Batman: Arkham Shadow Devs Talk Rescue Vision, Remote Work & New Game+
- Ryan Payton, founder and studio head of Camouflaj said they changed up the process for building Batman: Arkham Shadow, playable from start to finish in a pre-alpha state about 3 years into the 4-year development cycle.
- Batman: Arkham Shadow is a brilliant return for the Dark Knight, and it expertly adapts the series for VR on Quest 3 and Quest 3S.
- The storytelling element nods to the Arkham series' Detective Vision and even The Dark Knight’s Sonar lenses while also reflecting the real-world uses of VR headset technology.
- The asset that caught the attention of the reviewer is a newspaper you can pick up in the game featuring the story with WayneTech head Lucius Fox shooting down the idea of a militarized version of Batman’s Detective Vision.
- The newspaper page layout comes from illustrator and 2D artist Jacob Briggs, while the diagram in the corner of the page was created by concept artist Bryan Flynn.
- The newspapers scattered throughout the game allowed the team to move other characters’ stories forward.
- Production took place across four different time zones. Ryan Payton said he bent his own schedule in Japan to bridge this divide.
- The team of 75 people is working through a lengthy list of additions and fixes, including a character viewer, new challenge maps for both Combat and Predator modes, and general quality of life improvements.
- After releasing Arkham’s VR return last month to wide acclaim, Camouflaj feels like they are not yet finished.

Snap Spectacles 5 hands-on: a nice devkit towards a brighter future
- Snap Spectacles 5 is the latest iteration of Snap Spectacles, featuring waveguides and LCoS miniature projectors. Spectacles started off as a device for taking photos and small videos for Snapchat and have evolved to become an AR device that creators can use to build AR lenses for Snapchat.
- Spectacles 5 are currently being marketed as a dev kit for creators to rent for $99 per month, with the minimum commitment of 12 months. Specs include a 45min battery life, built-in stereo speakers, a six-microphone array for audio input, 2x full-color high-rez cameras, and 6-axis IMUs for inertial sensing.
- The device is focused on Spectacles app and Snapchat ecosystem, though some people may find other ways to monetize it indirectly, such as receiving funds from Snap or using it to build their personal brand.
- Visuals are affected by the same problems that all other AR glasses are having, including ‘rainbows’ due to waveguides and persistence. As for the quality of visuals, it is nice, but there are many visual artifacts due to the waveguides
- The hands-on testing notes that the device is bulky and heavy, and even though Snap has done much as it could, it is not possible to make the lightweight AR glasses of our dreams yet.
- Content is scant at present, but Snap hopes to build a vibrant platform if the commercial version of Spectacles is released in the future as a general-purpose device and not just a Snapchat add-on.
- The reviewer suggests that Snap should detach Spectacles from Snapchat, provide more choices for developers, and make sure that developers have a clear monetization path to create a rich ecosystem.
- Overall, Snap Spectacles 5 is a nice gadget that is projected to be a devkit towards a brighter future, being one step towards a consumer edition of Spectacles that may come in a few years, fixing all its current problems.

We’ve learned the hard way that ganging up on Deadlock doesn’t make it more digestible
- Deadlock, Valve’s MOBA shooter, is challenging to grasp even for experienced players.
- It's already a vast tangle of interplaying abilities, items, strats, and often unspoken rules, of the kind that even experienced gankists will take hundreds of hours to learn.
- To test whether Deadlock is easier to comprehend as a team sport, four players joined forces.
- The strict third-person view makes it difficult to figure out how matches are progressing.
- The UI is clumsy, elements like the health bar are placed in wrong places
- Players feel a lack of consistent rules and logic in the game.
- Players need hundreds of hours of practice to get a hold of where a match is going and what their role in it should be.
- The game being an experiment still needs to figure out the better onboarding process.
- Deadlock's new direction for the MOBA genre is genuinely exciting.
- It is a long-term investment and may take time for beginners to get a hold of the game's intricacies.

Human Fall Flat VR Review - Moreish Marionette Mayhem
- Human Fall Flat VR challenges you to tackle hilarious physics puzzles with your friends on Quest and Steam.
- In Human Fall Flat VR, you control a jelly-bodied avatar through challenging platforming puzzles with physical interactions – grabbing and pulling levers, mantling up the cliffside, and so on.
- Human Fall Flat VR's levels are interactive playgrounds full of disruptive, bric-a-brac like hidden doors, smashable glass panes, and melting ice cubes, doodads that stand in the way of your success.
- Human Fall Flat VR's control scheme ensures a more physical experience, as you must waggle your arms up and down and pull the triggers to grab objects like a digital puppeteer.
- Even so, the contextually appropriate puzzles offered enough brain-teasing tension to rub up against, so my mind was occupied despite a lack of narrative.
- Human Fall Flat VR offers three scaled predesigned comfort settings, as well as a menu of individual movement options to tweak to your preference.
- You can also play Human Fall Flat VR with up to four players in online co-op, leading to absurd solutions, interpretive dance breaks, and digital playgrounds for friends to hang out.
- Character customization lets you transform your plain white blob from drab to fab with a range of accessories like hats and sunglasses, curating your look, and helping differentiate your character from your friends.
- Human Fall Flat VR succeeds in harnessing the wacky physics platforming essence of the original game, amplifying its chaotic drama with an immersive but approachable control scheme that feels natural to engage within VR.
- Bounding around these thematic worlds, especially with a few buddies in tow, is a moreish expedition well worth your time, and Human Fall Flat VR is a great addition to the VR gaming space.
