Appreciate the updates. That board game one, how would it work? I assume it’s not bringing the actual games, that would be a licensing nightmare.

1645

It seems it will have two “pillars”: user made content/mods, where people will make their own tabletop games (or most probably, ‘knock off’ versions of famous games) and second, licensed games, but you have to pay for them as DLC. In the KS page they have announced a few, with more coming:

Only one of the players have to own the dlc to be played by everyone.

Cool, thanks for the explanation.

1647

Tabletop Sim has VR support, and brings plenty of the actual games created/licensed by publishers (which you often have to pay for) - along with many more community workshop knockoffs. I guess the appeal of this new one is, it’s made for VR, and not had VR tacked on?

1648

Tabletop Sim has VR support in the same way that Google has customer support. It’s theoretically there, but dear god is it painful to try to use and doesn’t work anyway.

1649

Haha fair enough, I have never actually tried either of those… thankfully, it sounds. :)

A Twilight Zone game is out, it includes three stories. User reviews are good, but no idea of the length of the total experience

Survios (Raw Data, Walking Dead Onslaught) is creating a new Aliens game, for pc/consoles/vr

80 new ‘single hand’ maps for Beat Saber. Good for disabled people or if you have a lesion in one hand right now.

Steam is doing a ‘VR Festival’, next week, this will be one of the games with demos

I bought Walkabout months ago and just picked it up, man, what a perfect mini-golf game. The controls are wonderfully tight, the physics are dead on, the pace is rapid but peaceful. If anyone wants a regular game, I’d be down for that.

1653

Yeah, I finally picked up Walkabout and absolutely love it. My Quest 2 has been nothing but a Beat Saber / Pistol Whip machine for the better part of a year, but this is a perfect way to chill for an evening.

1654

Every DLC course is 100% worth the cost too. Gives you a ton of holes to take down!

1655

Same interesting offers on Steam:

Pavlov is only 4,2€.
A Fisherman Tale is 5€.
Walking Dead S&S is 18€.
Superhot VR is 9€.
Walkabout Minigolf is 7,5€.

1656

Just be aware walkiing dead doesnt work on the quest 2.

1657

It doesn’t? First news I have about it.

Are you sure? I have the feeling the review section would be filled with negative reviews if that was true, given it’s the most popular device by far.

1658

Well, according to Steam and a user at least. I am assuming here an Oculus Rift isn’t the same as a Quest 2.

No reason it wouldn’t work via Air Link. Every other Rift game does. Absent further info, I would assume that Steam reviewer thought it would play natively.

1660

Its kinda wierd that there isn’t a Quest 2 tag on Steam for this- but then maybe I am dense, and the Rift compatible games always works?

1661

As long as you use Link. I could be wrong, but I don’t think any Steam games have a Quest 2 tag (except maybe crossbuy ones, but I think those only work if you buy via the Oculus store). See, eg, Superhot VR:

1662

Yep they do, by running the game on PC and using Oculus Link to stream it to the Quest. There are no native Quest games on Steam.

Some confusion is probably because there is a native Quest 2 version of Walking Dead, but you can only buy it from Oculus Store.

1663

The really odd thing about Walkabout is that there isn’t a lobby system for Multiplayer. You can do a game against one random person, but otherwise it’s up to you to find people and coral them into a private room. Discord has a room generator, but it’s probably not what the vast majority of people do… and so the best way to play the game, with three or four other people, isn’t easily accessible to most. It’s baffling.
