The Video Games You Should Play This Weekend – November 14

  November is sprinting along at a pace that does not make sense in terms of way time moves along. I have looked into who I should email to try and slow things down, but I have had no luck. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel for the sprint of major releases at the end of the year, but now the backlog is a mile high, and we need to start making some end of the year best of decisions.

I'm not the biggest VR proponent, but I am a big fan of seeing how familiar games get ported to the platform. I love Resident Evil 4 VR for Meta Quest and am sad that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas appears to be dead. Hopefully, I am wrong.

In any case, I quickly downloaded it and played a few rounds and was charmed by it. Expectantly, it offers a new perspective on a game I have dumped a lot of hours into. Seeing the game (which is functionally identical to playing it on a 2D screen) laid out before with some limited stereoscopic layering to the pixel characters and monsters is neat. It is not the new way that I will play Vampire Survivors moving forward, but I am glad it exists, and I want to see more unexpected games like this get ported to VR. My dream for a VR port? Metal Gear Solid, with its 32-bit visuals intact.

You can see a little bit of gameplay from the VR version here.
