against walking simulators per se. However, I need them to have some meat on the bone. I headed to bed so I don’t have time to elaborate right now, but I don’t see myself playing this game even for free.
