- Congratulations to the @EspireVR team Digital Lode on the release of Espire 2 on the Meta Quest 2. It was great to work with the team and I look forward to trying out the final version of the game!
Check out the game on the Quest store:

As explained in the video, I consulted on the alpha version of the game, meaning I gave some guidance and advice on the design of player mechanics, AI behaviours and how those two things intersect.

Congrats to the team, I'm glad you got it out the door. Perhaps time for a well-earned rest!
Thanks so much for all your help, Tommy! You were fantastic to work with 🔥
Love your channel. Your ghost recon video from awhile ago really got me to look at games completely differently.
Thanks for your time and effort.
Got to play a demo of the game at PAX Aus this year, the game looks great. Unfortunate it's a Quest 2 exclusive, though. I'd love to see it on one of the platforms I played the original on.
That being said, might still grab it just to show support for a local team.
Honestly a great channel. I'd love to see you do an episode about the AI of Untitled Goose Game! Keep up the good work!
It seems really awesome, but the exclusivity on Meta is a deal-killer. It's nice to look at though, and I can hold out a sliver of hope that the game will get released from exclusivity prison eventually
That's cool you consulted on the AI, that makes me more interested! I love VR, I play weekly, but the first Espire game had noticeably weak AI (in my opinion) and it made the encounters way too easy and uninteresting.
Still a fine enough game by VR indie standards, but not as good as it could've been. I was hoping they overhauled the AI but I hadn't heard one way or another if they had, so this is good news to me.
Christ, the first 'console exclusive' I've seen for a new generation of video game consoles. What a shitty thing to see jump generations. Love your videos, Tommy.
Will you ever do an AI analysis for this game?
Unfortunately the quest 2 is part of facebook so I won't touch it with a 10ft pole. Game looks neat though.
you're really missing out. I've hated Apple since the 80s, but I still buy iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks for my family. it's the best choice for them. I hate Facebook, haven't been on in 6 years. and I don't like Zuckerberg. but he is doing more for the VR industry than most
@@jeffmccloud905 I will concede he is doing stuff for the vr industry by underselling the headsets. But a mandatory login into a platform that facilitates amongst other things genocide, no thank you. Everything facebook touches can go die in a ditch.
@@Zarven1 the Facebook account is no longer necessary. You need to create a separate Meta account (this is the same as SteamVR and Oculus previously, and next year Apple). You can't get around a login, but you don't need a Facebook account. EU would never put up with that shit. I knew they'd have to remove that restriction
was interested until 5 seconds in "..exclusive to the quest 2"
while it's very impressive, i think vr games exclusive to one system is detrimental to the VR games market as a whole. It takes extra time, but exclusivity deals, just ensures less games for vr owners overall. And it's a real shame, since the game market still is arguably sparse
would wait PC VR version((
Too bad it's hardware-locked. No matter how good, exclusives aren't worth getting an entire second VR headset just to play them.
Not to mention getting a first one...
oh so this is a new super mario game?
A Pure Stealth Game is all well and good, but does it let you wasulate?
I think we need to save that for another sequel.

This is an Oculus exclusive, right? Guess I'll pass then.
eehh
Eh, no matter what, vr still hasn't crossed that line that makes you think "I HAVE to try that in vr" let alone enough of those to own a vr headset. They all look like ", but in vr and worse"
Have you checkd out Half Life: Alyx?
I'd say beat saber is that, has been from the beginning of mainstream consumer VR.
