Interesting they advertise Rift S and Quest at the end.

      Same here - unless it can regain life in other forms 😎 

       

      That said - if the trailer experience still represents the game, then this is a game made for oled hmds. The TAA blur in the trailer was beyond massive, but image quality is perfect and totally sharp with the CV1. At least 50% of the game's time in development was done when oled hmds ruled the Oculus world.

      My old review of the Lone Echo 2 trailer experience - man, was that really 3 years ago 🤔 😮

       

       

      Well, maybe not a bad idea waiting 3 years - now I believe my rig is ready for Olivia!

      Seems odd that there's no advertisement for the game still. Can't even find it on Oculus experience page by searching Lone Echo. I just Dug up this page from search engines www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/1711938725528735/?locale=en_US

       

      But can only wishlist it. Some red flags. Seems like a very quiet release considering the impact the first one had.

       

      Not only that but if you go to Ready at Dawn's site, there's no mention of Lone Echo 2...  Seems like it's being swept under the rug.

        Agreed, this may not exactly be a Quest promoting game, although Quest owners can just use Link.

         

        Btw, 21GB and GTX 1080 for recommended do seem much like the old game - but that one is still one of the most demanding VR games when you start to increase res 🙂

         

        Tried to freshen up some screenshots:

         

         

        Screenshots also look somewhat dull - if you'd really want to sell the game, you'd want close-ups of Olivia and some great textures...

        Just read that 10 - 10:30 AM PT should be the launch time. Thus in 30 - 60 minutes.

         

        Also I stand corrected - a GTX 980 was recommended for Lone Echo, and a GTX 1080 as recommend gpu for Lone Echo 2 indicates much higher system requirements. Asgard's Wrath and Stormland also had GTX 1080 as recommended gpu - Medal of Honor had a RTX 2080 (and Alyx a GTX 1060).

          Windows Central - 100% (5/5):

          "Lone Echo II is 2021's Half-Life: Alyx in just about every way. It's a singleplayer experience that's simply unmatched in its scope, from the story to the environments, the puzzles, and the way you control your character. It's a game that wouldn't make sense without a VR headset and, because of that, it sits alongside the list of must-play titles."

                  Anonymous and others. There's now a bundle including Lone Echo for free when you buy Lone Echo 2.

                  So if some have problems running Lone Echo, at least the game is free:

                  EDIT: I didn't buy the bundle as I already have Lone Echo - but it seems you automatically activate the bundle when you buy Lone Echo 2 - in the Store it says I now have the bundle.

                  Think I will stay away from this one - Lone Echo would never run on my rig constant crashing to desktop and no support.

                  Only game out of my many that has ever done that to me.

                    Did you ever try with the 3090 setup? I never had issues with Lone Echo on any of my 4 systems.
