Working now - worth a download

I've just downloaded an update for this and it's working now. Not as graphically impressive as the Rift version but still good. It's a very short demo of slo-mo action with bullets. rocks, missiles and a car flying past you as you slowly advance towards the big baddie at the end. Totally non-interactive. A great demo to show friends new to VR. It runs on a loop so starts over. You have to quit to end it. If you press B, a stats list appears overlaid but it's almost impossible to read, and I didn't access any menu to change the parameters. (There are instructions in the description but I didn't try them.) Anyway, it's free and worth a try.

Awesome performance

The highest graphics settings are not turned on by default. Be sure to go to the settings and increase the AA to 8X.

This is it? - not worth a download

This fancy AppSW can bring you up to 70% more performance and so more details in games bringing it even closer to pc vr gaming. Might be true? Can't tell cause if this is what we get it is pretty disapointing. It runs smooth I give you that but visually you constantly think "Ok now the textures and effects will load this can't bit this low res, right?" but no, the demo ends and it looks like every other game on Quest 2. I would even say Red Matter or Vader Immortal looks better than this. It is really not worth the space it takes.
