Performance speaking it's been "tuned" so it's at least 60fps all over even on the Switch, the Switch version has a LIGHLTY DIFFERENT set of effects in certain parts but that you MAY note ( or not at all ) only with a side-by-side comparision to keep those 60 fps.

Obviously on PS5 you have the advantage you can use PSVR2 if you have one, do not forget to turn on the "Special FX" in VR because by default, in VR, they are OFF ( as by Sony request ).

Loving it so far - really enjoying the more thoughtful and strategic approach of some levels, alternated with the tube-shooty blasting in-between.

And def. loving the 60 FPS on Switch too, Giles. As for whatever effects have been toned down a bit, "What the eye don't see, the heart don't grieve over", so all good as far as I'm concerned!

Still haven't had heaps of time to get to grips with it, but tonight jumped from averaging in the 600K range up to 900K, which was enough to at least put me back on the first page of the high score table (for now - am sure this will not last long, just like with Akka Arrh, etc.!). Though it'd be nice to break a million, so will keep trying. :wink:

Haven’t got far with it, but at my Deck’s default settings it plays perfectly.

Also played T4k on my OLED Deck for the first time. 90hz, dark room, headphones. WOW!

Love the idea on T4K... hadn't thought of trying that...

Bought I, Robot and got 700k on first go and loads of achievements... not used to getting that with a LL game.

I was rubbish, which is why I fired up T4K to see how that fared on the Deck (had it on the Switch & Xbox and picked it up on Steam in a sale but never played).

One thing to note is that the music won't work by default. You need to go to the desktop and rename a folder so it uses the correct one. I can find the details if you need them.

After spending a few minutes trying to find I, Robot music issues on the web I realised you meant T4K! :roll: A quick google and all's good! Thank you...

This is good and I'm liking it so far...

Only slight annoyance for me is the level scrolls out of view and if you're moving back again quickly it's easy to get caught out because you see things to late.

The tunnel sections are as mad as always :D but I really miss this not being on PC VR :(

As much as we'd love it to be used, view new posts is a not obvious link and not something people will stumble on.

Ideally, we need to cull almost everything now and just have one or two areas for conversation.

So, thanks for moving it!
:lol:

Searched around for weeks to find this, wondering if the thread existed at all.


Holding L/R in tube shooter mode causes the shots to alternate between a left and right angle. Useful for shooting things not quite directly lined up, or dangerously inbound.

Good game. Massively frustrating at times. Jeff is clearly a sadist.

Yes, I beat it. Only then do you get one level where all you have to do it flip tiles in an easy, accessible 'chill mode'.

Can you not remove the text in Visualizer Mode? Come on...

I never saw any mention or discussion of the VR patch so I didn't notice it existed until now, but I just wanted to say I really appreciate it, I've been having a blast working through the game again in VR. Something about the sensory overload of these games and VR make them really therapeutic for my ADD brain.
