Iron Man VR - Preview Thread [Spoiler: It's a full game and it's great]
- Thread starter ThisThingIsUseful

Jesus, didn't expect this kind of critical acclaim from the very first previews.
But Iron Man really is a perfect fit for VR and it seems like Camouflaj is nailing it!

From the previews, look like this will be mission based with story cinematic inbetween missions. I imagine the structure will be very similar to ace combat, just like in Ace Combat, you will be able to unlock new Ironman suits and weapons.
Now that they've nailed how the flight feel, the mission design and variety as well as the suit customization will be what determine whether it'll be truly great. But for now it's looking pretty optimistic.
Man imagine if Astral Chain's reveal trailer was just you in the mascot suit picking up litter. That's what the initial trailer for Iron Man VR was at first.
Glad to be looking promising though. Now I'm very optimistic for this game! We need much, much more GOOD licensed games.

I made this exact point to all the naysayers in the State of Play thread. The only VR game I have seen that looks good in trailers or on stream is Beat Saber. Everything else looks like crap, or just similar to normal games, when watching a 2D trailer. Skyrim VR looked basically the same as the Xbox 360 version in the trailer, but you would never say that they are comparable experiences after you play the VR version.
Also, the quick judgments on this game were kinda shortsided. Even with a mediocre or boring trailer, it's a Sony-funded Marvel game. They are going to push Iron Man VR soooooooo hard, and after Spider-Man they arent going to accept some crappy rail-shooter that gets 65 on metacritic

Answer in the OP:
First showing: 20 minutes hand on with tutorial and mission. You want additional details and that's fine, but this preview event was setup for a first hand on for what was shown to us in the trailer.
Raising hypotheticals from a fruitless position, assuming the worst and lack of patience is evident.
I don't like to jump the gun.
They've got 2 games. Nintendo got 1 and Square has another. Certainly ain't all.
That reveal trailer was a missed opportunity, should of just shown these awesome gifs! Though people sometimes write off VR from the get go no matter what; they couldve handled the reveal better.
Between No Man's Sky, Falcon Age, Iron Man, and Blood and Truth. PSVR is doing work.

For me Astro Bot and Moss sold it to me, but I agree that we still need some killer apps for it
For single-payer games, it seems like Marvel has a go-to publisher in Sony.
Makes me excited for the future.
You're being reductive waaay too much. That's like saying Ace Combat is all about stat boots for newer plane and chasing samey planes/drones in the sky until they explode.
As of now, they get the core flight mechanic to feel good. They're off to a good start, we can only hope the mission design, enemy variety, story to also be good.
These previews have totally put this on my radar. I was fearing it was something like that awful Spider-Man VR experience, but this? Yeah. This looks like it has the potential to be rather special, and VR with a headset is probably the best control method for an Iron Man game.
This is actually surprising me as people seemed to be joking about how awful this looked when revealed at state of play.
It was an awful trailer because it made look like it was another on rails shooter which we have hundreds of. Plus spiderman homecoming vr game was actually garbage. They should have just showed the free flying bits
I don't think VR games are hard to convey to people who have played VR games. Marvel's Iron Man just did a poor job of showcasing its gameplay in the reveal trailer.
Lol and people said that this was "lame". This is gonna be another one of those Astrobot situations isn't it?
Wow this looks promising, wasn't really on my radar before. This game would be perfect for Valve's Knuckles controllers, imagining being able to actually open your hands for firing would make this game so much more immersive. Here's hoping Sony's future motion controllers for PSVR2 allow for a similar amount of freedom.

TIL: there was a Spider-Man Homecoming VR game.
I was gonna correct plargiarize and say, "I think you meant Batman," but nope, this was new to me!
What game? I've never heard of it being hardware specific, just software related, but it could be possible.
Damn, much as I hate to admit it I kind of hoped this would be some on rails shooter that was fun to play but ultimately skipable.
Mainly Because I have an oculus rift and don't want to have to buy a PSVR for it. I already bought a PS4 for Spider-man.

Every game I try it on. Super Hot, Beat Saber and Ultra Wings. Tried re-arranging, moving possible reflections dimming, brightening light all to no avail. Bought a used one thinking it was a bad Move and the same problem persisted.
Superhot tracking is not the best but Beat Saber works very well imo.
Maybe your camera is too far away or too low/high.
Tried it all. Only thing I can't control is interference as I live in a pretty tight neighborhood with apartments below, above and next to us on both sides, so maybe WiFi signals, I'm all out of ideas other than buying new Moves.
It's because those posters were making uninformed hot takes based on a tiny trailer.
Sounds pretty killer, I'm glad this is both of higher quality and larger scope than the initial announcement might suggest. I'm putting it on my radar! :)
Nah, it's because the trailer was really bad. It consisted of a fairly dull cutscene, then showed a few seconds of gameplay that didn't look anywhere near as good as the gifs in this thread. Usually publishers want to show off the best parts of their game when doing a reveal trailer, and that first glimpse of the game certainly didn't instil confidence. I don't know what they were thinking, leading with that.
Either way, I'm happy that it looks like it's going to be a hit.
Hmm, this possibility of being able to play as Iron Man is making me want to watch the first movie again for some reason. It's been, what, ten years since its release?
Awesome impressions.
I was getting flashbacks to that Astro Bot thread. It's great to see VR getting the push it deserves and another superhero game done right. We got a decent demo-sized effort with Batman Arkham VR, a couple of hundred steps back with the Spider-Man VR experience, but it's good to see this one being treated with care.

Looks great. Good time for me to pick up PS VR lately! The heist people making a game is great too!
