Onward On Oculus Quest Review: Lock And Load Without Wires

Multiplayer shooter Onward released this week for Oculus Quest. If you’re curious what we think so far, here is our Onward Oculus Quest review! Technically, this is an Early Access release, as you’ll be informed when you first boot the game up. However, Facebook doesn’t officially allow Early Access content on Quest and the game’s store page doesn’t designate it as an early version; this means you don’t find out it’s Early Access until after buying it. With that in mind, we’re treating this like a full launch. [This was

Whoever knew the insides of a Soviet-era Russian space facility could look so, well, colorful? Yupitergrad did, apparently.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners launches on PSVR alongside fresh trailer

Skydance Interactive and Skybound Entertainment have brought their Walking Dead VR game, Saints & Sinners, over to the PSVR platform, and it's available now. The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is perhaps one of the most interesting dives into the TWD universe this side of the Telltale Games series. Putting players behind the eyes of a survivor trying to make it in New Orleans amid zombies and a war of factions, the game features visceral combat, gathering and crafting, and a wealth of interesting VR gameplay set in the popular

Half-Life: Alyx VR Analysis — How The Game Plays On Every Major VR Headset

VR headsets aren't all created equally. We at GameSpot have tested out the newly released Half-Life: Alyx on the four biggest VR headsets: Valve Index, HTC Vive Pro, Oculus Rift, and Oculus Quest.From a top view, it's no surprise that the Index is the ideal platform to play Alyx on, considering they're both made by Valve. But it's also the most expensive and currently in short supply. The Vive is the next best opinion; it's designed for steam VR, which makes setup with Alyx easy, and you can swap out

The VR Games That Influenced Half-Life: Alyx’s Developers

Half-Life: Alyx isn't the first full-length virtual reality game and it didn't invent many of the key VR-based mechanics at its core, but if our review of the game is anything to go off of, it's certainly one of the most refined examples. Valve has, after all, been at the forefront of VR, with its development of the HTC Vive and The Lab back in 2016. GameSpot had the chance to chat with Valve level designer Dario Casali and programmer Kerry Davis about Half-Life: Alyx and all things VR--including some

Best VR Headset For Half-Life Alex And More (March 2020)

Half-Life: Alyx is out now on Steam, making it a particularly exciting time to shop for the best VR headset. The fact that this is Valve's first big VR game is only eclipsed by the fact that Alyx is the first entry in the Half-Life series since 2007. Because of that, interest in VR gaming has spiked considerably. Valve's own Index headset was restocked a little while ago, but if you place a new order now, you'll need to wait about eight weeks before your headset ships. Unfortunately, that's the
