Iron Man VR - Preview Thread [Spoiler: It's a full game and it's great]
- Thread starter ThisThingIsUseful
- Start date
They are reactions to the tendency of negative reactions about everything with VR on the title. Even psvr fans didn't like the trailer though.
I am a huge proponent of VR, myself. Thing is, it was a poor trailer, cut in a very limiting manner.
It a mediocre trailer at best, but they show it at the start of the show. That was a strong indication that they believe in this game.
This sounds much cooler than it initially looked. I was expecting something on rails, but those free-flight controls sound great.
Why is everyone claiming that Moves are some rare artifact from the past? Sony sells PS4 branded double packs specifically for PSVR. For some weird reason there's another pack in the US and it's $20 more expensive though.
Anyway, with Skyrim, Beat Saber, Superhot, this and creating in Dreams, I think the Move is thoroughly redeemed at this point. Without Move (or the applicable PC controllers) you're only getting half of what makes VR wonderful.

Yeah, didn't like the announcement trailer but had little hopes because the game is over two years in development.
lame that us pc players cant play all these "good" vr games? I mean what other way could it be?
Yep, tha was around VR launch. Sony needs to manufacture some more ASAP.
This and Blood & Truth are sounding better by the day.
Finally some games to take the VR platform to the next level

PC has a few, and they have better controllers... Honestly I think either camp should be happy for eachother, for now.
OP
OP
A lot of them wouldn't exist in this form if it weren't for Sony's publishing pipeline (developers from Insomniac said Sony has a very good one for the kind of game Spidey is and a publisher's influence is underrated).
I would have told people PSVR would be the best investment, power of the PC be damned, because Sony has a lot of publishing power and experience creating these games/making them a reality, whereas many of the other headsets don't have Worldwide Studios as Sony does.
Hell yeah. Those two have me seriously considering the platform for the first time.
Even if the announce trailer had been better, I still wouldn't have pegged this as a killer app. I like what I've read here.
Sounding surprisingly great. Can't wait.
Yeah Blood and Truth is looking awesome.
It seems the trailer from the State of Play event is a section of the game that is designed to be less free flowing. The preview in the Kotaku report states:
"This section was less free-flowing than the first part of the demo. I didn't feel quite as free to fly anywhere, but that was fine, because as the game kept me aloft I was able to focus on shooting at dozens of drone enemies swarming the plane. I was then able to fly toward the plane and, reaching my hands forward, help bend part of the its wings back into shape and yank open the doors to the landing gear. I felt like a super-hero, like I really was in an Iron Man suit. Not bad".

Well why didn't they make a better trailer then? The gifs and impressions sound great, the trailer felt like a super low-budget shovelware.
Eh. I'm very much still skeptical. Free flight is better than on rails, sure, but even then...this is supposed to be a full game? Doing what? Chasing down robots in the sky for 8 hours? The occasional "buzzing the tower" with an obstacle? I mean, ok, so, the flying feels great. What comes after that? How does it evolve as a game over the course of it's campaign? Does Iron Man get mechanically distinct weaponry? Do we ever fight as someone on the ground? What makes it go beyond "manuver in the sky to make this far away shape closer, and then point at it"? So far this strikes me as a blander, shallower version of something like Ace Combat. Nailing the flight is not a full game, it merely sets a benchmark of "not literally sickening".
Interesting! I will give your impressions very careful consideration.
I dont mind the spiderman game. I have a ps4. Im not going to buy 2 vr headsets tho
Nintendo also get an exclusive games. Squenix also got the license for multiplatform game.
Yes.
In the OP:
Huh?
Also in the OP:
Do you want them to detail the entire game for you in the first hands on session? lol
Iron Man (full 8-10 hour long VR game) strikes you as a blander shallower version of a game with only 3 PSVR mission?
Reading the OP is not as hard as it looks, try it next time.
If gifs on a flat screen looks this good, cant wait to see how good it will be with the headset on.
I did read the OP. I failed to see anything that addressed my concerns. For instance, the fact that we can tinker in his garage doesn't mean that they will be meaningful or interesting changes. For all we know, it could just be "set phaser power to 20". All I really got from any of the previews is that the flying is good, which is, again, the baseline here. I'd expect that from all these impressions, we'd get a little more to care about what we have to look forward to, and not just "trust me, you won't vomit; it feels great". That's like if Spider-Man previews touched on literally nothing else whatsoever besides swinging - no mission structure, no city layout stuff, nothing about the villains, nothing about the ground combat - and a few throwaway lines about "you can upgrade Spider-Man". Maybe try actually understanding my post next time; it's pretty straightforward.

I'll probably never get to play this, but I'm glad it isn't just a glorified lightgun-style game, like the trailer seemed to indicate.
Some of your questions are already answered in the OP. If you've failed to see anything useful then you're better of waiting for the next round of previews which will most likely tackle the additional gameplay features mentioned in the OP. The fact that you've already assumed said upgrades won't be meaningful makes me wonder why you even asked this question in the first place.
So assume the worst despite all the praise from those that have actually had a chance play it. That's one take.
No, none of my questions were answered in the OP. It doesn't detail anything, because none of these previews seem to detail anything beyond that the flying is great, which, again, fine, now go beyond that. Raising a hypothetical only goes to show how little is actually covered. I haven't seen or heard anything about this game that gives me confidence that it'll be fun for a full campaign at all.
Imagine if it really was as I mentioned it to be - stat boosts to weapons and just chasing samey robots around in the sky until they explode. Does that sound like a full, complete game? No? It doesn't to me. I'm not saying that's what it will be, but I'd want some more detailing from previews as to what is actually involved here beyond that the handling is good.
