Lone Echo
- Thread starter DaggerSnake
- Start date
I have finished it four times or so now 
First run through i would say about 7-8 hours.
But if you start hunting for all optional objectives you can easily bump that considerably.
A caveat with that though is continued zooming around and leaving, returning between areas can leave a save file corrupted that resulted to me in crashes.
And once a save is corrupt only fix would be to reload from a point before it got that way.
They might however have patched this since I played last though.

Also just putting this here.
Lone Echo was exceedingly RAM hungry.
First game I seen using 10GB of system RAM and 10GB on the GPU.
That's with some fairly high setting though.

Just completed my first Lone Echo play-through, and it is unlikely to be my last. Outstanding game.
How could Elite ever go there while having coffee makers on fed ships unless...?
I thought Lone Echo and Echo Arena were two different games? I've played Echo Arena, that's the free Oculus game. I haven't bought Lone Echo. So... Which game is this thread about? The first few posts seem to imply Echo Arena...
Lone Echo is the full, story driven game where you play a repair droid assisting the captain of a space station orbiting Saturn while Echo Arena is a free frisbee-goal-scoring eSports thing which uses the same graphics and zero-g locomotion model. I didn't really get on with Echo Arena (multiplayer eSports not really my thing) but Lone Echo itself was absolutely stunning.

Same, wanted to voice my opinion too. Lone Echo is brilliant... love the banter/interaction with Olivia. She's so well voiced and animated - great motion capture and animation blending (she can talk, perform a task and flick away your hands all in one fluid motion - I use her as a handhold sometimes ).
Outside really feels big - looking for the little cube sats goal was good fun and let you explore. Haven't got them all yet.
I hope space legs for Elite uses this as a benchmark for the locomotion. Sadly, I think that's be a hard task given its much less than 1% with VR and even less with Touch or Vive wands.

Well, that's what I thought. Meaning that I've read the description of Lone Echo as a story and it didn't strike me as any relation to Echo Arena at all. I presume then that Lone Echo is basically a story using the same engine/movement etc. as Echo Arena? I've never actually played a game of Echo Arena (i.e. an actual match), but I've spent far too long kicking about the matchmaking hall and playing in the fighting pit and other areas there. I thought it was very well done, so might be tempted on Lone Echo now.
I said that after trying the Vive for a few weeks. Then the Rift went on sale, and at that price it was a no brainer. Interestingly, I find the Rift much better for playing E: D. With the Vive it was really difficult to make out the menu text and HUD stuff - no such problem with the Rift. Though I am also keeping an eye on the Pimax 8k.
