Oculus Quest Gaming Showcase Recap in 4 Minutes
The meta quest gaming showcase started off with a bang or a chainsaw featuring the new trailer for the walking dead saints and sinners chapter 2 retribution to be released “later this year” and expect to have fewer resources and a new boss featured in the trailer that will hunt you across new orleans.
Next up we got a look at a new the new officially licensed game NFL Pro Era that featured fast feet lamar jackson which touts that you can participate in drills, play catch virtually with your quest friends in your favorite stadium and run the offense in first person. The graphics looked much better than I expected even if they did look lik madden 2005 but honestly I’m okay with it and EA isn’t behind this game. Thank you Oculus!
Among us got its official trailer featuring all the hands. I’m still very intrigued on how exactly it will work in VR but its a day one buy for me anyways. Also I never saw a knife in the trailer so I’m wondering what the kill will actually look like? Either way this is a big title for the quest and was said to be released this holiday so that accidental steam store release date might be correct. So mark november 10th on your calendars
All aboard the sequel train!
Red matter 2 was announced and it looks incredible. It picks up where the original left off so we have not made it out completely from the red matter. Red matter 2 will feature longer and more ambitious puzzles along with new tools and a more mobile jetpack. Keep your eyes peeled for the red matter again this summer
Another sequel was announced in Espire 2. Locate and stop the launch of an untraceable missile aka a doomsday device. Race against the clock and try to save the world for a second time. Also there is a separate co-op campaign to play with your friend. Set to release sometime in 2022
Next up on the sequel ride is Moss Book 2 is coming to quest 2 this summer. Book builds on everything before it and continues the adventure as quill finds out she is being hunted within the hexed castle that once held her uncle captive. Set to release this summer
Ruinsmagus a JRPG set in a vast labyrinth of ruins and features 26 fully voiced quests is set to release later this year.
Cities VR got a launch trailer so get ready to lay some roads, place hospitals and create the city of your dreams next week on April 28th, pre-order now and get 10% off.
New Beat Saber DLC was announced as the electronic mixtape featuring deadmau5 pendulum marshmallow and more. The pack was labeled as coming soon so I would be it will be here before the summer
More excited DLC was revealed in the new Resident Evil 4 mercenaries pack is out now so go download it! RE the mercenaries has been entirely rebuilt for VR just like RE 4 and features online leaderboards 20 new challenges and fun new modes like Big Head, classic horror black and white and golden gun skins for our lovely weapons. Fun fact: the skins are unlocked in the main campaign as well.
The star of the show in my opinion was of course Bonelab. I’m so excited for this to hit standalone. Bonelab builds on boneworks with a new story and over 2 years of innovation with stress level zero’s interactive engine. Fight, climb and explore a beautifully detailed combat sim where every object reacts exactly the way you’d expect. And you’ll be happy to know mods are supported along with new maps, weapons and avatars. I seriously can not wait for this to be released later this year. I’d assume around the holiday release window.
The showcase concluded with zuck bucks coming out and announcing a new Ghostbusters VR game in the works by the creators of Phantom Covert Ops nDreams studios. Get ready friends to Strap on your protonto to trap some ghosts and solve some mysteries. You will get to team up with 3 friends to bust some ghosts. No release date on this one yet but Halloween would make sense.
Well that was the showcase we didn’t get all we wanted but honestly Bonelab was enough for me. Let me know what you thought of the showcase and I’ll catch you in the next quickie!
