Grab a leg and an arm and pull them in two! Grab them by the handle on their torso and bash them into the ground! Actually RIP their face right off! It’s such a fun feature and makes you feel great – the real thing you want from a VR action game. You then have the ability to grab them and tear them apart with your bare hands. Robo Recall’s cherry on the combat cake, however, is when one of these enemy robots has the audacity to get right up into your personal space. Pinging one with a headshot from distance and sending their dome clean off, using a shotgun blast to evaporate a few leaping spider-robots that got a bit too close or juggling an enemy repeatedly on a hail of gunfire, racking up a multiplier bonus with every successful keepie up.
With enough variety to keep them interesting and keep you – literally – on your toes, they provide you with a bunch of targets that feel really, really satisfying to take out. The real stars of Robo Recall, perhaps unsurprisingly, are the enemy robots themselves. Plucking bullets out of the air and throwing them back at enemies like you’re some kind of darts-playing Neo just doesn’t get old. Pistols are perpetually strapped to your belt so there’s no need to reload, just chuck your current pair away (or, at an enemy, if you’re going for some galaxy brain thinking) and grab two fresh ones! You always have a sub weapon strapped to your back and reaching over your shoulder for a shotgun makes you feel like the actual Terminator. Robo Recall is a game that focuses on providing a thrill-a-minute experience rather than attempting to simulate a real firefight. It’s a similar trick that PSVR titles utilise, like Gran Turismo – a loss of fidelity in areas where you’re not paying close attention to, to keep the areas you’re forced to pay attention to looking their best. Lighting and other effects appear to have been dialed back a bit, and during the first stage there appears to be a little bit less going on in the background of the city than in original, PC-based release. There’s a few minor graphical changes to keep things ticking over on the headset, however. We had previously seen a snippet of the game that looked pretty blurry, but since-released images promise more of a visual feast.
Epic Games was behind the original Recall, but Gunheart dev Drifter handled this.Īs one of the more graphically impressive titles on the VR marketplace, there’s an expectation to see some of this visual fidelity would be stripped away to ensure it ran at a solid clip on this headset, but nope – Robo Recall looks pretty damn good running on the Quest.
We had the chance to try out the headset, playing Robo Recall, an arcade style FPS that came out in 2017 to fair acclaim, and the results were pretty impressive. It’s an impressive bit of kit, with Oculus talking about cross-play with Rift owners and cross-buy across both products, but at the same price as the new Rift S, set to be released at the same time, is it a neutered experience when stripped of the need for a monster PC?
#ROBO RECALL UNPLUGGED PC#
Designed for people who want a headset geared towards a gaming experience but lacking the high-end PC and are unwilling to part with a hefty chunk of change, the Quest is an all-in-one wireless solution that features room-size VR and motion controls but without these restrictive costs. There’s a considerable gap in the VR market that the new Oculus Quest – set for a Spring release at $399 – is looking to fill.
