Virtual Hunter

The game runs very poorly on my 3070

Though I have extremely limited time on this game, I think I would find it enjoyable, however I can't find the sweet spot on graphics. I have a 3080 with the Vive Pro 2, and unless I have the game on majority low settings along with my headset display on "Performance" 2448x1224", I get quite a bit of lag, jitter of freezing. Generally I would not be too concerned about graphic quality but in order to see what your hunting at far distances, some clarity would be nice. Currently, if I'm tracking a deer, I'll see a brown blob moving in the distance. Maybe it's just my computer / Settings, but unless I figure out how to improve the graphic quality without constant choppiness, I likely wont play it all that much.

I really wanted to like this game, and tried to find the positives... But it's currently too difficult to find them. It does not feel well optimized. I had a lot of frame drops, glitches and issues from the start. I found turning off the stabilization options helped with some of the major frame drops and reduced the gun jank in the tutorial, as with it on, the gun would get stuck in the air or near my face making it impossible to use. Once the stabilization was turned off, I could use the gun without much of an issue, only I'm left handed, which an option for that hasn't been added, so if you want to hold your breath and shoot, you need to use your right hand to pull the trigger, left hand to hold your breath, to which I am very inaccurate like that. Being left handed, I struggled, as I had no way to stabilize the view from the options without a ton of gun jank or being able to hold my aim steady with my breath. Then on top of that, while trying to aim and shoot, the lens to the scope would black out randomly, adding to the difficulty of just aiming, which at a couple of points during my gameplay, I might have actually been able to hit something if the lens didn't suddenly go black, even with the wobbly aim. This added to my frustration trying to play. After completing the tutorial, which seemed to take more time than it should due to the issues, I finally got to start the game, only to find it was more of a walking simulator than anything. I had to turn down all the settings just to make it run smoothly, even though I have a powerful computer. Turning down the graphics made the visuals look blurry and I kept getting what looked like VHS distortion lines in my vision every so often, going up when I looked up or down when I looked down. The height adjustment and seated options didn't really do anything other than add crouch and prone to the right thumbstick down/up motion which I was grateful for, but because my only option is to play seated due to being in a wheelchair, I ran about at hobbit height. I was kind of expecting to be at the hight I had set in the options, but it didn't seem to do anything, the the holsters could be adjusted without an issue. Interacting with some of the settings in the options would sometimes activate the the slider above or below the one I was attempting to adjust, which added to my frustration. As I was live streaming my first experience playing this game, I got some ideas from the viewers in chat to try out, and ended up tracking some deer for a while only to find a problem with the phone tracker from time to time; when taking photos of the animals footprints, a set of tracks would say it was a particular type of deer one moment, then looking at the same tracks again with the phone or holding over the tracks for too long and it would change to a different deer with different information. The sounds, atmosphere and what I saw of the graphics when they were up high, all looked looked amazing, and I was so excited to see the Ai responses from the animals, as it sounded so good from what I was described to me by those that suggested this game for me to play. But in the time I played, I found the gameplay very slow going, as tracking an animal can be quite a long process, especially when you are trying to keep down wind, so it doesn't pick up your scent, while navigating a huge open world. But while being stealthy, and being very careful to avoid making any noise from the environment, I tracked the same deer for over 40 minutes, just to find some of the tracks under a rock or tree stump, and I couldn't scan the tracks under the rock, and things like this really break my immersion. Someone in the chat mentioned it might be how I was connected, I use a link cable connected to a Meta Quest 3 to play PCVR games, and there are sometimes problems and glitches that can be caused with that combination. Now don't get me wrong, I believe this could be a really good game, and I'm sure it is for some. But for whatever reason, I didn't get to have a good experience in the time I played due to the issues I've listed, and I feel it needs some optimization, correction to the UI and Accessibility options before I'd try it again. I was going to be playing this with friends, but I fear that 6 player co-op in it's current state, will just be an even worse experience than I've already had. I will keep an eye out for any updates in the hope that this is improved in the future, as I would love to try this out with friends for hopefully a different and more positive experience, and maybe even try out the solo again. If I get to have a more positive time playing this, I'll update this review.

very good pew pew game

This game is one of the worst VR Games i playd in a long time. I like VR and i love game like The Hunter Call of the Wild or Way of the Hunter and i hoped for a little bit of that expirience. But this game here feels like a programming prokect of a teenager 15 Years ago. The graphics are a wild mix of good looking rocks, and some that could be straight up importet from the first Tombraider games. The forced tutorial is annoying and the inconsistant menü handling is realy bad. This would e not that bad if the game would cost like 5€ but the regular price is 24,50€ at the moment for this money you get VR Games that are 100 times better.

One-of-a-kind VR hunting game. Weapon handling and items work nicely and models and environments look absolutely great! Everything works, but still somehow the game keeps on improving and getting more and more immersive. If you like hunting games and are a VR player, you might love this one too.

Ich hätte gerne mal mehr gesehen als die GUI mit den Optionen. Nur leider konnte ich mit der Valve Index nicht eine Jagd starten. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1549850/Virtual_Hunter/

err bit of decent

Я играл во все охотничьи игры актуальные на сегодняшний день. После Virtual Hunter они все остались лежать на полке.

Le jeu est quand même une douche assez froide avec pas mal de frustration en prime , même si je ne m'attendais pas à grand chose au départ : - Le tutorial obligatoire pour acquérir sa license de chasse est un calvaire , des astuces d'avancement dans ce tutoriel ne "pop" que si tu range ton arme , mais personne ne te dis de ranger l'arme , au final j'ai tirer toutes mes balles et une fois tout vide, j'étais simplement bloquer dans le shooting range, plus possible de tirer, de bouger, de sortir = devoir quitter le jeu et relancer . - La jumelle a un comportement très bizarre , une fois portée à l'oeil , elle ne bouge pratiquement plus , et une fois trop désaxé de l'oeil tu sors de la vue jumelle . - toujours dans le tutoriel , pendant la traque après le chargement à la 1ère cabine , plus aucun son , encore une fois devoir sortir du jeu et relancer . - Graphiquement parlant le jeu n'est pas très beau , ou même moyen , habituellement je ne suis extrêmement regardant sur les graphismes, mais pour un jeu d'exploration où tu vas marcher longtemps à la recherche d'indices , cet élément devient important tout de même . Par contre le jeu a une assez bonne distance de vue, même si les textures sont assez dégradée au loin, tu peux voir des animaux a de bonne distance à l'oeil nu . - L'ambiance sonore et l'ambiance en général est assez basique , difficile de vraiment apprécier la balade - Le tir n'est pas mauvais, la stabilisation du fusil est bonne ( notons que j'ai utilisé que le fusil de base ) , même si parfois capricieuse si vous sortez de l'axe de l'oeil , la vue lunette peux virer au noir ou scintiller . - La faune est vraiment pas mal , se déplace en groupe , cours si repérer/senti/entendu , certes ce n'est pas mirobolant en réalisme mais assez crédible pour donner du plaisir de tomber sur les animaux . - La traque est assez sympa , vous pouvez choisir de mettre en surbrillance les indices ou non , mais lors de ma première prise j'étais encore une fois bloqué, ne pouvant plus me déplacer, j'ai du me téléporter à la cabine la plus proche pour reprendre mes mouvements . Bref oui je me suis fais rembourser le jeu , l'idée d'un jeu de chasse Vr est bonne, il y a quelques éléments sympa , mais malheureusement la finition n'est pas vraiment au rendez-vous , graphiquement tout en high ne propose pas un très bon rendu , et pas mal d'élément de gameplay en demi-teinte .... cela rend trop difficile le fait d'apprécier flâner dans la nature à la recherche d'indice
