BeefeaterXO

It's an advertisement for Beefeater gin. It's a 3D spherical projection movie. And it's free. People are disappointed that it's not a game, but in my opinion, it's a pretty good VR experience. You're inserted into a couple of weird scenes, and it's pretty psychedelic. It's a nice promo piece - I'm interested to see more from the developer. (Dabiz Muñoz, for those who don't know, is an internationally recognized chef - that's him, the guy with the mowhok in the video above.) So far, everything the developer offers is free - check out the other ones too!

BeefeaterXO is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this advertisement. Instead of being a game, BeefeaterXO is a software application that's a real weird ego piece... it basically plays a VR video of extremely poor quality advertisement for Beefeater gin, about someone who nobody has ever heard of. Apparently a chef in Spain with a godawfully bad haircut. And this non-game non-interactive video is even worse. Steam is not here to compete with the ads on Youtube. Come on. The whole purpose of this garbage non-game video is to advertise and sell Beefeater gin. Ohh... wait a second, isn't advertising alcohol to the minors on Steam illegal? For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop. There's no loop here, no true interactive feedback. It simply is not a game, it cannot be "played". This has misleadingly been launched in the "Games" section of Steam instead of the "Software" section. This is a common mistake for developers who are new to Steam, or don't understand the difference between games and software which isn't a game. It seems this software published incorrectly as a game is simply lack of experience/knowledge of the correct process. Here's a link for the process to publish non-game software on Steam: [url=https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPublishing?issueid=925]Steam Developer Help With Software Publishing[/url] It's unfortunate this process was not known about/followed, resulting in a software application being published in the wrong place. Publishing things which aren't games on Steam in the Games section as games is misleading to gamers and somewhat harmful, because it pollutes the Steam marketplace and takes away visibility and market exposure for genuine game developers who do the right thing and make games for gamers. There are no gameplay loops in this software, no "gameplay", no meaningful game like interaction. It's a software application and as such has no merits as a video game for gamers. Because of this, I cannot recommend this non-game software as a game to gamers.

BeefeaterXO ist für ein VR Video sehr gut gelungen (von der Bildqualität mal abgesehen). Ich habe bisher nur wenige 360 Grad Videos gesehen die mich überzeugten. BeefeaterXO ist ein surreales Stück VR Videokunst, das meiner Meinung nach, jeder mit einem VR Headset gesehen haben sollte. Der überaus günstige Preis ;-) sollte dem Erlebnis nicht im Wege stehen. Vielen Dank an die Entwickler! Punkte 8/10

This is an ad. And an egh vr experience. Should be clearly labeled as an advertisement and DEFINITELY NOT an adventure game. To be a game you have to have some sort of agency.. A goal / accomplishment / ability to do anything other than just watch a video. This was not a game.

It's REALLY weird, but fun. Here's a video of it: https://youtu.be/isQ_hhOsytM

Experiencia interesante. Videos en 360. Esperaba posicionamiento absoluto que le daría mucho más realismo.

[b]Dünyaca ünlü mutfak şeflerinden birisi olan Dabiz Muñoz'un iç dünyasına yolculuk ettiğimiz sanatsal bir oyun kendisi. Aslında doğru söylemek gerekirse bir oyundan ziyade, eşine benzerine zor rastlayacağımız bir kısa film desek daha doğru olur. Eğer ilginizi çekiyorsa veyahut farklı bir deneyim yaşamak istiyorsanız denemenizi tavsiye ederim.
