I've heard and seen nothing but great things. I have sky high expectations for this one. Hopefully I'm feeling up to hopping in tonight after I get a root canal done, lol.

Nice OT! I'm excited for this, however I think I'll wait till it's out to see first impressions just in case. I have a feeling I'll wind up buying it when I get home from work.

Waiting for the PSVR version. I hope it's handled well with the Move wands, because all of the PC gameplay videos I've seen look stellar. It looks like they've come close to nailing down the Walking Dead experience in VR form, can't wait to eventually try it out.

I really like the look of this, and it seems to be doing a lot more than just being a sort of TWD-infused Arizona Sunshine walking and shooting, which the other TWD VR game has always kinda looked like to me.

Really excited to see how the Quest version turns out. This one looks pretty ambitious for a VR title.

Great OT.

So yeah I'm day zero for this. Hope the performance holds up as some of the footage looked a bit rough in areas, otherwise looks fantastic and can't wait to sink my teeth into the campaign.

Pumped for Thursday, let's kill some zombies!

Also, OP should update the release date to be the 23rd as reflected on both Steam page and official site.

Also I really hope this has proper Index controller support. I believe all dev footage so far has shown them using Oculus Touch.

I've been clamoring for a new zombie VR game since Arizona Sunshine and one that has more physics so i cannot fucking wait. This and the other walking dead game.

I watched a few of the bigger VR youtubers play through this last week and the weight of the weapons, weapon durability it all looks fantastic.

Everything I have seen so far looks very positive, so I went ahead and pre ordered it, which is rare for me :O I loved Arizona Sunshine even though it was a pretty basic game, so this should be a blast.

Surprisingly hyped for this. Not really in to horror in VR (I realize this is pretty action based though).

Hope this reviews well. Either way I'm passing on this for now since I need to RMA my Index controllers :\

Great OT Arthands! Can't wait for this.

Nice short interview with a member of the dev team for those killing time before release.



Kinda reposting from PCVR thread on this video, the thing that stood out to me the most is how flexible the quest system is, any npc can be turned into a zombie, most (if not all) quest givers can be killed at any point even during dialogue. The gameplay and world sounds a lot more emergent than I expected.

The fact we're getting a 15 hour story driven VR game about a month and change from HL: Alyx's release is pretty great. Hope Skydance nailed it.

prayers for a swift rma you should ask for an advanced rma.

they gave me one a few weeks ago and I just got my new controller just in time for saints and sinners.

It actually clicks in the forward position now although I refuse to use these cheap controllers for click to run. I recommend every one change click to run in the steam controllers settings to something else.

Looking forward to heading home tonight, firing this badboy up, merking three zambies, shitting my pants, and then playing it in fits and bursts going forwards so I don't have a heart attack.

Instead of waiting for impressions I will be abusing the refund policy to check out the game and the performance for myself as soon as possible and then decide if I should keep it or not.

The confirmed cross-buy with the Quest version, so I'm definitely going to get this on the Oculus store.
