The most inspiring VRChat world I've seen

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ย. 2022
- Sword Art Online is FINALLY here with the fan-recreation in VRChat: Project Aincrad (unaffiliated). Their group, Argus, is doing the work of an indie game studio for free, just out of love of experiencing the game. The anime takes place in 2022, so it’s fitting that although we don’t have “full-dive” yet… you can experience it on PCVR or Quest! :D Virtual Reality is AWESOME.

![Best Places to see in VRCHAT! [Quest & PC] feat. Thrillseeker](/img/n.gif)
I can feel my dreams of becoming a VR hermit is getting closer 😂
World looks super dope
Same bro I'm already a VR addict
Treehouse boys plug in
I already spend entire days in VR, when an SAO type game actually comes out ohh lord I'm gonna be in there for days... maybe even weeks
If that’s your dream then that’s really sad
@@YAMIKATTT woah wth, weeks?! Days?! Thats crazy
I remember checking out Project Aincrad once before, and I just fell in love with it. I know there wasn’t much but my first thought after playing a few minutes is “I can’t wait for this to be further along in progress. I know it will take time, but I can wait because I know the more time they take the better it will be”
@Pelinal Whitestrake this is a fan made mod basically so it's getting through some technical challenges in the engine or platform more than the duke nukem forever hell loop
@Pelinal Whitestrake you are right, time spent doesn’t always relate to quality. But when you have a team as dedicated as them, who have a passion for what they are making, the more time you give them the more time they have to increase the quality. It is also a fan game so there isn’t too much to worry about with disagreements and management. If it takes a long time to get a simple issue done then yes there is some bad management or something, but if it takes a long time for a lot of things that is better. I will provide 2 game examples, 1 bad and 1 good. Railroads Online, they had a bug that broke multiplayer servers after a certain number of trees were cut down, and it affected a lot of people. Their response, wait a few months then fix it (bad management and bad use of time when it was an easy fix). Next example, Dyson Sphere Program. They just delayed their next major update from this year to some time next year, the combat update, so they can make it better and higher quality for their community (Good example). What determines if it is a bad use of time is what they are working on, and how easy what they are working on is. If an easy fix takes forever that is bad, but if a major update takes forever then they are making it the best they can.
I did not mean for this to be a wall of text
Crossing my fingers this doesnt turn into star citizen
@@Falcodrin if it turns into star citizen then I'm sure someone will make a version that won't.
@@Thematchma69 wait until tomorrow
New objective: get a vr set.
Side story: Get the money for it.
I remember when I first entered Aincrad when it only begun, I thought to myself: "It might go two ways. Either it'll get abandoned and stay completely unfinished or it will be the best VR MMO that ever existed". Seeing how it goes now, I'm glad that developers chose to pick second way
yeah it's amazing game now. Do u still play it btw ?
@@amirbarjakli3383 No, but I'm planning to when I'll get VR headset
@@amirbarjakli3383id be super interested to play it once i get my hands on a quest 3
When people say that humans are only motivated by profit, show them this. An entire world created only of love and passion.
theyll prob add transacitons in it worlds have patreon only shit
Vrchat is really becoming the framework for the metaverse.
because it gives the users freedom. Unlike the other self-proclaimed shitshow "metaverse"
@@donutello_ and actually look good.
@@donutello_ Freedom? The last big thing they did was against freedom. And I'm pretty sure in the future they will want to see even more things not on their platform as it becomes more commercial. Copyright protected material could also be something like that.
It has always been.
yes, its a framework like the internet was, now people shouldnt let corporate get the metaverse or we will lose this freedom and go back to modern internet, boring, full of corporations making everything a pattern
I know full dive is super unrealistic but I really hope it’ll exist some day soon. Sao is not only what got me interest in vr but what got me into anime. There’s no doubt full dive would completely change the world as we know it
Its being worked on and is predicted to be in existance sometime in the next 20 years.
Not really unrealistic. The way it was done in the anime, sure, somewhat exaggerated. But the concept can be achieved with more research into the tech. Some of the tech exists now, but not for consumer vr hardware. Mostly in testing for medical hardware. But if predictions are true, in the next 20 years, we may see something such as full dive vr. Who knows how itll actually be. But itll be 100% worth it if it comes even 60% close to nervegear in the anime.
Sao was my first anime since I was into video games back then, and inspired me to try out VR
Its possible considering they say its also possible in the far far future to do space hyperjump. But the full dive vr could be possible in our generation or if not then the next one
@Can’t think of a good channel name. I'd have to see it to believe it and even then I'd have doubts. Dont get me wrong, I'd absolutely love to have full dive, I'd sell a limb for it. But, I just dont think we are close enough to have what the real full dive is supposed to be.
Much love to project aincrad and people with passion to highlight VR true potential ! The zucks of the world think they are meta but these people and phia represent the true idea of meta !
meta is a bad and misleading name for it. there are better ones that I can't remember
I mean sure if you're into weeb sh!t. It's a shame nobody is making a truely free firm VR world that won't be a waifu sh1t collector.
Fvk the zucks, they are too aggressive at trying to take credit and control of something created by the community
So true! I still refuse to call facebook meta lol
You should check out BONELAB, I think that one truly highlights VR true potential. Ive seen video covering about it, its a stand alone
Oh my god this is something I’ve been waiting for my entire life we’re almost getting there
I've been waiting for 3 years for something like that to exist
you're 12? also, as far as getting full dive that's probably 40+ years away considering how little we understand avout the brain and how hard it would be to recreate the nerve gear (wireless communication with the brain). if you wanted it with possible major health complications, tens of thousands of dollars of surgeries and visibile metal ports on your body to plug cords into, and a relatively high chance of being paralyzed, you could probably join a trial run in 25-30 years 💪💪 get that bread so you can afford it when it happens
@@blygreene9807 PCs and phones were a rare thing to have mere 20 years or so ago. Now we develop and utilise AIs (even though they are not really that) as tools, progress Will be much further than that in 40 years, in my somewhat ignorant opinion
@@naganwhat8364 You're absolutely right that technology has an exponential curve, but in my opinion it's straight up just the lack of information we have on how the brain works coupled with how little progress we've made in the last 20 years on understanding the brain plus all the hoops a company would have to jump through. Like for human trials involving brain surgery it'd probably be 6 months to a year of just legal work before they could even start. Any complications at all would set them back super far in funding from public backlash too so it'd have to be a company with a huge backer funding them plus a public release would probably only happen after like 10 years of trials on the human tester to make sure it's not going to cause long-term brain damage or anything like that. Like if we're just straight talking our best team of scientists worldwide working on it with no legal or funding requirements we could probably get it out and semi-safe in 10-15 years but they have better things to spend their time looking into so idk I just think it's pretty far off sorry I started rambling a bit
Vrchat kinda seems like the seed in sao tbh. people were stuck in it for a year or so (due to covid) and now there are tons of different worlds you can explore, from shooters to nature walks.
Fulltime Games Industry DEV here - Can only say this is very impressive, especially taking into consideration this is based on VRCs constraints for shaders and mesh sizes. ❤
I've never heard of the anime itself, but I can tell it made huge history, that's for sure. Big props to the small team who put together that whole map together ALL INSIDE VRCHAT! That's just... WOW. 😨 Beyond impressive.
If only they recreated it on a actual VR game that u can download and not inside VRchat
I was telling someone the other day that the coolest thing about VR chats world and Avatar design system is that it actually uses the unity engine meaning you can create entire games inside VR chat it just takes people getting together as a group to do it the thing is vrchat is a similar platform to Roblox but has more of an emphasis on socializing but due to the fact that it has the building blocks of using a game engine that you're freely allowed to use you can create games inside of your chat it's just people don't do it as often because there aren't a lot of developers making worlds at least not on the quest side actively. And even though there are some on the PC side who make some really cool things there's no one other than the project aincrad that I know of that is making something as big or as ambitious as this as much as it's possible people that are actually experienced enough to make amazing things with the unity engine are more likely to make their own games rather than make something in VR chat but I do wish that more people who knew how to make games with the unity engine would make cool things like this.
You need to go watch it now =p even though there’s lots of haters on SAO, it’s still the best. It’s not unique yes, but who cares. It’s a great immersive story. Don’t listen to self-entitled critics
@@nillyeg what’s the difference? As ling as you can play who cares on how you play it?
@@JM-zh6zd True I guess
I love the Idea of Sword Art Online being an ACTUAL Thing in VR, especially In VRChat! 😲
I had NO IDEA this existed and I just want to say THANK YOU for this video! I'm absolutely going to get on VR chat tonight to check this out
seeing this video in my recommendations made my heart crush in nostalgia, i used to be a "guild" leader back during the first input of the pvp system of project aincrad and built up an alliance of at least 300 members lasting up to a year so this makes me extremely happy to see project aincrad being put more into the light like this, very nice job!
I cannot express enough how amazing this whole thing is
Love to see Project Aincrad getting the coverage it deserves!
Imagine having a attack system based on how fast you swing. A VR sword.
the pvp system doesn't let you just swing over and over like before, theres a forced delay between attacks
@@QreeWii thats unfortunate
@@dimsum_7849 not really, its actually a really fun system and works out much better than the previous one where "fights" could run on for hours on end. the delay only stops attacks from dealing damage for a short period of time so that the fights dont end in like 10 seconds, so its a good feature in my opinion
@@QreeWiiso… ironically less like actual swordfights
Hopped into call with Freaky Old Man and several others the other day. It was an absolute *Blast* speaking to everyone. The passion for the project and the sheer quality of the work they've put out is insane.
I really want to thank you making this video, ever since you made this I've been on project Aincrad almost every day. I got to join a guild (BLADES OF NEZERACK) and I got to go to a community event, even thought I lost I was able to meet Freaky The Man there. This game has made a huge impact on my life.
As someone who’s obsessed with the aincrad arc this brings a smile to my face
I've played on that world and it really makes you feel like you are in sword art online! 10/10
Minus the death right?
@@Aaa-vp6ug oh yeah minus the death
@@PufferBlue I was hoping for the
“With X right?”
“…”
“WITH X RIGHT?!”
Format, but this works
@@Aaa-vp6ug lolll
I am SO interested in seeing how this turns out in the months to come!!
I’ve been wanting something like this foreeeeeeever! Like I’ve tried keeping up with a lot of VR and such news just so I can get an early start on finding a true to SAO like game/world. :0
Thank you so much for making this video and showing it off! I’m definitely giving it a shot immediately after watching this video :)
Such a devoted team. They've done an amazing job at replicating the SAO world. Will be watching this project
I remember seeing that world months ago and while the world and menus looked great it was empty. Now that this is here I am ecstatic!
Thanks for bringing this up! Currently, I do not own a VR headset, but due to this project, I am now thinking of getting one, just so I could get to experience this. SAO was always such a fun concept of a video game, that I wish an actual studio would make it, but this.... this is something beyond my imagination (I mean, people out of love/passion started to make this.. like wow!). Amazing video. Subbed :)
still absolutely love the production quality, I would love to see this channel grow into a full VR news channel with more success
I have high hopes for this. My bro inadvertently got me into SAO by nitpicking it so much, I wanted to see what he was complaining about and I loved it.
FREAKY OLD MAN IS A DEVELOPER ? THATS SO COOL I PLAUED THE GAME WOTH HIM YESTERDAY
oh my, those are great news and you did such a good job at delivering the message, great video~!
I remember going to Project Aincrad for the first time a while ago and thought it was absolutely amazing im a huge Sao fan and it was the first anime I really got into and is still my favorite ❤✌🏻
How do I get into the client
Thats so cool that they named themselves Argus (like the developer of SAO in the anime). SAO as an anime is flawed but it might be one of the reasons why I love it. Imagine if this actually got the blessing of Reki Kawahara (the writer of SAO) and got support from A-1 Pictures too. Really looking forward to the future of this project.
Checked out this map a few months ago, really cool how much they've done ! Looking forward to following this project more!
I don't think I can get any more goosebumps, this is amazing to see in motion again.
This looks soo amazing. Didn't know VRChat was this capable. Amazing work. Thanks for bringing light on this.
I fell In love with the series. I heard about this project from your promotional video.
I went, and I felt at home. My only wish is that I had the skills to assist dev.
As an SAO fan, I see this as an absolute win.
Love how creative everyone is on VRC
I've been playing Aincrad for 9 months now and it just makes me happy that this will bring this project more out there and more people will discover it which is really exciting! I can't wait to see how this will effect the overall popularity and knowledge of this project's existence.
I literally remember going in that world the first day of dropped 😂😂
I'll fully admit when I first seen a video of the project I straight up cried in joy vr is the future
About 10 years ago before VR really was a thing some friends and i were playing DayZ talking about VR after finishing season 1 of SAO and the possibilities of VR and how everything that happened in SAO might happen one day in VR and now years later we get improved VR equipment and even headimplants are being talked about and actively develpoed just a few weeks ago some of the same friends from back then and i talked about the very topic..we all had the same sentence in mind .. AND THUS IT BEGINS
I'll have to check this out! I can't wait to see what the future will bring! Good luck, Project Aincrad!
Okay, this did it! I'm going to dive into VR Chat just for this! Holy crap! Legit excited for this! Screw social anxiety I can't pass this up!
During a test from the Creator of this I got to see the original BETA of the Project.
While it wasn't as insane as it currently is now, It was still an amazing show of what VRChat could actually do. The Map wasn't fully made yet but and it was mostly a test of saving positions after leaving using the Menu.
It's still in the Game now but it would basically alter your avatar for a moment and then make it so you could load Data in a whole different Area. Of course I'm pretty sure any Data I actually have on the world actually broke after trying the newer versions since the map kinda just had a couple Hills and the most basic build of the middle city.
It's definitely come far though and I can't wait to see what else they do with it.
Me: enjoying the video and what's to come
Video: *Casual Minecraft Music*
Greate coverage! Big thanks to the devs working on content, truly inspiring.
I already want to get a VR set someday, but this just adds another reason to the list!
"A game that has every single feature the original had to offer"
*Dies in game*
my jaw dropped so hard while watching this!! this looks soo cool! im a HUGE SAO fan, so im definetly gonna be checking this out! man i hope full dive vr becomes a thing someday T_T
It would be nice if someone made a 'controller' that you put on (such clothes) that made speed and strength of your character depend on your movements in real life.
They basically have that, it's called a VR suit, but most are really expensive, but the coding could be done for full body movement to increase character strength, but dexterity, that's kind of based on your real life body, unless you have a BMI or an electrode array head controller that can let you control everything just by thinking, useful in case anyone paralyzed wants to play VR.
wow today is the day 31/10/2022
imagine using a katwalk c2+ with this once it is fully playable. THAT would be a dream come true
thank you for putting me onto this project im an aspiring game dev and i work in blender doing modeling hopefully i can get onto this project i dreamt of playing sao for real long ago and its why i wanted to become a game dev and it will look good on my resume when i apply for a big game studio one day
I like how in the game almost everyone is scared to be trapped and would do anything to get out but in reality most people would do anything to get stuck in a virtual world.
This is amazing. But please be careful about copyright issues with Japan.
sony is what to look out for- I actually asked them about this too but seems like they had a decent plan of how to go about things! >_
@@TheVirtualRealityShow Awesome!
Do you die if you exit VRC now?
No, instead you die if you stay in VRc for too long without sleeping and eating.
opening the menu the very second I joined the world was the most incredible thing I've experienced in VR hands down
As someone who always loved crafting or professions in RPG's SAO has a super cool system that would be fun to get into if and when it's implemented.
I love this! Can’t wait to drag my friends into it with me. SAO was actually what really first got me into vr, so it hood a special place in my heart ❤️
I swear I've ran into the world before, it was in testing and it only had like 3 swords back then and just the spawn area, cool to see this video.
Today I found this in VR chat. They are still working on it, but needless to say I nerded out so hard. This is such an awesome concept! I am so excited to see where they go with it.
Are you able to fight monster in it like they do in the show?
@@CommanderThorn-rt9eeI just tried it out and ya you can they got 2 rn but the menu system and map are so good
There's another game in vrchat called Fate of the Irrbloss.
it's a space ship crew management game
and shows that if more and more games like this are made in vrchat,
it can turn vrchat from a virtual reality social media/cosplay event,
into an actual gaming platform.
Again, Fate of the Irrbloss could be it's own standalone vr game, but takes place inside VRChat.
>aiming to include _every single feature_ the game has to offer
**nervous laughing**
I've been watching them do this since last year before the 1.5 update. It's been crazy to watch people do pvp, make guilds and stuff just around all this.
I’m so exited for this, I’ve been fallowing them for over a year and can’t wait for the final result.
Sao was one of my most favorite animes, so to see that someone would recreate it made me so interested.
If a full dive SAO game ever gets created in my lifetime, I'll be stuck in the game by choice
1:28 “aiming to include every single feature the game has to offer” uh i think there’s one that they might not wanna include
but if they don't it won't be I M M E R S I V E
Wow, I remember about 4-5 yrs ago one of the vrchat guys showing my group this map when it was still a one man project. Crazy to see how far it's come.
The fact this was 9 months ago I wonder how much it developed now
Agreed, I checked out this world as soon as I saw it. You really couldn't do much besides enter the world and look around the town of beginnings, but the sheer fact that it saves your progress independently and you can build from there is impressive. You can't really fight the boars outside yet, but you can open your menu, it's impressively designed but most features are currently nonfunctional. You are forced to change your avatar into a default newbie design, which makes me wonder about future customizable prospects, or if that would be feasible - but the design itself is amazing and I want to see more.
Like, 6 years ago, I putted the release date of SAO on my google calendar. Well, it's still there... I'm wiating...
+1 Subscriber - Even a 61-year old boomer like me can get excited by SAO in VR. You younger folks are pushing the future of VR and I look forward to enjoying the ride! Now on to Aincrad!
Thank you so much for introducing me to this Sao has been one of my favourite animes for a while now and to be able to play a vr version of Sao is absolutely amazing a massive thanks to you and the amazing team that made this I can wait till the morning for me so I can give it a go I just hope I runs well on quest
It looks amazing, just as long as they remembered to include the logout button on the menu, lol
ive been playing it since 1.4
i am SO excited for this, it brings tears to my eyes how people still love SAO so muchh
Me and my friends where there for the premier of this world, I gotta say it was a crazy experience to have online friends seemingly be in a real adventure with you, it's surreal and just makes me wanna meet them even more.
This sounds amazing and just imagine any of the other anime off-shoots that could come from this!
Log Horizon, Overlord, Konosuba, even stuff like No Game No Life!
Virtual Reality is so amazing. It's like the ultimate non-monetizable medium. It's built for the new world we're living in. Big projects aren't paid for by investors, they're crowdfunded by a small but extremely dedicated group of vr enthusiasts. This could never be a mass market product, and that isn't a bad thing. This gives VR a distinct identity I feel, where it's a lot more like the decentralized world of web 1.0 than anything modern. It's a great return to the roots of tech culture. I love that Facebook totally failed abysmally to market VR lol.
I always wondered how they were going to add all 100 floors. The World seed concept makes way more sense and makes it seem very plausible. It's a big project, but I think if anyone can do it, it's them.
I play this it's been crazy getting to see how it changes and grows
ohh, its nice seeing freaky old man. i remember when he asked me where to download the latest udonsharp version and just a few weeks later he surpassed me in skill 10 fold
The video is so well made with the background music and perfect information gathering that I needed to immediatly subscribe. Very good video , thanks!
This is really cool! Thank you for making this video and bringing my attention to it!
I've always been a vr fan as a kid and every new vr tech that comes out continues to surprise me, i've owned a quest 2 for 6 months and what i'm most excited for is fulldive vr hopefully we'll reach that level in a couple of years
Heck yes this is amazing, can't wait to hop into it today. This is what we have been wanting can't wait to see it progress.
The twin finger swipe is such an ergonomic and satisfying motion I have to wonder why it's not used everywhere as a universal menu summon. Back when SAO Launcher was proper supported on Android, it very nearly entirely replaced the home screen for daily use
Having a convenient menu with instant access to the dialer, calculator, contact beaming, a self-chosen selection of apps, GPS access in case I get myself a little turned around, music controls, and more all at once was amazing. And it really made my phone feel like a piece of future tech too, not just a flat PC.
Great Video! I can't wait to jump into this world especially because SAO was one of the big reasons I got into VR after leaving for two years because I didn't have my VR legs. I hope the new pets are doing well and getting along🤘
Really cool to see this world grow from its small island in 1.3
It's 10 years since SAO Aincrad Arc to SAO Alicization Arc... Like I wanted to watch it again... Since they making a inspired game from the anime series, it's amazing that they worked hard to make this game (or I say they make this game and imported to VRChat)... It's awesome and I love it...
I think it'd be really cool if blacksmithing was added as a "bonus feature". It wasn't explored much in the show apart from "oh yeah I made this and it took some rare ass materials" but there's a whole bunch of cool stuff that wasn't explored but exist that would be really cool as flavor stuff (like companions)
Biggest worry for this world is VRChat eventually shutting down and them losing a lot. While I don't think VRChat is shutting down anytime soon I believe if the developers of VRChat continue making bad decisions in the future its going to really affect a lot of VRChat creators in the long run which I am hoping doesn't become an issue but its hard to tell. Other than that it looks amazing and props to the developers that are working on this because its a lot of work and I hope they get to continue working on it.
It’s just really amazing what people can make in vr chat!
I’m glad to see there’s more to this game I originally played it I think a year or two ago and all you could do was walk around a little and open the UI but if you’ve gotten in water you would pretty much be stuck. I’m really happy to see that they’re actually doing more stuff for this game and I hope in the future it all works out.
Yeah, it all takes time to be done and so far they made a really good work inside the limits of VRChat.
imagine these people making a game outside vrchat
also the topics of these videos are just something new every time and I love it
I went in once, and it's amazing what they have so far. No one should ever be mad at them at all, they are doing this out of love and they have done an amazing job, better than most ganes made by official developers. It's insane how good the world looks
i'm gonna riot if i can't find the mythical pebble of pigsmithing
we have got akihibo kayaba irl now.. be careful, he also started with a vision!
