![]() ![]() VR horror seems to work best when those layers of illusion are least noticeable, not when they stick out. In a similar situation in real life, I could simply step away or hide from the monsters, not stand in the middle of an empty hallway while they mauled me to death. I found that the inability to move, combined with the funnel-of-enemies approach that guides them all towards you, did do a good job of amplifying the horror initially, but eventually the illusion starts to fade away. Instead, you’re confined to the same spot in each level. But now that we’ve seen other games use more versatile movement systems like Raw Data or Arizona Sunshine, I wished for something similar in the zombie wave shooter that popularized the genre. Standing in one place shooting zombies seemed passable for a new medium. Back when The Brookhaven Experiment’s first demo released, it felt new and fresh. However, I did find myself wishing for the ability to freely move around my environments. You can get a small glimpse of some of the environments in the screenshots below. These indoor spaces are incredibly effective at increasing the tension when compared to the outdoor cityscape seen in the demo, as the confined nature heightens your sense of claustrophobia and restriction. A number of the environments in the full game are indoors now, such as a lab basement with monsters coming around chain link fences you can shoot through if you spot them early. It’s a great starting point for new players and veterans of the demo alike.Įverything starts with an NPC speaking in your ear, directing your attention and feeding you information, as you work your way through a series of levels. While it may be short by traditional game standards, the Campaign mode offers a more structured format for progression. I can truly tell how much work went into finalizing this product.įor starters, it’s now more than just a single wave-based survival mode, although Survival is still half of the experience with its own game mode in the main menu. Unlike most VR games, wherein the concept for what would make up a traditional demo actually constitutes the entirety of the experience (since the vast majority feel more like glorified tech demos than actual games,) The Brookhaven Experiment actually resembles a complete and more robust full game now. While the original demo for the game exploded onto the scene months ago, garnering dozens of viral video reactions and positive press from the gaming media, the full and proper core game itself has been in development behind the scenes ever since. All drivers up-to-date.That’s a normal, frenetic, afternoon in The Brookhaven Experiment, one of the scariest, most intense, and truly exhilarating VR games to date. My specs: Intel i7 3770 3.40GHz, Gigabyte B75M-D3H Motherboard, 16GB RAM, AMD RAdeon R9 290, Sound Blaster Z, Windows 10 Pro 64bit. ![]() Once again, did not work.Ĭannot launch the game, don't know what to do. Tried also fix the issue by downloading and reinstalling Unreal 4 engine. (There is something else going on, cause it does not explain why I cannot interact with the main menu options). Aware I am that many games have issues with 4k hi resolution monitors/TVs, I tried to fix the issue checking the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" option in compatibility mode and start the game as an administrator, but with no use. The only way to return to the desktop is using CRTL+ALT+DEL and killing the process in the task manager. Mouse does not respond and I'm unable to interact with the main menu. At the top, I can see only part of the game options (once again, the half bottom part): the only word showed is "survival", but I'm unable to load. When it shows the menu screen options (with the huge monster on patrol), at the bottom there is a large gray bar, from side to side of my screen. The intro shows only a part of the the Phosphor Games and the Unreal 4 logos at the top of the screen (only the bottom half). When I start the game, the menu screen is not displayed properly: it seems like the menu is oversized, with part of it off-screen, due to (I think) a scaling issue, for I'm using a 4k UHD monitor/TV. I'll try to describe the issue the best I can, but my english is not very good (sorry for that): Unfortunately, there's no log file in the specified folder. ![]()
