QB-1 VR fans have been clamoring for DK2 support ever since Oculus Rift support was announced AND NOW IT'S HERE!
Qbeh-1: The Atlas Cube has now updated to the newest Oculus Rift SDK, which has better support for DK2.
Mac gamers can rejoice as well as OSX gets the Rift support and demo in this update too!
See the full Changelog here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/252550/discussions/0/540742579548648274/
Update 1.1.1
Initial release of the Rift support had some ugly blurriness to it which was somewhat caused by the antialiasing method we used (FXAA). This patch adds a new antialiasing method (SMAA) which will also look much better in the regular mode.
Digital Tribe and Liquid Flower announce that the critically acclaimed QBEH-1: The Atlas Cube has entered an all new dimension of fun - Oculus Rift support is now live on Steam!
The VR gaming community can finally see for themselves why virtual reality focused journalists are giving QBEH-1: The Atlas Cube high praise.
“Zen-like one moment, vertigo-inducing the next, this is a polished and immersive FPS platformer for the Oculus Rift that's greatly improved by its use of virtual reality.” - The Rift Arcade | 8/10
“…this is quite freaking amazing. It really adds a whole level of immersion here.” “It is definitely one of those games I will be going back to play.” - Oculus Rifter
“Qbeh-1 take’s everything that made Portal’s puzzles great and mix’s it with elements of MineCraft and even Tetris and blends them all together to create something unique yet familiar. Its Rift implementation is the best we have seen yet from a previously released 2D game so much so that it’s hard to imagine that it was not originally designed with VR in mind. Qbeh-1 is well worth your time and money as it’s a modern classic and a must play experience.” - Virtual Reality Reviewer | 4/5
