VAIL is my new favorite VR shooter.

[@VirtualBroVR]

MY LINKTREE: linktr.ee/virtualbro

[@aleksp8768]

Art direction aside, vail doesn't bring anything new to vr gaming, instead it's a standard vr shooter polished to perfection and I don't mean that in a bad way. While vr is in it's early stages and needs innovation, it's refreshing to get something that doesn't look/feel like a tech demo or a "my first unity project" but instead feels like an actual high quality product

[@G4IJIN_VR]

THIS. Like most VR shooters are on life support if you don’t count modded content. One thing that initially attracted me to vail was that it was trying to be its own thing. And then there’s the fact that every interaction feels intuitive and natural in VR. It’s crazy to me that it took this long for VR to get a shooter like that.

[@xXYannuschXx]

THIS. Polish is something that is absolutely missing from most VR games these days. So many try to add on features to no end, or just take a gameplay idea but dont execute it well. A simple, but VERY well polished VR game can be alot more interesting and memorable, then the most innovative game in the world, if it isnt polished. HL:A is a good example. While its fairly simple for a VR game, its so far still the most polished VR game made, combined with good graphics and art direction (even for a flatscreen game). So many indie VRs try to reinvent the wheel, when just taking a few simply gameplay mechanics and polishing is a better option and makes a better game overall.

[@pLayC]

bro is this video a paid promo?? this game is no diffrent lol, just a diffrent recoil pattern.. nonthing new, onward,contractors,pavlov,breachers,valil, all fells the same just diffret recoil and damage can easily ajuist between all of them,

[@HarkVR]

I think the weapon/attachment progression system, character leveling, reliably consistent weapon reloading, and the realistic and satisfying gunplay is what separates Vail from other games like Contractors, Pavlov’s, Ghosts of Tabor, etc). I also cosmetic options and DLC. It seems the devs are super active in their own community, continuously working on the game instead of doing what contractors and Pavlov seem to be doing - letting the modding community keep the game interesting. The most significant official changes I’ve heard of in a while is Contractors’ new battle royale mode “Showdown.” However, in the beginning when vail was first launched in early access, they did do an aggressive marketing push which was a bit of a turnoff at first

[@evilgirlfangs]

I play a LOT of "Into The Radius" not just because of the great story and world, but because it has the best weapon handling and realism in any FPS I've played so far. (Yes, even better than Pavlov). I've also been watching the development of Vail and I'm very excited to see them check so many boxes. Great Review, M8.

[@YoBrand15]

Even better than contractors? I like the faster pace of contractors, and showdown looks amazing (although completely different type of game).

[@StewieDoesntExist]

@YoBrand15 contractors was my favorite before i tried vail...though i will note i wasnt into the modding in contractors, all i ever wanted to play was simple tdm and dm, and found it almost difficult to avoid all the mods...also the contractors community can be a bit juvenile and akin to a cod lobby with kids blindly screaming racial slurs and thinking that shits funny...i tried vail and never looked back, a straight forward, no fluff, competetive shooter that felt good to play with a usually more mature community, though i will say in the last couple weeks there has been a bit of an influx of kids, though most are usually seemingly more respectful and there to play the game, but theres always acceptions...i got nothin against kids playin the game, i just hate it when they act like obnoxious little brats...

[@YoBrand15]

@StewieDoesntExist this is a good perspective. I loved the modding of contractors and the fast pace (sliding and all) but yeah the community sometimes wasn't great, so looking forward to trying vail. Only potential issue with vail is it will completely depend on how healthy of a player base it maintains. Because of the mods I can even have fun solo on contractors. And when contractors showdown comes out I wonder if it'll take people away from vail

[@StewieDoesntExist]

@YoBrand15 people do like to call vail a dead game, and its true it had its ups and downs during its development, but i can tell you from personal experience and as a mostly near daily player there was never a time without people to play with and in its own way having a smaller community was a benefit, you actually see people youve played with before and theres a certain charm to that...now as the game grows with its full release im sure there will be a flood of new players but the og's will still be there and hopefully as the community grows it still maintains its roots and running into them again may be even more fun...as far as showdown goes, some people are loving it, i played it in alpha and it didnt seem for me, i plan on trying it again to see how far its come and how it plays now that its had a lot more work done to it, but personally im old school and not really a battle royale guy to begin with and it just seemed a bit more complex than i prefer...i just like to hop on after work and play a good ol fashioned arena style shooter personally, reminds me of games like timesplitters, quake, halo, red faction 2, where the goal is to just kill and not get killed, not for everybody, but its what i like and vail does this very well...hope if you decide to check it out you like it and maybe ill see you out there...

[@thenovadash420]

Hey that hasbulla guy looks familiar

[@HarkVR]

The weapon handling and leveling/gun upgrades are definitely the main reasons vail has become my favorite vr multiplayer fps. Some of what you mentioned in the middle of the vid about manual reloading can be applied to most of the core vr shooters tbh (Contractors, Pavlov, Ghosts of Tabor, etc.) but there’s something different about Vail. Kills and weapon handelong feel cleaner, fairer, more realistic, and most importantly - reliably consistent. Also super satisfying to get headshots, though I think there is still something missing there that could make it even better… maybe an additional sound fx and haptic feedback. I think this is one of the things Call of Duty actually does right - the kills and especially headshots are extremely satisfying. Great video btw man! Definitely looking forward to seeing what the devs continue adding to the game! P.s. Habbie is also one of my main inspirations for starting a vr channel 🤙🏼

I’ve played quite a bit of Vail (as of late it’s been kinda dead sadly) and I think if we needed to compare it it’s most definitely a CoD game in vr minus a fast slide or dive. And it’s well made but I think you should definitely give X8 a try as well, it’s for sure Valorant in VR and has easier gun play but sooo much depth in abilities knowledge and usage that makes it crazy fun.

[@lunchbox6576]

I bought this game on a Saturday, when I played it , all the other players were about 12. the maps were incredibly small. All the kids were just staying in the spawn area and shooting each other. There was no strategy involved. When I asked if this was how the game was played a kid said yes. We just stand by the spawn area and shoot, it does not change. I gave the game about 30 minutes. Left and put in for a refund right away. If they could make the maps bigger and have the teams spawn in different area's then I think the game would be great. For now it rewards camping and that takes the joy out of the game for me.

I played for like an hour and a half and the game isn't horrible but it's not better than contractors or any of the other mainstream shooters in VR.

The only thing that it's missing is a progression system but to be honest you really don't need it with that game. Would it have been nice to have to had unlocked all of the guns and sites sure. Was it needed though no it wasn't. So yeah if the game was 15 bucks I would say grab it but not for $30.

[@hotsause911]

there's just no identity to the game, when you look at it, it looks like a minimalistic version of Pavlov vr, and has no other skills than the guns itself. a game can be realistic, but it still needs its skill gams. CSGO is a game on terrorism, yet it still has skill gaps with b-hoping, grenade line-ups, recoil control(without curser movement) and quick scoping. Look at population one, sure its goofy, but it has a massive competitive seen due to its skill gaps. DT Reloading while doing movement in the air, while doing building, while communicating with you team on strats and enemy locations; population one, in comp, has your arms flying everywhere. you also have other games like breachers, who have that same competitive aspect that vail is looking for, but as said it has its skill gaps, with dynamic maps in multiple hatches and routes, and ways to stop those routes. Looking at vail it has mostly basic movement, non dynamic maps, guns without there quirks like quickscoping(all guns you simply look into the sight) or reloading in a way that allows for chain fire(physical mags means that you have to reload a certain way, and can only be better by moving you hands faster), and a mostly basic move and shoot strat that is on a linear plane.
