Why would the review come out next week if the game is out this week?
Is it possible Boneworks is going to have a stealth release? It was initially put down as coming out around this time.

Is it possible Boneworks is going to have a stealth release? It was initially put down as coming out around this time.
Boneworks makes the most sense (assuming the dates eliminate Asgard's Wrath).
People are hyping themselves up for a Valve game, but that makes literally zero sense. And he also says it's a game we know about. Valve won't even tell us the title of their supposed title that's releasing this year. I don't consider that a known game.
Right their with you. Quest kind of gives you a grid in one of the setup programs. Adjust to the spot that gives you the sharpest picture over the fullest area. What if I have sunken eyes and I'm abnormally far from the lens? Or what if my facial structure allows me to be abnormally close to the lens? Surely distance from the lens plays some role. I've always felt it's best to just adjust based on what gives the highest clarity and not worry about the number.
More tweets:
The embodied interactions part makes me think of Boneworks, though Asgard does apparently have a strong emphasis on IK movements. All this teasing and a week plus wait! I need to know.
edit: And this:
An existing IP would rule out Asgard and Boneworks. Metroidvania, sim lite...I got nothin lol.

But Beatsaber is already VR's true must-have game.
Heads up, if you have a Microcenter near you, they're selling the first gen HP WMR headset for $130!
His original tweets were from this weekend, so next week would technically be this week?
Anyone know good games to get used to walking in VR with the thumbstick?
I'm playing Serious Sam and it's a ton of fun but it fucks me up. Doesn't help that I'm prone to motion sickness.
I already got my VR legs when it comes to playing in general (would get dizzy at first, now I can play for extended periods) but walking with a thumbstick is still an issue.

No Man's Sky is a good one...other than that I think the popular multiplayer shooters do it the best. Onward, Pavlov, Contractors. None of them are too fast paced...just don't used smooth turning with the right thumbstick. Make sure you keep snap turn on.
Because of the existing IP, I was going to suggest Borderlands. But LOL. That tweet would never describe that.
Out of curiosity, have you gone into the comfort settings? The Croteam games are amazing for this. I have trouble with locomotion too, but if I crank up the vignetting in the options menus, it's great. If you really dial everything towards comfort, these games should be as tame as you're going to find.
That's great to hear! I've been meaning to try the game out as well but I was worried about walking. Thanks!
Hmm, I'll have to check out more of their options to be honest, I didn't mess around with them too much. (I also love how many options Crotream allows in their games but it can be overwhelming sometimes lol).
Thanks!
Yeah I'm fine in GORN but I'm sure that's because of the weird walking system haha. I'll look into Compound, thank you!
There are various different locomotion settings you can use for Serious Sam. You can switch to teleport if you want
Wow this is tempting. Anyone have any experience using this with glasses on?
Yeah I tried that (I use it for Talos) and it worked fine but that's not Serious Sam to me. It's one of THE run n gun games.
Just keep taking baby steps until you can handle Serious Sam and some of the other faster paced movement games.
Apparently there's a Predator VR game on the way. Looks not bad. Has a single player campaign mode, Predator v humans multiplayer, and a mode that sounds like you just go beast as the Predator on AI.
Yeah. It's not natural. As I said, though, Croteam is a great training tool. There should be some level of vignetting (when moving) that won't make you sick. And you could gradually reduce it (ideally) as you got more and more comfortable. In that sense, these are great games to start with.
Also, either disable joystick turning or at least switch to snap turning.
Onward was one of the first VR games that had only smooth locomotion and it worked.
Now I'm back to thinking this is Asgard's Wrath he's talking about...the review embargo for it lifts at 1AM PST on 10/9, and given that's not very far away and his comment on not fielding questions so he can get it published sooner to meet the embargo it kinda lines up. Also someone thinks the prior tweet about it being an existing IP may have been a joke related to Norse mythology themed games in general sooo...we'll find out soon enough I suppose.
Kinda surprised Facebook/Oculus hasn't put more press behind this release, its a 30 hour action rpg with a whopping 121 gb install size. You'd think a game of this magnitude would be a big deal for VR and Oculus and want to promote it more heavily. I get it small install base and what have you just think this would at least get more chatter from some of the bigger outlets ahead of release. Maybe they're saving their push for it post release which is one way to do it I suppose.
edit: And now I just saw this one so don't know what to think. Back to square one I guess.

I'm glad some people are having fun with all that but it does nothing for me: I'm not a fan of these embargoed hype-filled teases that somehow always end up disappointing the same people.
I'm guessing it's Boneworks since it's getting a release date soon
https://www.reddit.com/r/ValveIndex/comments/df42l2/boneworks_should_be_getting_a_release_date_soon/
edit: reading the comments and maybe it is Asgards Wrath lol
I kind of feel like Oculus have given up promoting their Rift games after Marvel bombed. Defector came out in the summer and they barely did any promotion for it outside of posting a few tiny gameplay clips to reddit.
im out of vr for some times...they will let oculus wireless magic to have some kind of hand recognition such as the one for the index? could i be playing boneworks with oculus? is it an open system where i can easily buy on steam and play on oculus or not?
I'm looking at gameplay for Asgard's Wrath and this can't be what he's praising so much, can it? Maybe it's a real looks can be deceiving kind of game.
I really like my PSVR, but image quality is terrible in most games.
So, I was thinking about using my pc (8700k + 1080ti) for VR.
However, I cannot decide if I should buy Kinect v2 (to enable 6dof on a pc) and use PSVR+moves for playing or buy a new headset.
I think that I could supersample most games to 1080p (and get better IQ on PSVR), but if you think it's better to go a different route, please tell.

Well it probably isn't seeing as the reviews for Asgard at Upload VR and Road to VR (where he's published reviews) aren't written by him. Though who knows maybe he's writing it for a different outlet, the reviews for Asgard are pretty positive so far, with the Upload VR one calling it the best VR game to date and it also mentions Metroidvania elements.
The game is fully playable with any SteamVR compatible VR headset and tracked controllers.
It works with any pair of Vive wands, Oculus Touch controllers or Valve Index knuckles.
oh good, the trailer looked fun but the finger movement kinda made me worry.
I wish I could play Asgards Wrath on my vive though.
Looks like it'll be a lot of fun.
That sounds great. Looks like the initial impression is off to a good start
Oh right, I didn't realise it was a game by game basis, I thought Revive just made it all work. I'm only just setting that up for myself today.
Dang, the original Vive wasn't tested and it seems like there are issues with the original vive controllers, I will have to wait and see then
No, don't bother wasting time with this kinda setup. It's a nightmare, and a lot of content will be effectively unplayable.
The combat system in Asgard sounds a bit deeper than I expected, this is from an Oculus rep (may be a dev on it too not sure):
Good to hear you can't cheese melee combat with waggling.

The fact that there are so many games to rule out
I bet this feels even more badass to play. Is there a scoring system explanation somewhere?

Not sure, the uploadVR article just mentions perfecting a level run for higher scores. Also did you mean to write something more after "rule out"?
This guy is givin me a headache at this point...
The Oculus rep that's been doing PR on reddit for Asgard seems convinced its a review for that. Not sure why Gabriel would still be silent on what it was for if it was Asgard since the embargo is up for that. Are we gonna get a surprise media blowout for something else tomorrow? Would be odd timing with the Asgard release. I mean hey I'm all for a surprise shadow drop don't get me wrong, just find this teasing a bit odd since there doesn't seem to be any other press rumblings for something VR related coming from anyone else.
