Okay, so here’s the lowdown, like, right off the bat. Imagine this: a new VR shooter called Forefront, and it’s kind of like Battlefield but in VR. Sounds wild, right? I mean, I can’t even picture how big these battles are gonna be. They’re talking 16 vs. 16 chaos, with vehicles roaming around like tanks, helicopters, the whole shebang, on Quest and Steam. And get this, they’re already letting people jump in for a sneak peek.
Random thought here — have you ever seen a surprise movie trailer drop? It’s like one moment you’re blissfully unaware, and the next, BAM! New content. That’s sort of what happened, the studio just opened this alpha test zone. They’re calling it a stress test, which is like a fancy way of saying, “Let’s see if our game breaks with a ton of people playing.” And trust me, games do break in weird ways.
Triangle Factory’s the brains behind this. They did Breachers — I know, not everyone knows it, but it’s a solid VR thing. So, you’d expect the guns and gadgets in Forefront to be kind of tight. Not that I know anything about guns, except from video games and movies, but you catch my drift.
Most VR shooters I’ve seen are more like small squad parties, maybe 4 vs. 4 or 8 vs. 8 if they’re feeling ambitious. But these folks are like, forget limits, let’s blow the ceiling off with massive team battles. I am super curious about how they’d even manage this without everyone’s headsets catching fire.
Oh, quick tip! If you’re itching to join the fun, they’ve set up a 24-hour alpha window, right? And another one between August 15-17. I’m not even sure what the date is today, so maybe I missed it—or wait, no, maybe it’s coming up. Anyway, if you’re interested, they say to hit up their Discord for details. Discord’s like this hangout, chat kind of place, very gamer-centric, if that’s even a word.
There’s a bit about launching on Quest 2, 3, 3S, etc.—but, hey, it’s all in the tech specs and fine print. Yeah, the tech evolves so fast it makes my head spin. But that’s what keeps things exciting, right?
