@@originaltrilogy1 That won't work - even if you get the positional tracking to work, the headset still needs to see the IR lights from the controllers - if the ambient light is too bright and in the wrong spectrum (i.e. sunlight), your controllers woll jump around a lot or not be spotted at all.
@@Cheesepuff8 It is not recommended to play outside because it can be too bright for the tracking. And I imagine that your character cant move through walls so if you continue to walk towards the wall you will just push it with you?
@@Cheesepuff8 Yes you definitely can. I've done this before many times with a few friends. To be safe you need it to be either very overcast, or lit with artificial lights at night. We usually just parked a car nearby and used the headlights.
any zombie or wave style shooter with progressing levels using portal/tea for god type doors to move between environments would be an unreal experience
Kind of smart for space usage as well. The level design could incorporate the portal orientation to manipulate the player into facing a desired direction at the start of each stage, giving the feel of an endless environment.
All these quest videos get me hype currently working a part time job as a chef to get one on the 1st Friday of next month I get paid can’t wait I loved the original quest
To everyone asking- no it doesn't need to be indoors. You can play on any large flat space if it is either very overcast, or at night with artificial lighting. Parking lots, lawns, fields etc. work very well. Just be safe. If the area has the potential for dynamic obstructions make sure you have someone without a headset on to keep an eye out.
Awesome video mate! Hopefully this is just the beginning of more free-roam VR action for consumers. Imagine doing this in the world of Bioshock, Resident Evil or Little Nightmares with a story attached to it that would be so cool. Time will tell! We can only salute i-illusions for being the real heroes here.
@@marklola12 Kind of a silly argument tbh. It's like people asking for a non-VR version of Half-Life Alyx. Sure. You could do it. But why? That's not what it was designed for. Same deal for this. Some people don't have a 10m by 10m play space... Some people don't have a VR headset... No developer wants to water down their game to accommodate for what the end-user lacks. They expect you to either find some solution, like going to a park, gym, or tennis court, or if you can't even do that, then this experience isn't for you. Move on and play something else. Lots and lots and lots of people do not live in 200sqft condos in downtown vancouver. Lots of people have the means and resources to find a flat 10m by 10m play area.
@@marklola12 that's true, but soon that won't matter as much as we get some Augmented Reality games using passthrough. No guardian needed. Just play a home defense game with a buddy where the oculus recognizes your furniture, windows and doors and has zombies or aliens crawl in from under the bed or in a window for you to shoot.
@@cariboudjan3576 Eh, no developers always have to develop for what people actually have to maximize the market potential. Like, they might develop a game on super computers but they gotta tone down and optimize the graphics to fit cross-platform. Anyway, soon the oculus should be seeing some AR games using passthrough and no guardian at all. So imagine turining your whole house into an arena and all the furniture, windows and doors automatically get used in the game to have zombies bust or crawl through. Stuff like that should happen with the new passthrough AR API facebook released.
This is the kind of potential I was waiting for from the Quest. I definitely want to try this myself. Now if only I knew where to find an indoor tennis court or the like to rent out and more importantly even a single friend with a Quest...
Be realistic. The game went out to basically exclude you. Glad you're thinking so idealistically but you just literally said "find an indoor tennis court to RENT out" to play a fucking video game.
Great video Mike! This is the best breakdown of SPT DX out there! I sent this to my neighbours who are contemplating getting a Quest and it got them well stoked!! Update. So we played it. Against bots. It rocks! We took some some beers with us and took turns. It doesn't take much imagination to figure this out. I can't believe all the negative comments regarding the 10 x 10 m play space. There is a green area just a few hundred meters from where we live. Fortunately it is shaded by trees on the westerly side so we could play before the sun went down. There are street lamps that enabled play for a bit longer before it got too dark. We got two decent hours in and it got us planning the next session and my friends planning their own Quest purchase! If you can't find somewhere to play this, don't buy it. There are loads more great games you can try. All the best, Rich in Sweden!
Happy to hear about the speedy recovery! I thought I’d have to sit this game out because I don’t have the space, but Im loving the idea of renting out a racket club court. 😄
As a teacher in a small community I have access to a huge indoor gymnasium at certain times and this looks like the perfect opportunity! Thanks for the info and content!
I saw in another video that the game blacks out when you walk through a wall, and you see some arrows pointing toward the direction you should walk to come back. During that time, your opponents can still shoot you (they can see you, but you can't), so it's quite dissuasive! :)
This is so sick!!! I was starting to get a little bored with the standard SPT; it's an awesome fun game but kind of monotonous after a while. This update is literally a complete game changer! And with a level editor??? Man I can't wait to find a space to try this!!
Usually not a huge fan of your reviews but you had the best by far of all usual influencer with this title, despite your recent operation. Congrats and speedy recovery 🤗
honestly this game would be cool to have. but then again i don’t have a vr headset or also a tennis court. so yeah! glad you have fun! also glad you’re back :)
A lot of elementary schools have large covered areas you can play at on the weekends when school is out. At least where I live. Just a tip for those that don't have a gym membership.
Wow, I had no idea this kinda thing was possible! Now THIS is truly something that can only be done with a standalone headset, a bit more exciting then just "Well, it's like tethered VR, but there's no cable".
Awesome video. It’s nice to finally get hyped about vr again. Finally tried tea for god and i am definitely on the hype train now. Mind blowing what vr has to offer
OK, someone needs to try this outside after dark in a well lit parking lot or our outdoor tennis/basketball court. Imagine a multilevel parking garage event.
Just tried this on the quest3 in a nearby gym and gotta say: I'm impressed .. the graphics are actually pretty good and even just with bots it is quite funny. It is really sad, that there seems to be no Developtment since 2021 and is completely unknown by most people. As there seems to be no matchmaking, it quickly dies out.
@@VirtualRealityOasis how to join then - I cannot add the local account as friend, so cannot join it - one of the reviews of the game said he had to buy two samples of game to make it work
I appreciate the video but you don’t have to make videos if you’re still recovering!! We understand that you are recovering! No need to worry about that
@@jasonsteele2028 The genuine fun in this is moving 1:1 in the actual space. Without that, it's like any other FPS game. The joy is in actually being able to move in that space in a way that feels completely real.
@@originaltrilogy1 I absolutely get that, and ideally I would have a 10m x 10m space to play in very locally... but for those times when I don't it would still be great to play.
I understood the part where you talked about syncing up your position in game with your friend but I assume for that to even work in the first place you need to make sure that you and your friend have set up the exact same guardian space independently on each headset? Any tips for how to do that as smoothly as possible?
I was surprised this had to be setup manually. Maybe two people using the same physical (arena) space isn’t technically supported? Without forcing people to sync you risk real world collisions.
@@cherryfruit5492 but if your guardian zones are not lined up then surely you’d be at risk for one of the players to run out of guardian space after syncing up the position in game? I don’t think the quest itself will let you play the game outside the zone
From their older FAQ A completely empty 10m x 10m (33ft x 33ft) play area, preferably with some extra space on the sides (12m x 12m or 40 x 40ft is ideal). To be compliant with Oculus recommendations, two completely empty 10 x 10m play areas are required. We recommend playing on each half of a tennis court.
@@SamuelMorris1 that’s interesting considering they themselves have marketed the game being played with people clearly sharing the space and being synced up. But maybe for legal reasons they have to recommend that on paper. But if you look at This video or any other video on this game they are synced in the same space
Good evening Mike I'm glad you're feeling better after your appendix surgery. Great video on space-time trainer arena mode I have 3 questions about this mode the first is can you reverse the controls in the settings the second can physically slide and shoot your gun and using shield up by her face and the quest will pick it up and finally can create a map that's bigger than the 1010 m boundary? If you could answer any one of these it would be great. Have a good evening Mike.
The map editor should allow to play inside a house.. there Is an app on sidequest that does that, hoy can scsn the walls AND then play around diferent games
Man, the ten people that can play this are going to have a blast.
play outside and just dont let sun hit lenses
@@Joeyjoejoe372 the sunlight messes with the tracking alot (atleast in my experience)
@@masons.129 I tried today… and tracking issues rendered it unplayable. So disappointed 😔

Now I just need to buy a tennis court
Do you think they get mad if you hire one spot for 1 hour but instead of playing tennis, you start playing VR
Problably not, I am planning to do it by my David Lloyd club.
Could u just do it in a field with a mobile hotspot, tho how does the game stop u walking through walls

Privilege is nice in these situations.
Wow I remember seeing this ages ago
Glad it's coming out
This is the real-world proof that you should play "tennis without a net"
Meta actually gave me the game as a gift for buying a quest 2
This is MASSIVE, good to see you back Mike!!
a l4dead style game like this would be crazy fun, actually having to run to safe rooms and such.
Thanks now motivated to try my hand at that.
We need more of this kind of game, just tried it and it was awesome!
Im a fan of space pirate I always get good workouts from them
What happens when you run into a wall? How does it keep a player locked to the map if you can just walk through objects?
I saw in another video that the game blacks out when you walk through a wall, and you see some arrows pointing toward the direction you should walk to come back.
During that time, your opponents can still shoot you (they can see you, but you can't), so it's quite dissuasive! :)
So sorry to hear about the appendix. You have been ill quite a lot the last few months. I hope you stay well now.
This is so sick!!! I was starting to get a little bored with the standard SPT; it's an awesome fun game but kind of monotonous after a while. This update is literally a complete game changer! And with a level editor??? Man I can't wait to find a space to try this!!
Hi mike I’m so glad your back on CZcams hope you feeling better I enjoy your channel.
What good is this not many people has access to this much space that’s needed
I have large back yard and i can see putting together a nice arena.
obviously this is the goal for the future of shooters, i don't think there was ever any question about that
Happy your feeling better and are back at it
Usually not a huge fan of your reviews but you had the best by far of all usual influencer with this title, despite your recent operation. Congrats and speedy recovery 🤗
Early congrats on 500k, Mike. Stay this creative.
If i could afford it i would buy 2 quest 2 headsets just for this.... base game is amazing this is next level
This is one of the few times where I fully support and will be happily paying a price increase. This is so awesome
Just had my appendix out yesterday. I feel you man.
honestly this game would be cool to have. but then again i don’t have a vr headset or also a tennis court. so yeah! glad you have fun! also glad you’re back :)

Bought the Quest version only because of this. I have owned the SteamVR version for a Long time.
Glad you are back Mike. Trust you body is getting better ever day.
Awesome video. It’s nice to finally get hyped about vr again. Finally tried tea for god and i am definitely on the hype train now. Mind blowing what vr has to offer
I've been waiting all day for this update!
Ik! It took so long!
Already more interesting than the boring same old Shite on the PS5 showcase today.
Glad your doing well appendicitis is scary
yep we going to do this!
VR to ER is about to get so many posts because of this game
So stoked, rebought on oculus market before the price jumped. Having 2 quest 2s is finally worth it.
If you ever want to try this big scale I'm in colchester and have 12 quest2 headsets lol.
yay! now i just have to spend around 5,000 dollars for an entire tennis court!
yes
Is this game only 2 player or at least the versus.
I'm so glad to hear you are getting better
I'm glad you had a great surgery I hope you feel better ❤
Feel better man? Welcome back
I'm glad to see you are feeling better!
I can’t imagine it is more fun than the arcade mode. I may give arena a try but love the inside galaga mode already
Played this in my local mall today. It was awesome! I had the highest score out of all them. My mall had a virtual reality store if you're wondering.
I love this, but not being able to configure motion controls for a small spaces is a huge let down.
OK, someone needs to try this outside after dark in a well lit parking lot or our outdoor tennis/basketball court. Imagine a multilevel parking garage event.
the parking garage idea is a great one - widely available and I reckon the painted lines on the floor might help with tracking
With the custom maps you can set the walls of your house and that's what cool
Thanks Mike.
How do you set up the second Oculus Quest to have the exact same boundary as the first one?
Got two quests and SPT, but no space.
Let the search begin!
This is a very cool first step for this kind of stuff.
So glad to hear you on the mend .. it looks so awesome and loving the strong beard game in this video 😀
Can we add more then 2 players ? Maybe a 5v5? 10v10 ?
wao thats look so great i have to check that out!!!

Have fun mate! []-)
@@VirtualRealityOasis thx m8! Hope you continue to feel better quick!!
weird to have your appendix out at that age, i had mine out at about 15, painful car ride that was.
Main problem that would prevent this becoming mainstream is the space requirements. The required playspace is larger than my living room.

Can you play moving with the stick? I mean that would make it playable for anyone.......
Man this update has pushed me to buy this game!
The future is almost here!
Very nice, I hope they have/add downloadable user maps and classes with individual skills.
Glad to see your recovering Mike. Do you think they will allow custom sizing in the future for spaces that are slightly smaller than the 10m?
Technically if you map out the 10x10m you should be able to create a custom map SMALLER... and just block off where you can't go...
I have to try this out for sure looks very cool
