À l’instar de Subnautica qui est sorti fin janvier dernier de sa longue phase d’Accès Anticipé, avec un support VR (mais incomplet). À leur tour, Les développeurs du studio Endnight Games avaient déclaré début février dernier, que la version 1.0 de THE FOREST était en approche. Et qu’il fallait du coup, aussi compter sur l’arrivée du support VR pour leur jeu. Mais toujours sans préciser de date. Ce jeu mélangeant survie/horreur à un système d’artisanat assez poussé, est en Accès Anticipé depuis mai 2014 ! Avec d’ailleurs une version VR prévue depuis sur Oculus RiFT notamment.
Puis, au début de ce mois-ci dans un message bref toujours sur le forum Steam de THE FOREST. Annoncent enfin la date choisie pour la sortie officielle de leur bébé : le 30 avril 2018. Mais cette-fois-ci aucune mention VR, alors qu’ils avaient promis de le faire à l’approche de la sortie du jeu (sic)…
Rendez-vous donc d’ici moins d’une semaine maintenant, pour avoir le fin mot de l’histoire.
[30/04/2018] :
Les développeurs de THE FOREST viennent de dévoiler une date pour la version VR. Et ce sera non pas pour aujourd’hui, date de la v1.0. Il va falloir encore patienter un petit peu, car on aura droit d’y jouer avec nos casques VR, le 22 Mai prochain. Ils en sont dithyrambiques. On ne demande qu’à les croire.

[22/05/2018] :
Comme promis finalement le mois dernier. Les développeurs de THE FOREST viennent de sortir aujourd’hui la tant attendue MàJ VR. Ainsi, le jeu devient jouable en entier et spécialement (re)pensé pour la Réalité Virtuelle. À noter que celle-ci est en phase Bêta, et donc sujette à des bug, etc.
Hey everyone,
This release adds a first pass of VR Support to The Forest.
Some of the highlights of the VR version include: Full bow aiming. Throwing flares by breaking the tops off them. Lighting molotovs with your lighter, full 3d inventory, and 3d book, and of course chopping down trees with touch controls, but our favourite part of this release are the caves. The caves feel claustrophobic and terrifying and the creatures at scale take on a new life.
We’re releasing this as beta as we see VR as something really exciting but also very new. We’re trying a ton of ideas with how selection works, with how cutscenes work, with our inventory and want everyone’s ideas and feedback so we can make this the best VR experience possible.
As it is beta, expect some bugs and technical issues. We’ll be updating this branch regularly.
Note: First release does not have multiplayer support but that’s coming soon.
