VR is just an add-on, and doesn't add much to how immersive it already is with headphones.
Is this sort of pointless to play on anything but VR?
Nope, game is awesome in non-VR too. Get some good headphones and let it take you.
Would you recommend PC or PS4?
The game defaulted to 8K with 4x MSAA and still runs at 144FPS on my 980 and 120Hz GSync Monitor.
Personally I bought on PS4 because of the PSVR support. Currently playing in non-VR and it's runs at a solid 60 (no drops at all so far), and it looks gorgeous.
Impressions in this thread seem to suggest the PC version performs exceptionally well though, see here:
Your right making it 3d, adding 3d audio and putting the screen an inch from your eyeballs doesn't add a single thing.
Probably feels like the insane roller coaster ever in VR, but it's still super intense and satisfying without VRYour right making it 3d, adding 3d audio and putting the screen an inch from your eyeballs doesn't add a single thing.
PC version all the way if you have at least a 970.
This sucker can run at over 4k and still maintain 120fps WITH AA.
This means VR mode will more than likely be 90fps with high levels of supersampling.
Fuck. Please get that VR patch out now.
I think the best part of the call-response formula are the bars and rings. You get the rhythm of them appearing on the track, and that satisfying beat when you smash through.
Followed by the thump + wall grind combo.
Holy shit, I had no idea Brian Gibson founded a studio. Awesome.
I might wait for PS4 Pro to play this.
Hot damn.
This game is amazing! Good lord, VR with this game will melt my face.
Highly recommend getting the soundtrack version. It's worth the extra few bucks.
This game is going to destroy me. I'm on level 5 right now and hitting a real bastard of a wall, but I'm hooked.
Holy shit, this OT reminds me of the one I did for TxK many, many moons ago:
THUMPER IS RHYTHM VIOLENCE! YOU ARE A SPACE BEETLE! KILL CRAKHED!
Hope that means they're very similar in vibe. Because I could do with more of that in my life.
This is exactly what I needed to hear.This game reminds me of Dyad, which I hoped would get a PS4 port and never did.
I just beat the first level, but I'm super tired so I'll get back to it tomorrow.
Does the soundtrack come with the ps4 version?
Its $19 on steam, $27 with the soundtrack. On ps4 its $27 but doesn't mention a soundtrack.
It's $19.99 on PS4, not seeing a $27 option anywhere.
