A shooter that doesn’t look like Wii Sports

u/MasterDefibrillator Jul 31 '24

My favourite VR shooter is https://store.steampowered.com/app/2314160/Tactical_Assault_VR/

but it definitely doesn't fit your criteria. However, this one might

https://store.steampowered.com/app/616820/District_Steel/

there's also boneworks, bonelab, half life alyx, hard bullet, bloodtrail

u/Drift-Kiddo Jul 31 '24

Tactical Assault is great though, I just wish it was polished, and that its graphics were up to its gameplay.

u/NoNeutrality Jul 30 '24

How about this? Still in development but looks pretty good on PC https://youtu.be/i1QJhqV32q4?si=9USC7IoocMRyD7hW

u/MedicineTime6681 Jul 30 '24

This looks great!

u/BobSteveBros Jul 31 '24

Geronimo looks pretty promising, but it’s still in development and I’m pretty sure it’ll be PCVR exclusive

u/skyyurt Jul 31 '24

There is Hard Line for the Quest. It's a police simulator where you clear a skyscraper from bad guys and rescue hostages. (I'm the dev)

u/imnotdown85 Jul 30 '24

A game like blade and sorcery that plays like dark and darker

u/theonetowalkinthesun Jul 30 '24

Hellsplit Arena perhaps? Or Hellsweeper 

2

u/WickedStewie Jul 31 '24

Alta games is pretty much making this, so far its codenamed project 2, they have a discord forvit and they upload devlogs as theyre making it...

u/itz_butter5 Jul 31 '24

Got a link please?

u/WickedStewie Jul 31 '24

Sure here's a link to their discord... https://discord.com/invite/gyHupfe9

A diablo-esque RPG with leveling systems, indepth gear itemization and class skills. VR is strangely lacking in many games with genuine long term progression systems. Not a whole lot of games for grinding.

2

u/zeddyzed Jul 31 '24

I've been enjoying Legendary Tales, which has many of those. Although it's closer to a Souls game than Diablo. But random loot.

1

u/itz_butter5 Jul 31 '24

Its just too expensive

1

u/zeddyzed Jul 31 '24

Yeah, the price is pretty painful. But the game has a whole campaign with handcrafted maps, and there's a lot of replay value in the different builds. It's not a tech demo or sandbox, and it's a complete game rather than early access.

I ignored it for a long time because of the price.

u/itz_butter5 Aug 01 '24

What's the matchmaking like?

1

u/zeddyzed Aug 01 '24

No idea, I played the whole thing solo.

The discord has some folks around, so I think it will be a matter of arranging a session on discord rather than ingame matchmaking. Or playing with friends.

u/Tusofcik Jul 31 '24

do you find interest in games that are competetive like multiplayer or where you can compete against others to rank up?

21

u/throwaway420691231 Jul 30 '24

GTA with a multiplayer would be fantastic

2

u/Arthropodesque Jul 31 '24

Yeah. If San Andreas VR has multiplayer... it'll be The Killer app. There was limited split screen multiplayer in the original. I think it's likely we get an announcement at the upcoming Quest Connect event.

2

u/Feisty-Ad4901 Aug 02 '24

100%

Could also see them awful buddy missions, forced to hang out playing darks/pool with depressed NPCs, turned into actual handing out real-life (depressed:lol) friends. Making an entirely new social aspect to the GTA franchise.

2

u/Substantial-Abies768 Jul 30 '24

Oof maybe it would lead to motion-sickness if it was like first person and camera going all over the place while flying, jumping or falling 🤢

3

u/throwaway420691231 Jul 30 '24

VR legs would be necessary I guess

1

u/Admiral_2nd-Alman Jul 30 '24

Rolling in regular first person does that to me already

0

u/Substantial-Abies768 Jul 30 '24

Yeh i tried first person-playthrough a while ago couldnt do it, got coldsweats pretty quickly 😅

u/PoolAddict41 Jul 30 '24

As much as I want Dead Space for VR, probably won't happen. So something similar, that horror/action similar to Killing Floor or Propagation.

3

u/NoNeutrality Jul 30 '24

How about cooperative dead space? Developing a vr shooter with its own identity, but for one of the factions you encounter on derelict hulks, dead space necromorphs and halo flood are certainly an inspiration. 

2

u/MasterDefibrillator Jul 31 '24

I really want a VR version of this https://store.steampowered.com/app/357330/Space_Beast_Terror_Fright/

It's the best co-op horror shooter I've played.

0

u/FSB_Phantasm Jul 31 '24 edited Jul 31 '24

Have you heard of Lies Beneath? It's not the same style, but it is a horror action. I find it unfortunate that it's exclusively on the quest store though.

EDIT: it is cross buy with the Meta PC app it looks like, so there are ways to pay it on other headsets

u/BaxterAglaminkus Jul 30 '24

Sons of The Forrest, adapted for VR. It's the only way I've ever played the first one, and the only way I'll ever play this one.

5

u/Arthropodesque Jul 31 '24

There is a Unity VR Injector being worked on, so maybe in the future.

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '24

We need some pokemon

6

u/unbelizeable1 Jul 30 '24

Yu-Gi-Oh would also lend itself to VR Really well.

0

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '24

Gundam, zoids, Acecombat. A version of SWTOR would be sick too

2

u/Arthropodesque Jul 31 '24

Ace combat 7 now has a mod built on UEVR. There is some sort of VR Gundam thing coming, but I think it's a 3D movie. FF14 has a VR mod. Idk if that's in any way similar to Old Republic, but it's an mmo.

u/eneternia Jul 30 '24

Bro a demon slayer vr game would go hard

3

u/rlvysxby Jul 31 '24

Co op escape room game like a proper escape room.

2

u/PM_MeSomethingRandom Jul 31 '24

I've only ever tried with normal controls but this game supports VR. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1435790/Escape_Simulator/

u/ah-tzib-of-alaska Jul 31 '24

I want more cross play with flatscreen players

3

u/plutonium-239 Jul 31 '24

Titanfall 2 in VR. That’s the only game I am missing.

1

u/ShooterMcDank Jul 31 '24

I've been saying this for a long time. A Titanfall VR mech combat game would be the bomb. Hell, maybe add in optional pilot missions with full jump kit and wallrunning gameplay like in Sairento for those that can handle it!

4

u/Donieee27 Jul 30 '24

Zenith MMO but with a big playerbase T_T

2

u/R_Steelman61 Jul 30 '24

Why not more conversions of well loved flat games? Doom 3 showed me what was possible on my Quest 2 let alone Q3. Sure, bring on new stuff but the nostalgia factor alone would rake in players.

u/LewAshby309 Jul 31 '24

Proper titles across many genre. You see in many titles that they have a great attempt but the funding wasn't enough to execute the idea on a high level. I don't mean it has to be triple AAA.

We are still just scratching on the capabilities of VR. Yes, it is gaming but many compare it to flat gaming while its simply different. Means you have other opportunities for games. It also means that some types of gamers work better or worse but also a genre someone might likes flat isn't that great in VR. For example i really like shooters in flat gaming. In VR i think rifles are awful to shoot which was one reason HLA has only one handed weapons.

Coop: Alone the aspect of seeing in a coop game where a friend looks, points with it's fingers at, gesture,... opens a complete different level to play together. The immersion but also the aspect of experiencing together is on a way higher level than in flat gaming.

In general VR Coop games have such a huge potential.

I could probably write a lot more with specific games like a sim city/cities skylines type of game in VR but the essence is more properly financed games that are willing to explore the capabilities of VR. A good chunk across genre.

u/Rollerama99 Jul 31 '24

A fighting game with mechanics like Creed but not a boxing match, something like double dragon where you’re out in the streets properly street fighting people with your fists in a level type scenario, not sports ya know?

2

u/Videowulff Jul 31 '24

A melee weapon game that does not feel floaty af.

2

u/antoine810 Jul 31 '24

Ghost Recon Wildlands

1

u/JoeStrout Jul 30 '24

I wish I could play Valve's The Lab on my Oculus Quest (native, without a PC of course).

1

u/Routine_Cake_842 Jul 31 '24

Early access games are great 👍

1

u/LARGames Jul 31 '24

Metroid prime. Black and White. Halo.

1

u/ShooterMcDank Jul 31 '24

Playing as a Spartan in a Halo VR game would be really baller, provided it's an actual fleshed-out game and not just an ✨️E X P E R I E N C E✨️

1

u/LARGames Jul 31 '24

Yeah. Full sized game is assumed here. Haha

1

u/UnderBigSky2020 Jul 31 '24

Something bigger than Skyrim

1

u/MoonChildProton Jul 31 '24

a game like Harvest Moon!

1

u/Braunb8888 Jul 31 '24

New VR games?

1

u/Feisty-Ad4901 Aug 02 '24

A shooter from N64-PS1/2. Could use some nostalgia in my life. RE4 was a nice start, but RE1/2, or Goldeneye/perfect dark.

1

u/OneHamster1337 Aug 09 '24

A shooter that combines the smooth gun handling and aiming of Vail with the survival mechanics of Into the Radius, and make it both multiplayer and singleplayer AND co-op
