Rez Infinite | Review | PSVR 2 - It's time to move on

[@1aka]

just FYI the game does have difficulty modes but they're kind of goofily named as game modes in the options or something (where the "dynamic mode" is). the default setting is pretty easy but the other is a throwback to the classic 2D gameplay and has denser patterns etc also if you clear 98% of stage enemies you face tougher bosses in each stage i get that you didn't like it so much but at least with this info in mind you can get a little more out of your purchase 🙏🏼

I think the trick to this game is getting into a flow. I hated it the first time I played back on the Dreamcast. I tried it again on VR, and still didn't like it...until I kind of picked up on the synethesia thing. If you move twitchy to kill things like a normal game it'll fell weird, but if you can control the game like your some kind of smooth ninja, you'll get the feel

[@jason5021]

If you played VR while stoned you'd understand why people like this so much😅 but yeah, area x is definitely the best part of the game

[@EazzyRays]

True!

[@Star.6739]

Eh, when you're sober, it's an okay experience. It's just a 14 minute experience that kinda foreshadowed how much they used particle effects in Tetris Effect. But, Rez is the best part of Rez Infinite, despite it just being a remaster of a Dreamcast game

[@AutumnRivers]

I've played both Tetris Effect and Rez Infinite in VR. I've always seen Rez as a kind of novelty for VR, rather than being built around it. And I mean, that's nice and all, but not when you keep rereleasing it. Tetris Effect feels much more natural for VR, despite the fact it's just Tetris. I agree they should make a sequel in the style of Area X, but what would be even better is a VR-exclusive mode where you're being attacked from all sides. Put that spatial audio to good use, and give me a heart attack as I hear a swarm of enemies behind me!

[@andychaloner9889]

I always thought Rez was an ok but not great game but I really loved the sorta sequel Child of Eden which I found far more visually pleasing. I remember playing it in stereo 3D on PS3 with the same move controllers I still use for my PSVR1 and it was an awesome experience. I'd definitely pay for a proper VR version.

[@shugghead8538]

Even area X sounds like something from Tetris Effect. They need to do a sequel based on that style.

[@Star.6739]

I mean, the devs of Rez Enhance *Dunno if they worked on the original or just Inifnite* but they did actually work on Tetris Effect

[@DOSkywalkR]

Nice review. A note though: you need to speak slower or clearer, one of the two. I understood you, but it wasn't fun to listen to ^^ (as a professionally trained voice over artist I tend to give unsolicited advice on it, take it or leave it 😄)

[@VRGRID]

Oh I'm trying, but thanks for looking out - Ryan

[@dxwoodwardx]

@@VRGRID Ackchyually 🤓 As a professionally trained VR fan. I thought your video was just fine. Keep em coming!

[@Highfreqgaming]

Seeing area x was my first wow moment in my new headset. It was amazing. But also too short 😢

[@paddy8391]

I've always love the game PS2 game Rez, now in PS5 VR2 wow! This is my favorite game of all time.

[@EpicLebaneseNerd]

Paying $9.99 for the upgrade is nice , especially when I got the psvr version for dirt cheap back in the day....thumper is also around $5 and that is nice , cheap 2 games for psvr2 I must say.

[@giancarlomartinez5630]

I tried eye tracking, but my reticle was too low. Any idea how to fix this?

[@shenmeowzo]

Agreed. Its a nice game for an hour but overall pretty Meh

[@mrajkipper]

Thank you for another PSVR2 review!

[@GreyMatterShades]

I enjoyed Rez back in the day, as its style was much more unique when it launched. Since then there have been a lot of other games to take on similar abstract art styles and arguably do them better. Playing through it in VR on PSVR 1 was cool to experience, but the core game was already starting to feel pretty dated. Arera X was pretty amazing already on PSVR 1, and I'm sure it's even more impressive on PSVR 2, but I don't think I can justify even the $10 upgrade fee just for that. It's a shame they didn't expand Area X or add a new level. As it stands I'll probably pass unless the upgrade fee goes on sale...

[@williamskogen9895]

I tried the demo of this game on PSVR1 and never understood why it was so popular.

[@Nathan-is7li]

For like $9.99 it’d be amazing, but it’s just too overpriced for what it is.

[@tommydplayskeys]

I agree. Stick it on your wishlist, it'll go on sale. The PSVR1 Rez has done at least.

[@ChrisCox-wv7oo]

$7.50 on steam sale right now

[@MattyFreedom]

I played AreaX with eye tracking on and beat it on my first ever run. It was cool but I was pretty disappointed that I beat it with so little effort. Eye tracking worked too well I guess.

[@VRGRID]

It is kind of a cheat...almost like they should've made a sequel built around the new tech than just re-releasing the game again.

[@pistachiodisguisey911]

Play with eye tracking mode for sure

[@MikeCheckVR]

Never understood the hype for this game to be fair. Good review and finally someone who nailed my thoughts on this game perfectly.

[@DanPyjamas]

Yeah I've never felt the draw towards this game personally. The eye tracking interests me. But that's about it. Man, I'd love to use the eye tracking for something, somewhere other than FR

[@VRGRID]

Song in the smoke uses it for climbing, to help place your next grab point

[@DanPyjamas]

@@VRGRID yeah and call of the mountain in menus. Call me strange however, but neither of those games appeal to me. 🤣

[@VRGRID]

@@DanPyjamas Call of the mountain uses it for your arrows too. It's funny/cool to watch the arrows bend in the air and head toward the target your looking at. Like that movie wanted, but with arrows

[@rhook88]

Absolute masterpiece

[@VRGRID]

meh

[@Mrkalm007]

Tell me you dont get Rez without telling me you dont get Rez

[@tompicarella]

Great review.

[@jakkudemoff3043]

Yeah its soo boring and dated and being high didn't help - its for the easily amused i suppose..

[@VRnamek]

you're too generous. Btw, you streamers don't need to cover every re-release on psvr2. We get it that it's mostly old or really old games. Btw, I hate that they recycle in VR the worst possible games from DC, like that dancing BS. where's Crazy Taxi, Daytona, Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter? VR is a sad sideshow...

[@VRGRID]

Actually wasn't planning on a review for this, it just sort of happened.

[@scrotiemcboogerballs4159]

Shit take and shit comment on a shit video lmao

[@TetsugakuSan]

You've missed the point buddy - maybe you're better off sticking to games like Call Of Duty?

[@VRGRID]

Lol, cuz that's what I play.

[@Nathan-is7li]

Please enlighten us on what the point is. It’s an overpriced 20 year old game that they keep pushing onto every VR platform. I’ll wait

[@TetsugakuSan]

@@Nathan-is7li you just don’t get it bro that’s ok. You keep playing those AAA

[@TetsugakuSan]

@@VRGRID by the looks of it it’s COD and your dick 😅

[@VRGRID]

@@TetsugakuSan The point is many games do what Rez does better. Thumper, Tetris Effect, Audica....the list goes on and on. I'm not saying Rez is bad, it just feels dated. You help design this game or something? cuz your butt seems really hurt rn.

[@rhook88]

Stop talking too fast

[@VRGRID]

no

[@rhook88]

Awful review

[@VRGRID]

meh.
