Support NeoGAF

[Cardon]

Watching the trailer again one of the thing that stands out the most for me is the acting. The male character sounds familiar to me but I can't quite put my finger on it. Any chance that the names of the actors in the game can be revealed?

We haven't set a minimum target spec at the moment - obliviously we'd like to support Oculus Rift on minimum spces, but we've still a lot of optimisation work ahead of us

Yikes, you guys see the 970 as the minimum spec for consumer vr hmd first gen? I thought Oculus designated that as recommended for a smooth experience. I know ymmv with certain
games especially ones that look as sharp as yours.

Not like I'm surprised or anything, my 970 has trouble running a handful of things @75 fps on the dk2 as it is. Hopefully you guys will have time to implement a variety of quality settings so it isn't a completely premium experience

Interesting trailer.

 

[Monkeythumbz]

will it have a retail release or be digital-only?

We're focusing on a digital-download release for the time being.

Yes, absolutely - we'll be sharing more details about our voice talent a little further down the line. For E3, we really want the spotlight to be on The Assembly's use of VR, the dual character perspective and the moral dilemmas facing the player.

Yes, that's absolutely the plan - 100%! We want the game to be playable on as many VR-capable PCs as possible.

Damn. That looks great. Can not wait till the first consumer VR Headsets arrive.

Did you get a Vive Devkit btw? Wondering how it would look with that.

 

[PulseONE]

Hmmm, this seems relevant to my interests, I shall keep my eye on it

Polygon have just published a Q&A with the team about the game, as well as a few fresh screenshots here: The Assembly: Making moral choices in VR

I usually avoid Polygon, but today I'm making an exception

We've received few more hands-on previews, shared below in case you'd like to have a read:

• Digital Spy: The Assembly to be a launch title for Vive, Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus
• God is a Geek: My First VR Experience: Playing The Assembly Blew my Mind
• ShortList Magazine: Is VR gaming all it's cracked up to be?

Naturally, we're especially happy with our write-up on God is a Geek!

MAN! This game looks great. But is the AA really that good? Because those kinda look like bullshots. No disrespect obviously.

Those screenshots were captured from a PC screen, rather than from within the VR headset itself. Even so, the game is remarkably crisp and clear - we have to use super-high detailed textures as you're able to peer in and look at objects more closely in VR than in flat-screen games.

The in-game footage you see from the trailer is highly representative and gives you a good idea of what the The Assembly looks like when playing it.

I think the female actor is the same one who voices Miranda from Mass Effect. At least her voice sounds very familiar.
