The cinematic ride is very interesting, trying to bring you close enough to the experience and witness space at the same time.
It was very positive that they used actual recordings from the mission among their tailored scripts to make things more realistic.
As soon as this game starts i get motion sickness, does not happen in any other game but this one its terrible. I was alright when I had the oculus dk1, but now I have the rift and its unplayable. No idea why its so bad with this headset since it's meant to be better. Like I said I play many other VR games and its fine, just this one its not so good.
Beautiful graphics. gives you the feeling of being their! The exploration of the CM and LM is fun and educational, gives you the feeling how small these vehicles really were.
Was very impressed and full of awe watching Apollo 11 in Cinema mode. I was 13 years old when I watched the moon landing on black and white TV so maybe this game means more to me because of my age, but I think this will be an outstanding experience for any age. I can't wait to show it to my Grand daughters. This is a remarkable experience for the $10.00 price I paid for Apollo 11. I give this game / experience highest praise and strongly recommend buying this title.
Would have been alot better without the inspirational influencer music in every scene. And the controls are attrocious for the Quest 2. Do yourself a favour and just do the cinematic scenes instead.
Good experience though. I learnt some stuff.
Not bad and essential if you're into VR and non-fictional space stuff. The videos are pretty good but are all quite short. The 2 interactive segments are ok (but I found landing the Eagle impossible).
Nice experience. Works with HP Reverb G2 but I was not able to take control of the modules so it was only cinematic experience for me. I also had to disable Citrix Virtual Bus Enumerator as the game was crashing with it enabled.
I love this experience, except I got really motion sick from it, when I never EVER get motion sick from vr. Wish I could experience it more, but it was good the time I could pay attention to it.
I used this on a HP Reverb G2 and it was much more enjoyable than I expected.
It took about 45 minutes to do the non interactive movie, but it looks amazing
and no glitches that I noticed. A good showcase for VR, especially if you're new like me.
So far, my favourite experience. Thanks for reading.
I'm not sure what level of expectation the negative reviewers had to have been so critical of this experience. As everyone has said, it's not a "game" -- it's a cinematic experience, but one well worth having. I didn't bother with the interactive aspect, so no disappointment on my part there, and I still found it worth the $9.99. Seeing the massive scale of the Saturn V in VR instead of on a 2D screen, being in the cramped modules (both command and lunar lander), hearing the original radio transmissions throughout... I thought the whole thing was wonderful. I've watched it three times, and each of my sons (one of whom is an Aerospace Engineering student) has put on my headset and watched it, too, and we all enjoyed it. My only complaint was the long loading screens between segments, which can pull you out of the immersion, but hey, not a deal-breaker to me. As for the immersion, other than the aforementioned loading screens, I thought it was great. Maybe the people who say it's not immersive were hoping for more of a "hands-on" experience. I say, go in expecting to be a silent observer in a 3D movie, and you won't be disappointed.
Disappointing. I thought this simulation was complete but sadly a few key elements were left out. We never learn how the lunar module is exposed and how the astronauts boarded it. We see the pod fly off the lunar lander but nothing about what happens after that. You just appear inside the capsule for descent. I have been waiting for a simulation like this since I was a kid and I feel let down. It was interesting but very incomplete.
I know this is not a simulator, but at least a modes degree of accuracy would go a long way here.
- It is an exclusively seated experience, even though in the first scene we are STANDING in a lift. Not to mention that the astronauts STAND in the LEM during landing, and they WALK on the moon.
- sky goes black at 2 miles high during launch.
- rocket goes vertically up, does not follow launch trajectory.
- Perspective all wrong. In Earth orbit it feels more like spinning round building sized yoga ball. In 2D this trickery may work, but in VR it is really obvious.
- the initial orbital burn was at a height of about 120 miles. That is almost half the distance from ISS orbit, yet in this experience looks like we are almost 3 times as high
- During the LEM extraction mini-game none of the instruments are working.
- Moon is another giant beach-ball.
- Moon LEM - Columbia separation, and orbital manoeuvres are all wrong...
- During the landing mini-game we have drag(!). LEM module looses ground speed as if it was flying through air. Of course, no instruments are working, and the ones that do are inaccurate.
The game doesn't seem to support Oculus Rift S headsets, as the world seems to move around faster than it should (I turn 90 degrees irl, but the games moves 120 degrees), and I am put in very weird positions. As of now it is going to be a return, although I wish I could've gone through the entire game :(
If you love space, get this experience. If you are looking for a way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landings, get this experience. Highly highly recommended.
I highly recommend this immersive and hands-on documentary/game where you can pilot the command and lunar modules in high resolution and detail. Especially with the 50 anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing coming up on July 20 2019, this is a great way to relive the history and the incredible feat accomplished by NASA, all the engineers and staff involved and the astronauts that risked (and gave) their lives to inspire generations after them. I was in tears watching my daughter experience the moment when America rose up to the challenge of its President. I would like to thank the development team for making this available to us and in VR.
Oh this is absolutely awesome! Definitely worth the $$$ I paid. I just wish it was longer. Tip for non-VR users: DO NOT try to start the simulation from the desktop shortcut. Click the "Launch on Monitor" in the Apollo 11 VR HD tab on the Games menu (you can access that by Right clicking the game title on the game list on the side). Otherwise you won't be able to look around and your experience will really suck. As it was I found it accidentally when I thought was going to uninstall it. Glad I didn't! The music matches the graphics well and it is a great experience. I have read about this mission all my life but I don't think I really understood it until I experienced this simulation.
I hope that there will be more experiences from this Developer, other than the other two (that I already have) for the Titanic and the British WWII bombing mission (both of which are available on Steam btw).
One minor gripe: The Developers REALLY need to be more responsive to Steam customers. They do respond but it seems they take much longer compared to other Developers. Still, they make great simulations!
I just finished this amazing work that actually brought tears to my eyes. It brings the story of Apollo 11 to life and allows you to get closer than ever before.
It's not bad, but it's not what I expected. I had some notable problems playing this with Oculus Rift.
The look sensitivity was way too high, which creates motion sickness.
The tutorial screens currently don't show Oculus controls. Both controllers are required to dock but the instructions say that only one controller is required. Took a while to figure out why I couldn't translate the command module. I still don't know how to perform the lunar descent: the controls don't seem to do anything.
If you're not sitting perfectly still in the center of your play area, your head will be outside of your space suit or even outside of the space craft.
I was also hoping to see more parts of the mission, like the lunar capture burn, re-docking with the command module after lunar ascent, crew transfer, etc. But overall it was a satisfying experience and quite cinematic.
I got it on sale and it was worth the experience to me. But until the over-sensitivity and Oculus controls are patched, my recommendation is 👎.
This is the greatest "out of this world" experience I ever had. Finally, everyone can feel, see, experience what the astronauts saw when they arrived to the Moon's orbit. Wonderfully detailed Saturn V rocket, moon view, Earth view. The music - you could write a book about it. Perfect, amazing, unique, fantastic music. The music is class of its own here!
I especially love the music from TLC part and re-entry. But also from Moon arrival. Really, super. I would continue to work with that musician for next apps. He is a genius. A guy originally from Poland.
A little constructive criticism what you could fix in an update (really, please do it, not huge work to do, the effect will be very visibl):
1. During Saturn's Start I miss the details of the ground. When I look outside the cabin (I stand), I see ... almost total lack of details around the rocket, which were visible just a moment before when we were flying down the Saturn rocket to get on the elevator. It is too empty around during start. That launchpad stuff should stay were it was.
2. When we reach space during start, I would make the Earth even more detailes (the moment the rocket is joining us from the lower parts of atmosphere). Make more detailed ground, higher resolution and fix some weird straight lines in clouds.
3. When two modules connect (I stood to look outside the cabin) there was a little offset. They did not nicely connect in center. You know what I mean. You can see the landing module and command module are displaced against each other. Should be a simple fix.
4. Let us leave the cabin with joystick (Windows Mixed reality) and move freely in space around the currently playing part. I wish to see modules joining in space from the outside, not only from the inside. It is all very interesting to observe.
5. Moon arrival- wow...That's, a truly jaw dropping part. One thing. Please make the Moon from orbit EVEN MORE detailed. It is already very very nice, but I would add even more resolution to that. Is it possible?
6. Moon arrival - The landing module, to show people the scale of things, should go down and down and down and almost completely disappear. Those who watch it will understand how big the Moon is against the lander. The lander simply disappears as a tiny, few pixel object. I know it is not easy task in terms of TIME. You wanted it all to be in real-time - The lander slowly descends. Sure. But please add maybe 20 more seconds to this part and let the lander be reduced to a few pixels. This will be BIG. Let us feel the scale, the 120 km orbit altitude.
7. I know it is very hard, but would it be possible, to make "sand" on Moon? You added little dust coming out from astronaut's boots - this is soo good. so good attention to details. But the surface of the Moon looks kind of like a flat image projected on surface. Maybe Tesselation? Add more depth to the ground?
8. Earth from Moon's surface looks too blurred. Can anything be done about it?
9. I greatly miss the part where the lander returns to the orbit from Moon and connects to the command module (at least the view from outside, 15-20 seconds to let people and kids watching it understand how it all happened the Moon lander reached Earth back. It was cut and I would not cut it.
10. Re-entry - This is a SPECTACULAR PART. I watched it like 20 times already. While everything is so amazing here, I noticed clouds during parachute descend are coming out of small circle, which kills realism. Please, move cloud generation say... 200 meters bellow the landing capsule, so clouds around the capsule are already like a fog and cloud. Not round circles generated 50 meters bellow the capsule:)
11. I greatly miss the opportunity to walk freely on Moon in say 1 km square around the lander. Normal teleport mode like in Steam Home or movement with joysticks. For ultimate experience there could have been a 2 km mountain there so you could walk up and see the lander from say 1 km altitude.
The above would be amazing to see. It was extraordinary you decided to update the original Apollo 11 with HD version. The original was soo much worse than HD. HD is the version which should have been released originally. I would not take money from those who bought the original Apollo 11, but offer a free update of that app.
Please fix things above for perfection level. This app will be shown to kids everywhere. It matters how it all looks in the smallest details. I imagine seeing this with 2080 RTX card (which I own) and raytracing... :)
PS: Add Windows Mixed reality as supported devices. I played it perfectly on Samsung Odyssey Plus. Add more tags like "space" "orbit" "lunar" "moon" "earth" - You are losing potential customers who don't know it works very well on WMR and can't find you by more tags.
Two bugs to report and one recommendation, otherwise grate product. First, the projector in the beginning is not feeding film through projector. Not sure how your graphic artist could have made this mistake. Film is feeding in a loop. Google how a projector should look. Second error, the moon during takeoff. At first you can see the entire moon, 75% is shadowed but visible. Then when in space, you can only see 25% of it. Are you implying that we can see the moon better when in Earth's atmosphere? Last is a recommendation. The hand controllers for VR have a vibrator built into them. I would recommend you activate them during takeoff and reentry. It would seriously improve the VR experience. A very simple fix. Hope to see if in the next update.
I want to recommend this so much, since the first release was one of the first things I bought for my Vive when it released over two years ago, and I've re-watched it many many times. Especially since there is only one review at time of writing. However, I must admit I'm a little bit disappointed with this new version
First the good things.
* Only an extra fiver if you own the original.
* There is much more detail in the cockpits. (Which were already great in the original)
* There are some nice new details on the gantry descent.
* The astronauts now move around more and lip sync their lines. They look like they're actually doing things a bit more.
* There's a really nice sunrise effect on the clouds on the first earth overview
* Clouds layers in general seem much improved and look more 3d.
* Viewpoints have been tweaked slighty to better guide your eye to the ship etc. eg I previously watched many people completely miss the LM descent for example as they were watching the Command Module.
* Many textures are much higher res, in particular the moon surface.
* Armstrong now leaves footprints after describing how his boot leaves footprints.
But the bad
* Higher res textures mean higher aliasing issues. Viewed in the original Vive there is pretty horrible shimmering on the cockpit text when it lights up, and absolutely horrific on the moon surface during the landing sequence. Obviously the high specular reflections on the external shots of the modules are problematic too. Running at 200% Steam SS improved matters somewhat but still pretty noticable. This is screaming out for some proper anti-aliasing options, Preferably some selective AA on the worst bits since the scenes are generally so static.
* First earth overview has some wierd pulsating effect on the city lights which seems deliberate, so maybe it's reproducing a genuine physical effect, but it looked strange and distracting to me.
* Landing sequence high res ground texture noticably cuts off into a blurry mess in the distance.
* Landing sequence no longer kicks up dust when "kicking up some dust" is spoken
* Lander windows have lost the dust/smear texture. Personally I really liked that on the original.
* Armstrong's footprints are now there, but frankly look pretty bad. Like the cheapest decal slapped on the grount texture.
* "Skip to the next section" option seems broken on keyboard and only works 10% of the time.
* Point lights still clip though geometry (eg roof lights inside lander, sun through window in one eye). This was in the original too.
* There is some extra spoken audio inside the lander which sounds like normal voice rather than filtered over comms, but it isn't directional.
Honestly I was hoping this would blow me away, since I love the original so much, but it just needs a little more polish IMHO. However, it's still a fantastic and moving experience, so I heartily recomend it if you've never seen it before.
Absolutely Fantastic!
Great job done by the developer team.
The increased detail makes a huge difference, especially with a Vive Pro.
Love being able to explore the spacecraft interiors as "free roam".
Just 1 minor detail seems off - on the lunar surface the lunar module's landing gear thermal blankets appear too "thick" or bulky - I believe the non-HD version is more realistic with repect to landing leg thickness.
