The Soviet VR Game Problem - Convrgence
Ойындар
Convrgence (if you couldn't tell) is a VR extraction shooter I think. It's kind of like if Into the Radius and Tarkov had a baby. But despite spelling it's name CONVRGENCE it's actually really beautifully understated. It's the dark grimy post cold war soviet loot hoarding gameplay that is so popular right now but just in VR with amazing graphics. Which confuses me because I want this to be my go to spooky soviet VR game now even though Into the Radius is much bigger and more open world. My smooth brain hurts.

Kisel is not jelly though
I just... It's been a couple of years since i bought my Quest 2, and i was not early to that party. But i think there's still a categorical difference between people who have tried a VR game and gone from thinking "ey this feels a bit odd" to having their brain completely accept a new fictional reality, and then people who have not done any of that. And there's just no way to bridge that gap with words. Someone has either done that, or they think it sounds fucking stupid.

_Right?_ I've been struck by two things about VR: 1. Putting a bad game in VR doesn't stop it from being a bad game. This has burned me on a lot of flatscreen-to-VR adaptations. 2. The physical, _kinetic_ presence which a VR game entails really does make clearly appreciable storytelling magic out of what might be called the most understated text. This has sold me on a lot of VR games which I hadn't been expecting to enjoy at all.
definitely my favorite full 8 minute video that i have watched all of

Whats a minor detail is the guns "rattle" like they do in most other games when you aim. Its nice to have the little mechanical sounds be heard when I do the aiming.

"Into the 2 radius. 2 radius 2 into" xD
props to the devs for not giving up they only did that because theres a new stalker vr game coming out.
As others have mentioned its Roadside Picknic and then later the Soviet era sci-fi film literally named STALKER. They were honest so influentential on russian sci-fi that trying to claim those settings seems almost like trying to claim robots or andriods to a degree.
I also can't wait for In 2 the Two Too:2, to.
Always watch Habie
Rip metro vr (paradox of hope) 😢 you will be missed
The reason why Russian inspired games look similar is because they take inspiration from Russian post apocalyptic books in particular the Metro books, and the book Roadside Picnic (which inspired S.T.A.L.K.E.R). The things like floating objects in these kinds of games is because the ladder books zones were created by alien landing sites.
At some point we're just going to get a video that's just entirely the atomic mirror brains for like 15 minutes straight.
I do not laugh out loud often but damn, This was such a great video.
2 Radius 2 Into... damn, that one caught me off guard. My face hurts so much. Thank you for your service good Sir. o7
Yay good job you did the mirror brains :)
this looks so similar to into the radius... they must be using a lot of similar plug ins or systems... the UI for grabbing items looks similar, the mounting and cleaning of guns is almost 1:1, and the atmosphere looks almost identical. you could splice this and into the radius footage and most people probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference. but that is a really cool idea for a game, and i hope they can flesh it out into a unique experience that lives alongside into the radius!
I must've bought Paradox of hope one week before it got DMCA'd, it was a VERY good metroesque experience, I want to pick this up as well, but I still need to finish/start into the radius. One day, when I can walk properly again.

I know I'm the 500th person to tell you this but the concept of 'The Zone' filled with anomalous, floating objects comes from the classic Soviet Sci-fi novel 'Roadside Picnic', and yes you should definitely read it. The name 'Stalker' is derived from the name given to those who enter the zone and was popularised as the de-facto naming convention by the equally brilliant Tarkovsky film 'Stalker', and yes you should also watch it.
I'm so hyped for Itr 2 🔥

2:45 " I'm going to have a stroke, but I'm really enjoying it "
gaxap lol. It's sahar aka sugar. the thing at 4:44 is kissel, or a powder of it that you mix hot water into. It's a kind of gello-liquid dessert that can be served cold as a drink or hot with porridge for example.
Hey I'm glad instead of saying it's Salvador-Dali-like that you switched it up to be Daliesque 😉 Another banger Habie ❤

Ironic that they got a C&D from 4A when they themselves got sued by GSC when Metro 2033 was in development for its similarities to STALKER
They are making a VR metro game titled "metro awakening", I am so excited for it.

When timeless spun the revolver, it was cool. When Habie spun the revolver, it was transcendent. 5:45

"I'm having a stroke, but im really enjoying it" 😂
I hope the actual metro VR will be good
This just makes me wish the Metro developers could have produced a more fleshed out or expanded version of the Last Light “Kshatriya” DLC. I can’t say 100% what it was about it that made me so much more unsettled by the world but for me that was the quintessential metro video game experience.
Habie channeling his inner Ocelot
Now they call it Sovietpunk, but for more than 50 years many people have been inspired by Soviet science fiction, specifically here these are the books of the Strugatsky brothers. Their books also inspired, for example, Arcane Studios in the game Prey (2017) (There is an American film - Solaris(2002) with George Clooney based on a book that was clearly inspired by Prey). In the original Stalker (Roadside Picnic), of course there was no talk of any radiation, but there was contact with the extraterrestrial. Or from other realities, which not only left artifacts and anomalies, but also violated the laws of physics in places and even changed people.
