Great video, thanks for playing our game! :) Glad you enjoyed it too, this game has been 4 years in the making and I love hearing peoples reactions to playing. Thanks!
We appreciate you putting the time into creating it to this level.. Though We own 13 arcade games in our house and it is closer to what most people probably normally get to having an older arcade.. My son who is 10 years old truly gets to see what it was like back in the day with your Retro arcade build. I think he enjoy it as much as I do.. In VR moving forward, it would be hard to imagine not seeing someone picking you guys up and funding for arcade experiences on new hardware and consoles in the future.. Thanks again..
No chance of any updates, I'd happily pay extra for updates, this is unreal and takes me right back to growing up in the 80s. Dont know what the update might be, bigger arcade, 2nd floor???
Thanks so much for making such an amazing VR Arcade man! me and my bro who lives in Tokyo meetup in VR regularly in the Arcade. The ONLY thing i would Love is a pool table!! Maybe a future update? Thanks again!
You sir are the hero we all needed thank you. It's linked in the description. When they make a version where I can create my own arcade design from scratch I'll put more time into the setup.
That mini Gauntlet lol, that's awesome dude! This looks like a dream game for me. I found the 77077 Arcade & Bar in VRchat which lead me to someone's custom 90's video store mod on Steamvr, which lead me to this lol. I don't think i could get much of it working on my own but i see we can just use other peoples files so that's a good thing. I hope in the future someone streamlines something like this to be much easier to use, drag and drop with a community site for ease of access to files etc, WITH an easy editor to build the rooms of your dreams. Ease being king here lol. But this looks DOPE and i'm planning to snatch it up on sale.
I got a powerful nostalgia by this. And not a sweet one. A melancholic sense of loss for more innocent times, for youth and the sense of everything laying ahead hit me in the chest. Lord, what is wrong with me?
If something is wrong with you it is you never looked the world what it is. Get ready because changes are coming! There will be World War and a new kind of Order. And it was decided to happen way before the 80's.
I have played Time Crisis on it and after it crashed a couple of times when I first started playing, it started behaving itself and I played it perfectly in VR, fantastic experience. I have a couple of Aimtrack guns for my full size cabinet I made, but Im yet to set them up properly in Mame etc.. and also on Dreamcast for house of the dead.
Got the game a while back, started working on setting it up today. (I'll just use the Reddit pack to start with & improve upon that over time). I intend to use this with my HTC Vive tonight for the first time after the demo quite a while ago; I'll reply to my comment & leave my thoughts :)
Tried it and I have to say I am impressed! Games run great & surprisingly controls are good. Using the touchpads as dpads works well! Running this on a GTX980, 4790K's (Default clock speeds) & 8GB's of DDR3 1600; no lag. I did experience stuttering mainly when it had to load new parts from the HDD. What I can see is that a 7200RPM HDD isn't perfect, using an SSD would help (Not using one in that system since it only runs VR.) Overall, I like it a lot! If you like older games & also like VR, must have.
The Vive's controllers are pretty much 1:1 (I didn't believe that, but now that I tried it for 1+ year I totally do!). Light gun games play great, there is also no weird offset/glitching going on. Only thing I could complain about is the Gameboy's lying around & their screens, hard to see in VR unless you dial in the exact settings for your eyes beforehand. But that is no different then the original gameboy ;)
I used to love going to the Daytona Beach Arcade Museum here until it closed recently. I have missed it greatly. This is amazing. I'm guessing it won't ever come to the Oculus Quest, so it has me strongly considering purchasing a gaming laptop just for this alone.
Okay, I went ahead and just ordered a gaming laptop that should be VR compatible with at least Rift specs.Will find out in a few days if it can handle this, and then how it streams to Quest.
Played the demo in the Vive months ago. It was a lot less polished than this, but oh my god, it is crazy fun. It is very gimmicky (especially more so as a VR experience), but not in the derogatory way. Although, despite me spending hours on certain VR games, this isn't something I could play for a long time. It's something I would use to show it off, but it's not very convenient if all you want to do is play a few games. Controlling it in VR can be done in multiple ways. You could just use keyboard and mouse, though then you only get half the experience. My preferred method was using the Vive motion controllers to navigate, then when I'm at a cabinet, I use a gamepad for the games. The last way, which I wouldn't recommend but want to mention since it's quite a fun input method, is using the Vive motion controllers for playing the games. If you hold it vertically, it can be used like a joystick, and the touchpads are divided into sections so that each quadrant is a different button (AXBY/DPAD). I didn't get a chance to try any lightgun games, unfortunately.
Ryan S thanks for sharing Ryan, I'd love to try a Vive with this. Even without it's never going to compete with a 3000 game ROM list on a dedicated cabinet, but for a casual dip into old games I really enjoyed the way this presents them. and the carpets. especially the carpets. Sega Genesis and Megadrive classics is a similar style have you tried that on Vive?
That doesn't have VR support unfortunately. You can still play non-VR games in VR, but the game is played on a large virtual TV as if you were playing it in the real world; you aren't inside the game. Only really useful for the gimmick of it and playing on a huge virtual screen that is larger than your desktop monitor, but the resolution of the Vive makes it a tad difficult for games not specifically designed to look great in it. It is more than playable and enjoyable, just doesn't beat playing it on a real monitor. There is a free application for the Vive called Bigscreen, which lets you and a few other VR friends socialise in a virtual house, with it showing everybodies actual desktop. It lets you have a virtual LAN party which is amazing. I often play Rocket League, older Call of Duty games and sometimes even use RetroArch with others. You can project your desktop on the wall so everybody gets a better look at it as well. Something like that is what I think is the best way to play these type of games. It's some of the most fun I've had, especially playing them with random strangers across the world.
Ryan S virtual arcades AND virtual LAN parties! Oh Vive please be added to the Steam sale. That sounds like a really great and social use of the tech I'm very envious of all those Vive owners
Love the video. I downloaded and purchased NRA. Very well done. I am trying to replace Moonwalker with Elevator Action and cannot seem to get it to work. Any tips?
Hey buddy I'm trying to build my own custom arcade in this program but one issue I'm having when adding machines is trying to composite different attract mode videos on the one main video I can't get the new videos to line up exactly right. Can you tell me what app you used to composite the attract mode video? also do you have any arcade art packs or know where to find new ones? I made a Killer Instinct arcade which came out ok but not perfect and would like to avoid making more because it's so time consuming if there is a website that has machines or art work packs .dds or png files that you know of please do tell. if you can help that would be awesome.
Quick question: is it possble to use different controller for playing the games? For example, imagine that I have an arcade stick and a Snes controller, can I configure it in such a way that I can play some games with the arcade stick and some with the Snes controller? And will I still be able to use the Vive wands to move around? It's very promising, (especially for the light gun games for me since it is not that easy to play light gun games on HD TVs nowadays).
It is, the front end calls the emulators and the regular options for controllers etc can be configured in the normal way in the emulators. For example MAME can have configurations saved per game, including controller customisation
How does multiplayer work for this? I want to play with a friend. The whole point is to play ROMs right? But I've heard you can't play ROMs online. So how does this game work? What's the point if you can't play ROMs with your friends?
Great video, thanks for playing our game! :)
Glad you enjoyed it too, this game has been 4 years in the making and I love hearing peoples reactions to playing. Thanks!
Dec Doyle Great to see you here and thanks for making it. Really hope to have some VR kit one day to try it out properly

YAY you're using the pack I put on reddit!!!!!!
You sir are the hero we all needed thank you. It's linked in the description. When they make a version where I can create my own arcade design from scratch I'll put more time into the setup.
Its not working for me :( says it has been deleted

your getting old mate. Look at me, I'm 44 years old and I'm still playing with toy guns.
If something is wrong with you it is you never looked the world what it is. Get ready because changes are coming! There will be World War and a new kind of Order. And it was decided to happen way before the 80's.
@@Phuketwordsbrother You should not play with toy guns if you are 44. You should grow up and look around what is happening.
amazing man ^^
WoW!! I'm sold!
I've played it with the Vive. It uses pretty standard VR mechanics for object interactions and feels excellent.
I have played Time Crisis on it and after it crashed a couple of times when I first started playing, it started behaving itself and I played it perfectly in VR, fantastic experience.
I have a couple of Aimtrack guns for my full size cabinet I made, but Im yet to set them up properly in Mame etc.. and also on Dreamcast for house of the dead.
Nice stuff, I've played the original New Retro Arcade game in VR and loved it. Had no idea they added a Lazer Tag room to it!
Absolutely amazing in VR. My new fave Steam experience.
They need to add pinball to this...
You a pinball wizard?
I would get that so fast if I had VR.
I really hope they increase the functionality even more. Just imagine a Sims type "arcade builder" ^^
yeah! I would love to see starblade or afterburner 2 type cabinets.

Just brilliant... I would love to own a 80/90 style arcade... I have the perfect place for it but lets just say it sucks being broke!
I cant believe I'm 5 years late, lol I cant believe I've had this oculus for years now lol wow
Hoping that soon they get scanlines for the vertical arcade games fixed soon. Horizontal ones on a vertically-oriented CRT look wrong.
It does remind me of the Xbox Game Room. I might try it out.

I am not seeing the link to the arcade layout your walking thru in the video as you said you'd post?
It’s in the video description text, but this is an old video so I would check for any newer ones if so was you
did you mod the game or are all those arcades already there
I want to get this and find out how to customize it to try to recreate the arcades that i went to growing up.
1:04 what is this emulator\collection name please tell me dantdm used it too i dont know the game
Wow.
I downloaded the demo and people packs but nothing is working.. is there anything I can try or does it need to be the full game

That's great :). I will try to play with this during my holidays then ^^. Thanks for your answer ;).
Absolutely mate you can use your arcade stick :)
How does multiplayer work for this? I want to play with a friend. The whole point is to play ROMs right? But I've heard you can't play ROMs online. So how does this game work? What's the point if you can't play ROMs with your friends?
what are the specs of your pc? if you don't mind me asking. Also, what graphics settings are you using?
Specs were a Ryzen 1700x, 32gb RAM and 1070 GPU...this was a couple of years back so I can't remember the software settings but likely on full whack
@@RMCRetro ok thanks!
Can you not play the light gun games with a VR hand controller? surely that would be miles better than using a mouse sat down etc?
You can and I've heard it works very well. Sadly I don't have a VR setup!
Me neither :( I'd love to try the cinema room in VR, I really need to get a HTC Vive
Can you use virtual pinball roms on this as well?
President Snow no, maybe keep an eye on it though perhaps they will add pinball in future
11:16 "Winners don't use drugs" haha a message from the FBI director. Was that actually part of any game ?
Yep Turtles In Time, which is the game here. It was on a lot of arcade games back in the day.
how do you down load the pack
The link is in the description, thanks for watching
What was that bad ass guy with the Uzi and Mullet? Lol
jny78 kung fury. Go watch it on youtube now and thank me later 😆
it's a sick movie, best retro style movie ever in my opinion. 👌👍
Playstation Home.....is that you?
