Superhot VR will be an Oculus Rift exclusive
We guess this will only be the most innovative shooter Oculus Rift owners will play.
Superhot Team previously revealed a VR version of its popular debut game, Superhot, was currently in development earlier this year. Today, the studio has announced the VR version of Superhot will be exclusive to the Oculus Rift.
In Superhot Team’s first dev blog since Superot’s release, the studio confirms the game wil be a Rift exclusive. As a result, the game has been redesigned and is being built from the ground up. ““We’re now working super close with the guys at Oculus to release SUPERHOT VR later this year,” the update reads. “The level of game immersion that you get from playing SUPERHOT in VR is simply crazy. Recently, we played around with holophonics type of sounds in SUPERHOT. Thanks to that you will be able to for example ‘locate’ a passing bullet just by the noise it creates.”
Oculus is the team’s focus “for now,” according to Superhot Team’s Szymon Krukowski. Krukowski also reveals some features of the VR version of Superhot, which includes the game moving when the player moves their head or hands in real time. This forces the player to really stand still if they want to survive the onslaught of enemies.

Ugh.
What's the install base of Vives vs Oculus Rifts? it's got to be like 50/50, right? So what does the business deal look like that makes an exclusive the profitable move? Is it just a huge pile of advance money to develop it?-

I don't think that's the same thing. Android and iOS are very different platforms under the hood. Where VR is much more similar regardless of your VR headset, especially if you don't use the motion controllers.

it's a tiny pile of money since the install bases are so low. It's not hard to pay someone to skip a platform with 50-100k users.

the lab can be played by anyone, including DK2, Vive Pre, maybe even without VR. The best indicator is the game that's bundled with the Vive, and those are less the 50k.

People are reporting that you can order now and have it shipped in a week on reddit.

Don't know, but there are over 140k DK2s, and a number of Rift CV1s out in the wilds so just a fraction of that can throw your stats out of wack.

Haha, that hand tracking is pretty janky... No way that's a good experience.

So you're saying over $100 million in GMV for the Vive so far? That's a lot

Lol, this has to die soon. Imagine ATI exclusive games, or fucking logitech mouse exclusives.

"This game is exclusive to Crucial RAM"

Right now it makes some sense because Touch isn't out and people wanting games on Vive could be expecting full room mobility and motion controller support and all that.
It's probably a lot easier for a small team like these guys to adapt a game that already exists to and support only the "dumb" headset as it were right now, and build on that later if there is demand.
I agree hardware exclusives are dumb, but I can totally get why they're doing it this way with Superhot, beyond direct help from Oculus and exclusivity deals.

As a Rift owner I agree they need to knock it off.
But also, people want to act like Oculus killed their dog. It is really simple, you can just avoid buying stuff from Oculus if you really have a problem. Personally I buy everything from Steam anyway so whatever.
When I get a bigger place I will probably get a Vive, and the Rift will likely become a part of a permanent sim racing setup.-
Maybe didn't kill him, but left him alone for a long time. <sniff>

As a Rift owner, I'm hoping there are some awesome Vive exclusives to talk me into buying one.

As a Rift owner, I couldn't care less. There's nothing wrong with a company ensuring it's own survival in a totally new field. They contributed millions into games when no one else would. should they do that and let other companies walk in and take all the VR market share? What happens next year when companies like Asus, Xiaomi, Lenovo, etc come in with cheap knockoffs? I'm betting they won't even need to work with Valve to produce their own headsets.
Oculus is 100% all in on VR. If Oculus fails, VR is set back years as it will difficult to get companies to put money into VR again. If Vive fails, HTC will go back to selling phones. -

I'm glad it is, though there are a bunch of VR games it doesn't work with like EVE Valkyrie, ADR1FT and a few others https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive/wiki/Compatibility-list
So silly that this is even an issue. :(

You are saying that like he's in charge.

they apparently shut him down since he stopped talking on reddit a while ago. he probably didn't read the fine print with all the money laying on top of it

More like supernot!

This game looks pretty boring to me. What's the deal?
Reminds me of something a decade or so old were it not for the VR part. If it's running on gamer rigs then why not use modern gfx?-
It is the most innovative shooter I've played in years.
It is not about the graphics. The game is ruthless if you moved at "normal speed". What makes it interesting is the time mechanic. It is well executed, and the story almost gets in the way. I actually enjoy endless mode even more after you beat the game.-
It's not the first to do the time lapse mechanic though is it? Seems like I could do that in Blood Rayne and a few others right?
