The Upload Holiday VR Showcase Goes Live 9AM PT November 27

It’s time to get hype; The Upload Holiday VR Showcase is coming your way at 9am PT/12pm ET/5pm BT on November 27 2019.

Yup, we finally have a time to add to the date we announced alongside the VR Download and Culture Show last month. If you’re in the US be sure to be up bright and early or sitting down for your lunch break. If you’re in the UK, get home from work ASAP. Better yet, call in sick. Get your friends to do it too.

HolidayShowcase_MainAd

This will be our second VR Showcase following the hugely successful launch of the E3 VR Showcase back in June. We were overwhelmed with the response to that show and we couldn’t let 2019 go without doing another one.

So what is The Holiday VR Showcase? Think of it as a Nintendo Direct or State of Play broadcast… exclusively for VR. We’ll be going over a bunch of announcements and fresh looks for games still to come in 2019 (yes there’s still a few!) and some titles set for 2020. We’ve lined up a fun list of titles with some great surprises in store!

For this showcase, expect to go in-depth with some of the titles we announced back at E3 and get a closer look at gameplay with the help of developers themselves. Keep an eye on Upload in the coming weeks because we’ll be announcing some of the things we’re showcasing in the run up to the big day!

What are you hoping to see at our Showcase? Let us know in the comments below!

Community Download: Is Asgard’s Wrath The Best VR Game Yet?

Community Download is a weekly discussion-focused articles series published (usually) every Monday in which we pose a single, core question to you all, our readers, in the spirit of fostering discussion and debate. For today, we want to hear your thoughts on Asgard’s Wrath, the highly-anticipated VR RPG released last week.

Last week, after a lot of hype and a long wait, Asgard’s Wrath finally released for the Oculus Rift and Rift S.

In our full review, David made it clear he was a huge fan. Despite some minor flaws, he called it the best VR game he’s played to date.

“When people buy a headset with the idea of visiting strange, beautiful, and rich new worlds full of exciting things they can only do in VR, this is the type of game they’re imagining … After over 25 hours of questing through the realms of Norse mythology, all I can think about is the laundry list of things I’ve still yet to discover. Asgard’s Wrath is, from top to bottom, an extraordinary accomplishment.”

As it released last week, you’ve now had a full weekend to sink your teeth into the game. That being said, given that the main story of the game alone (excluding side quests) is around 25 hours long, you probably haven’t finished the whole thing yet. Or maybe you have – we won’t judge!

However, if you’re just getting started with the game, make sure to check out David’s helpful guide and tips for new players. Nonetheless, we want your opinions from what you’ve played so far.

So, time to throw the verdict over to you. Is Asgard’s Wrath the best VR game yet? Is it a step forward for VR games, or is the whole thing a bit overblown? Maybe you feel the game needs to be out a bit longer before any final judgement?

Let us know your opinion. Sound off in the comments below.
