Thanks for watching.
nice review bro
It bears mentioning that, Hubris, in many ways resembles an already-existing and many times often-overlooked and extremely under-appreciated title, "Seeking Dawn" which debuted some years back. It was critically panned for being buggy, but I'm willing to bet money that most people that "reviewed" it didn't actually play through the whole game. It was extremely impressive and ambitious for those very early days of PCVR and for posterity reasons, I would still highly recommend that folks still check it out, today. Not trying to hijack your review, I just wanted to pass this along for those that may have missed Seeking Dawn!
I just beat this game and in all honesty, graphics are nearly all this game has going for it. Once I beat the game I didn't feel satisfied, I felt more like I wanted to complain to the internet. It's not the worst game I've played, it's passable, but it just does so much wrong and has so many bugs. When we have other VR titles like Vertigo Remastered and Lonn, this game is a solid two tiers down from Boneworks and Alyx.
Thanks for your review Jarek
Literally just jumped on Twitter to find a review as this was my most anticipated game coming out this year. Feel the review gave me exactly what I needed to know. I'll be picking it up.... but maybe when a 50% discount comes along.
Yea kinda sad, even though graphically it looks like it sucks I'm probably gonna pick up gambit tomorrow for half the price, looks like it has more content and they spent more time on fun. This is for sure a sale title though. 4 and a half "ok" hours for 40 bucks...eh...
@@heythere6804 it does not suck. It was exactly what i expected it to be. A goregeous game by an Indie Studio. Its Cyborns First vr game ever. And they nailed it. The gameplay is absolutely fine. Its not HLA level. But you cant expect that from an indie game.
@@TijnvanGimsta lot of people in the VR community seem to think that if a game doesn’t look realistic it means that it looks “bad”. Imho most realistic games are what look bad because it feels like they lack atmosphere in their lighting in particular, and they feel dull.
@@josephkeen7224 hubris does not lack in lighting nor graphics. Its a goregous looking game
It defenitely is. Graphically Cyborn nailed this one. Lets hope they improve on gameplay in their next game. The gameplay in hubris was fine. The platforming, climbing, swimming and driving were all things i really enjoyed. I just wasnt a fan of the guns and dialogue. The npc's were super impressive. Just the guns.
Spot on bro. I agree that Cyborn oversold themselves with the visuals. They kinda got themselves stuck in a corner from the get go. Hopefully they scale down their next project still keeping those gorgeous graphics and great level design but with more focus on gameplay.
I definitely have high hopes for there next game will be a big hit after this first example
@@GAMERTAGVR 100% agree. With the graphics nailed down. What will hubris 2 bring to the table.
A balanced unbiased review that means a lot in today's world. Thanks for the coverage! I am going to pick up Hubris as a game to showcase VR graphical fidelity. Hope the devs keep actively improving this title.
Thanks Richard. Appreciate it
great great review. The visuals and the detail of those maps is insane for a small studio. Lots of what I see here remind me of Doom 3 for whatever reason (perhaps the floating menus and the look of the spacecraft interiors?). I feel that VR is very unforgiving. We've seen quite a few examples of games that nailed many aspects but left some weaknesses that look a lot worse just because of the contrast with the strong points of the game.
That pod racer scene looked so cool
It’s short but definitely cool. Used to love podracer on N64 and Dreamcast
short , simple , professional , honest.
just what I needed! great work GT!
Very nice in depth review. I really enjoyed the demo but also found the climbing a bit glitchy. Shame to see they didn't improve that since the demo but I still thought it was a very beautiful and pretty fun game
A VR game with such amazing graphics as Hubris should defo have a deep and immersive story!
I don't care about stories in games. If you want a good story, read a book. For me it's gameplay that matters.
Sounds like devs should produce bad looking games so that the bad story fits the visuals? 😅
Nah, I prefer better looks with bad story over both bad. 😶
@@GizmoMaltese what a dumb opinion
@@GizmoMaltese That's such a simple way to think. Gaming doesn't have to be whatever you define it as. The best thing about this medium is the ability to choose the kind of games you wish to play. Some of us like story-rich games and others don't. Clearly, this game wasn't made for you in mind.
Also, if you look up the best games ever made, the majority of them are single-player or single-player-centric titles which should tell you something about how the general consumer would feel about your narrow-minded take.
This game’s is incredible enough from a gameplay and graphics point of view
I completed it already and it's fun... but I was hoping for more than just a good looking shooter. I wanted so much more, not technically, but narratively, I wanted to care for the story and characters. It was all just a bit detached and soulless for me.
Sounds like we had a similar experience
@@GAMERTAGVR I know it's asking a lot... but while I play and enjoy many VR titles, Lone Echo and Alex H/L set the high water marks for AAA VR titles for me. I like Blade and Sorcery and Bone Works/labs, NMS VR port is very impressive. But Lone Echo and Alex H/L really shows how good VR can be imo and I want more of that.
We all do
I still had a blast. Through the cracks this game is good. No its not your tripple A/ HLA. But you cant expect that from an indie studio
@@TijnvanGimst Like I said, it looks great and plays great, I don't even mind the cracks. But the writing of the story and the character you play is something that would not have added additional costs of develpoment! The hard part was done, all they had to do was make us care for the journey.
Thanks for the review. After playing the demo, I got the impression, that Hubris was a shallow game, mostly focussing on graphics. Good to hear someone else say it.
Thanks for watching
Totally agree on the Halo comment. Felt the same when playing
Hollow such ashame one to play when it hits Viveport Infinity thanks for the review GT knew it wasnt going to be all good news considering the length of this video Artful
Loved the demo! If Xmas wasn't so close, I'd be buying all kinds of VR games, this one included.
Great review, thank you always for the no bs reviews 💪
My pleasure and thanks
Excellent review. I was really looking forward to Hubris even though I always thought it would look better than it would play; the demo was good but I wasn't blown away by it in any way other than good graphics. I still intend to play it, it looks great visually and gameplay seems good enough.
The real problem here though is the price; 40 euros for a 5-hour game??? What were they thinking? In all honesty there is no way to justify that kind of price when HL Alyx which is more than twice the length, and probably the quality, was that same price, or Saints and Sinners or many others.
At 25€, maybe even at 30€ I would purchase it on day 1 but with that short length I'm afraid I'll wait for a sale.
It does look pretty!
Great review man!. Honest, direct, informative. Loved it.
Thanks man 🤗
Great looking game. Thanks for sharing GT.
I just beat the game in about 7 hrs. I didn't even find the shotgun or machine gun lmao. I used the pistol the whole time and it was fine. It has the arena mode update but I can't find the will to play it. I had performance issues in a few spots. I'd maybe give the game a 7/10 but probably more a 6.5/10 with the performance bugs. Worth it on a 50% off sale which is how I got it. Good review GT
Great review GT, I remember back in the demo I thought this game was going to be amazing, but I was wrong sadly. It does look great though
Thanks for watching dude
Developer Cyborn has announced that they make an adult theme triple X title next called Pubris, short for Pube Bristle. The game will be released with special controllers with reinforced grip buttons.
Sounds perfect
HLA still is the best looking VR game in my opinion, but this one still looks pretty good
there are times where i felt i was playing the original halo.
I stopped the video at that point, bought the game, and then played the video again XD
What are your thoughts?
Solid review you saucy lump on luncheon meat!
Pretty much exactly what i thought from what iv seen do far n defo still worth a pick up iv just set my hopes a little lower is i eas expecting alyx levels from the first demos i saw
Let me know how you get on
Great breakdown
Pretty much what I expected from the game and I think I'll still pick it up despite the drawbacks
Great review! Been meaning to check this game out
Cheers big man
Appreciate this review. It's a shame how shallow most VR releases are. I'm absolutely an enthusiast and believer, but I've pretty much resigned to rhythm games, multiplayer games, and mods until there are more developers incentivized to get into the space.
I won't be buying it just in case it wasn't optimized well to run on my 1650 but it's nice to know what Ill be getting into when I reach this game again with a better spec device.
You can always refund if it doesn't run well. You have a two hour window. Seen on discord that they optimized it a little better.
I might just buy it to support them in making a new game with improvements. We need all the high quality games we can get in VR.
Great accurate review. I know the devs are still fixing things. I'm hopeful this will continue to improve. I also feel like every major AAA release from, for example, Bethesda has been way more glitchy than this indie title.
Loved the graphics of the demo, but personally I found it annoying and motion sickening at times with the climbing and jumping. But I'll still certainly give it a try. Is there a release date yet?
Released today, on Steam at least
there are settings for that
You should check my Hubris VR review as well - we have some bits in common, but do think there are other issues that shouldn't be overlooked ! Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
Thank you for sharing this with us. You did a great job describing the game, pros and cons. Thank you
Nice review dawg
Coming to PSVR2 this month. Looks like it gunna be good. Thanks for the review
Always honest reviews man. Love it 💪🏼
Fair and well done review, thank you! I got a bhaptics x40 vest, arms and headpiece, did you play with the vest? Any Details on which bhaptics pieces are supported, and what effects to expect? Guess I might wait with a purchase until some of the glitches and bugs are fixed, also a very steep pricetag for a 5 hour experience. Tempted to try it out though…
Hey Markus, thank you and I’ve done a video for the bHaptics TH-cam channel coming super soon showing interactions. With regards to waiting or not to buy it, if your not playing anything it’s a fun game and very good with bHpatics
they just dropped version 1.7. i can't find any issues with it so far.
Nice!
Once again, Gameplay is King.
Great and honest review as always GT🔥
The flying ball is not a AI though 😉
Nice review. I noticed it's dropping on PSVR2 so wanted to get an idea if it's worth picking up.
Quality review/content as ever. Thank you GT.
It's a bummer that you have to use the PCVR option to get the best gaming out of the Quest 2. I don't have a PC powerful enough for that to be an option. I'm still enjoying the games I've played so far but almost all the coolest stuff is only supported with PCVR... 😒
Hubris is coming to Stand alone
@@GAMERTAGVR happy to hear that. I wonder how downgraded the graphics will have to be on it. It does look like a lot of fun despite the issues you stated. Great channel btw!
It's not poppin up in my game library. I was going to buy and try it out too. 😬
It’s a PCVR title
It looks good but I'm disappointed with the length 4 and half to 6 hours is really short particularly in vr
I'm extremely disappointed that it is $40 for less than 5 hours of mediocre gameplay... I really wanted this game because of the swimming. The swimming in the demo was absolutely incredible to me. But it seems like swimming isn't s big part of the gsme. Im just sad im gonna have to skip this. Maybe a sale one day
The swimming is awesome. It’s not a massive part of the game but it’s still here.
I tried the PSVR2 demo today. It left me with a headache 🤷🏻♂️
i refunded it on steam after about 35 - 40 mins playing. I was getting so frustrated with the climbing where i would jump to a ledge and it seems my invisible legs hit first and bounced me backwards off it, that, or the 2 times i fell through the map when pulling myself up onto the top of a ledge. At that point i just lost the will to even wana play it anymore. Refunded it and went back into Startenders on the quest lol
Excellent review! Very clear and well presented
I bought and played through the game recently. Compared to this review, I found the game to be very stable. Which makes sense since they've had time to resolve the bugs, and they apparently did so. It wasn't glitchy at all for me. I didn't have problems climbing, etc.
The game is very very pretty, but as others have said, that's pretty much all Hubris has going for it. The game play is pretty meh and uninspired. It's as if the development team was all (very good) artists but no other significant skillsets on the team.
I highly recommend setting the game difficulty to maximum and turning off hints right away. At this setting, it's equivalent to what most games would label easy mode. Whereas the default difficulty is like the whole game is in tutorial mode.
I'm happy to have played all the way through the game. But it's not a game I would highly recommend or that I would recommend to most people. The main draw is the beautiful environments.
Thanks for the updated review. I’m hoping when it releases on PSVR2 I have a better experience
Good review
Thank you
Lovely, well written review. Nice one mush!
Thank you for the review, i'll be buying this game when it gets a 99.99% discount
It’s SOOOOOO PRETTY!! I’m obsessed. Ray tracing in VR!
Great review GT! I loved the demo. The issue I had was the climbing as you said! I was hoping they fixed that! I’ll probably end up buying it because I like to support small developers and because the “game” is beautiful. Thank you for another honest review GT! I can always rely on you to give detailed pro and cons! You rock!
This is a beautiful playground for modders.
Excellent review as always.
Well done mate, top notch review! I totally agree with everything here! []-)
Thanks my bro from another ho… mother
Great review. I appreciate your View and Opinion GT. 👍
Nice review. I have bought the game and I'm already started to be bored by having to jump from the floating rocks in the lake. I was nearly at the end, turned out I forgot to shoot one rock... so now I have to do it all over again... something I really don't like in a game is to repeat an action all over again. That's no progress and is dumb to me. But allas... I'll give it another try. It looks pretty enough to play and I just upgraded my computer to be able to play in high graphics... besides, I only paid less then 20$ for it (Thailand)... 😊😊
Just tried again.....booooooring!
Its on sale.
Great review as always. 👍
Excellent video bro..
Sounds great. I'll be picking it up for sure. I do think you were probably a little bit on the harsh side with the review. But, that's your prerogative. I still came away from the review with high expectations.
The game felt like halo because the combat was evolved?
can someone explain to me how a person who watches vr updates almost daily and knows about this project still has this game stored as "work in progress"
25 quid. I’m in.
Great review! Gameplay will always beat graphics.
I wish this visuals but star citizin game play😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Great accurate review, games not really for me... seems a bit on the gimmicky/corridory side and it being at 40 buck for 6 hours is harsh. However, a game of this Calibur by a little indy studio which hopefully break even or probably come out at a loss so should and needs to be supported on this (unfortunately still) niche PCVR market.
Yes! Game is very cool for VR! Best what's happened to VR this year! The only thing bad in this game is control and NO manual save! I've died 100+ times already...
How would you rate replayability?
Zero for me personally
@@GAMERTAGVR Thanks. >5 hours of gameplay is woeful for the asking price, I'll be waiting for a hefty discount.
You said it took you 4 hours complete? at $40? Wow. 4 hour length in my mind is worth ~$15. Maybe 20 if everything clicks. I don't understand why devs do this. if they sell 1500 copies at 40 they'd sell 15000 at 15. Even if they're greedy it doesn't make any sense. It doesn't matter how great an experience you think you created for someone if no one play it. Especially for a 1st title from an Indy dev. What better way to foster good will and gain an audience than to have an affordable game that is accessible to a huge group of people.
To me what your saying makes complete sense especially the part with making a name for yourself. I can see a price drop happening very soon
What kind of system is this running on?
It looks nice, but the gameplay seems a little lacking. Perhaps they'll build on it and make something better.
In VR, interaction and gameplay are king - which I feel is the opposite to current mainstream gaming. Plus, good art direction can make a game aesthetically pleasing without it being ultra realistic.
Thank u for the video
Thanks for watching Elayo
@@GAMERTAGVR it is my pleasure
can see why this game is hyped up, but it doesn’t look like it’s for me. For one the lighting seems to have the “AAA brightness” problem where there isn’t any harsh lighting making it to where it has no atmosphere. The gameplay seems to have taking a back seat so that people can take a look at the pretty visuals like Boneworks and it’s physics. I mostly feel this way because it looks too easy. This is an issue a lot of VR games have when it comes to gameplay. (This could admittedly probably be summarized because I’m your stereotypical hardcore gamer).
The climbing makes me sick
Do I need a pc to play this game
Currently yes
it's a cool VR game yea , while i'm still struggling to hit anything with this stupid gun after hours XD and i'm still not sure if it's me or the gun , haha
For $40 it should be longer than 4.5hrs
Can u teleport?
This is so disappointing. Thanks for the heads up
My pleasure dude. Sorry to disappoint you
You have tags of "a wolf in vr" and "quest 2". Talk about spamming the tags. You know as well as everyone that this is never coming to Quest 2.
4.5 hours… :/
4.5 for me. Everyone is different but I can’t report on someone elses
Waiting for b haptic support
There is
Must be Quest 2 PCVR, looks a little muddy.
I don’t think Quest is the issue, I think in game parts are recorded on PC, not grabbed from Quest headset.
Couldn't even finish the demo, it's a no for me
the start was kinda deceiving.
Such a wasted potential. There is very little game on this graphically pleasing experience. I get that it's a first VR game for the developer... But I think they didn't even play any VR game. Too bad because it could really be something engaging. The world design is very nice ( but the level design is very bad 😔)... Maybe Hubris 2 will actually be a game 🙂
画质天花板
VR is kind of disappointing not gonna lie........ crazy how good HLA and Boneworks can be BUT we get nothing else as good.
I was really hoping this game was on Half Life Alyx level. Disappointing it's not. Have been waiting forever for this game to drop. We just got the new Saints and Sinners on Quest and now this. The new TWD 2 game on the quest is almost a copy of the first. Those two games I've been waiting forever for that were a letdown. Maybe when TWD 2 comes out on PC it will be better.
I feel you dude. TWD2 on PCVR is a lot better
@@GAMERTAGVR were you able to play it on PC? I know it doesn't come out to the public until February
I dont think hubris was a let down. You cant possibly expect tripple a gameplay from an indie studio. I'd suggest you lower your expectations for indie studios. If you start comparing Alyx to Hubris then yes you'll be let down. But to be honest. Hubris was exactly what i thought it would be. An amazingly beautiful yet flawed vr game that had an absolute blast in.
Also. Its cyborns first vr game ever. In other words, its their first game in general.
@@TijnvanGimst I understand what you mean. But the way this game was being promoted and everyone talking about it, it was going to be a massive game. I don't think it's bad or anything. I was just expecting more from everything I read and heard.
Please consider Half-Life Alyx cost Valve about $29,000,000 to $75,000,000 to develop, so not a fair comparison imo
refunding it already i just cant have these short vr games we are about to go into 2023 and vr is starving for content
Then support the few devs out there.
