This game is very important. It demonstrates that VR is a wonderful medium and can be for just taking a stroll. It reminds us that it's about virtual "REALITY" whether real or imagined, and about BEING in these amazing worlds (regardless of what's being done).
Thanks Jammy. Hope you're feeling better. On Wednesday's Gamescast (on Without Parole ) they mention the full-body addition, but nothing about improved water physics, increased resolution, or native 90 frame-rate (infact, Bryan even stipulates that the game uses reprojection). Do you remember where you heard of the improvements? If so, please let Bryan know, because neither he, Myles or Wes seem to be aware. Cheers.
the water physics was discussed on their discord I think, talking about how the whitewater rapids lead them to having to overhaul how water interacts with the kayak. As for native 90, Arend, the lead CEO/dev also stated that this was the case a while back on the discord too. As for increased resolution I think this was on the patch notes on twitter, but it’s very noticeable on older maps especially now! Thanks for the good wishes for my health, and have a good day :)
Update is cool, map is probably the best in the game. But I’d like an option to turn off full body, because the rigging is pretty bad. There are arms breaking and going 360 all the time, and it really breaks immersion for me. I liked the decision to not have a full body before.
Appreciate the vid! I wasn't actually that impressed with the visuals of Kayak at launch. Would you say the improvements are that noticeable/significant and can we play the base game with them?
you can play the base game with the improvements! the visuals look quite a bit sharper, but i can’t comment on how they affect the original maps as i haven’t played them yet - another commenter said it looks better now though!
This looks very cool. I'm also hoping that Whitewater VR game gets ported over to PSVR 2 from PC. Its graphics don't look as good as Kayak, but the focus on rapids in multiple stages makes it interesting to me.
Looks amazing at night. Stars and full moon out. U do see a bit more moura effect. But if you turn the brightness down by 2 or 3 notches take it away abit.
They have hinted heavily in the press release for this update that multiplayer is the next thing on the agenda. That said, this game is already worth every penny.
@@allhailrockandroll fair enough. I enjoy playing coop games with my family. Arizona Sunshine 2 with my teen has been so much fun. I prioritize buying coop games.
One of the game that made me bought psvr2 but was very disapointed.. the graphics are nice but not photorealistic.. and the game is just boring after 5min.. coz you litteraly have nothing to do except doing kayak things..... that's why they never tried to launch a demo imo.. and seriously who take this game to play multiplayer... but that dlc looks quite cool though.. but for the price..no😅
Loving the love being sent to Better Than Life Studio lately!

That keanu Reeves film I seen in 1996 convinced me☺☺
Perfect game for throwing the fam n friends in. Jaw dropping visuals.
PS+ Premium free game on June 18th. 👍
A screenshot I saw said Extra as well, but I'm not actually sure if that was right or not now. Judging by the blog it's just Premium.

@@Jammyhero Appreciate your clarification. :)
The word you were after was water caustics

it would be great to have the option!
The option is in settings now

@@Jammyhero cheers dude 👍
@@howieb4217the sharpness is especially noticeable in the new map and Antarctica. The beach one still looks a bit unclear
Relase a demo on this game please
Got no arms in my version, yet have the DLC, and no notice I have an update
This looks very cool.

Cant wait, its on ps+ in a couple days
Assetto corsa evo on console PSVR2 HOPE SO
Jammyhero Check out the other maps they made them sharper. Australia one look 100 times better imo.
I was hoping they would, i’ll take a look!
@@Jammyhero let me know what u think. Plz
Impressive before update
8:03 rapids? I would like some water particles in future... Still aways away from photorealistic, but looks pretty nonetheless.
Can’t wait for the main game to come to ps plus in the 18th
Oooo been wanting a reason to come back to this game.
Hello can you tell me what pc you have, GPU etc, regards
I have a 6700XT and Ryzen 5600, 16gb of Ram
Can that have 4k flat screen gaming and 2k per eye VR..comes to pc stuff I'm Lost.
How sad it be not too have A PSVR 3..Sony Don't give up not when the tech in its infancy
I keep reading everywhere that this game is reprojected. So it seems that you were right actually.
I PLAYED IT ABSOLUTELY WORTH EXPERIENCING👏 my video is also on the way to being uploaded 😅
This should be free DLC or cost same as walkabour minigolf map dlc. This one cost too much for just one map that doesn't last more than 10 minut ride.
Heard it's not looking good at night ?
Your right it's way to dark
Looks amazing at night. Stars and full moon out. U do see a bit more moura effect. But if you turn the brightness down by 2 or 3 notches take it away abit.
@@p4ddy100 👍🏻
It does look like 90 hz. Bunch of screen tearing here on UA-cam
First comment and like
Love your videos
I won’t buy until multiplayer. I still don’t think they do it.

@trdaniels333 Oh man that sounds like a good time. Wish one of my friends would jump in the damn pool so I have someone to coop with regularly.
Multiplayer is a bonus Great game from launch and 1 of the 1st I showcase

Its not update, its a paid DLC
the Full body IK system and visual improvements are free updates to all players
For anyone watching pls don’t buy this game , IT WILL BE FREE FOR PS PLUS ON THE 18th🎉
Only on Premium I believe
Psvr need all help and funds it can get more buy more games they will make.
It's not free, your renting it. Not buying it
Ok graphics but oh my god what a boring game…
The game did not get an update at all, but only a paid DLC level. No other enhancements or updates to the game, so stop saying the game got updated
the game did get updated. The full body IK system and visual improvements are FREE to all players who own the game.
it was updated! Do you not see the fullbody/arms now? That's an "update".
@@Fadeout815 No, not on mine, even though have the DLC, never an indication of a new update in the store
@@dennisrogers6786the game had a download including the DLC. Try manually updating it.
@@jayr3053 May need to uninstall and reinstall it I think. Stange it did not auto update like games do
