Metro comes to VR !

Well thats immediately on my must buy list !

Well that came out of nowhere.
Is it pcvr or standalone or both?

Both

I’m sure the same team behind Metro made that Arktika 1 game, so it wouldn’t be their first foray in to VR, which is positive.

They are also the team behind Arizona Sunshine 2, which was pretty decent

Quest 3 is as good as it gets at a highish price at the moment think of it more as a game console on your head though.

Its a brilliant device and while your not getting your crisp graphics you want, the games and experience are absolutely fantastic. I really think people are missing out now the quest 3 is here. Give it another 10 years and it could well be where we are now in terms of graphics. (and lots of crap games that dont work due to production values over gaming quality)

Yup, the Quest 3 is the first headset now that I feel I can recommend to all my gaming friends (instead of just the hardcore ones) , imo its the first headset which is really showing how VR can become mainstream. Asgards Wrath 2 on the Quest 3 is superb and at around 90hours in game length its getting to being the length of some PC games.

which was a space station where you had to drag yourself around.

Sounds a bit like Lone Echo? Or Lone Echo 2. Both really good games for anyone who is looking for some good VR titles, zero gravity environments work so well in VR

It’s a massive shame that Lone Echo isn’t (to my knowledge) available native. Such a compelling game I found, I just never remember to touch anything from the Oculus store on PCVR

Yeah its PCVR only, I hold out hope that now the Quest 3 is available they might one day release a native version of Lone Echo

Yup. That's simulation sickness. What you need to do to increase your resistance to it is the following:

1) Play until you START to feel a little odd or uncomfortable.

2) STOP IMMEDIATELY by pressing the Oculus button (the button on the right controller just across from the A button).

3) Keep your headset on and chill out for a minute or two whilst nothing is moving.

4) Remove the headset and take a long break. At least a few hours.

5) Return to step 1.

Over time, you'll find that you'll last longer before you start to feel uncomfortable and if you're lucky you may end up becoming immune to sim sickness. Some people it can take only days, others weeks or even months.

Whatever you do, DO NOT try and power through it. If you make yourself physically ill too much and too often, your brain and body will associate just wearing a headset itself with being poisoned, and you may have trouble untraining your brain after that!

Another good tip, which bizarrely does work, is to position a sizeable fan in front of you blowing toward your face.

Thankfully for me I no longer get VR sickness in any game and am able to do 4 or 5 hour sessions in VR without the slightest hint of nausea. Though its taken me a little time to build up my VR legs to that point.
