Yesterday, Meta announced Batman: Arkham Shadow, a VR-only game coming exclusively to the Meta Quest 3. Batman: Arkham Shadow is in development at Camouflaj, a developer with offices in Bellevue, Washington, and Kamakura, Japan. Camouflaj was founded in 2011 by Ryan Payton, who had previously worked at KONAMI as Assistant Producer on Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Meta Quest 3 Gets Major YouTube Upgrade

The Meta Quest 3 has received a major upgrade to YouTube, adding the ability to watch 8K videos. The update gives Meta Quest 3 owners the opportunity to make the most of their device's capabilities and should be a significant improvement over 4K video on the same device.
The Meta Quest 3 has seen a series of improvements lately, as have its predecessors, the Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro. Most recently, the Meta Quest headsets have gained the ability to be used while lying down. This feature makes it easier for users to enjoy more static content while lounging, and it should be a perfect feature to pair with YouTube's new visual fidelity on the Meta Quest 3.
The official YouTube app for the Meta Quest 3 has been updated, adding support for 8K visuals in standard format, 180-degree, and 360-degree videos. This update is only available for the Meta Quest 3 at this time, and is unlikely to come to the other two supported VR headsets given that the Quest 3 has superior display resolution to both the Meta Quest 2 and Quest Pro. It's also possible that the older chips used in the Quest 2 and Quest Pro may not be powerful enough to support this feature.
While watching standard YouTube videos on the Quest is a valid option, where the headset genuinely shines is watching immersive content in the form of 180 and 360-degree videos. This resolution improvement should help them to look much better. It's worth noting that after updating the app, users may need to manually set the resolution to 8K. Videos with 8K quality available should list an option to switch to 4320p. The Quest 3 can support both 30 and 60-fps videos.
Right now, nothing seems to be set in stone regarding the eventual successor to the Quest 3. Meta has been putting a lot of focus into AI development recently, and its investments in VR have led to significant losses for the company. It's not clear if or when a Quest 4 will come out, though some rumors regarding a new version of the Quest 3 at a lower price have surfaced. In the meantime, the company has ended support for the original Meta Quest.
Those who are interested in VR but balk at the high price-point of the Quest 3 may be interested in trying the Quest 2, instead. The Meta Quest 2 has received price-cuts recently, bringing the cost down to $199. Although the Quest 2 is less powerful than the Quest 3, it's still a significant upgrade from the original Oculus Quest, and also shares the ability to connect to a PC to play PC VR games.
The Meta Quest 3 is the latest and greatest mixed-reality headset that brings a host of improvements compared to the previous generation. The Quest 3 has higher resolution displays per eye with support for 90Hz and 120Hz refresh rates.

While games like 2013's Aliens: Colonial Marines are considered to be some of the worst licensed games made with the IP, others like Aliens: Dark Descent are decent enough entries that offer a fun experience. One game that most fans argue has yet to be surpassed in terms of horror is Alien: Isolation.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is Missing a Popular Persona Game Mechanic
Atlus game fans are looking forward to Metaphor: ReFantazio, but the game is going to be missing a common mechanic of Persona games that players enjoy: building romances with NPCs. While the mechanic may be missed, it's another indication that Metaphor: ReFantazio and its Shin Megami Tensei and Persona predecessors do differ, despite their similarities.
