Twin Peaks VR

Ok. Byłem nastawiony bardzo pozytywnie jako fan serialu, który oglądałem parę razy. Niedopracowane niskobudżetowe demo. Szkoda czasu.

Got this for my dad. I think he likes it.

Twin Peaks è la serie televisiva più importante di tutti i tempi. Qualcuno che non ha idea di cosa sia la storia della televisione potrebbe storcere il naso davanti a questa affermazione, ma – dati alla mano – è davvero difficile controbattere un dato così oggettivo. Questo non solo perché l’epopea di David Lynch e Mark Frost ha dentro letteralmente tutto, ma soprattutto perché è stata in grado di rivoluzionare la televisione ben due volte: negli anni novanta con le prime due stagioni e tre anni fa con la monumentale terza iterazione. Non starò qui a spiegarvi perché l’opera di ABC e Showtime ha un posto di rilevo nella cultura contemporanea, evidenziata anche dalla recente classifica dei Cahiers du Cinema che la mettono coraggiosamente al primo posto tra i “film” del decennio; ma che sia chiaro a tutti che Collider Games ha messo le mani su un franchise praticamente intoccabile e, come è giusto che sia, si deve prendere le sue responsabilità. Twin Peaks VR è il primo adattamento videoludico dell’omonima serie, prodotto da Collider Games in esclusiva per i caschetti di realtà virtuale su PC. Quello che propone il titolo è una sorta di walking simulator ambientato in sei livelli differenti, che ripercorrono idealmente tutta la serie, ma che si concentrano prevalentemente sull’ultima arrivata. Nei panni di Dale Cooper andremo quindi a riscoprire alcuni dei luoghi iconici che hanno ormai plasmato la memoria collettiva, accompagnati dall’immaginario che abbiamo imparato ad amare, personaggi iconici e le splendide musiche di Angelo Badalamenti. Nel nostro breve viaggio ci verrà chiesto anche di risolvere dei piccoli enigmi ambientali semplicissimi che aggiungono un tocco di videogioco a quella che è di fatto un’esperienza pensata esclusivamente per i fan della saga. Raccontato così, qualunque amante di David Lynch dovrebbe impazzire anche solo all’idea, ma purtroppo l’esperienza funziona soltanto sulla carta.

I had high hopes for this, so I was willing to overlook a fair amount in order to like it. Unfortunately, this isn't worth $10--I'm not certain it's even worth your time if you pick it up for free. I am a huge Twin Peaks fan, which made this even more of a let-down. Heads-up: if you haven't seen the series and FWWM, don't bother--this won't make any sense to you. If you have seen the series and movie, and are a fan, then you'll probably do what I did and pick this up out of curiosity. That's fine--but I encourage you to wait for a steep sale (50% off or more). My complaints are mostly reflected in other reviews: 1. Mediocre graphics quality. It doesn't feel like you're "in the series" at all. The Red Room is so limited and poorly rendered (especially the oddly low ceiling) ... plus it's frustrating without hints turned on (the coffee cup is strangely difficult to pick up--I initially gave up and assumed it couldn't be picked up). 2. Very little content (less than 1.5 hours for me; there were a couple "trophies" I didn't grab, but I have no desire to play more in order to find them--it seems pointless) 3. Odd game play (I'm not sure what to call this other than "wander around and try to do a few things"; it's not a puzzle game since nothing in it qualifies as an actual puzzle (holding scraps of paper up to a vertical surface that then magically rejoin is not a puzzle) ... you just wander and do a few things (some obvious, some random), are teleported to another location from the series, and repeat until an unsatisfying conclusion (staring at a flat still image from the series). 4. There's no story. There's a sort-of logical progression through the scenes, but that's being generous. Plus, it's not clear who you're playing as. Cooper? Probably ... but your actions in the police station are odd (scouring for clues to open locked doors). And if you're Cooper (which would fit the ending), then the green glove makes no sense. In short, this is a poorly constructed mess. Avoid unless you're a hard-core Twin Peaks fan, and even then, wait for a steep discount so that you don't feel suckered.

Buy only if you are a real Twin Peaks fan, else this all wont make sense to you.

If you are a die hard fan and wish to do the Audrey dance in the lodge then buy it for the achievements or just cos ur in the mood for the coffee. It's actually quite cool to experience the sheriff's apartment in VR. But is it an actual good, game or experience? not really.

I'm going to start of with saying this game is very short, which is reflected in the price. I'm a big fan of Twin Peaks so as an owner of a VR headset I had to get this game even the the trailer for the game looked mediocre. The game itself contains different scenarios that you play through where you jump between locations. Most locations seem to be derieved from The Return but you do get to visit classic locations like the Twin Peaks Sheriffs Department, The Black Lodge and walk through the forest among the douglas firs and visit the location where Laura Palmer was murdered. The graphics are ok, not the best I've seen but also not the worst. I haven't captured any footage or analysed frame rates but the game felt smooth to play for me. I played the game on the Valve Index with a RTX 2080, i7 9700k and 16GB RAM. The controlls offer teleport based and smooth locomotion which is a huge plus(but which should be expected in 2019/2020). You walk around and investigate/inspect different objects to progress through the game as well as solve some easy puzzles. This is not a challenging game it's more of a VR experiences. So would I recommend this game? Both yes and no. If you've never seen Twin Peaks or just know about it I don't really see any reason for you to get it since the game will most likely leave you unsatisfied. If you are a big Twin Peaks fan and really want to experiences what it's like standing and looking around in some of these iconic locations then I would recommend it.
