There are even longer videos of this on the internet. I just didn't wanna post something really long. If someone links the original whole thing though, it's worth the watch.
Hi everyone.
I’m just about to start work on a VR single player game in the vein of The Punisher/ Max Payne, that kind of violent noir shooter.
The entire time I was pre planning I struggled with transitions, these games tend to be story heavy and I can’t think of how to move from level to level.
To me cutscenes in VR don’t work. I think it’s jarring to go from active to passive participation, it takes you out the game, but at the same time I think loading screens are boring ( one of my big criticisms of HL Alyx was that the loading screens took you out of the game.
I was thinking of using comic book style panels to help transition and push the story forward, does anyone have any other ideas?
***Edit***
Thanks everyone , I’ve got some good idea on how to go forward, really liked the Picture in Picture idea. You’ve all given me some good ideas on how to hide those loading screens. Now it’s just a matter of 3 years of soul crushing game development and the game will be out 😂
