Seems to be much better and more polished then when I played the demo on PCVR a while back. Enjoying it on PSVR2 so far. I definitely recommend starting on the highest difficulty
Thanx for this. Setting to hardest as soon as it loads
Still giving the best reviews, man you save ppl so much money lol. You being so honest also helps shape the gaming industry by pretty much telling VR devs in general step it up, that VR games could be better and it’s something I’ve always admired. Gaming and film industry as a whole has lost a ton of passion. I might get hate for saying it but these days it’s been more about the money than the product. AT LEAST vr games aren’t $59.99 usd
Thanks for watching and that’s high praise
Agreed - lots of over hyping in the vr community and im glad GT keeps it real - we need first party Sony
@@jakkudemoff3043hanks guys. It’s really means alot.
@JustFacts85042 my pleasure mate 🫡
The eject ammo at will is on its way in the next patch, some vr sets are out of buttons so we need to be creative on how to implement it
As I said. Click R3
@@GAMERTAGVRbut can you click on meta controllers?
@@julien2231 Erm... yes you can 😂
@@QiVR42 l3 r3 i mean... do they have those?
R3 for psvr2 and point down on right stick for others who don't have r3
“THREE AND A HALF HOURS” ??? I’m seven hours in and it says I’m at 62% done. [EDIT: Took me over 11 hours to beat!] Wow - I’m guessing that I sought out and found more hidden nooks and crannies than you. I’m also playing on the hardest difficulty setting (recommended), so maybe I’m simply dealing with more enemies than you did? 🤔
The graphical clarity doesn’t come close to RED MATTER 2, and should not be thought of as similar.
[EDIT: HUBRIS defaults to a blurry setting! Go to settings and find a slider under “Visuals” that lets you sharpen the image. 😮]
I’m obviously not done yet, but I gotta say I’m having a lot of fun. The lack of feet never once bothered me, so the fact that you cite it at all - much less as a review modifier - is baffling to me.
I’ve found plenty of jank that I’m shocked you didn’t touch upon… the climbing is sketchball and when leaping for a ledge I’m just as likely to pull fruit out of my backpack while falling to my death.
Placing materials in the recyclers can be frustrating as well when pulling them from your backpack menu (I’ve since learned that pulling items directly from over your shoulder is a smoother process).
There were a couple of times when I got stuck in the environment and had to reload, but the autosaves are frequent so I was never sent too far back.
I also didn’t recall the game ever mentioning any way of swapping weapon types, so after I bought the shotgun (which I’m terrible with) it seemed like I couldn’t get my pistol back until I had gathered enough to upgrade again at a gun station. This led to multiple deaths due to my incompetence, but I eventually checked the controller layout and learned how to swap. Still, I can’t be the only one that wrestled with this.
Also, using two hands on your pistol instantly gives you a laser dot that effectively turns it into a sniping weapon - again, something I never heard mentioned and just stumbled into. The iron sights already work great, but the laser dot is welcome.
Even though I don’t know how the remainder of the game is, and jank aside, it’s pretty nicely priced, and I’d say it’s a must-buy on PSVR2.
As always, great video. I believe the music you speak of was added to PSVR2 version & will be added to PCVR version very soon.
Interesting
Honesty as always as well as the vid m8 & forever- GG GT! 👊😎
Great review gt! In depth and appreciate the time and effort giving an honest review. Im going to pick this up eventualy , but not until i finish the backlog i have piling up.
Thanks!!
What I want to know is how sharp it is compared to Red Matter 2? Great review btw!
Red Matter is sharper
@@GAMERTAGVRthe Red Matter 2 devs are using some kinda witchcraft… they gotta share their secrets. Haha…..
@@GAMERTAGVR how the... xD
Its going to be tough to beat Red Matter 2
I hope the red matter guys are making another game
Nice review! Been going through your channel as I’ve got a PSVR2 arriving tomorrow, can’t wait to try this along with GT7 and Pavlov
And Resident Evil 8. You have to play Resident Evil 8 on VR2
Yes you do!!
Thanks, GT. Always appreciate your insight. Everything you said sounds like it would be a great game for me and I feel like I will be able to overcome the shortcomings of the game.
Go for it. Have fun
Good review as always man. I was also a bit disappointed by the PCVR version and even made a video about it a while ago. No doubt it looks great, but definitely they could have done more.
Fair review GT. I'm gunna grab this just so I can experience the visuals I know my pc wont deliver.
Fair enough. I would choose RedMatter 2 though if you want a visual treat
@GAMERTAGVR if I hadn't already already played through RM2 I'd grab it for sure. I got RM2 off you actually lol nice one bro!
You will play more synapse When it realases right? Really excited sometimes, for the synapse game😅
Synapse Review in the works
Bit of a newcomer to your channel. Cheers for all your consistent content!!
Thanks to your reviews I purchased the likes of Red Matter 2 for my PSVR2.
The VR scape ahead for us is looking good! 👍
You know it and thanks for watching
Thanks for the review… it’s what it looks like. Not a bad thing! Really enjoyed ‘Red Matter2’ and despite the game not being that long memories will stay of the various puzzle solving moments. It’s also very pretty. I think I’ll grab this at some point, play it through, and enjoy it.
At the moment though I’m totally into Surv1v3….
Thanks again GT on the informed reviews.
I’ll check out Surv1v3
I been playing surv1v3 too i just hate how you have to toggle the grab function
I want to see more games that use both of your hands. Like in BioShock where you have a weapon in your right hand and plasmids in your left.
Synapse is the game for you
Bioshock is such a perfect fit for VR it's almost a crime that the owners of the IP won't make it happen.
To lessen reprojection DO NOT use the right thumbstick to turn but turn in real life. The lead is an issue for the first 10 minutes or so but trust me you soon get used to it and the immersion is so much better plus no reprojection.
Kinda like RE8 then?
I know this but with PSVR2 being wired this isn’t a great alternative for most players and some have to play seated. The reprojection is ok by the way
@@GAMERTAGVRThe lead really isn't an issue anyone who says it is needs to take a good long hard look at their life. ;)
@@minners71 Mate! I know right! wired or nothing for me. Cables are everything to me.
Looks interesting, but it's too close to Synapse releasing. Maybe down the road.
Hot dang, this game looks amazing. Definitely a pick-up from me.
Superb review you covered everything always like listening to your reviews very honest and informative keep up the great work 👌
Thanks Alan
Great review and Thank-you!. Shame about the lack of haptics though. Hopefully that will be patched.
Great review GT I learnt a lot more about Hubris in this video.
Thanks dude! Appreciate you watching
Great review as always gt most reviews are overhyping this game good to see you being honest a usual.just wondered why you gave the American price of 29.99 dollars and not the uk price of £24.99.
It’s what they always quote. Rarely do devs use pounds. I stick to this and if someone goes to the store they’ll see it converted correctly
@GAMERTAGVR thanks for the reply gt interesting to know👍
6.8 feels like a solid review score. Very much enjoyed listening to your thoughts on it. Keep up the amazing work GT
Thanks dude x appreciate you as always
Fair score for a Re-review actually. Certainly one I'll be pi king up at some point but it's so darn hot right now there's not a. Lot of VR time available 😆.
I tried downloading a copy into my PS5 on the morning it was supposed to be released, but it still wasn't available. Get with it Sony! Gamers don't like to wait.
Best VR reviews man.. watching from Brazil.🤙
Looks like a very high quality indie game. Bit short though - pity they could have expanded the hours with more difficulty levels / challenges
Honestly, I can’t see anyone getting through this game in 3.5 hours unless speed running. I’m at over seven hours already and it says I’m 62% done.
FWIW, I picked this up the other night. Have put in roughly 3 hours and console says I'm 38% done. Game is great, honestly one of the best VR games I've ever played.
@@jankmedia1985 - Right?? It’s not exactly innovative, but it does so much so well! Incidentally, I didn’t know the following until I had finished it, but the game defaults to slightly blurry. If you check in Settings, there’s something called “VISUALS” or similar that has a slider for clarity. Slide that fucker all the way up and you’ll enjoy a small but noticeable upgrade in the image quality! Really weird choice. 😂
Also strange how much hate this game gets. There are people who seem bent on steering others away from this cool little title.
It gets better as you go, too… I felt satisfied at the end (I think it took me shy of eleven hours, but I explored for every hidden cache).
Incidentally, if you get stuck on the area with the force field domes, try backtracking. That area is fun, but confusing.
Also, the game is probably best on highest difficulty.
You do click in the right thumbstick to reload, and then push in the cartridge.
Nice video. Is there the ability to change weapon hands in the game? I have been annoyed to find some vr games don't and its a deal breaker for me as I'm a leftie.
yes simply press triangle or circle
@GAMERTAGVR brilliant thank you.
Great review, GT! I really wanted to like hubris, but the visuals are my only big takeaways. I really want a better baseline for combat in a VR game where the enemies are aggressive, intelligent, and do significant damage in a fair way such that you really have to struggle to survive. Most of these AI are too much like window dressing and something to do between important plot points, not an experience of their own accord.
Thanks for watching. As I said. It’s passable but you’re definitely aware these guys aren’t a challenge
You can eject and reload the mag by pressing down on the right joystick
Does it look sharper than Village or CotM? Village was blurry AF with so many jaggies. Also does it look sharper than Synapse or S&S Retribution?
I think Synapse does look a bit sharper but visually this is a treat is some places
You thought re8 was blurry?!!😂😂
@@leonkennedy3398 from what I played in the demo it was pretty jarring
If you want sharp, play RED MATTER 2. No other title on all of PSVR2 comes close.
HUBRIS is a bit blurry (not as sharp as S&S), but after a bit you get used to it and the game is quite enjoyable.
Art design is excellent, but the softness undercuts it somewhat. It’s the gameplay that makes this good.
Great review! Thanks for using a score 👍🏻
Which one should I buy synapse or hubris ? Which one better ?
Synapse 100%.
I’ll be reviewing Synapse asap
That's my dilemma
@GAMERTAGVR when does embargo lift?
A could've would've should've impression of this game for me would've had this at a 7.8-8.
If you're saying it's a 6.8 i think I'd be disappointed. 30 quid is still 30 quid.
Are the effects of reprojection in this worse than RE Village and Horizon?
No the reprojection is fine
I had heard that the reprojection was rough on this game, but it’s nowhere near as bad as CotM. I’m not super-sensitive to it, so your mileage may vary.
I wonder if smooth-movement speeds make it more or less noticeable… I’ve got it set a bit below the highest turning speed, and the top movement speed (controller-based, not head-based).
It’s a bit blurry. I’m acclimating to it, but my last game was RED MATTER 2, so every other game looks blurry by comparison. 😂
A really fun shooter, though. This game throws a lot of variety into the mix… a bit of jumping platforming, janky climbing, satisfying swimming, combat, and some light environmental puzzling.
EDIT: There’s a setting in “VISUALS” that lets you sharpen the image, which is - maddeningly - defaulted to blurry. 😂
3:20. U can push in right d pad to reload.
Great review! Can’t wait to play on Hard mode.
I would advise it
I was expecting it to be above average, nothing more. Will wait for a sale.
It IS above average. Put difficulty to highest setting, and this is a very respectable game at an affordable price, imho.
At a little more than halfway through I feel I’ve gotten enough fun for the cost already. I’m seven hours into it and it says 62% complete.
For under $40, I think this thing is in the sweet spot.
@@CHROME-COLOSSUS well yes, i expected it but i didnt say i would buy at that price.
@@julien2231 - Maybe I misunderstood your comment... I’m really digging this game so far and it seems like a way better deal than STAR WARS TALES or HORIZON CotM while delivering comparable (or superior) quality.
🍻
@@CHROME-COLOSSUS i dont agree about call of the mountain. That game looks gorgeous the atmosphere is top of the line. I will play hubris but will wait for 20$ cad. Not in a hurry :)
@@julien2231 - I quite enjoyed CotM (and played all the way through it), but the cost was inflated, even if you got the bundle.
Even though I’m still not finished playing HUBRIS, I can easily say that it delivers a gameplay experience that matches it.
The climbing in HUBRIS is not as good as in CotM, but it also doesn’t baby-slow time when you jump to catch a ledge. The swimming is superb, though. There’s also full movement agency when in battle, not some dumb baby-strafing circle.
I haven’t encountered any large boss in HUBRIS, but the enemies sometimes are great enough in number that you have to keep your ears open and your head on a swivel (at least in the highest difficulty). The aiming is perfect, with iron sights that work and a friendly laser dot that appears when you two-hand it.
The graphics of both are excellent, but a bit blurry further away. CotM has more visual complexity, but it has far worse reprojection issues. HUBRIS has some outstanding environmental design and delivers more variety. CotM has the appearance of bigger vistas, but HUBRIS lets you explore larger areas of what you can see, and includes many hidden areas that let you hoard extra junk to level up your weapons.
I don’t at all mean to dismiss CotM, so don’t think that’s what I’m doing. I think it’s an underrated title and that most people that are disparaging about it have not actually completed it.
But HUBRIS is easily as much fun, it’s far more consistently fun, and it offers plenty of cool sights that rival any feelings of awe I ever got in CotM - but at a fraction of the cost.
Like beyond well done man 🤟
This is will probably still be a game I’ll skip. For some reason the games with the best graphics tend to be stupidly boring to me (an example I have that I had similarly thoughts to as you did to this game is Tom Raider 2013), although that might just be a bias towards cartoony styled games and indie games (as I’ve probably shown a LOT). To be fair to the game and devs though, I’m glad they’re trying to fix the game though.
Not boring, this one. Set difficulty to high. HUBRIS mixes a variety of gameplay, constantly switching it up. Sometimes the enemies are so numerous that your head’s on a swivel and your ears are open.
I’m not one to normally play games on anything but normal, but I heard it recommended to crank it on this title. I can’t imagine enjoying it as much on a lower setting.
Far from boring, I’d say.
Frankly I had thought I was gonna be wowed by the graphics, not the game. The opposite is true - the graphics are a bit blurry but the art direction is sound. I was a bit underwhelmed at first. The sight of planets out a spaceship window had nothing like the impact of RED MATTER’s opening near Saturn.
But the game is FUN, and that’s been my biggest takeaway so far.
Thanks for the review GT, shame about the reprojection. After hearing the devs comments in the AMA I was surprised to hear it wasnt great. Do you think they have pushed it out as is because of a upcoming sony update???
It’s fine with the setting I used. It’s better than previous offerings
The upcoming update news is old. Sony have been updating PSVR2 since launch to improve the software and they will continue to do so. The developer said an update is coming but we don’t know when, he doesn’t know. I’m still wondering why he said it. Maybe he was trying to push any potential kickback from using reprojection to Sony OR it’s a nice little headline for channels to share about the game potentially leading to more interest. Either way, seems like bullshit. I didn’t fall for it and of course Sony are updating PSVR2 throughout its lifecycle. Besides the reprojection is fine. Would I like native instead though. 100%
@@GAMERTAGVR thanks for the reply gt, appreciated :)
Even if you don't enjoy the story, please don't some up stories like that again.some of us enjoy them no matter how weak they may be. Actually, i just stopped the review half way through. There are ways to REVIEW a game without revealing certain details just because you want to crap on them. Save that for like a seperate opinion filled rant video or a deeper dive video. Jake baldino, ACG, and even angry joe do this very well in their videos and offer companion videos for that.
So you want a review with no story explained? I want to understand how to deliver what your asking. Can you send me examples please
I actually find the story pretty interesting about the planets.
At the 1 minute mark, you start giving more information about the story that we can get in game, I'm not sure how much info you end up giving as I fast forward through that part. I watch quite a bit of reviews and tend to avoid the ones where the reviewers start giving too much info. One of the worst at this is angry joe. He can't review a game or movie without revealing way too much about the plot even in his spoiler free reviews. There are Guys who cover story elements without giving away info, like ACG, skill up, and Jake Baldino. Copying their format for reviewing games is not a bad place to start at all.
Its 6pm on the 22nd in the Uk , but the playstation store is still showing it as unreleased and releasing on the 22nd.... wtf....
It released an hour later and will be available now
@GAMERTAGVR thanks GT. Weird time of day to release. But at least it's here in time for the weekend
Great review gt,£30 feels a bit steep ,definitely a sale purchase in my book .
If they can iron out some of those grabbing objects bugs and sort out the haptics they'll be making a good update on the title 👍🍻
I promise you 30 is not steep for this. It’s nowhere close to being as pretty as RED MATTER 2 (and is quite blurry by comparison), but the art design is solid. While it has a few rough edges, so far I’ve been deeply impressed by the range of gameplay it delivers.
I’ve got the difficulty set to high, and it has felt nicely challenging. I’m not someone that rushes through a game I’m enjoying, so I’m constantly exploring and this game rewards you by cleverly hiding a lot of raw upgrade materials in hidden corners. This means I’m moving more slowly than this reviewer (clearly), but I’m already logged at twice the length that he says it takes to complete - and it says I’m 62% done.
Even with its jank and blurriness, I feel that this one is easily a must-buy at this price.
I’m rather baffled the TH-cam reviewers are so all-over-the-place.
@@CHROME-COLOSSUS i think the reviews might be all over the place because some have found the gameplay doesn't live up to the visuals,and also maybe it has no replay value,but I'll probably take the plunge after i treat myself to pavlov 👍
Well done man 🤟
Cheers mate x thank you for the message too
Hubris vs. Red Matter 2?
Red Matter 2
Red Matter 2 is absolutely bananas. Doing the electrical circuit puzzle was surreal. I know there are bigger wow moments in the game. However, there was something about doing one of those puzzles, as I have done countless times in other games before, but doing it as if you're really there, that made me feel a certain way. I can't explain it. I'm brand new to VR, but have been playing video games since Atari. Got a PSVR2 for Father's Day. It's wild shit. I thought it was more of a novelty. It is NOT.
Great vid
Anyone know why why hubris is not on the ps store
It’s there now and was one hour late
Very good review.
Thanks for a great review
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 🙂
They didn't see their planets colliding into each other lmfao How do you miss that? Just watched without parolse review and left their thinking it was a definite buy but after your review I'm now going to wait.
Sorry to complicate thing but yeah imagine arguing so much you missed something like that
The game is really good. I haven’t finished it yet (7 hrs in at 62%), but a dumb story beat like that isn’t something you’ll likely care about. Honestly I’ve barely paid attention to the dialogue because I’m usually distracted by other things.
I think there’s enough jank and blurriness that a 9 seems high to me, but wow do I recommend this game.
I’m easily enjoying it as much as (or more than) HORIZON CotM, but at a much cheaper price.
I hate to think people who enjoy shooters, adventures, or sci-fi would give this title a pass. It’s solid.
I DONT UNDERSTAND, why you’re channel subs has remained stagnant, you’re CONTENT HAS WAY BETTER INFO that over 70% of other vr TH-camrs, something dodgy is going on
Been going a long time but lack of list videos, hype, news and click bait all adds up to slow gains but I’m good. If someone like yourself finds me it’s all good.
Good review
Looks like another average VR game that you wouldn't give a second glance at if it was a flat screen game.
Another creator who won’t cover this game said EXACTLY that
@@GAMERTAGVR How come they won't cover it GT?
Thank you GT.
Dual planet = butt
Planet Butt
0.1 points short of a perfect score
Interesting! The lowest score of all reviews I’ve seen so far.
Don’t know what to say. We’re all different gamers
This is what i want on my quest 2 dammit 😅
Review coming today
Don’t know about you, but I find the combat in these types of games a little dumbed down, Red Matter 2 felt the same, the environments and all the technical stuff is well executed and looks stunning and then the combat feels like you’re up against manakins, you really feel like you’re in danger, might just be me
Great review bro.
I played the PC demo a while and it did not live up to the hype. Actually it kind of sucked.
I just got this game for psvr2 and it's rubbish it' glitches and it's boring save your money guys .
$10 an hour… I’d rather wait for a deep discount… 😕
Most people it takes 6-7 hours to beat. This is his 2nd playthroough so he rushed through it
👎👎👎
Nah, I'll pass and think there's better games out and to be released.
To the little safespace fan boys, I don't care if this post upsets up.
This upsets me very much. Please delete this comment
@@leonkennedy3398 Another first-class clown
This guy keeps saying PCVR it’s PSVR😂
So… not as good as Farpoint?
🤔 Farpoint back in the day was amazing but not sure how it would stack up now. The story of Farpoint was a massive pull for me. That a tough one. This is an ok game. Farpoint in 2018/19 was a brilliant game
@@GAMERTAGVR oof. That says it all. Yeah, Farpoint back when it first released was really something. Probably the only game that drew me in so much I finished it without getting distracted by any other other game.
