My PSVR2 has arrived and so have VR Rock lenses! This sponsor is no joke, these are game changers. Thank you so much for your help, I CAN FINALLY SEE IN VR. Best quality I’ve experienced in virtual reality. I’m now preparing to record a bunch of videos on the new headset, I will no longer have to crop the screen to make the footage zoomed in to remove the corners PSVR1 made. I’m so excited!
since Firewall Ultra has been so criticized everywhere, I’m either gonna get Pavlov or Breachers.
Try Alvo too, it's just plain fun
@@shapeshifter-theamorphousg3264 wait the servers are up and working?! Awesome! I had it on psvr1 and a month after getting it, i started having match making issues. Whenever I could get in a match, my character wouldn’t move. I might just try it out again!
@@TheMostInspiredFool There's a small upgrade fee to the PSVR2 version but it's well worth it. There are lulls in lobby activity during the day, but the committed veterans keep it ticking along nicely. And the visual upgrades make it much sharper now, althoug the visuals are still nothing to get excited over.
@@PrenticeSummerscales noted! Thank you
Terrible regret after buying it
Same man,I thought this game was gonna be great seeing as the first one was one of the best vr shooters. All they had to do was improve on that.
The game is trash. most of my friends have bought a Quest 3 and now play Contractors showdown or Breachers if they want a tactical VR game. Contracters is like Warzone in VR and really addictive. I've been playing my friends Quest 3 and want to buy one
Is there still online mode or just single player campaign?
@@Alien_isolationist there's still online but the waiting times for lobbies can be horrendous depending on time u want to play
Refund it, still possible
The 2 things that killed it for me, were the awful aiming that felt like a constant battle to aim just right, and the even worse decision to throw grenades using eye tracking. Zero hour felt PERFECT using the aim controller. Throwing grenades and aiming. Otherwise, ULTRA has incredible production values
The game would still be alive and well if it had no lobbies and just a normal server browser screen like pavlov where the players set the amount of rounds or time limits, and you can see how many are on the server before joining. The other jank pales in comparison to the excruciating hell that is that lobby. Players had been screaming at FCE to keep us out of the lobby for 5 freaking years!
The playerbase is small, the issues are there, no updates will be made for the game, and yet:
I have some great intense games with friendly, fun people.
Plus the graphics, lightning and sound design are truly impressive.
Despite all the drama and issues it's my favorite PSVR2 game. 🤷♂️
I remember the first sign that the game was not gonna be great was when the CEO of First Contact said he doesn’t believe in manual reload in VR. I mean what the heck?
Before the game released, the studio did backtrack and say that the option would be added later as part of a realistic mode. Unfortunately that update was never rolled out.
@@PrenticeSummerscales yeah I think their true problem was that they made a game that they thought was good instead of really understanding what consumers wanted
There were far bigger problems than that
It's very easy to see. They made a game more in line with the old wand controllers. They thought VR gamers would not notice after playing a game like pavlov . In other word pathetic.
Although the sound was mostly on par with FWZH, there was some weird redirection that occurred on some maps causing sounds to sound like they were coming from a completely different direction than they were. This was most noticable on Crossroads, almost like sounds couldn't penetrate walls and would be funnelled by open spaces. I found this an issue on multiple occasions, running in the wrong direction to attempt to engage on a firefight.
I really enjoy the game because of the tactical gameplay and the environments are the best on any shooter.
They should make it free and get a team to add manual reloads, may not make a profit but I think the game really could boom which would be good for psvr2
@@TheVirtualrealitygamerI love your enthusiasm but this type of game is dying rapidly. everyone wants to play the battle royale mode now. Contracters showdown will have this as well as Escape from Tarkof and Ghosts of Tabour. Firewall ultra is Dying it's just a matter of time before Sony pull the plug on the Servers of Ultra as the game is a **** show
It had a rough start but i still enjoyed the game and got the platinum trophy for both ultra and zero hour!
Darth Firewall the Wise
We luckily had Pavlov, Synapse, and Crossfire Sierra Squad etc so even though Firewall Ultra bombed disappointingly we have other games.
I was really looking forward to firewall but then bang release date came and I couldn't even find a game , then 3 months later the devs abandoned it , what a great £40 well spent 👏 😂
Firewall Ultra is still better than other shooters. It doesn't have to have full reload mechanics to be a good game. Some people don't care. We do however need a game with working mechanics, no need for eye tracking for grenades, lots of bugs, gun progression and VRAF stuff. This is a tactical shooter 4v4 not 5. You need appreciate the game for what is. We play private lobbies starting games quicker.
Even as it stands its the best shooter for vr in my opinion, just short on new players. They should put it out at heavy reduction. You can turn off eye tracking which makes it easier to aim nades. The vader 1 gunstock works great with it. This game is failure to launch. An injection of players and its back to better than the og firewall. You just need to accept it was mis sold and put up with the button interactions and button reload, personally these dont matter to me. Such a pity and it made me angry what happened between sony and FCE, they screwed up the die hard zero hour fans like me who only bought all this sony sh1t to play ultra which wasnt as avertised. Still annoyed actually even though its still my most played game 😢😂
Yo,,,10k very soon!! You celebrating??
yes! so close.
There’ll be a special video for that milestone :)
@Jammyhero
You deserve it bro. GT is in your sites! Lol 😁
Still love the game, still my favourite of all vr shooters. Spectacular visuals and they were fixing issues before closed down. Imo didn't deserve all the criticism and I got 90 hours from it mostly ex fil mode.
LOL!
Criticism isn't "hate" ding dong. Why do people like you so flippantly use words like that?
@@jessekoepp3928 I am sorry you have been triggered, I sometimes forget words can be so powerful and some people are particularly delicate.
@@iwantalot "triggered" lol
They make idiotic mistakes, and I'm "triggered"? Keep telling yourself your mental fantasies are real I guess, too scary out here in the real world I suppose.
Couldn't agree more, the game is in a very playable state, you can have intense matches, and it looks truly amazing.
A lot of people seem to settle for simple visuals in VR, but for me good graphics heighten the immersion a lot.
5:00 Breachers is 5v5. Firewall Ultra is 4v4.
And yet it's still full price
Played many hours in Firewall Zero hour, with Aim controller talking to unknown people to team up and cooperate better. Great game (with limitations) enough to make people wish its version for PSVR2….. and then… we got this I only played once or twice for all these reasons. Total regret after buying it
Despite the fall the game still looks like a lot of fun 😕 and I will still try it if I could maybe I will 😏 btw this kinda looked a bit funny 1:47
For me even though the matchmaking was broken the eye tracked grenades were terrible the aiming constantly felt like a fight the constant button presses for interaction still aren’t the reason I completely dropped the game what pushed me away completely was the absurd leveling system the amount of time it took to get enough money and xp to do anything it takes like 10 hours to get a sight in the game and even longer to level up guns and get attachments for those so I just got bored of the insane grind that even after my maybe 15 hours felt like I had nothing I wanted just the same guns with a couple different characters🤷♀️I loved it to just couldn’t get passed the grind with everything in my personal life but I mean even if I was rich and lived alone a game should never be that hard to get things LOL (also the fact that it literally is 2 rounds so it’s 10 minutes down time and 5 minutes playing sometimes less idk who chose that make it first to 5 or something i wanna play the game not sit half the time im on it)
This game should be greatly reduced in price or at the very least add it to the PS plus library. As an original Firewall Zero Hour fan, the game was a huge disappointment
That game is the only one i regretted buying. The lack of VR features( manual reloading, grande throwing, etc) and the terrible progression system kill the game for me.
Edit. Oh. The terrible lobby system, too.
Before Breechers released I think most people went a different direction with Crossfire or Pavlov or a little later Alvo. Aside from Solaris bombing, costing them time and money the other shooters being released in a good to very good state (except Crossfire’s broken MP) is what really killed the studio IMO.
I forgot I actually bought this game. Was one of the first games I felt duped by & wished I had a refund.
It should’ve just been a flat screen game.
I don't care what people say negative things about Firewall Ultra, because I feel that it still is the best shooter for PSVR2 period. I clocked in 300 hours so far and pretty much play this everyday. People, now these days have very little patience and they rather play solo and that is what killed Firewall Ultra. Other than the low player base, this game has everything to succeed. If you have more than 8 close friends, this game will give you countless amount of fun. I just wished the developer didn't shut down. If they continued developing porting over more contractors and some great Zero Hour levels, this game could have been more than perfect.
Sony / Playstation should give it out for free for the PSVR 2 owners
Biggest let down ever!!!!
Tis a sad tale indeed.
Especially for Us, having been there since before the beginning of FW:ZH... 😒
Clicked on this hoping the title was a star wars reference 👍
The server matchmaking had to be perfect at launch, and without a pubbluc beta is was still a mess. The community just moved on to other games.
There is a power that can keep your lobbies...from dying.
Is it possible to learn this power?
Not without beta testing.
I don’t mind button presses. I hate manual reloading. And I can’t throw a grenade in any vr shooter to save my life, literally. I think if they weren’t going to add manual reload, there should have been an aim 2.0
It could have been so good.
I might be wrong but firewall zero hour had consistent lobbies. The problem was that if ever the "host" player quit, everyone would be booted back to main menu.
When it comes to Firewall Ultra, it had an unacceptable launch that doomed it. Had it launched in the state it's in today, it would absolutely have been successful in my opinion. It was just beginning to get some polish and the studio shut down. 😢. If only they had just delayed the game 6 months or a year. What could have been! I was a big fan even with button presses. Still isn't anything like it that gives me the same rush and adrenaline.
The artificial aiming button press totally killed it for me. I could hold my controller by my waist, press the aim button and automatically aim..... this is trash for VR. WTF!
Only 3 or 4 players use the ads bullsh1t so you should give it another try. A gun stock like vader 1 helps alot.
yay
All they had to do ist listening to their Community from the OG Firewall Fanbase.. The First Firewall was way better thanks to the Aim Controller.
Probably one the biggest flops in gaming history, it was more of a case of what’s right with it rather than what was wrong with it. The game from hell. Always leaves a bitter taste.
the tragedy that closed Sony's VR studios.i buy over 25 game on the psvr2 but not this one because the bad review on youtube
How can they get it so wrong 😑
Those developers made the exact same mistakes, for three different games, THREE times in a row.
Then they blamed the "VR community" for *their* failures!?
They got exactly what they deserved imo.
At least U weren't 1000% disrespectful (like every other media source, YT or elsewhere) and i thank U for that; cause the game nor the DEVs deserves it! I will say, if anyone thought this game was gonna launch without a hitch (nor a Public BETA, which plenty must of {and shouldn't have} 🤦♂️), just goes to show how little they know of Game Development and EVEN LESS when doing so with SONY!
Which brings me to a bigger problem and that's SONY themselves. Knowing what We do now about SONYs plans for VR in the future, i believe that they wud have "VITA'd" PSVR2 'regardless' of how well it sold and the same goes for FCE, FW:U & all of the other Studios they have and have shut down. 🤷♂️
Maybe, We wud have gotten all the seasons and everything that wud have come with them if..... This 1 game hadn't launched so poorly, F*** No!; more PSVR2's has sold, (another) NO! I think it and all those connected to it were doomed from before they even started. [imo] SONY thinks ppl are gonna go buy PS5s cause they used a PSVR2 on a PC and liked it..... What a F'n JOKE! WHY WUD THEY? When they themselves didn't even support their own product! Such a sad and laughable idea...
[rant time is up]
Damn... Thats a waste of $600 (game + headset)
Quest 3 is looking a lot more intriguing 😮
Biggest disappointment of 2023
