  • PRE-ORDER ZERO CALIBER 2 ON QUEST: bit.ly/ZC2Quest
    WISHLIST ON STEAM: bit.ly/ZC2Steam
    Welcome to the 1st episode of our new 'Road to Release' devlog series, where we'll go through everything worth knowing about Zero Caliber 2, our upcoming VR military shooter boasting a full-blown single-player/Co-op campaign, PvP game modes, and advanced modding.
    In this episode, I'm going a bit into how Zero Caliber came to be, how we're approaching the sequel, and the difficulties we're facing. I'm also breaking the ice around release platforms.
    Whether you're new to our community or a long-time veteran, thank you for sticking around, and stay tuned for future episodes!

    Can't wait for this, I really loved how ZC1 had a campaign and to me that's a huge part of an FPS game too, for some reason I'm not really enjoying multiplayer games in VR as much as on PC, but having a very long campaign with exp and unlocks + zombies is exactly what I needed

    When I got my Quest 2 a few years ago I was going back and forth between the 4 high end options for FPS military shooters: Alvo, Contractors, Onward, and Zero Caliber. After exhaustively comparing features I went with Zero Caliber because of an actual sport driven campaign. Since then you guys added the PVP, but even before that I was surpass to find I really enjoyed the wave shooting multilayer. Over the years I've had the chance to try those other titles and I'm still absolutely sure I made the right call. Your game plays better all around than any of those other titles. I've already preordered the sequel and I'm very excited to see you are doing these episodes. It's small studios like yours that make VR worth owning.

    I first purchased ZC1 on quest to play with my friends and then ended up playing the steam version much later. I was shocked to find that they were not at all the same game and to be honest the quest version in hindsight seems completely phoned in. there were never enough enemies for multiple players and the game is in general much shorter. The PC version was so amazing and was full of large battles with tones of enemies to go around. I'm really dismayed by this news and am very hesitant to buy the game on standalone hardware. Not trying to be negative, I really am a fan.

    I'm really looking forward to this game, love the first zero caliber so much. Missions were difficult, long, and fun to grind in for more cash. But here's the thing...
    Why would you start a series of devlogs intended to promote the game and how current progress.... but call it "road to release" if it doesn't have a release date yet. I'm not sure about the whole Gambit! debacle as I haven't played that, but Zero Caliber was great. It's just that without a release date yet it probably would have been better to decide one right as you put this series out OR you guys should've titled this series differently. It just seems kinda disingenuous.

    It's a catch 22 and a bummer because this is one of the few devs that are at least trying to make their VR games look decent. I was very excited to see what the sequel could do with the graphics so to know that quest 34 is the ceiling sucks a bit. But if there was no quest, there would most likely be NO ZC 2. We are in that crappy purgatory era of VR. Where devs are interested but the return just isn't there and not worth the risk. So essentially, we want this to do well on quest so all your PCVR elitist like me, buy the game when it comes out and support the devs.

We r kinda over having games limited by the Quest 2 and getting some basic "patches" for quest 3... we want games utilising the full power of the Quest 3.... which so far, we havent seen at all.. P.S great idea about having it on the Quest platform first coz thats wherenthe majority of players are... even better that u wont have it on psvr2 as thats a DEAD platform that even sony gave up on....would rathed have it on PC than psvr2....as PC has X10 more players as psvr2 has lowest player base in VR by far... i duno why people in 2024 would opt for a tethered headset lol... either way will be grabbing this... cheers guys

    Why do all these games and companies do this with their sequels to previous vr games. Stride Fates, Espire 2, and now Zero Caliber 2 are going to the meta store before steam vr, and Espire 2 won't even come to steam vr which is just disappointing. Why be like these devs and companies just not remembering their original community that has gotten them to where they are. Who cares if you delay the game by a year or two. A GOOD sequel needs time and effort instead of releasing early access or buggy or just unplayable at launch. Just treating the quest kids to your game because they will give you all the money or at least more money than steam would give you. I'm not trying to be mean but trying to tell you guys that you shouldn't do something like that. Zero Caliber 2 should be different than the other vr games these days, and should respect their community like they did in 2018 to 2020. I bet I don't understand development more than actual devs that work on vr games but I do know how it feels to not get vr games on steam just because of management wanting money and to put in not as much effort. I hope Zero Caliber 2 is good and a great game for everyone to enjoy for all platforms. But stop with treating people with quest headsets better and let the people who spends hundreds of dollars for a good vr setup have games like this. I love Zero Caliber and played over 50 hours on steam vr, and I still slightly love the game. But I don't like how this is going with vr games these days and I want people to understand the issue with releasing games to only quest and not steam vr. So I understand you can't really change or delay anything because of preordering for your game being on meta store but at least know that they aren't your only fans.

      Because VR is survived by QUEST and its players and that's the hard TRUTH wether you like it or not! It it was not for the QUEST platform, VR would be DEAD by now..... with only a few who can afford expensive Pcs plus expensive headsets..... and in this economy??? You gota be kidding. You should wake up everyday and thank meta for keeping VR alive..... the most minute of players can afford an expensive rig and expensive Vr headset..... VR would be absolutely dead as devs wouldn't spend money on the least viable gaming platform.... think outside your limited scope of pcvr... the days of PCVR are dead!!! Wake up to the truth

    • @BenBart30
      @BenBart30 2 місяці тому +1

      @The_darkside_of thats what people thought about pc gaming, how it was too expensive, and it would just die. But even when consoles exist being a much cheaper alternative, pc gaming is still maybe the biggest gaming platform with even smaller platforms just for the pc. Vr would not die if the quest never existed. Sure, it won't be as big as today, but you are missing the point. I am complaining about how all games just launch on quest, and a lot of them never come to steam. This hurts a lot in the pcvr community because of these selfish devs which were already able to release pcvr games but only release to quest for the money and don't think about the people who spend loads of money for vr just to not play great games. I understand if some devs can't afford to release their game to a different and expensive platform, but these devs have already made a great pcvr game and are able to do that again. But their decision to not do that for a couple of months or maybe years if they take too long sucks. You probably own the quest and good for you. But don't act like it's the only platform for vr and the only way you can play. I just want devs to know how we feel, and I don't want people like me to be waiting years for a sequel to Zero Cailber just for it to release on quest first.
