  • I’ve seen a few comments that made the same point and I‘m in the same camp, but there could also be selection bias going on, because everyone who currently uses vr headsets is by definition into experiences and doesn’t really care about 2d apps.

    I can also image that people come for 2d Android apps and then stay for immersive stuff.

  • I don’t think they’re "pretending" that it’s one of the most popular games. But they’re for sure pushing it into everyone’s faces whenever and wherever they can.

  • Look at the "most popular" section in the store. Horizon Worlds has been consistently within the top 10, it’s currently number 6, even before Roblox and Rec Room.

    Don’t ask me why.

    Blade And Sorcery: Nomad Finally Feels Complete With 1.0 Update

  • The default icon now supports iOS dark & tinted app icons :)

  • PC version seems to be well received. You can return the game up until 2 weeks and <2h play time, so it might be a good idea to grab it shortly before full release and then return it if you don’t like the update.

  • I guess it mostly means elbows. I’ve also heard that upper body tracking could be used for something like walking direction, but afaik not a single game is actually using that (there’s 3 or 4 games that use upper body tracking at all).

  • Super excited for the full release. It’ll be flooded by 5 year olds, but as I understand it they plan on having custom stations and a level editor. I wouldn’t be shocked if this ends up being more popular than gorilla tag, with a more active competitive scene than Echo VR. But we‘ll have to wait and see.

  • I’m assuming you’re talking about Orion? Because that’s still years away, if they ever end up shipping at all. Meta has the tendency to promise a lot.

  • I’m sure there’s feedback to be gained by actually releasing something, but I bet they’d like more people to actually use it. But yeah, it doesn’t look like there’s tons of apps being developed for it. They do keep reiterating how many companies are using it. Curious what their next version will look like.

  • It does help by building out the ecosystem though and getting feedback for future versions. And it exists, which is more than can be said about Orion.

    Quest’s POV Video Casting Feature May Get WhatsApp Support Soon

  • Yes, it’s super confusing. They’ve actually renamed a lot of stuff to "Horizon".

    The app is called "Meta Horizon", the operating system is called "Meta Horizon OS", there’s "Horizon Workrooms", the "Horizon Feed", and the previously mentioned "Horizon Home", non of these have anything to do with "Horizon Worlds" which is the thing everyone thinks of when they heard that word.

  • Not horizon worlds, horizon home. That’s the "Home Screen" of the quest where people appear if you join them on a call.

  • You can play it in vr or flat as I understand it

  • I’ve opened a Pull Request for this. They’re not perfect, but probably better than not having anything at all.

  • Haha with that cover it could be "Zuckerberg is funding a puppy orphanage" and people would still downvote it

  • This has been the hope for many Echo VR players after Meta shut it down a year ago. I can’t wait for them to open it up to the public.

  • I‘m glad you like it, I wasn’t sure what people were going to think but the old one looked very dated :)

  • I‘m probably wrong, I thought it was in the video, but it says "upgrade from the original", so you’re probably right. Makes this an even better deal since the dlcs are even more expensive than the upgrade then

  • You can also play different instruments together with others. I like that idea.
