TRUE FISHING VR EXPERIENCE IS HERE!

5 April, 2016 - alex

TODAY WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE BETA STEAM VR SUPPORT.
AN OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE THAT SHALL BLOW YOU AWAY!

AVAILABLE TO ALL STEAM VR (HTC VIVE) OWNERS

currently, we support HTC Vive only, VR support is experimental.

HOW TO LAUNCH FISHING PLANET IN VR MODE

EASY STEPS TO GET HOLD OF TOP-NOTCH VR EXPERIENCE

HOW TO ENABLE STEAM VR ON FIRST LAUNCH

The first time you run STEAM VR you may need to do the following:
1) Run Steam in the desktop client without the -vr option
2) Find "SteamVR" under "Tools" in your library. (If you don't have it installed, install it.)
3) Bring up properties on SteamVR and opt-in to the "Beta Update" beta. Let the update download.
4) Quit the Steam Client again and start it with -vr

P.S.
Alex here, guys, the experience is very impressive. To be honest we ourselves did not expect it to be so immersive.

I love how only the vote thumbs up counts are shown. True democracy at work there lmao. VR maybe something for 2 years down the line. If you cannot put together a working version on the PC isn't it a bit of a reach to even hope that VR would be even on par?. I don't want to sound disrespectful far from it but it is obvious your team lacks knowledge of fishing in every department. You maybe top computer programers but you really need to visit a universty and go see the physics geeks and get them explain in layman's terms how tackle works with a fish. Then perhaps you can translate it to the game.

Ditto motion controls. I just went "crap, I wasted 5gb of my data cap" after seeing they aren't supported.

@Alex: Is there any intention to add motion controlls? Right now, that's the only thing that's preventing me from taking interest in this title. Also, what does "premium" add? I was originally excited to see this was just DLC supported, but many games that do DLC & Timed Premium seem to end up just sucking money, so I'm curious if Premium is NICE to have (such as doubling the amount of in-game currency earned for it's duration), or if it's basically required to experiance the full game (such as by disallowing large amounts of game content unless you're premium). Do you explain that anywhere? Thank you! Look forward to HTC shipping my Vive so I can try this properly! :D

VR support..... I would like to see some new ingamegear and not the support for a platform i dont have and of course i dont use as the most of the PC gamers , well done 4 this update ...maybe...

This is going to be the first game I play when my Vive shows up next week. Can't wait. To the developers - how good is the support? Do you support the motion controllers for casting/reeling?

Larry78 8 Apr, 2016 @ 9:05pm

omg, who actually need this?

jib1000 8 Apr, 2016 @ 3:10pm

How about instead of making the game NOT work on a VR unit you instead make the game ACTUALLY work on PC? You know, like fixing the licensing and fine system. Is that too much to ask? To be able to actually play the game?

a quand une canne anglaise puissance 20 kgs? à quand des bobines de tresse 0.23 et 0.28 de plus de 150 m ou la possibilité comme avant la maj de raccorder les bobines entre elles ! a part cela jeu agréable et reposant.
