We review the new VR game Pistol Whip, a mix of first-person shooter and music rhythm genres. It’s some of the most fun we’ve had in VR, and makes us feel like we’re the star of an action film. Plus, we visit the developers of the game to learn how a Pistol Whip level is designed!

when the mods come out for custom levels, i expect to see beast in black no surrender
It looks like this would give me motion sickneww
any setting to fix the problam?????
how to fix the bullets keep following me when i doge i doge and i still get hit
Its amazing, its just not a real rhythm game like Synth Riders, Beat Saber and Audica. There is more focus on fun shooting with heats but not hitting a beat a the exact time.
I couldn't get into this as a rhythm game since you have to actually care about the score for the beat matching aspect to matter. The thing that saved it for me was that you can just turn on dead eye (real accuracy) mode and it makes for a pretty good on-rails shooter with a trippy environment and good music.
Also an accuracy stat at the end of a game on deadeye. Based on hit vs misses
I feel like deadeye should have two different levels like one with a laser sight with like a 10% and than one without any 20%
How do you reload in this game
extremely fun game! this game and beat saber are a must for oculus owners!
Once they make user created levels like beat saber then this game is going to probably be the next top VR game
Hey Norm. Saw this vid, Adam's saber hilt build, then watched your OQuest review, then ordered a Quest for myself. Sounds like a perfect "VR console". Not needing a thousand-dollar-PC to do VR gaming is a huge relief.
Would rather have Time Crisis. Repetitive score games like this remind me of Atari 2600 games, fun in short bursts.
Sweet Kilt @ 24:00
They should do a boss level similar to one like Rez HD where you follow a boss and you have hit the boss on beat to lower the shields on him.
I loved this review but it could have easily been 20 minutes shorter and given the same content.
I wish there was a demo before deciding to buy
Does anyone know if this is coming out on PSVR I am too broke to afford a pc
Norm produces solid content. Too bad he has this huge personality shaped hole.
How is motion sickness with the constant movement?
HIIIIIIIghly reccomend watching omotea play this. She fucking kills it at keeping rhythm with her shots. Dancing helps a lot!!
Where's the Music? For a game that's built around the music, he doesn't show the action matching with the music?
Im so obsessed with the fact they dont give you the timing of the rhythm. That freedom of you yourself being the one who has to keep the rhythm is awesome and allows for more creativity and replay-ability. Excited to snag this on payday.
This is a lot more in depth then i expected, great video! I love seeing the behind the scenes on games and seeing what influenced their decisions.
Sorry, how do you do a magazine change?
Need better songs and they need to make the gameplay actually synce up with the songs.
This game ahould not be allowed to advertise as a Rhythmm game because its not .
No mention of the lack of Rythmm in a game meant to be a Rhythmm shooter?
This is the best vr game I've gotten in the last year, and a great review for going the extra miles to interview the developers. It's a really well-designed game that takes great advantage of vr, and it even has an exit (many vr games think that opening the vr overlay and killing the app from there is good enough)
What sofware are you using to do the mixed reality.
2 days ago I beat the first level on hard, my legs have been sore and are still sore now
Too difficult and frustrating for me personally, but I can see if one was more patient and coordinated how this game would be AWESOME.
how do you record yourself into the game with all these angles?
Are they going to take one from Beat Saber and charge us for more music that isn't in our taste pallet?
I hope it gets as famouse as beatsaber so this game get custom.levels that be awesome and custom music
Anyone knows how to get the spectator cam like this?
Thanks for all the background info on this really cool titel!
Great game, a bit over pricey I feel for the amount of content they say there going be added more so really hope they do. I’m surprise they don’t add hostages that you have to avoid shooting .
Wait how can you play with two guns? I haven't played too much but from everything I've done it's just been gun in right hand
Now THIS is a review!
