This game was a pleasant surprise. Oddly enough i hadn't heard about it until recently.

Zarock3032d ago

The game was too predictable and nothing out of the ordinary don't know what all the hype was about.

OoglyBoogly3032d ago

Agreed. It's OK to hate on Gone Home around these parts but to say something negative about this game, which is basically just a glorified Gone Home, is sacrilege.

This game was short, had very little to actually do, very little game mechanics, bait and switch story from start to finish, a horrible ending, and hardly any exploration outside the main story.

It's Gone Home all over again is all. Give it a few months after the hype (which exists for whatever reason) dies down and it'll become just another walking simulator with a #2DEEP4U story that is more accurately just a waste of time.

Just finished it a moment ago, I thought it was quite nice. The interaction between D and H reminded me of Simon and Catherine in SOMA. Kind of the close yet distant type of thing

Been wanting to play Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Elda289d ago

2 people downvoting you because you want to play SOS & TTCM is beyond stupid, lol.

Elda289d ago

The immature mentality & behavior of some folks here on N4G is not surprising. I pay it dust.

MEGANE289d ago

I don’t get it, this is why you can’t have a discussion in here, I get there is more PS5 fans here including my self but downvoting everything Xbox is counterproductive.

JeffGUNZ288d ago

If you never played firewatch, do yourself a favor and play it. It's not very long but it's a fantastic gaming experience.

Traecy289d ago

I'll see what TTCM is giving.

Ninver289d ago

Firewatch? It's been out since the birth of christ. Better late than never I guess.

I loved A Short Hike, and want Firewatch.

Firewatch is one of my favourite games. It was ages ago that I played it but I still think about it, one of those that sticks with you.

robtion525d ago

What Remains of Edith Finch is brilliant. I would also add Inside to this list.

Firewatch VR Mod Is Now Complete

From UploadVR: "Perhaps one of the most demanded VR mods out there, Firewatch VR, is now complete.

Developer Raicuparta recently moved their mod, named Two Forks VR, to a 1.0 release. This update doesn’t actually add much to the mod over the past release, but the developer says the mod is now in “maintenance mode”, essentially meaning it will just be updated to keep working with any possible future updates to Firewatch itself.

Raicuparta previously made an excellent VR mod for Outer Wilds, and now Two Forks VR features a lot of advanced VR mod features like snap turning and more. If you want to try the mod for yourself you’ll need to subscribe to Raicuparta’s Patreon campaign."

Really cool. Something the main developers should have considered when VR was really getting hot. Maybe next round with new headsets coming.

The more interesting thing is that Modders are, in a way, proving what Sony wants to do with some VR games being hybrids besides the ground up developed games. Make the necessary tweaks and modifications and boom. VR game.

Games like RE7, Borderlands, Skyrim, Doom, Dirt Rally, etc have made the case. Some very close like Hitman 3. It just needed more tweaking. Just need more of the best and at a higher quality. Developers win. Gamers win either way in or out of VR.

This one's a good fit for VR, and not too demanding <3
