WilliamHOST
How many do we have?
DJHOST
T-Money says, can you please do a video on Gorilla Tag? I don't know.
DJHOST
We're probably going to call it quits here.
DJHOST
Big Bird says, I love that starting song.
TrevorHOST
It is expensive, right? So it becomes this difficult proposition.
TrevorHOST
It's just like, okay, before it was a reasonable price point and there was some interesting content, and now it's like, well, these are... really expensive but i don't know that the medium has been pushed forward right on its own and you're seeing vr studios closed down and most of it's kind of ai slop made for kids like uh gorilla tag if dads have the unfortunate knowing what the hell that is yes so but again the place where it becomes interesting is something especially with like the quest 3 and i only mentioned this to you before we started but the community is really picking this up and this is for any gaming dad that has a headset or has been kind of thinking about it i suggest you look into the vr mod space what i have on screen here right now is titanfall 2 which the community has modded The community has modded Titanfall 2 to work as a full VR game.
TrevorHOST
And I'm not talking it's a flat screen in front of you.
TrevorHOST
I am not talking you have a controller but everything's 3D.
Mike JohnsonHOST
But you also needed to start thinking about bringing in the next generation with games along this vein.
Mike JohnsonHOST
Um, G- the Gorilla Tags and things like that in the world.
Mike JohnsonHOST
There is room for both and there is room for both of those to thrive, but you couldn't just have it just be this one thing.
Mike JohnsonHOST
Like I know a lot of people say, "VR needs more of this thing and then it'll be mainstream." VR needs everything.
StratusHOST
but free to play is hopefully hopefully on its way out yeah and we're slowing down unless all of a sudden these are all free to play experiences well it's
D. ScrufflesHOST
also like who's gonna buy a 1300 headset you're not buying that for your kid to go play gorilla tag
StratusHOST
I really do.
StratusHOST
So one of the common themes you're going to hear constantly with things being made with the new meta VR glasses in mind is mixed reality.
11 MINS LATER
D. ScrufflesHOST
So I did speak a little too soon.
D. ScrufflesHOST
There was a free-to-play game shown at MetaConnect that's going to be coming with the headsets, but it's a card game, tabletop strategy game.
D. ScrufflesHOST
That's not as little kid-orientated as like a Gorilla Tag, you know, up and down.
D. ScrufflesHOST
Free-to-play for tabletop games, I kind of understand, but it's Dice Throne Digital.
Brian PaulHOST
[laughs] Ah.
Brian PaulHOST
You couldn't, you couldn't just be happy having I Am Cat new folder, could you? You wanted, you wanted Gorilla Tag on top of it.
Brian PaulHOST
Nope.
Brian PaulHOST
Sorry.
Michael VogelHOST
I am.
Michael VogelHOST
Things over at Gorilla Tag are very, very busy.
Michael VogelHOST
Got a lot of projects brewing over there.
Michael VogelHOST
Got a couple other projects.
Patrick KlepekHOST
There just weren't that many people beyond...
Patrick KlepekHOST
There were lots of Quest sets being sold, but a huge majority of them were, like, kids playing, uh, uh, Gorilla Tag and then, like, adults playing VR Chat.
Patrick KlepekHOST
Uh, and that was, that was not enough to support the market as it was being pitched, and it never made that pivot to, to the mainstream in a way that, um, was being suggested.
Patrick KlepekHOST
So I think this is unfortunately Polyarc being caught up in sort of the tail end of the VR sort of kind of movement, uh, in, in the past, like, 10 years.
Brodie RobertsonHOST
I think the games that really work as VR games are games that take advantage of the fact that you're in VR.
Brodie RobertsonHOST
Things like Beat Saber, obviously weird little titles like, is it Gorilla Tag? Yeah games like guerrilla tag other titles like this which are not just oh it's an RPG in VR oh it's an FPS in VR oh VR Just like, I'm good.
Brodie RobertsonHOST
I'm good.
Brodie RobertsonHOST
The coolest VR games that I've played have been something that would not be possible in a regular setting, right? I have played plenty of VR games where it's like, oh, this is a VR horror game or a VR puzzle game, and they certainly need ideas, and they've got some parts in there which are cool.
Jeff GerstmannHOST
But, like, I don't, I'm done, I'm completely done with Beat Saber.
Jeff GerstmannHOST
I don't really want to play Gorilla Tag.
Jeff GerstmannHOST
I do like VR chat as a concept, but I don't know that I have a bunch of friends that use it on a regular basis.
Jeff GerstmannHOST
Rec Room shut down.
Jeff GerstmannHOST
It, it, it seems like the ship has sailed.
Jeff GerstmannHOST
It doesn't seem, you know, like there's still an enthusiast market out there, and there are still developers working for that enthusiast market.
Jeff GerstmannHOST
And then you have the outliers like a Gorilla Tag, which has a, a much younger appeal.
Jeff GerstmannHOST
Um, a- and so, like, kids love Gorilla Tag, I guess, still.
Andrew EicheGUEST
The opposite side of it is what you see now in the mobile side where it's like, hey, we give you everything you could do to make an app.
Andrew EicheGUEST
We give you the concept of a window, the concept of a list, the concept of a button, a slider, a dial, the base widgets, right? I was pushing really hard to be like, "Somebody needs to, like, actually start releasing libraries because every single developer is redoing what Grab is." And arguably, you could look at Gorilla Tag and the success of the Gorillaverse in two respects that way.
Andrew EicheGUEST
One respect is it's a highly popular locomotion system that requires a lot of skill and nuance and really speaks to young people whose inner ears aren't filled with crystals and all sorts of other stuff that makes you sick.
Andrew EicheGUEST
But the other sense is the guy open sourced it.
