Let‘s Talk Oculus: A VR Podcast

This week in VR, Dan is out so Samson sits down with CEO of 3LB Games, Robin Moulder to discuss their newest DLC, Cancer Blaster in partnership with the Children's Cancer Foundation.

LTO Discord:

This week in VR we go through our most anticipated VR titles! We both pick 5 each to go through with only one pick being the same! Elsewhere, Samson plays a lot, including a UEVR port of HiFi rush and some roomscale titles.

This week in VR, we’ve got a tonne of new game announcements and gameplay reveals. To start, Gamescom opened with a gameplay reveal of Batman Arkham Shadow VR for Quest 3 and it looks so good! Then we dive into each game announced in the VR games showcase which had a few surprises. Dan dives into The Last Clockwinder, Samson tries Ayahuasca… kinda and plays some Among Us Containment.
