New From SideQuest: Banter VR Launches Refreshed Backrooms Space
Prep your hazmat suit and get ready for a dystopian dose of disorientation and all-round uneasiness, because the Backrooms are returning to…
I’m not a big fan of VR chat or games like it. I don’t really see the point in sitting around and talking, but surprisingly I’ve been enjoying Banter, I think this is why:
- Physics based movement (climbing, swinging, etc) is quite fun and gives me something to do while having out. Some worlds, such as backrooms, are actually fun to explore.
- It looks decent, but more importantly: it actually performs great on Quest.
There’s definitely things to improve upon and I’m certain it won’t be for everyone, but I think it’s worth checking out.
Maybe I should give it a shot. So many of them have been so janky not even worth trying.
It’s free, so it doesn’t hurt to check it out. It’s definitely not flawless and still early in development. Also not too many people online, best if you grab a friend and check out backrooms or the winter map.
Let me know what you think of it, if you end up having a look :)
I've been playing banter for a little bit now, and my main observation is that everyone is SO FREAKING NICE. The admins, the other players, even the random little kids I've encountered have all been so damn sweet.
They host a weekly open mic night which I've attended twice now, and there aren't any hecklers! Not one!
It's crazy to me that an online space can be populated by such polite people. It's such a breath of fresh air.
Makes me happy to read this, but my guess is that’s due to the small player base. If it had gorilla tag player numbers it would certainly be a whole different story.
Likely. I'll enjoy how it is while I can.
