آیا Bulletstorm VR واقعاً آنقدر بد است که همه می گویند؟

It’s never a good sign when you’re promised review code for a game that then never appears. Especially when your subsequent emails chasing it up are ignored, even though you can see multiple content creators on YouTube publishing first impressions pieces about the game before launch.

That’s exactly what happened in the case of Bulletstorm VR though. I was down to review the game for the site but without any access to review code, I only got to play the game on launch day after buying it myself. And, by this point, I had already seen some pretty damning previews and reviews that slated everything from the game’s VR implementation and AI through to the graphics and overall performance.

اما آیا واقعاً آنقدر بد بود که همه می گفتند؟ با توجه به این که من کاملا محبوب Bulletstorm on the Xbox 360, I went into this week’s VR Corner hoping to give it the benefit of the doubt and you can watch me play through the first hour of the game in the video below.

So was it really that terrible? In all honesty, yes. It’s an incredibly sloppy, clumsily produced VR port that just about does everything it needs to do in order to be a VR version of Bulletstorm but, as you will see in my video, none of these things are done well at all.

There are faults to be found everywhere you look and in just that first hour I saw graphical glitches galore, visuals that include some incomprehensibly ugly cutscenes that make me think that noone bothered double-checking the game before it was released, and even a good old, post-cutscene under-the-map spawn ‘n’ die.

It really is quite shocking how bad the VR version of Bulletstorm is, and the PSVR2 launch day build that I played on doesn’t even take advantage of the extra haptic bells and eye-tracking whistles that Sony’s headset offers.

Everything feels so basic in its implementation that honestly, I feel like a Flat2VR mod of the original game could have done a better job here. But even then, I still feel bad for, as Marcus Grayson would say, “kicking this game’s dick off”.

این واقعیت که Incuvo و People Can Fly در وهله اول تلاش کردند تا Bulletstorm را به VR منتقل کنند، نوعی معجزه است. به قدری تعداد کمی از توسعه دهندگان به انجام این کار فکر می کنند که به نظر من حتی تلاش برای انجام آن نیز باید مورد تحسین قرار گیرد. من آینده ای از بازی های هیبریدی تخت و VR می خواهم و من می خواهم شرکت های بیشتری برای انتقال IP های قدیمی خود به VR برای مخاطبان مدرن. من برای Bulletstorm VR بسیار هیجان‌زده بودم و دیدن آن در این حالت برایم دردناک بود زیرا پس از پاسخ منفی فوق‌العاده‌ای که این بازی دریافت می‌کند، نگران این هستم که این دو شرکت دیگر هرگز زحمت انجام چنین کاری را ندهند.

با وجود این مشکلات بی‌شمار، اینکه بتوانم بازی‌ای را که دوستش دارم از نگاه شخصیت اصلی‌اش ببینم، به گونه‌ای که انگار در آنجا هستم، هنوز هم از انجام دادن آن لذت می‌برم. و این علیرغم تمام مسائلی است که گریبان بازی من را گرفته است. من با آنقدر جک مواجه شدم، اما هنوز هم، به دلیل جادویی که غوطه وری واقعیت مجازی به ارمغان می آورد، متوجه شدم که بیشتر از یک بازی مسطح نسبت به آن می بخشم.

What I wouldn’t give to be able to revisit this game a few months down the line after a potential update or two has ironed out all of the problems. But will Bulletstorm VR even get that? I don’t know. But what I do know is that Bulletstorm deserves better and, even though I really do appreciate the fact that this was done in the first place, we as VR fans deserve better than this too.
