Can confirm, there is no Slime Go issue here :) If you are looking to play the original, the 25th Anniversary edition also avoids this problem and is available on PC, Switch and iOS.

A concrete answer on this would be too far into the spoiler zone. In my personal opinion the overall tone is very faithful to the original, and I think a broad range of players should be able to enjoy it.

Thanks, and agreed! VR is great for adventure games! There are a broad range of puzzles and I certainly don’t want to spoil anything. There was an ambition to give a uncommon level of physical responsiveness between your hands and the world. This presented a great technical challenge, and I’m proud of work the team has done there.

The AVV technology and Holomesh are developed by Arcturus. During the technology’s development there was close collaboration between Vertigo Games Rotterdam (who initiated the project with Trilobyte and handled the creative aspects - design, art, music and video production), Arcturus and my employer Exkee, where we handled the technical/code side of things. Vertigo could speak more to the capture and production side of things. On the tech side Arcturus were wonderful to work with. We couldn’t have done it without them, and I am excited to see where things go next.

Thanks! Great work on shipping Beyond! We’ve had really positive feedback from players who love the clarity they are able to achieve there.

I’m happy to say that I have trouble recommending one version over another. We’ve optimised the experience for each one. Your PC in all likelyhood has more raw horsepower, which we do use in various ways. But the Quest version comes with its own advantages in terms of autonomy and ease of use, the Quest 3 especially is a great piece of hardware that I’m excited for more people to get their hands on.

There is an almost entirely new set of puzzles, built from the ground up for VR, with many nods to the original.

Jonathan van den Wijngaarden has collaborated with George “The Fat Man” Sanger to produce a wonderful new soundtrack.

Thanks for letting me know, this is being escalated. For now the launch trailer can be seen here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jsuDYswhtaE

Yes, all newly recorded material! As noted by Keyframe below, the video quality and compression tech was very impressive 30 years ago, we wanted to try to deliver something equally new in 2023.
