Red Matter 2 - PSVR2

- 1.6k views
I've been looking forward to this game for a while because I loved the original (I know you played this too @Con), and so far this is just as good, if not better. Red Matter 2 is a puzzle game where you have to solve the mystery of what happened to the crew of an abandoned space station, which is linked to the strange red matter of the title. This game has amazing atmosphere which is really creepy and oppressive, and the brutal Soviet style architecture adds to that feeling. The graphics are great, the music is amazing and if you pick up a headset you should definitely get this game. You don't need to have played the first one to get what's going on here, if anything …

Walkabout Mini Golf - PSVR2

Walkabout Mini Golf is a VR golf game and is one of my favourites so far. It has a bunch of imaginative courses from the pirate themed one in the videos below to a course based on the book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea set on Captain Nemo's submarine The Nautilus while it's under attack from a Kraken. There are also some fun side activities like a hidden ball to collect on every hole, and the hard version of every course has a treasure hunt which rewards you with a new putter for each one you complete. This is a blast to play alone but is so much more fun with friends, I spent a few hours playing with a couple of people the other night and it's one of the best VR experi…

Before Your Eyes on PSVR2 made me cry like a baby
by LimeGreenLegend- 2 followers

- 884 views
Before Your Eyes is an interactive story which you control using only your eyes. The premise is that you are dead at the beginning of the game, and a ferryman is taking you to the afterlife, but to gain access he needs to tell your story, and so your life begins to flash before your eyes. The unique thing is that at certain points, if you blink you skip forward in time, maybe missing key things or the ends of conversations you wanted to hear. I won't write anything more about the story because I thought it was amazing, and if you get a PSVR2 you need to get this as it's the most emotional gaming experience I think I've ever had. If you don't care about spo…

Another PSVR2 rhythm game, this has you waving your hands about in order to hit colour coordinated orbs - blue for left hand, red for right hand etc. Like Pistol Whip it is a simple idea executed perfectly. Here's a video of me dancing along to Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz and trying to sing along even though I had been playing for about an hour at this point and was very out of breath.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is a survival horror game from the makers of the brilliant Walking Dead story games. In it you have to survive a zombie ridden New Orleans, scavenging for supplies and helping out other survivors. This was originally released for PSVR1 and was one of he best games released for it, and now it has been upgraded for the new hardware. I've never played this before but I'm already loving it. It has great atmosphere and I love how all the menus and inventories are so tactile and in-world, something that I always enjoy in VR games.

Drums Rock - PSVR2

- 437 views
Drums Rock is a music rhythm game in much the same style as Guitar Hero. Demons of different colours advance towards you and you have to hit the corresponding drum. Simple, but very addictive. There are only a few recognisable songs, with the rest of the soundtrack made up of original songs meant to sound like specific bands, but most of them are pretty good, with a couple of straight out bangers amongst them. On harder difficulties it gets pretty intense, but it's very well designed and you're always able to see what you're supposed to be doing, even if you're not quick enough to do it. There's also a bunch of unlockables in the form of different hands, drums …

Pistol Whip is a rhythm shooter game and it might now be my new favourite game on PSVR2. It's a simple premise executed perfectly as you move through various neon virtual levels shooting people to the beat of the awesome soundtrack. Here's a video of a level so you can get the idea, but you don't get the feeling of being a total badass.

Demeo is an old school tabletop style RPG for up to four players where you have to take a party of adventurers - chosen from eight classes - through dungeons of increasing difficulty. Each of the five dungeons is made up of three floors which each take about an hour or so to complete. The combat is turn based and as well as regular attacks you have a hand of cards that you can use for more powerful attacks or support abilities. I was surprised at how much I loved this. While you're playing you can move around and zoom in and out, so you can look down at the board like in real life or get right in there so that the pieces are all life sized. I also love how tact…

This is Sony's flagship game for the release of PSVR2 and I think it's pretty damn awesome. I've not played the other games in the series so I have no idea who anyone is except Aloy - who you don't play as - but that hasn't stopped me from being in absolute awe of this incredible world. The gameplay is mostly made up of exploration and traversal, mostly climbing, with some combat sections where you fight different types of robot dinosaurs. The combat is a lot of fun, using the bow feels so natural, and the climbing really nails the sense of danger and the feeling that you're clambering about hundreds of feet up. Here's a short video of me climbing about on a…

Think a dedicated PSVR thread will be useful for those of us who use it. I might be the only one using it right now on here but I’ll be doing my very best to convince you all to join in. The main game I’m playing at the moment is Beat Saber. It’s the most physical gaming experience I’ve ever had. No other game has made me sweat the way this game has done. Other essential games to play are Skyrim and RE7. If you can handle those then you’ll experience gaming in a whole new way.

This has been out on PCVR for a while and I have been counting down the days to it's release for PSVR. It's a rhythm game played with the move controllers and all you have to do is slice through boxes in the right direction. Expert difficulty will make you sweat. I can't recommend this game highly enough. I honestly want to play this more than Red Dead Online. 11/10

Blood and Truth is a spiritual successor to The London Heist, from the VR Worlds game, and is the most fun I've had in a vr game for ages. You play as an ex-special forces soldier who is back in London for the funeral of his father, but then gets dragged into a violent underworld battle against a proper cockney cunt of a villain. If you have PSVR, you have to get this game.

Firewall: Zero Hour - A Must Have!

Picked this up today in a bundle with the Aim controller, and it is frigging fantastic! It's basically Rainbow 6 Siege in vr. Two squads of four go against each other to either defend or attack an objective. You only get one life and a short time limit to do it so every round is tense with short, violent bursts of action. Using the Aim controller feels great and adds to the immersion of the whole experience. It looks great too, especially playing on the pro, and even though I only played a few rounds so far all the levels were varied and had their own character. There's also a deep customisable system, which I know nothing about yet Even though it's been out for tw…

If you're looking for a spooky PSVR game for halloween then you can't go much wrong with The Exorcist: Legion. It's a five chapter game, each being about half an hour long, where you play a detective investigating spooky goings on involving priests and demons. There are a couple of jump scares, but it mostly relies on tension, building up the atmosphere perfectly before coming to a terrifying conclusion. Here's me shitting myself through the first chapter.

PSVR has been out for over a year now and has accrued a quite wide and varied selection of games. Since the holidays are coming up and some of you may be thinking about getting one I thought I'd make a post giving some quick thoughts on all of the games I own, whether they're worth it, and how they work (control method etc). I've played some of these games more than others, so I will have more to say about some games, and maybe only a line or two about others. If anyone has any questions I'll do my best to answer them. Batman: Arkham VR My first VR experience, and it made a hell of an impression. This is a two hour game that focuses on the "detective" p…

KONA - A Detective Game

This has a discount right now and looked interesting so I picked it up. It's a first-person detective game set in Canada in 1970. I've only played the first half an hour but am really digging it so far. The graphics aren't the best, but the setting is cool, as is the music, and I really like the Raymond Chandler-like narration that goes on throughout.

Werewolves Within

You've probably heard me mention this before, and how much fun it is, and it is. I've just spent the last three hours playing this and it felt like half an hour. It's a multiplayer only game where you all sit around a campfire and try to figure out who the secret werewolf is. It takes a while to figure out all the different roles and what they can do so I won't bother here, but once you know the basics you can play. All you need to know for this video is that I was a werewolf, along with another guy, and we had to convince everyone else to vote for someone who wasn't us.

@LimeGreenLegend hahahaha you didn't tell me about this game. The shit looks hilarious. Drunkn Bar Fight is coming to PlayStation VR. The rather wacky bar fight simulator previously released on Steam in 2016, and now a trophy listing has gone live for the game. In it, players will get to use their full surroundings to engage in some virtual fisticuffs. There’s also a trophy for hitting your opponents in the nuts, which I’m always a fan of. Here’s more on the game from developer The Munky: Drunkn Bar Fight is a simple, immersive, silly, rowdy party game. Take turns throwing bottles, darts, chairs, tip jars or anything else you can…

181Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Over the last couple of years I've been slowly making my way through every Disney animated feature film and, having recently watched Wish (which will be in my next batch of reviews) I've now seen all of them - that is until Moana 2 releases later this year. So I'm now presenting my official tier list which is the definitive ranking of all 62 Disney films (each tier goes from best to worst so it's all in order). S Tier (10/10) - Beauty and the Beast / Fantasia / The Lion King / Pinocchio / Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs A Tier (8-9/10) - Aladdin / Sleeping Beauty / Lilo and Stitch / Alice in Wonderland / One Hundred and One Dalmatians / Tarzan / Fantasia 2000 / The Princess and the Frog / Bolt / The Jungle Book / Robin Hood / The Little Mermaid / The Rescuers / Hercules B Tier (7/10) - Mulan / The Great Mouse Detective / Cinderella / Big Hero 6 / Zootopia / Tangled / Moana / The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh / Frozen / Brother Bear / The Rescuers Down Under / The Fox and the Hound / Pocahontas / Wreck It Ralph / Peter Pan / The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Treasure Planet / The Three Caballeros C Tier (5-6/10) - The Lady and the tr*mp / The Emperor's New Groove / The Aristocats / Bambi / Strange World / Encanto / Atlantis The Lost Empire / Oliver and Company / The Sword in the Stone / Winnie the Pooh / Ralph Breaks the Internet / Meet The Robinsons / Dumbo / Raya and the Last Dragon / Saludos Amigos / The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad / The Black Cauldron / Wish / Frozen 2 F Tier (sh*t) - Make Mine Music / Melody Time / Fun and Fancy Free / Dinosaur / Home on the Range / Chicken Little -

What I Watched This Week #149 (Nov 4-10) And Then There Were None dir. Rene Clair/1945/1h38m Adapted from the Agatha Christie novel – the world's best selling mystery book, which has a rather unfortunate original title that you'll have to Google for yourself – this tells the story of ten strangers invited to an island off the English coast by an unknown host. There they discover that they are all responsible for somebody's death, and soon they start dropping off one by one. This setup sounds clichéd now but you can't make that argument here as this story invented that cliché. What I like here is how playful and light the direction is, giving the film a macabre sense of humour. This is also true of the performances, particularly those of Barry Fitzgerald as Judge Quinncannon and Walter Huston as Dr. Armstrong. The mystery itself is a good one and had me guessing up to the reveal. I don't think this is as good as the Margaret Rutherford Miss Marple films of the 60s, or the Peter Ustinov's Poirot films from the 70s, but if you're a fan of a good murder mystery then you will enjoy this. 7.5/10 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon dir. Ang Lee/2000/2h This fantasy martial arts film stars Michelle Yeoh and Chow Yun-fat as two master warriors, Yu Shu Lien and Li Mu Bai, who must work together to track down a powerful sword that was stolen by a young thief, Jen (Zhang Ziyi), who is also the daughter of a nobleman. This is a gorgeous looking film full of vibrant colours that is famous for its spectacular wire work that sees the characters float and fly through the air. This makes for some unique fight sequences where they hop along rooftops or duel high up in a bamboo forest. The two leads are both great, especially in the scenes they share where they have to deal with their repressed feelings for each other. I did feel like there were some pacing issues early on, and the story becomes slightly convoluted just for the sake of creating more drama, but it does tie up quite nicely at the end where Jen is able to find some freedom and an identity of her own that isn't defined by anyone else, that is if you take it symbolically. 8/10 A Quiet Place dir. John Krasinski/2018/1h31m Emily Blunt and John Krasinski (who also directs) are the parents of three young children living in a world populated by blind creatures that hunt by sound, forcing them to live silently. Adding a ticking clock to proceedings is the fact that Blunt's character is pregnant. This film has a brilliantly tense atmosphere that is sustained through the entire runtime with a couple of standout set pieces that had me on the edge of my seat. I'm not a huge fan of the design of the creatures and I feel like we see them too much but the always feel like a threat. Blunt and Krasinski both do a good job and have a natural chemistry which is to be expected as they are married in real life, but the real star of the film is Millicent Simmonds as their daughter Regan who is deaf (as is Simmonds). This feeds nicely into the film as it allows them to communicate by sign language, something very useful in a world like this, and also has other ramifications later on. 8/10 Heroes Shed No Tears dir. John Woo/1986/1h33m Heroes Shed No Tears is John Woo's first proper action film and he cements his reputation for b*lls to the wall mayhem and org*es of explosions right out of the gate – although I didn't see any doves. Eddy Ko Hung stars as Chan Chung, leader of a group of Chinese mercenaries hired by the Thai government to kidnap a druglord. That's the easy part, getting out alive is the hard part, especially with an insane General (Bruce Jang Il-Sik) hunting them down. This film is relentless with hardly a few minutes passing before a shoot out or something blows up, with those gaps filled with an entertainingly dramatic narrative that veers into melodrama as Chung's wife and young son are caught up in the action. It does feel somewhat disjointed at times, with one particularly long gambling scene there just for comedic relief. Not as polished as his later works, that rough and ready vibe gives it charm, and a supporting cast of likeable characters make this a fun watch. 8/10 Firebrand dir. Karim Ainouz/2023/2h Firebrand is a historical drama about Katherine Parr (Alicia Vikander), the sixth and final wife of King Henry VIII (Jude Law). Anyone paying attention in history class will recall the method for remembering the fates of his wives – divorced beheaded died, divorced beheaded survived – so we know she doesn't meet a bloody end, so the film does an excellent job of building the tension and sense of threat in their relationship. At this point Henry is getting sicker and sicker from an infected wound in his leg and his increasing paranoia makes him a volatile character. Law does a brilliant job here, managing to go from a pathetic, weak figure to an imposing monster, often in the same scene. This may be the best performance he's ever given. Vikander is equally impressive. Her Parr is a powerful woman – she was made regent while Henry was abroad fighting – but aware that her life is always on the line. An excellent supporting cast including Eddie Marsan as Edward Seymour and Simon Russell Beale as the scheming Bishop Gardiner, and vivid period costumes and production design round out an enthralling film. 9/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Respect dir. Benoit Forgeard/2011/14m This short film is about a man, Steph (Thibault Sauvaige) having an argument with his partner over breakfast, only that his partner is Flippy, an anthropomorphic bear mascot for a breakfast cereal. Flippy is a controlling *sshole who is physically and verbally abusive to Steph, who wants to leave to go to ninja school. There's a sense of absurdity and playfulness here that is let down by the blandness of the production. Everything about it feels flat, the direction, lighting and performances, with none of it matching the tone of the story. But there is something about the concept that piqued my interest enough to check out another of the director's films. 5/10 f*ck UK dir. Benoit Forgeard/2012/13m Another absurd short from Benoit Forgeard, f*ck UK follows the exploits of Michel (Gaspard Proust), leader of a fringe group that hates the UK and wants to wipe every trace of anything British from France. But it turns out that this is all because he's in love with an English woman, Jane (Julia Vandoorne), who he is angry at - “I am French, you are strange. I will never come to your country of sh*t”. The direction is much better here than in Respect with a nice use of montage, and this film is actually funny with some laugh out loud moments. More of a sketch than a film this also benefits from a solid performance from Proust as the surly and childishly petulant Brit hater. 7/10 10 Rillington Place dir. Richard Fleischer/1971/1h46m Based on a true story, 10 Rillington Place stars Richard Attenborough as John Christie, a softly spoken middle aged man who rents out flats at the titular address in which he also lives in late 40s London. He also happens to be a serial killer. When he rents out a flat to simple, trusting Timothy Evans (John Hurt) and his wife Beryl (Judy Geeson) he finds another target, and someone to take the blame. This is a thriller that is chilling in its restraint, building up the tension masterfully. This is all down to the performance from Attenborough who manages to channel the menace he showed in Brighton Rock as an angry young man and suppress it all internally as an older man who now knows how to focus his rage. A young Hurt is also good, giving a very sympathetic performance as an innocent man in way over his head and accused of a crime he didn't commit, though he does come across as a bit too naïve at times. The film also has a epilogue that isn't really needed. Sure, it's nice to know that Christie eventually went on to face justice, but there's a much better ending place, narratively speaking, a few minutes earlier. 8.5/10 Austin Powers in Goldmember dir. Jay Roach/2002/1h34m Mike Myers is back for the final time as the swinging 60s superspy, again battling Dr. Evil (also Myers), who this time has teamed up with 70s disco kingpin Goldmember (also also Myers) to hold the world hostage. Powers is assisted by former girlfriend Foxxy Cleopatra (Beyoncé) and his father Nigel Powers (Michael Caine). Also returning are Dr. Evil's henchmen Mini Me (Verne Troyer) and Fat b*stard (also also also Myers). Opening with a spoof of a spoof that sees Tom Cruise play Powers in a Mission Impossible rip off directed by Steven Spielberg, this is a film that knows what it is and will make any stupid joke to get a laugh, with most of them landing. The plot is basically pointless, with it being just a vehicle for Myers to play around and it's as much fun to watch as it must have been to make. Caine is hilarious as the elder Powers getting good use of his under utilised talent for comedy and Goldmember might be my favourite one dimensional character in any comedy. I also love that the ending of this comedy spoof of a Bond film was later used as an actual plot point for the actual Bond film Spectre. Not as good as the original, I'd say that this and the second film are about equal and are still a lot of fun to watch. 7/10- 2

Galactic War update. Day 278-284 -
181Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Throne of Blood (1957) dir Akira Kurosawa This is Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It's not like the more usual Shakespearian adaptations that use the original lines, rather it's the same basic story with different lines in a different setting; medieval Japan. It's unmistakeably Macbeth right from the start as the camera pans across a misty, mysterious, highland landscape. Toshirô Mifune stars Washizu (i.e. Macbeth), initially a soldier (I guess you would say Samurai, although I am not totally sure of the correct usage of that) in the army of the local lord (i.e. King Duncan). Washizu and another soldier, Miki (i.e. Macduff), are on the way back from a victorious battle to their lord's castle. They get lost in forest and come across a spirit (equivalent of the witches) who foretells their promotion and that eventually Washizu will be the new lord but it will be Miki's son who succeeds him. They are promoted, Washizu tells his wife (Lady Macbeth, obviously) about the prophecy and it is she who encourages him on the path of deceit, betrayal and murder that will see him full-fill the rest of the prophecy but attempt to change it so that a son of his own succeeds him. One thing I did find slightly odd, and funny, is that whereas in Shakespeare's original (and the historical facts it is based on) Macbeth becomes King of Scotland, here Washizu becomes Lord of Spider's Web Castle. I am assuming that in Japanese “Spider's Web Castle” sounds more impressive than it does in English. It is very well made, of course, and the actors are good, particularly Isuzu Yamada as Lady Washizu. Like Olivier's Shakespeare adaptions it does not seem dated, and I think the Shakespearian style is what helps there. There is some very impressive cinematography, both of the landscapes and some of the castle interior scenes. One that sticks in my mind is when Lady Washizu hatches one of her plans we see her walk into another room, that is pitch black and then emerge shortly after carrying some bottles of drugged saki. The camera stays fixed for all of this, with the doorway to the dark room in the centre so it's almost like she disappears and then reappears, as if using magic. Definitely well worth watching if you are into Shakespeare or Samurai films. 9 / 10- 2

Here's the last thing I bought! It's mighty expensive at $1600, but it makes a easy go of a complex operation. Set it and forget it and keep a sponge wet it's about all it takes! All it takes is a 4-day dry and a 4-day cure.
