    I am surprised that I am having problems with Firewall Zero Hour. In fact, I contacted the FTC twice because Firewall Zero Hour may be a Call of Duty competitor. Remember the sled in one of America's favorite movies Citizen Kane. In this case there is a white light gun. According to Video Game History, the gun accessory gets a lot of support from the gaming community. Could the FTC case be someone' elses anger at being denied the use of an $80 Playstation gun accessory? There is a $69 billion dollar deal in which the Department of Justice is arguing that Microsoft would be in violation of the FTC AntiTrust Laws.

    Well, I had a $300 used Playstation IV and it blocked my use of the TV via two HDMI ports and then also denied me use of the Playstation VR headset. I just got a new $300 Playstation 4 and it just pulled a couple of tricks. First to make the image to big so that there would be eye strain. Of course you should be able to recalibrate the image by going to the VR section in the system file. Now it's claiming that "The add-on for the following applications is corrupted."

    How many people can still see the white sled in the fire? That Playstation iV gun accessory will be the main image in the minds of the judges before they decide to block the $69 billion Activision deal with Microsoft. Now let me contact the FTC for the third time.    … Expand

    Probably the best VR tactical FPS released, still not perfect but that's based on my personal bias that the VR tech isn't there yet.

    Really good gameplay, love the guns details, the attachments and how the sights work, the non-toxic community, the only thing that doesn't make this game 10/10 is the dead lobbies

    The best tactical multiplayer shooter for VR today. It has the quality of counter strike, so this could also be a candidate for E-Sport tournaments. There is a lack of campaign and also playing as solo is boring, so this game really shines on multiplayer. The aim controller is really well done implemented and a must-have for this game.

When you kill the “host” they more than likely will quit Mid match and you’ll get kicked out of the game and lose all your progress. Back in the lobby you go only to repeat the wait for 8/8 players which takes on average 5-10 minutes. Matches are over in less than a minute when you are able to finish them and there’s only one round.

    Cannot play the game. The new user support system is so poorly designed that two grown me. Could not figure out how to activate any of the menu items. There was no moving cursor generated by any of four separately used controllers. The game is unplayable.

    One if not the best experience you get on the PsVR!

    I played it first with the DS4 Controller, it works but the Aim Controller gives you a better feel. Over my playtime there were a few minor bugs in the menus and i had some host migrations but the simple yet allways fun attack and defend gameplay makes up for it! The only thing that could have been better is the unlock system. At least    One if not the best experience you get on the PsVR!

    The only thing that could have been better is the unlock system. At least make it somehow possible to see WHEN you unlock a certain gun or item.
    There could also be a ep or crypto bonus if the entire team survives a round in my opinion.

    The gameplay is so cool, and with the aim controller it is incredibly satisfying and tactical. So it's a real shame this game has more connection issues than any game i have ever played. I am not exaggerating when I say you will spend the vast majority of your time waiting to start a game. It uses peer to peer connection, so you can guess how well that works, and there is no host migration, which means every couple of matches you will be kicked out to the main menu and have to wait for ages all over again. This is not helped by the long wait times to start, the 5 minute ready up timer, and then the long wai times for it to load the map. I really enjoyed this game but had to give up playing it as it was so frustrating to be kicked out every match, often midway through if the host left. This isnt helped by the fact the dev team are active enough to release endless nw micro transactions, but not active enough to fix all the sever issues and bugs. How interesting. I would say wait until the game is fixed and it will be great, but it has now been 2 years and nothing has changed. The gameplay is so good, the best on psvr, if you have played pavlov its basically a much simpler version, but my good is it frustrating, and the dev team do not care. They are still releasing battle passes, but not fixing the fundamental flaws.    … Expand

    This game is one of a kind and does the VR shooter genre massive justice.

    Combat is fluid and the VR experience is amazing. Downsides, there are a few. - There is only one game mode. ONLY ONE. The game mode is a 4v4 hack or defend the laptop with no re-spawns. It reminds me a lot of rainbow six siege which is another great game. However it slows down the game so much and    This game is one of a kind and does the VR shooter genre massive justice.

However it slows down the game so much and considering it takes about 4-5 minutes to start a game it can be over in 2-3 minutes then you have wait again which can be annoying.

    If this game had a simple team death match tacked on, 10 minutes with respawns, I could see myself giving this game an 8/10 instead of a 7. Due to this fact I cannot give it any higher because I believe it was such a poor decision to only include one game type and quite frankly it isn't even the most popular online shooter game mode.

    The graphics can also be quite hazey too.    … Expand

    I thought it was going to be a boring, one trick pony for VR... 3 hours later, boy was I wrong. Great sense of team play, very realistic gun physics. Fantastic game play all around. Minus 1 point because sometimes, the rounds are too short. That's it, only annoying part about the game is the length of the rounds.

The game in Firewall Zero Hour, even in its current form, makes playing in this game great and the syndrome of one more fight is very strong here. Even if you avoid playing by internet with people, I still recommend trying this production with friends.

    Firewall Zero Hour needs more support from a pretty large community of PSVR owners. It's understandable that it may not be everyone's choice of gameplay. With dozens of small quirky titles and some fully fledged AAA games that don't rely on interpersonal competitiveness, some players may choose to pass on this shooter. It's way too early to tell if the game will take off and garner the praise and community that it arguably deserves. Firewall Zero Hour is a dream for any shooter fan.
