Since it was first announced last year, we were told Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond was an Oculus Rift exclusive. That's changed, however.

Today was a big day for virtual reality. The Oculus Quest 2 VR headset was officially revealed, Ubisoft confirmed that new Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed VR games are in the works, and Electronic Arts announced that Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is coming on December 11, and will be multiplatform. Several others, some new and some updates to existing games, were also announced.
One game industry executive who doesn't share that enthusiasm, however, is Take Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick. Asked about he potential impact of cloud gaming, and Stadia in particular, he said in an interview with Protocol that "any new distribution vehicle that offers high-quality, efficiency and a reasonable price is good for our business," but also used VR as a cautionary tale about getting too caught up in the hype.

A reboot of the classic six-degrees-of-freedom shooter Descent was Kickstarted in 2015, raising $601,773. Five years later it's tangled up in a messy legal dispute between developer Descendent Studios and publisher Little Orbit, in which Little Orbit claim that Descendent failed to meet milestones and quality standards, and then stopped working on the game completely. Descendent launched a countersuit, alleging that it was Little Orbit's demands for additional console ports and other technical work that caused the delays, and that the publisher had failed to meet its financial commitments and promotional obligations.

If you've ever been playing Fall Guys and found yourself, in an uncharitable moment, wishing that all your opponents' jelly beans would fall down dead so that you could qualify unimpeded, spare a thought for Twitch streamer PrinxessTi. Yesterday they discovered that this fantasy scenario is a bit less satisfying and more worrisome when it plays out in real life.

Story-rich RPG and all-round indie darling Undertale celebrated its fifth birthday this week, with a full orchestral performance of the game's soundtrack among the festivities. Of course, with most musicians still in lock-down along with the rest of us, the concert wasn't live. Instead, a recording from May 2019 was streamed to YouTube, along with some new material; so, if you somehow missed your invitation to see the original performance in Tokyo last year, now is an excellent time to get caught up.
