What are you most anticipating for 2024 in terms of games?
Still grinding my way towards being the best Jamie player in Street Fighter VI. Its a long road but I do feel like I'm getting stronger.
That aside: OMG y'all! I bought a valve index and its the first thing that's gotten me to take a break a street fighter in a while. Superhot VR is low-key my runner up gaming experience of the last year. I also have been enjoying the hell out of pistol whip. It makes for an insanely great cardio workout during the cold season here when I can't go for my daily run cause its like 11 degrees outside. I have a huge backlog of games to get through now.
Future plans: I am going to try to play the entire Half life series in VR starting with the black mesa remake and culminating in Alyx over the coming weeks/months. My VR legs are starting to get pretty strong so I feel confident I can do it without motion sickness being a huge issue. I've played a segment or two and it definitely makes the experience radically different. In other news: I also have this radical urge to replay Shadow of the collosus with some of the more recent HD texture mods so I might try and fit that one in.
Sidenote: apparently there's a Deus Ex Remaster project that has a VR element as part of its scope and I am gonna lose my noodle if/when that drops.
In terms of what I'm excited for in 2024: man I don't even know. I don't really follow game releases anymore these days. I guess i'm excited for whatever balance patch plans and future DLC Capcom has for SFVI after capcom cup for sure. Otherwise I still have such a huge backlog of games to play right now I can't imagine picking up new ones.
Play Alyx ASAP imo. That game convinced me that VR has truly arrived and has unbelievable potential. Except it hasn't, since Superhot VR and Alyx are still the only games that really grabbed my interest.
I hear its amazing. My reasoning for putting it off is that everything I've heard has said that the biggest problem with Alyx is that its a double edged sword because it is the greatest experience anyone has made thus far in VR and nothing else anyone has made out there has come even remotely close. I kinda wanna savor it a bit. Right now everything is still new and fun and I'm worried if I jump into Alyx it'll just leave a bitter taste in my mouth.
Your plan is good regarding waiting a bit for Alex.
VR games/experiences I'd recommend trying:
What does this mean:
PS3 games via RPCS3 with stereoscopic 3d render mode turned on (same setup as above)
Just 3D gaming? I looked it up and all I saw was someone playing a game in a virtual theatre or something
couldn't tell what was going on
Have you ever seen a 3D movie before? It's that experience but you're controlling the characters on screen. It's also the best form of it because everything in the scene has depth.
If you've played a 3ds with the 3d mode turned on it's the same thing except the the effect is way better in VR because of the screen resolution/differences in the 3d projection technology.
The bright side is that there's a lot of 3rd party campaigns. Also, if you ever get the chance to try it with the bhaptics hardware (vest and sleeves) it just bumps up the amazingness of the experience.
