Holy cow hell blade coming to VR on 31st july

Like I posted above it runs perfectly well on a 1080ti, also tested it on my laptop and it runs well on that (120% SS)

Looks pretty amazing on my CV1. I can only imagine it would be better on a higher resolution device. As tracking controllers is not an issue for this i  expect Odyssey or reverb would be amazing with it (as well as index and pimax of course)

You can use the touch controllers, I`ve been playing it standing with my arms hanging in a relaxed position.

I know. But it doesn't do controller tracking it is in pad mode, so the inferior tracking of windows MR is not a problem for it

Yikes had a play on this with an Index this evening. God ray hell! Avoid.

Really? The rift CV1 has bad god rays but don't rember it being an issue for this game

huxley

Was the Rift god ray thing a constant or just with the first batch?
Ive played some Elite on the index and that was very good, had some minor glare issues but overall acceptable. Hellblade does have some extreme contrast sections. I played through the sections for the sword in the tree. The dungeon with the torches was hard work, needed shades

And the Rift S too!

I've been thinking about replaying it on my Rift S as it goes. Not a great deal of difference in resolution between the Rift S and the Vive Pro and Valve Index, and you also have the added advantage of being able to super sample more without a drop in performance too. Plus ASW 2.0 of course!

Finished this last night. I`d already played the pancake version but this was a like a new experience all over again. the combat with multiple foes was much more fun and tactical in VR.
Recommended in my book. Don't be put off by the third person view, the combat and puzzles would not work very well in a first person view.

"Holy cow hell blade" sounds like a very interesting concept for a game.

I'm in!
