 Hey there lads and ladies, it is Petrifying Pumpkins here and welcome to a very quick update for this very short episode of PSVR news. That is because this news has just broke, it's kind of the only thing we're talking about today that I have seen so far anyway. And that is of course long ways with Alvo news, so let's just jump right into it. So here you have us, this message here from Steve, now I don't know Steve's full name, Steve is the guy who came along and kind of rescued Alvo. It was a cancelled project, he came along with his fat stacks of cash, revived the franchise, well revived the IP I should say, and he's posted this today and we've been waiting for something like this for such a long time now. Let me just read it out loud so he says we have been approved for North America beta, still working on closed. This will be a closed beta with up to 1000 participants. We are going to start with a small group of users and add more, I'm guessing more over time. Now this comes from their Discord of course, the official Alvo Discord, I'll put a link to that in the description if you want to join it yourself to keep up to date with us. Now this is for PSVR only, so for those waiting for the Oculus or whatever other versions they're going to have to wait in line. So a few things to keep in mind here, this is not an open base, places will be limited. Seen as it's just 1000 I imagine they will probably be able to hit their targets with the amount of interest people seemingly have in this game. However it is limited also to just North America, he has said that they're working on an EU beta as well and that that shouldn't be too fair behind us. Plus I do not know about the rest of the world, maybe it's just North America and the EU or maybe when they do the EU one that will include places like Australia and you know Asia and stuff like that too. So this is some good news I had been joking for months now that you know what was going to come out first, Alvo or the PS5 and despite the fact that this base is probably going to come out before the PS5 the full game itself is still we still don't have a release test. This is you know significant progress, it's nice that Sony have said okay this is ready to be put into players hands to be tested out at least. Next step is going to be the actual base of testing. People are going to be playing this roughly a thousand, maximum anyway a thousand people probably will find issues that need to be ironed out before launch so you're talking about adding a few more weeks on probably after that beta and we don't yet know either for sure will they go from closed beta to open beta to release or will they go from closed beta then just iron out all the bugs and then go straight to release from that just to save time and maybe get it out this year if possible and so yeah that's it for this very short episode of PS4 unused again just the one topic just for Alvo but let me know in the comments what you think I know a lot of people have been just I feels like for years now because it has been for years basically the game got cancelled went through development hell got resurrected from the dead and now finally two years after firewall even though they were kind of supposed to launch around the same time but whatever fingers crossed it will be the fun experience that we're hoping it will be that there won't be any issues or major ones and that most importantly that it will feel good that's the thing that keeps bringing me back to firewall is how good it feels I want that to translate to Alvo as well of course it supports the aim controller so that's a very good start that's my opinions I want to know what you think about the game in the comments below and with that I will end this video but before I do let me give a quick thank you to my patreon supporters whose names are on the screen as I speak thanks to their generosity they're keeping this channel lit and moist fam in particular let me give a huge shout out to the following top tier patreon supporters Daniel the pumpkin patch kid tradition Pete Hawkins crumb and chopped 517 thank you lads for that generosity I really do appreciate it if you want to help me out in the patreon you can do so at patreon.com forward slash petrifying pumpkins the link to that will be in the description but if you don't want to do any of that shite you can just help me out the usual old-fashioned way with the likes the shares the comments all the usual youtube and shite that you're probably sick of here and by now finally let me thank Decepticon for letting me use his music in all of my videos thank you Decepticon and you can check him out decepticon.com Spotify link in the description for him as well and with that I will end this video please lads and ladies stay moist
