Detached

Could not find any thread about it so here it goes!

Just released.

FPS in VR, in space. I would say that given Elite´s aim to be at the forefront of VR gaming, Detached has put the bar for an eventual Elite´s FPS reasonably high!

Also, got to love how Anshar Studios tries to brutally confront the usual "best practices" to prevent dizziness with rapid movements in VR etc with a "What about not being a wuss while being an astronaut in frikking space" and "11/10 Would puke again"

And this is Scott Manley´s take:

I applaud any attempt by a developer to allow free movement in VR. I can't stand those games that only allow you to teleport from one spot to the next. Windlands is a great example of what can be done and it would be nice if developers at least gave us the option of free movement.

Good luck to them!

A couple screenies of a "burning" asteroid in the fringes of the multiplayer map. At first I thought it was just a 2D texture but it is real, just outside oxygen duration, and it is yuuuge!

And.... dead.

By the way, the MP is only 1v1 at the moment so if anyone here has the game and wants to give it a go, let me know!, my Steam name is the same as here.

Bought this yesterday, asked for a refund today.

Why?

The singleplayer campaign lasts for an hour. An HOUR.
23 euros for that, is a g ripoff.

Great game otherwise, feeling of being there is truly magnificent, the atmosphere, the surroundings, all great.
But thats not enough if theres nothing to do after 1 hour.
Maybe this gets more flesh around the bones at some point, but atm i cant recommend this game. 23 euros / hour is just way too expensive for me.

Have to agree that it is a bit bare bones indeed in terms of content. Only 1 hour and then a 1v1 MP in one map (they are releasing another map shortly) exclusively.

What I like a lot is the actual motion model and the really good implementation of maneuvering in zero G. The system even has the equivalent of Flight Assist On and Assist Off (Arcade vs Astronaut) I can definitely see something similar to this maneuvering model implemented in Elite.

I will not ask for a refund though, for the only reason that it is probably the first FPS in space that proves that 6DoF rapid movements in VR can be ok!

True, and i wouldnt have asked for a refund either, if this would have been some early access version. But selling this as a "full finished game", is just plain wrong.
