Was very interested in the game but without the resolution bump I'm not sure I'll invest. After playing dark matter 2 and seeing how beautiful and immersive that game is, I've become a resolution snob
Great review. Im hyped for this, never played BC2. I loved the locomotion on psvr1, i thought it felt super strategic and unqiue. Im curious to see if smooth loco spoils that feeling i had first time around. Hopefully there will be a post release patch for resolution soon. That seems to be the trend lately. I could never get past that penultimate level on BC1 where you have to avoid the unkillable enemy.. hopefully ill do it now!
Why wont it let me buy it?? Says it released today, i go to buy it and it tells me "you cant buy this because you havent bought Budget Cuts Ultimate yet" which makes no damn sense at all *UPDATE* its June 2nd..and I still cant purchase it*
In terms of the resolution issues, I have the PC version, which has the same resolution (at least from what I’ve seen in the video), the PC versions of the games also have the various addons you mentioned like smooth locomotion and the arcade mode. I get the as you say “dated” feel you get from the visuals, but I personally prefer the simpler look, because often times higher detailed games tend to look overly cluttered to me. As for the lack of gameplay differences from 1-2, this was probably more necessary then you think because a sequel being too different can EASILY piss people off. An extreme example is COD Advanced Warfare, and a more fair example is Hotline Miami 2, where a good few people didn’t like the higher focus on guns in comparison to the first games heavily melee focus (at least from what I’ve seen). A good TLDR probably is that making a sequel is a pain for developers.
A lazy Quest port that doesn't take advantage of the PSVR2 graphics, short, which wastes the time of people that played the first one on PSVR by making them play it again to unlock the second part.... and 7/10? If that is what earns a 7/10 on PSVR2 then the platform is in dire shape. Context matters: Zelda Tears of the Kingdom gets a 10/10 because its running on Switch. But on PS5 that game would get probably an 8/10 for the technical limitations and graphical style. So yeah, I do think that the game has to take advantage of the hardware to earn a score at 7/10.
Fun factor and game polish pushed this to a 7. Context does matter, and for what this game was attempting to deliver on, I still think it deserves a 7. - Chris
"A lazy Quest port" This is a port of a PCVR game. This Ultimate version is also releasing for Quest 2, but the 2 ports were developed simultaneously, and unless I'm mistaken, it was actually the other way around, the Quest 2 version was downgraded from the "base" PSVR2 version. Also, by that logic, do all retro-styled games get low scores? Would Shovel Knight be a 0/10 because it looks like an NES game?
@@CricetoFunnifor some reason a lot of VR “enthusiast” tend to have an obsession of games looking realistic and charmless. Maybe it’s my indie game bias showing, but I feel like this stupid ass obsession is more of a detriment to VR then mobile VR ever was.
You can sort of play anything seated. set your floor level, go into the game, hit the menu button and go to accessibility and there's an option that will add to your height. Don't remember what it's called.
Just by having smooth locomotion makes this a huge W
Yeah
Just discovered this channel and have to say the reviews are an example to other content creators, informative, interesting really well presented.
Much appreciated

How was he running around?
Go to the settings and turn on smooth locomotion.
Wait when did this release???
Today
1 June 2023
does he ever do reviews for Oculus only games?
If they come out and are worth covering, sure
Will it come to PSVR
Psvr 2...highly doubt it.
