The thing about Co-op, is that they need to add more enemies and loot to accommodate two people. If i were them i’d double the loot and triple the enemies

[@leoisad00d14]

Honestly I hope not, I like the idea of struggling for scraps so you both can have recourses. Would be sick

Your the only creator I come to for ITR content

I appreciate it brotha🤟❤️ I have a fun one I'm postin this Sunday

[@Script-007]

Nice touch adding Clair de lune in the intro, very classy

[@conroyyjenkinss]

I'm glad you appreciate that song as much as I do script 🫡 it is an absolute fckin banger, truly a tune that all the lads can cut a rug to whilst courting the comely lasses clad in their finest, fetching attire

[@notgreatnate]

I definitely wanna hear those scrapped ideas! Maybe some should be kept! Never know

[@natedogg6655]

It would be great to hear more on what the devs dropped.

The worst fans in the world

[@Kawaii_ET]

My only concern with ITR2 at this point, is that according to the Steam page they plan to launch the game for $39.99, and not change the price at launch. Now... I personally am okay with eating that cost. ITR1 ended Early Access in a mostly solid state and genuinely improved so much over the years. However. I don't see the average PCVR user coughing up 40 bucks to play an unfinished product knowing full well that they could have waited/paid the same price for a final release that isn't buggy and unpolished. This is, in my opinion, the riskiest part of ITR2's development. I think it would be way better from an "actually getting people to buy the Early Access version" standpoint if it was say $29.99 then bumped up to $39.99 at launch. Half the value proposition of buying a game in Early Access is the discount. The way they're planning to market it feels more like a pre order for a near finished game. It's just a confusing move from a marketing perspective imo and could potentially hurt the initial funding. Hell even saying the full game would be priced HIGHER than $39.99 at launch would be the superior play. Again, just in my opinion. I'm super excited for ITR2 so I just hope they know what they're doing. Maybe this is a way to make Quest users feel better about never having a chance at that Early Access discount... but that's supposed to be the gimmick of it. That's WHY people buy into indie games on PC. Also sorry for the paragraphs. If you read this whole rant you're a champ! Just something I'm worried about.

[@vr_vlad]

You're making very good points. To say that this was a subject of internal debate would be an understatement. The rationale is that for many people, a reduced EA price implies it's close to the "fair price" of the product as-is. Even at 29.99, it probably wouldn't be valid for the initial release. It sounds counter-intuitive that a studio isn't trying to maximize sales early, but we see a long road ahead. At this point, we're mainly marketing to people who have enough faith in ITR and want to be part of the pre-launch journey. To be honest, we didn't expect 100k+ wishlists and planned for a relatively low-key EA. At the same time, pushing EA back for a more "finished" game doesn't make sense as we'll miss out on community input during critical stages. We can't possibly know if this is the best way to do it, but at the moment it's the one that feels "right" to the team.

[@Kawaii_ET]

@@vr_vlad Appreciate the response so much! I'm part of the group that's eager to support it. :) It helps to know that it really is intended to be more of a community driven sequel and is less about how well it sells during that development phase. I do still think there will be some backlash, but hopefully it's a very small amount. Looking forward to Early Access and thank you again for the clarity on why it's priced the way it is. 🙏

[@imbrandalf]

I would love to see CO-OP that supports normal flatscreen play and VR. I own a VR headset, but none of my friends do. Phasmo did this and it was an absolute blast for months

[@sovietsnake4726]

Idk if they would wanna spend the time designing a screen mode but someone could maybe make a mod

[@vr_vlad]

(CM guy here) That would be amazing, but certainly out of our reach until full launch. Would love to see this modded in too.

[@jamespruitt4756]

have they announced co op in early access or will that be released later down the line?

[@conroyyjenkinss]

From my understanding there will be early access co-op for up to 2 people. So basically you and one friend! Further into development they will potentially add up to 4 player co-op.

[@vr_vlad]

@@conroyyjenkinss yes, 2P initially to catch the bugs and iron out gameplay, 4P as soon as we feel it's stable enough

[@bla_bla500]

I just hope they don’t go to crazy on the multiplayer stuff because I don’t have any friends that have a vr headset, a pc to run the game, and want to play a game like ITR in the first place

[@conroyyjenkinss]

Don't worry, the devs put the solo campaign first. They essentially said it is a solo campaign mode meant to be played that way, but we will be able to do co-op if we really want to🖖

[@SOULDEZIGNER]

Don't be so selfish =)

[@sergiocervantes3925]

Dose anyone know when early access will be available?

[@conroyyjenkinss]

The devs said the next dev diary will talk a bunch about early access (so I'm hoping that means early access will launch super soon)

[@GGun1t]

They announced July 24th :D

[@oliviercaron8822]

Please os tu gona be on quest 2?

[@shadowof2501]

are we gonna talk about how it was a slightly miss opurtunity that they coulda called the 2nd installment "in 2 the radius" it sounds stupid but i wonder if that ever crossed their minds

[@vr_vlad]

we also tested "into the diameter", but too many in our focus group couldn't spell it right

If the next dev diary is going to be specifically about early access details then I have a perty gud feeling about ITR2 dropping soon 😎

[@hogandonahue9598]

I'm hype for early access. I had an idea I think would be cool- rifle slings. It would be a slingle point sling that would tether your weapon to your left or right front shoulder slot and that way you don't drop your rifle to the ground when you have to panic draw your pistol 😂
