Turn-based combat isn’t what I was expecting, but I can dig it, and the movement looks fun. Especially if they bring another banger soundtrack to the table.

If it gives off the same sense of awe that Gravity Rush 1 and 2 did, I’m in.

That’s ridiculous. It’s not like they were making cartoons out of Rambo, The Toxic Avenger, Robocop... oh.

Stranger Things is already presented as a show/movie from the 80s. This is just making it a cartoon on top of that. But then, I suppose a cartoon version of a live action show/movie is pretty 80s, too, so long as they have Frank Welker voicing Dart.

Some people aren’t well-suited for this type of gameplay. They usually stay inside the bubble, where there’s plenty of other stuff going on.

I love this graphical style; totally looking forward to this

I started out with the expedition, and kept pace through the first 10 waypoints. At that point I started a new job and just did not have the time to dedicate to the family, job, and expedition. While I was keeping up, It was fantastic.

“As someone who played E:D for a while, this sounds grueling and unrewarding.”

I used to play in VR which was awesome, and I figured out how to run a second VR app while running E:D so that I had a virtual window that I could move around the cockpit so I could watch Netflix or read ebooks when I was doing those long drives. It kinda made it feel even more real.

Using “universe” interchangeably with “galaxy” is not reflective of the editorial standards I expect from Kotaku or GMG. Thank you.

Most of the space they were passing through didn’t have stations.  They weren’t docking, it was all fuel scoops.

Honestly, if it wasn’t for VR, I’d have never sunk as much time into the game as I have. I haven’t played in a while and wasn’t part of this expedition, but I did take an exploration trip to the center of the galaxy and then to Colonia and back. I’d have never even gotten halfway if not for VR.

ONE of the reasons I bailed out on the TV show (and I say ONE, because there were many) was because every time I tried to have a conversation with someone about it, I would be met with a condescending superfan saying “Oh, well you know, in the comic book, THIS is what really happens...”

So, I’m surprised to hear him…

I would love to say I think you made that up...

The gif header image gave me flashbacks of visiting the eye doctor.

The displays are technically the same specs, but the Index uses an LCD with 3 sub-pixels per pixels, where the Vive Pro uses an OLED with 2 per. This results in a significantly sharper image and way reduced screen door effect (supposedly). The index also has ~20 degree wider Field Of View.

What causes the “screendoor effect”? That’s my biggest issue with VR currently. Is it the resolution? Refresh rate? or Frame rate?

Archer is one of those shows that is best when you forget it exists for about a year or so, and then tune into an Archer marathon, watch four of them back-to-back and score a couple of laughs. But when you have one guy writing 100 episodes by himself, there’s only so much of the same style of jokes you can hear before…

I’m still going with the “Skywalker is a noun that is replacing the word ‘Jedi’” theory, hence the trailer’s opening scene involving Rey walking on the sky.

Darth Plagueis, baby
