[@Datan0de]

I'm glad you covered all 10 dev diaries together. It let me start getting caught up on what's happening in ITR2 all at once.

[@xPASTY]

Glad I could help bring you up to speed! Make sure to check out the other one for more information. Probably will have another video out in July with more updates.

[@Mischa1917]

Thank you for this, this is the best ITR 2 content on KZbin so far, very much appreciated! I am so excited for this.

[@xPASTY]

Same here! They’re making some really great improvements to the sequel!

[@Mischa1917]

@@xPASTY really thrilled about the general shift away from quantity and towards quality, although I loved using every single gun in the first game (god bless scavenger mod)

[@xPASTY]

@@Mischa1917 I haven't used all that many as you can tell since you've seen everything I've played, but I agree that I'd much prefer quality over quantity. There's no point in having 50 guns in a game with subpar controls. I like the direction they're going.

[@bricken10]

I hope the different chest rigs are somewhat modular, like being able to move where some of the slots are, or adding a second pistol holster and more mag slots

[@Grinch-Sama]

Bro I love the long videos, keep it up.

[@leviwalker7385]

ITR is a prime example of whar vr can be... it really got me into vr and is still my favorite vr game other then vtol ima sucker for flight sims

[@xPASTY]

I completely agree, my dude. I always thought there needs to be way more story-driven games for VR. A lot of the time it's just used as a sandbox allowing people to dick around, but a well-crafted story with in-depth characteristics in VR works so well. I hope other developers take notes from ITR.

[@mathiasbauer7837]

I’m so excited for this I can’t wait! Itr is stalker but vr and cm has done a great job at making the game my top 1 vr game

[@umbratherios5614]

All that I'm hoping for is that this game has proper stealth mechanics, unlike the first game.

[@xPASTY]

You and me both dude, you can't sneak up on anything in the first game.

[@umbratherios5614]

@@xPASTY I made the stealth tweak mod for the first game (lost the files since, sadly) that reduced AI FOV and stuff like that, but its a far cry from a "fix" and more just a very... simple bandaid. Discovered that the AI had something like a 240 degree fov instead of a real person's 180 degree fov (I changed it to 170 in the mod) and the people in the discord are dead set on INSISTING that 240 is a normal person's field of view, LMFAO... damn, I wish I could see 240 degrees! or was it 220? it was something like that.

[@xPASTY]

@@umbratherios5614 You made that mod? Damn, pretty cool man. I haven’t done any modded ITR gaming yet, but now that I just finished the game I will be trying out mods!

[@umbratherios5614]

@@xPASTY yeah, that was me (I made it while I was sleep deprived, so the description might come off as... ranty, lol). I really wish I didnt lose the files for it... it (should) still work, but.... yeah. depending on how ITR 2 is, I might mod that game a bit too. there's a few good mods though, give them a shot :)

[@thebakedtoast]

Testing how long I can see my arms stretching to the back, it's about 220​@@umbratherios5614

[@spartanspore1142]

Great video, you deserve more subs good sir😘

[@xPASTY]

Thanks man!

[@bubbledouble9232]

Into the radius is so underrated. I didn't buy till a few weeks ago def in my top 2-3 best games of vr so far! I heard so much about bone lab when that game is crap compard to ITR. I like the summary of the 10 diary's I feel up to date and excited for numba 2

[@xPASTY]

Hell yeah, glad you’re an explorer now! I’ve got another video going up tomorrow about diary 11 and a few other things that everyone needs up to speed with. 😏

[@sentlok4400]

So will multiplayer be somewhat persistent where if the hosts not online another player becomes the “host” or will it be just be completely reliant on the creator of the world

[@xPASTY]

It seems to me like it’s completely dependent on who starts the server. I’d expect that if the host leaves, everyone gets kicked out.

[@jazzdirt]

13:45 That's a pity... "My bloody buddy" is the only achievement not unlocked in ItR 1 for me... So, I have never actually bought a weapon in ItR..

[@Panant1]

Will ITR2 be only on pc vr or will it be on VR too? disappointing if it's only on PC as I really like the first game

[@xPASTY]

Only PCVR as of now. Check out my newest ITR2 update video for more information about that.

[@exquisitecanineaficionado]

Spawns will be able to set up ambushes Perfect feature for a game which is going to have coop mod

[@xPASTY]

Right?! That’s going to be an amazing new feature. I wonder if they’ll make them silent or have a faint noise when they’re still, because in the first game you can hear them from far away even when not in motion.

[@exquisitecanineaficionado]

@@xPASTY Well, for gameplay purposes, faint noise seems to be fair. But on the other hand, should a game be fair? Why not making player paranoid of every single small bush? This is kinda the thing which would make me rethink wandering around in the night... to some extent. You can aim at mimic's muzzle flash in ITR, and spawns are quite loud now.

[@xPASTY]

@@exquisitecanineaficionado I’d appreciate a faint noise from Spawns when still, kind of like how they describe Ash being detectable by a faint noise. ITR2 will take even more years off my life if I’m getting jumped by Spawns in bushes every 15 minutes.

[@cooki3th1ef]

really really disappointed that there’s no human NPCs, huge missed opportunity - seems like a overly safe sequel but i’ll reserve full judgement until i play it tomorrow

[@xPASTY]

@@cooki3th1ef Well there’s never been any human NPCs in the Into the Radius game, unfortunately that’s just not the style this game is. It would be cool though, it could make it more dynamic like STALKER is.

[@aojroxos4990]

Is there any prediction for the system requirements?

[@xPASTY]

I haven’t seen any on the Steam page, but these were in Discord and they should be a good reference. Minimum: Intel i5-7600k/Ryzen 5-3600, NVidia RTX 2060, 16 GB RAM. Recommended: Intel i5-8600k/Ryzen 5-5600, NVidia RTX 3070, 16 GB RAM.

[@Valkyrie-5555]

I hope for them to add support for crawling/shooting flat to the ground like contractors, I always crawl with my rifle in my "elbows" in part 1 to dodge gunfire, but my chest stays as if I'm standing up

[@xPASTY]

That would be a pretty cool change, I’d probably struggle to go prone with the amount of space I have but I’d definitely make it work lol.

[@Seandub]

I needed this video. Turns out, I am indeed too lazy to read 👍

[@xPASTY]

Lol, glad I could be of assistance!

[@LimesAtTimes]

I would love: The ability to turn on power consumption while starting a new game, Better atachement placement And stealth and more funny weapons

[@xPASTY]

Power consumption? What do you mean by that? And make sure you go read the dev diary they did about the guns, we’re getting a much better attachment system in ITR2 which I’m really excited about!

[@LimesAtTimes]

I mean that flashlights and such need power the can recharge over time or with some other way, like a generator. And that it’s a toggleable setting for games.

[@LimesAtTimes]

Lasers and optics could also have this feature

[@LimesAtTimes]

And for the guns and attachments, I had no idea!

[@xPASTY]

@@LimesAtTimes Oh yeah man, big overhaul this time around! The battery system would be pretty neat as long as I’m not swapping them after every trip into the zone.

[@jlansink1]

Anyone know if ITR2 will be for stand alone quest??

[@xPASTY]

Currently it is not in production, PCVR is the first and only priority at the moment.

[@timejinx]

Any chance it will come to psvr2

[@xPASTY]

Currently I don’t know if it will or not. I don’t believe I saw that answered anywhere, but it gets asked a decent amount. Into the Radius 1 was on Meta store and Steam but not PSVR2, but since this sequel seems to already be more anticipated and popular than the first game, I feel like there’s a chance. I’m sure they’ll answer that as we get closer to early access.

[@Krocakyle]

Wait… 16 guns? Are the guns that hard to implement?

[@xPASTY]

Wish I could tell you but I have no idea. I know they’re being designed from scratch and built up, so maybe it is more difficult than the way other games do it and it’s not as high of a priority to have an insane amount of guns.

[@09bonkers]

In2 the radius

[@OmnificentAspirations]

Fewer guns... :(

[@Bacangameing]

Why is there several simular mecanics to the first gane being added to the secual?

[@xPASTY]

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” probably.

[@MacThaKnife]

Yo W bro

[@sandwiccio2795]

The mimics looks weird

[@WoWSondo]

Best be next lv coop! No one I know wants to play this solo!

[@wartimestudios2898]

the mimics kinda look AI genrated like look nobody has 2 pistol holsters on the same side

[@xPASTY]

I had to go back to see what you were referring to, but I got you now. It is an odd design, but at the same time, Mimics aren’t really intended to be “normal looking.” It does look like the same holster copy/pasted right over top the other which makes no sense in reality, but in the Radius it may be chalked up as an anomaly like the rest of the world.

[@wartimestudios2898]

@@xPASTY hmmm alright

[@bluejay9681]

I always assume that most enemies in the radius are the radiuses' best attempt at copying things around it mimics being soldiers the train being just part of the train those burning things being electric wire anomaly fields being mine fields etc

[@xPASTY]

@@bluejay9681 That’s the impression I get too. It’s the Radius’s artificial world. I’m still working on finishing the first game so maybe I’ll know more later.

[@sandwiccio2795]

​@@xPASTY i like the black shard enemies we have now. They look scary as fuck. The ones in concept art look AI/goofy
