Nerd³ Robs A Bank in VR
Added 2018-01-06 21:49:37 +0000 UTCGod damn Payday 2 in VR is amazing.
It's miles better than Fallout 4's barebones approach and LA Noire's reduced game attempt. It's the full game, totally in VR, totally for free.
Payday 2 is intense in VR. Like, new levels of intense. Gunning down hundreds of policemen that are RIGHT THERE as the bass drops is everything I ever wanted apparently. Panic stabbing a guy that leaps out at you is seriously terrifying and the first time one of those Sam Fisher bastards turned up I beat it to death with a grenade while crying.
Now here's the extra superb bit. It has working multiplayer, and not just VR to VR. VR to PC. I've played a few rounds with myself on the Vive and Rebecca on her PC and it's just so good. Even when I use the teleport to get around Rebecca was seeing me walk and run around like normal. They've done an excellent job of making both experiences the best they can be.
In more boring praise, the menu systems are really well done, a combination of pointing at giant screens and the interesting stuff popping out to be ogled in VR. Also all the DLC is already compatible, even in this beta stage, so you're not going to lose access to anything you've bought.
In short, Payday 2 is my new VR baseline. Full game, in VR with smart, well thought out controls and systems. For Free. You can't just walk through a locked door like in Fallout 4 VR or only see a fraction of the game like in LA Noire. This is the new one to beat for me.

P.S. Maximum hype for the Vive announcement in two days. Even if it's just a better resolution I am SO DOWN.

This makes me want to get a VR headset more than ever now...

2018-01-07 11:59:26 +0000 UTCIt's actually $600, if that makes a difference. It sure did for me, one of the best buys of my life
2018-01-07 06:33:32 +0000 UTCThis video was awesome, however it felt more like a recommends video or like an oldschool Plays video rather than your usual saturdays videos.

2018-01-07 02:12:26 +0000 UTCIt has to be First World Bank - there's no better heist for that kind of video
2018-01-06 23:00:13 +0000 UTCAnyone else find Dan strangely reminiscent of Joker in that video? With all the talking to corpses?
2018-01-06 22:51:50 +0000 UTCP.S You need to livestream this at least once... :3
2018-01-06 22:50:57 +0000 UTCWould be cool to see a video with you, matt, and jon, all trying to successfully pull off a hard heist.

2018-01-06 22:49:44 +0000 UTCI feel like they could've totally just sold this VR version for about 30 quid like Fallout. But damn... it's fucking FREE??!!?
2018-01-06 22:48:56 +0000 UTCRemember the Dr Who Podcast.

2018-01-06 22:41:13 +0000 UTCAs a PAYDAY 2 fan this is extremely exciting, now if only I had $800 for a Vive...

2018-01-06 22:33:47 +0000 UTCThe Vive announcement could be the standalone headset with inside out tracking that was talked about when Google showed off their VR stuff

2018-01-06 22:07:30 +0000 UTCalthough i can't check this right now, its apparently also compatible with the rift touch cocntrolers, so i cant wait to try them out soon ^^

2018-01-06 22:06:02 +0000 UTCSeems like a good time to dust off my Vive, poor thing. I’m hoping the update has either a trade in system or some kinda self upgrade cos I don’t really want to have to buy a new system, but hey, current Vive is still awesome

2018-01-06 22:05:52 +0000 UTCThese VR videos are quickly becoming some of my favorite stuff you've made, would love to see some more payday aswell.
2018-01-06 22:04:51 +0000 UTCIt's cool to see a company make a game work in VR fully, really good video to.
2018-01-06 22:00:37 +0000 UTCSounds bloody fantastic! Used to play Payday all the time, and loved it... Now I want a Vive! 😂
2018-01-06 21:55:35 +0000 UTCWhat games coming out this year are you excited for/interested in?
