Reality Bytes Epi #2 VR & AI, Battlefield 6, ARK Raiders, Google XR
About this episode
Episode 2 welcomes Skeeva officially onto the team, and the crew wastes no time getting into a packed agenda spanning Battlefield 6, ARC Raiders, Reach, the new Galaxy XR headset, and the ongoing VR-and-AI conversation. An early thread asks a simple but loaded question about AI: what's actually real versus hype?
There's a strong PlayStation VR flavor throughout. The hosts celebrate PSVR2 Day with the community, share a Shuhei Yoshida cameo and an affectionate homage to Japan, and run trailers for VRacer Hoverbike, Shadow Gate, and Audio Trip on PSVR2. The flat-gaming side gets real attention too, with a two-part Battlefield discussion and trailer, the announcement of Rager, and a Roboquest VR launch date.
The ARC Raiders segment and trailer make their case for the extraction shooter, and the AI thread returns on a positive note as the crew highlights genuinely useful tools, with Skeeva and Todd each sharing their top AI apps, and Skeeva plugging his new album Null Protocol. It's an energetic early episode that sets the template for the show's blend of VR, flat games, and AI talk.
