For some reason I'm more hyped for the review than I am for the game 🤔
You know I get this for sure. I love the studio that made the game and it was an ambitious feat to capture Iron Man in a game but I was excited to see what PSVR without parole said about it. I trust their opinion so much when it comes to my sony vr experience!
I had it pre ordered on the strength of my experience being a backer of their previous game. So I'm watching this more to know what to look out for. I was initally worried about the loading in the demo (a full enviroment load after every time trial or weapons challenge is a bit much) but I'm hoping that post release optimisation will reduce that a little. This studio does not abandon their games post release so I'm fully expecting the bigger issues to get tackled.
Great review as allways. Thanks.
Oof on the loading screens.. hopefully with PS5 coming up it will drastically reduce load times. Still looks amazing though, can’t wait to play
what did people expect there would be no loading screens on the PS4 and the under powered PSVR headset
I just upgraded my PS4 Pro with SSD drive and cut loading times of all games in half.
Venser external or internal?
Ghost656 Metal I expect loading screens but at that frequent and length is ridiculous. Optimize your game more or have a bigger download size. Loading screens kill fun when they are too long and frequent.
@@MajerHawk Internal. On the Pro you just unscrew single screw and switch the drive. Anyone can do it.
to be honest. i really don’t care about any of the negatives you listed. they all seem absolutely fine to me (i guess minus the performance issues)
Get back to me regarding the loading screens. It’s a great game but those things kill the pacing and suck the fun right out.
@@balsanoid2319 I dont think loading screen times are counted in the campaign play time.
@@WithoutParole I played a lot yesterday I didnt find the loading screens too long but they were vert frequent. That with lots of long cut scenes does slow things down a lot but I found the loading screens completely forgivable for how fun it gets flying and fighting as iron man as you get really good at controlling yourself it is just such an amazing unique blast of fun.
Personally the look and gameplay in this is much better than I excpected and the story has me pretty intruiged aswell as an iron man fan I feel like I am in my own Iron man movie which makes the loading screens understandable to me.
I find if helpfull to have small chair or stool nearby you can sit on during the loads and cut scenes and its no problem at all.
I got really annoyed at all the long cut scenes in truth and blood and didnt really care about or even pay attention to the story in that one but here I am enjoying them so far.
PSVR Without Parole I really hope this game gets a PS5 patch in the generation crossover period. It’s good fun, but the thought of those load screens reducing to near zero with that new SSD.... mmmmmmm....
I'll go ahead and buy it now to support the devs and games like this. I think I'll wait for my PS5 to actually play it though. Should help with load screens and "occasional performance issues", which will only be worse on my og PS4.
My backlog of games is huge, including several big tiles. No need to rush.
If Camouflaj optimizes this for PS5 I'd be thrilled! :D
Thanks for the honest review you guys always deliver.
I'm more bummed about the performance issues than the load screens. But I think those positives outweigh the cons for me. Can't wait to get it.
Thanks bryan I already have it on pre order I bought the deluxe edition can’t wait to play it and your video was spot on
I’m kinda bummed that it’s so linear, my favorite part of the demo was just flying around and exploring the outside of the mansion
There's a free fly mode for every stage, im pretty sure
Great review as always Brian! It helps temper some of the overly high expectations.
It's dissapointing that being a sarcastic billionaire with a garage full of super powered super tech, is the boring part of the game. It could have been an equally fun experience. Imagine if there was a mini game in the spirit of Job Simulator, where you tinker about your garage. Instead of just choosing the upgrades for iron man's suite, you could decide to take them off, throw them across the room, or make them shoot off as they fly around the room. So much potential for shenanigans!
...see this is why I shouldn't be alone with my thoughts as I wonder about what might be in a game and just wait for your reviews so I know what's actually in the game!!
You gave this an 8.4 and it is making people rethink buying it? How many 8.4 VR games do we have? Not that many yes the load screens suck but sounds like he had a blast playing it. Just saying what are you waiting for a game that's a 10? They don't come around too often.
Haven't you heard of the unfortunate games industry phenomenon known as "Eight Point Eight" or "Hate Out of Ten"? From the publishers' standpoint, 8.4 is a terrible review. Which tells you all you need to know about game publishers.
If you're surprised by the 8.4 rating you might want to check igns review for fortnite...they gave it a 9.7 which is saying that its almost perfect. This is why I prefer watching gameplay instead of reading a review because gameplay shows you the actual game, reviews are mostly opinions because let's be honest, giving fortnite 9.7 is insane, just because its the most popular game doesn't mean its good. It has more cosmetics than actual game content and 90% of those cosmetics can only be unlocked by buying season passes making them limited.
The teleporting thing had me rethinking realy hate that.
Still sounds like a great game despite a few issues. Gonna have to check this one out. Thanks Bryan!
Thanks for the review Bryan. I’m looking forward to playing this game. Hopefully they can patch the loading screens. Even Bloodborne had really long loading screens on its release. I know I will still enjoy this game.
Thanks for the honest review! I was bored with the wave shooter style gameplay towards the end of the demo. I was hoping for at least some exploration or deeper gameplay mechanics in the final release. They really nailed the look, feel and flight mechanics of Iron Man, there just doesn't seem to be much variety of things to do as him.
If you were getting bored by the end of the demo, you’ll probably want to skip this one. The full game is essentially just a lot more of what was in the demo. :D
Another great review! I’m sure I’m going to have fun playing this :)
Great review Bryan, I look forward to suiting up and flying through the game!
Goid score, loved the demo, and a huge iron man fan. Cannot wait.
My original PSVR broke last November. Preordered this bundle. Get it tomorrow. I will play it after work. Can’t wait
Might wait for a sale. Great review, Bryan!
I'm hyped up for this game! I enjoyed the demo so much.
Another great and honest review. Thank you! Downloading it now.
Thanks for doing this review Bryan! Still not sure if this is the type of game for me, I have yet to play the demo (it is downloaded though). But then again, I'm not much into superheroes so maybe that's why I'm not so into this yet.
It would’ve been nice to have the ability to play as Ironman on the ground as well in flight where you could land kick some ass then jump up and go into flight. I’ve got this preordered physical and hoping a day one patch might solve frame rate issues and maybe loading times.. great review as always
Agreed. I was wondering if that was possible ever sense I heard this game was a thing
You can land on the ground, there are tanks that attack you from the ground so you can power punch land on them if you want.
You cant walk around on the ground but really why would you want to as Iron man?
Preordered the move controller bundle cause if you want moves on their own you'd pay double anyway
Same here!
I went into gamestop yesterday and I've been looking for a vr anyway, and they had one of the iron man bundles available for preorder in store. So I took it haha
Also having vr without move controllers is down right silly. Yeah theres a fair amount if good games that use or can use the regular controller. But you are missing out on soooooo much of the vr experience and vr library by not having moves
Also highly recommend the aim for the games that are compatiole with it, it's a serious game changer in the best way
I pre - ordered mine. Picking it up tomorrow.
Good review! It's about what I expect from that $40 price on a valuable IP. Familiar characters, acradey game loops. If it was at $60 I would expect a world to explore, living the T.S. life, and optimized polish. Were your load times coming off a PS4 Pro?
Blood and truth style cutscenes is a big bummer. When will people figure out that VR is best with interaction? That plus the loading time make me less hyped for this for sure. I’ll probably wait on this one and hope the loading times get ironed (hoho) out.
I really don't understand that complaint, when have you ever talked to a person and walked away and looked through a magazine or whatever?
Tried the demo of Blood and truth, got some serious motion sickness, and the blurryness just made it unplayable for me. Is this game just as blurry? Only vr game i can play non stop for hours and hours is Fire Wall Zero Hour
@@SC0RPI0NFURY Really, I didn't think B&T was blurry, what headset are you using 1.0 or 2.0 and are you using the PS4 Pro?
ReverseFlash PSVR 2.0 and Ps4 pro. I have played most psvr games, pretty much all of them are blurry to some degree, only reason why Firewall Zero Hour, RE7 and games like Beatsaber feels less blurry is because of the short view distance/ map designs. When that is said though i have never ever felt the insane level of immersion that i get from these vr games compared to flatscreen games so i know VR will be huge on the next gen but i think at this point on this gen it’s just not there yet
VR games need to approach exposition like a one-take film. Keep you engaged and moving
Great review Bryan!
Was there any teases/reveals of a shared universe with the Spider-Man and/or Avengers game?
We need a AAA vr game that has the story telling like half life 2 or Alyx! Where you can walk around and mess around with stuff during the story
Looks awesome will be picking it up, thanks for the review guys!
On the fence if I'm going to buy at launch or later when I have the time to play but looks amazing.
The fun thing with VR is that you don't really feel as much pressure to beat it. Just buy it, it won't go on sale anytime soon anyway.
@@HermanFalckHow I've got lots of vr games I just haven't finish as I don't have the time. Besides this is going to be a tight month as other priorities.
Thanks for the review man!
Thanks for the review .
If we didnt have ghost of 🍣 or dreams vr I would pick this up day 1. Might wait for a sale
Can’t wait for Dreams VR, the main reason why I got a PSVR not long ago. July 22 I’ll be there
@@MrMOGHammer its amazing!
I can't wait I already pre ordered it
Thanks for the brilliant review.
The long load screens were definitely noticeable in the demo but hopefully the gameplay will make it worth it.
I'm looking forward to getting the full gane at some point.
Good review. Thank you for being honest.
Great Review. Thanks for your honesty.
At 6:06 what’s the last icon at the bottom left?
Great review, I kind of figured it would be exactly this. Good game, but not mind blowing or extremely polished. Will hold off on it for now.
Thanks Brian, I was on the fence with this one, the hype had me convincing myself it was a better game than I thought. It looks great, and I know the devs worked extremely hard on it but I'm passing. I hope it still gets the support it needs. The next VR game I'll buy is Pistol Whip! Cannot wait for that review from you
Does this unlock at midnight (or 10pm in my case) as the countdown suggests? Or is it one of those afternoon appearances on the store?
Midnight
Whatever your countdown timer says should be accurate. Have fun! :D
This was a great review!
Patch for load times incoming..i hope. Also, would an SSD in the PS4 Pro help reduce the load times?
Is the hardest difficulty frustrating or is it well manageable
It's very manageable. The game is really easy on the Normal difficulty, so Hard might actually be the way to go.
I feel you completely. It’s nice that they’re giving us games and advancing. Hopefully the load times for VR games will reduce massively with ps5 and the games will mature brilliantly. Remember dude, VR is still in it’s infancy, the possibilities are excellent. Great review!
Seems like PS5 power and SSD should fix the performance and load times.
Do u only fight robots ? Are there surprise villians ? Ultimo, Mandarin etc. ?
It's... mostly robots. The last few fights mix things up but 90% of the game is drones. That said, I liked learning the best strategies on how to take each type down. :D
My walmart had it out 2 days early. But only in a headset bundle.
Is their a lot of on the ground parts of the game or is it basically just the hub world? I hate teleportation so much. I’m buying this anyways, gonna go look for physical copy when I leave the cape. And for me 8 hours is a perfect length. Anything longer and I lose focus and interest.
Mostly the hub world, but it does pop up occasionally in other parts of the game. I thought 8 hours was the perfect length too. :D
Solid review I appreciate the honesty it was provided by playstation. I have faith it wouldn't compromise your review. Will be checking out the game after your review!
The loading screen in the demo right after suiting up as you are falling through the sky had me axe this game from my list.
Is it worth getting the deluxe version for more money ? Or just standard edition ?
I'd go with the standard edition. Unless you're really into the custom decos that is...
PSVR Without Parole nice that’s what I ended up getting I actually really like the demo can’t wait to play the full game!
Man I LOVE Iron Man VR so far. I'm ecstatic really, because, how much more could you expect as far as innovative gameplay action that takes advantage of VR as a medium?! It's absolutely excellent!
Even in those VR-ish gimmicky moments where you interact with objects, there's still pressure because there's a time limit every time (like disarm a bomb, you have to get to the next one).
I haven't beaten it yet, but so far the story and narrative are excellent as well as its overall inspiration. I just love it. They came up with an absolutely terrific gameplay system that takes advantage of the medium and control method and that's what hooks me on VR.
It's hamstrung by the Unity engine. I know I can't shut up about it, but that's the truth of the issue here: the horrible framerate issues and load times show that people are out of their minds to make this kind of game with the Unity engine. It works for a ton of small-budget projects (Sairento, Superhot VR, Blasters of the Universe, etc.) but something like this? It's a total crack-smoking moment. Someone was out of his mind to think Unity was a good idea. Hopefully PS5 helps out the horrible technical issues.
I tried the demo, but the gameplay just didnt really grab me the way I had hoped it would. Then again, I've never really been an iron man/ comic book fan. Nice honest review as always Bryan
I have the game. I can’t play because the move controllers don’t sync correctly to the game. Left hand is stuck to my left temple (yes, my head). My right arm is 6 feet long. Glad I waited 6 extra months for this... I’ve calibrated everything, moved the camera to below the tv (was above originally, but had the same problems). Any ideas before I dump this? Also, everything works fine in Skyrim VR, so I know my gear works.
I have not had any issues on a regular basis, with maybe an occasional one here and there, but it has been a smooth ride for me. Try these, though:
- The camera over/under the tv depends on the best position to get you as frontal as possible when standing: if your tv is on a wall the camera may end up above you looking down, while under the tv it may be too far below looking up. Find the best spot where the camera is as close to being straight in front of you as possible.
- Re-pair the controllers from scratch.
- Sometimes when you start the game one of the hands may be or twisted. While already in the game, such as the main menu, simply turn off the controller giving you problems and turn it on back again. After a second the hand will get back into position. Do this one controller at a time when it happens, instead of doing both simultaneously.
- In VR during calibration look down and make sure you are standing inside the yellow circle. Otherwise your scale will be off which may lead the scale issues you see. Re-calibrate when this happens as you may have moved.
- When you get the PS4’s camera feed upon starting a game stretch your arms and moved them around, seeing how far you can stretch from the middle point and how much room you have above, below, and to the sides. If you have little room move further back and/or point the camera a bit up/down before continuing.
Can't wait to see this! Thanks Bryan.
My biggest concern was if the whole game was against geomentic shape drones is there much enemy variety? Even humanoid style drones would be great.
Enemy variety wasn’t an issue for me. There are 6 basic (geometric) drones you fight against but I thought the boss fights more than make up for that.
@@WithoutParole thanks :) keep up the great work
It’s awesome that we have a full body tho! I hate when they have just hands with no arms, but here we get the full body! So cool just looking at yourself with an iron man suit on!
Does this game have a Pro Patch for PS4 out of curiosity
Not too worried about load screens (Shadow Legend is still awesome) I’m just looking for a new VR experience with some fun factor. Too many dreary games lately, need something lighter in the headset.
Idk if you respond but what were your turning settings?
Smooth turning set to fast - as usual. :D
PSVR Without Parole Thank youuu I’m gonna try it when I get the game :)
Awesone review as always. l'll just keep myself occupied with over 40 VR games in my library(Showing off lol jk but not really) until the patch comes out. 😂
P.S. I'm doubling down on VR games because I'm pushing for it's future success. The more VR games we buy, the more successful it becomes.
Nice review. If there's a physical version, I'll buy it. If not, I'll wait for a considerable discount on the digital one.
I'm playing right now and loving it. One thing that I do not understand watching this video is the framerate. Playing on base PS4 the frame rate is pretty bad most of the time (for a VR title), but watching this video it seems smooth as butter. I suppose this is recorded in a PS4 PRO. Is really that smooth inside the headset in PS4 PRO? In my case is perhaps the wort performing game I have played on PSVR (alongside Borderlands 2 VR). Despite this, the game is awesome and I'm enjoying it a lot.
It is buttery smooth on a Pro in what I’ve played so far. I’ve noticed a dropped frame here and there, usually in heavy scenes when a lot of enemies, particles, and effects are in play, but the game remains smooth 98% of the time for me.
About the loading screens, did you review on a Pro or original PS4?
PS4 Pro
@@WithoutParole So it's even longer on OG then ;)
@@slemvext Not necessarily. PSVR games are commonly developed with the OG system as base. Loading in games can be impacted by different things (from media location to asset compression). It is very possible these are PS4 load times we are seeing in PS4 Pro. Disc drive speeds are the same between OG and PRO so it is likely code related.
@@MegaRayland Interesting. This topic may be something for #viewertakeover to talk about :)
Im gonna wait for a sale or something or ask somebody to get it for me not gonna spend much on it.
As allways thnx for the honest revieuw guys keep up the good work!
This is a must, surely the stuff of dreams for most, regardless of load times etc.i Think this will shift a few headsets.
Holy crap! I can’t wait!
Hey Bryan, do you think the PS5 will get a PSVR2? In your honest opinion? Or do you see it not happening?
Of course it will. Sony's leading the VR charge and I doubt they're ready to throw in the towel. Plus, PSVR2 has already been confirmed. :D
T Minus 1 hour and 30 minutes until launch I pre ordered it and am so fucking hyped
Can't wait to see the next PSVR on the PS5.
I'll wait for a sale on this one I think.
Its on sale right now
Great review, thanks. It almost sounds like they should have waited for the power of PS5 before launching this game; I assume this would have helped to speed-up those load screens.
Review score: “8.4”
Some people: “Oh, too bad- i’ll wait for a sale...”
Wut?
🤦
Yeah it is still a great score. I think people just focus on the negative and honestly the things he said were negative are not even deal breakers. I have played that demo to death so if it is more of that I am in 100%
I think the number at the end of the review is the least important thing (different reviewers will assign different scores even where their opinion of a game is broadly the same). I think the reason people are holding off is because of what was said in the body of the review. Long and frequent loading screen, boring story parts and some performance issues.
Looks like the game also gets a fair amount right and I'll probably pick it up at some point but this review didn't describe a must have to me despite the number at the end.
I’ve already bought it but I’ll be waiting for PS5 to play it to avoid the loud screens
Old School Gamer so you just wasted your money ?
@@-Old-School-Gamer yea sounds like you should have just waited. What is the point of buying day one just to not play it for months at best.
Okay I'm confused but excited
The review I’ve been waiting for lessssgooooooo
This is gonna be Great!!!
Why are all the characters bent over the whole time? Who did the animations?
Can research points for iron mans upgrades be collected whilst playing single/solo player?
Every level you play gives you research points, and just doing the single player campaign will give you plenty.
@@WithoutParole so just to confirm I don't need internet to get research points???
Exactly. Even getting research points from time challenges doesn’t require being online.
@@WithoutParole Awesome thank you very much I'm picking this up tomorrow in the UK 🤩🥰
@@WithoutParole can you help me with some questions regarding another upcoming PSVR game Star Wars Squadrons coming October 2020?
Im genuinely surprised as i thought this was a homerun, but opinions...im getting it anyway and from the demo i would recommend this as a must own in the VR catalog
Iron Man might not be a home run but it’s a lot of fun dude, enjoy it! :D
Great review -- appreciate it! Between this and IGN's review I'm starting to second-guess getting this right way since my backlog is kind of huge.
I still haven't gotten very far in Megaton Rainfall either.
I appreciate the reference to Blood & Truth prolonged lack of interactivity. I'm wondering, though, how you'd contrast that with Farpoint, for example. To me, Farpoint just had the better story, especially for how it foiled the gameplay so well to create the experience that it did.
It is exactly like Farpoint, Blood and Truth, Archangel, Arkham VR, etc: when the story plays you can look around but not shoot or alter the behavior of those talking. Which has been the norm for VR games that present the story this way, so it is silly some players are reacting like it is different.
(Also, take IGN VR reviews with a grain of salt. They tend to think 2d gameplay instead of VR experience).
@@MegaRayland It's also kind of normal for non-VR games too, right? I mean Half-Life 2 or other FPS games, maybe you can move around during conversations sometimes. The real problem with VR is that they can't give a traditionally cinematic cutscene (except for some of those flat-screen moments). So yeah I don't know why someone would expect it to be any different here.
I was thinking B&T vs Farpoint because I thought Farpoint had a way more enjoyable story to watch to break up the gameplay overall.
Thanks for the straight up honest review! I don't want people to get it wrong, because the game is incredible and worthy of purchase, but it takes a certain kind of player. I really have problems with games that use teleportation.
But you do understand it is not the main gameplay mechanic, right?
just popped in disc theres an update 104 is that a patch
I reviewed the game with Patch 1.04 installed.
#ViewerTakeover with 2 of these 3 to likely make the next Top 25 Games. Which is your odd game out between Ironman, Saints n Sinners, or Dreams?
Hard to judge when one of those three, at least as a VR game, isn't even out yet.
I only got the Iron Man bundle to get the move controllers to be able to play Saints and Sinners! But I’m sure there’s enough decent segments to justify a play session.
It is a shame however that PSVR still lacks a proper stream of fully fledged quality VR games and not just ‘experiences’ or Tech demo’s.
The only proper AAA quality VR games I could list would be -
Astro Bot
Resident Evil 7
Saints and Sinners
Paper Beasts
A lot of other games ultimately feel like short VR experiences.
It’s sad because those of us that love VR are dying for more.
hey bryan, do you review any flat(non-psvr) games? If and when you do, you're the only one I will trust on whether a game is worth it or not. Also I hear you're a fellow masshole like myself.
Reviewing PSVR games is a full time job, so that’s it for now! And I’m a total Masshole (I drive like one too...) :D
@@WithoutParole well I genuinely enjoy and appreciate the hard work and honesty you put into your channel's content and reviews bryan. Happy fourth.
Should I get it myself tomorrow
always gotta thank Bryan
Great job, thanks
cant wait for tomorrow:)
So far I dont mind the loading screens.. gives me a break to sit down
Thanks! I think I'll wait until it hits $25 for the deluxe. Maybe black Friday.
so far BB is gonna have base physical for $20
I had serious problems with the tracking during the basketball minigame
Are the Cosmetics worth the $10 upgrade?
In my book, no.
I needed move controllers so got the Iron Man VR bundle and the game itself works out roughly half price so I'm happy enough with it's flaws.
Yo yo. I just got my VR fixed and then this comes out 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
None of my GameStop’s had any copies of Iron man. So I went to Best Buy and they had a million. They also had dreams physical as well. . Both $40
You never mentioned the boss battles. how are they?
Few and far between. The final boss is awesome, but the ones leading up to it are average. :D
@@WithoutParole thank you for the response. That was the only thing I was worried about in the game.
I am so excited 😁
