Having released SUPERHOT VR for Oculus, we’re now starting to poke around supporting all the other VR systems (wink, WINK). I’ll keep you updated on the progress!
We got quite swallowed by work on redesigning SUPERHOT for VR but damn it was fun! I’ve spent my first week with the game just juggling and physically throwing objects at red guys :) . Realities of Virtual Reality The VR as a platform is still relatively fresh and full of uncharted territories. To be honest we had tons of frustrating, puzzle solving fun just testing the possibilities and iterating. It’s a super new technology so there is a lot to tackle and learn. No matter what we tried to take from the original SUPERHOT, we invariably ended up with a decision to either compromise and make it play poorly or to push through, work harder and redesign things from scratch straight into VR. Basic stuff like player movement or item interaction in VR forced us to completely change our approach to level architecture and gameplay. We’re not too good at compromising so pretty much everything in SUPERHOT VR is new, built with only VR in mind. It’s pretty exciting! You constantly learn and explore and then you learn some more.
Virtual reality brings a whole new level of immersion and freedom to games. SUPERHOT has always rewarded gameplay improvisation and VR closes a couple of doors for that but opens a whole lot more. People playtesting SUPERHOT VR pulled some amazing stunts that we could never think of while designing the game. We seriously can’t wait to push the release button and to see what people will come up with during the first playthroughs.

TINY FAQ: Is it really FREE for all kickstarter backers and preorders? Yes Sir. So this is a new, separate game? Right again. Will you release SUPERHOT VR on other VR platforms? Yes! You are good at this. What are the minimum specs? Video Card NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD Radeon R9 290 equivalent or greater CPU Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater Memory 8GB+ RAM Video Output Compatible HDMI 1.3 video output USB Ports 3x USB 3.0 ports plus 1x USB 2.0 port OS Windows 7 SP1 64 bit or newer How much is the fish? 24.99$ Release date on Oculus Store? 6th of December. Kinda 5thish actually. It’s probably out already by the time we post this update! Will the regular version of SUPERHOT get VR support too? Nope. VR is just waaaay too different. We will be working to get SUPERHOT VR to other VR platforms though. I’m a Kickstarter / preorder backer, I love you guys and I want you to love me back with a key? We’re shoving emails with your keys into the pipes as fast as that poor mailchimp monkey can handle. If you changed your email address since backing or if your key got lost in the interweb tubes, please let us know at wheresmykeybutistillloveyou@superhotgame.com. <3 What about all the other nonVR stuff you’re working on? It’s still in the works! Good things take time but I’ll catch an update for you guys next time. That’s it for today folks! Cheers, Szymon from SUPERHOT Team

Blurring the lines between cautious strategy and unbridled mayhem, SUPERHOT is the FPS in which time moves only when you move. No regenerating health bars. No conveniently placed ammo drops. It's just you, outnumbered and outgunned, grabbing the weapons of fallen enemies to shoot, slice, and maneuver through a hurricane of slow-motion bullets.

With its unique, stylized graphics SUPERHOT finally adds something new and disruptive to the FPS genre. SUPERHOT’s polished, minimalist visual language helps you concentrate on the most important - on the fluidity of gameplay and cinematic beauty of the fight.

SUPERHOT features:
- Endless Mode - How long can you last against unyielding waves of enemies?
- Challenge Mode - Take on SUPERHOT with your bare hands, no restarts, timed runs, and more.
- Replay Editor - Edit and upload your best runs for all to see on Killstagram.com
- Extras - Delve further into SUPERHOT with mini-games, ASCII art, and [redacted].

Thirty months in the making. Thousands of hours put into development and design. From its humble origins in the 7 Day FPS game jam, through a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign to a plethora of awards and nominations from industry experts, SUPERHOT is a labor of love by its independant, dedicated team and thousands of backers from all around the globe.
