... that one reviewer said that the VR real-time strategy game Homeworld: Vast Reaches is an "unsatisfying lite" version of the series?

Source: "Homeworld: Vast Reaches is less a virtual reality reinvention of this legendary space RTS than it is an unsatisfying lite version for the Meta Quest 2 and 3." [1]

ALT1: ... that the mixed reality mode in the real-time strategy virtual reality game Homeworld: Vast Reaches allows virtual ships to fly around the player's room? Source: "I was impressed by the unexpected ease of playing the game, but I wasn’t blown away until we switched over to Mixed Reality. In Passthrough Mode on the Quest 3, the blackness of outer space disappears, replaced with the real-life environment you’re physically in. Suddenly, the hotel room where I demoed the game became the setting of a thrilling dogfight. A bomber swooped in front of the TV set while enemy ships soared over the bed. It was quite a sight, but it was also very confusing." [2]

Comment: Prefer ALT1, but it's tough to make it work with WP:DYKFICTION – I've attempted to thread the needle here. If I need more ALTs, happy to pull them.

@Nomader: How would you feel about the following?

ALT1a: ...that within the mixed reality mode of Homeworld: Vast Reaches ships seem to fly around the player's room? CSJJ104 (talk) 19:15, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CSJJ104: I think that would be perfect (apologies for the delay!) – would address my DYKFICTION concerns! Nomader (talk) 18:38, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Full review needed now that new hook has been proposed. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:55, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
New enough and long enough; appropriately sourced; no issues with POV, CV/CLOP, etc. Hook reasonably interesting and sourced. QPQ done. Looks good to me! ♠PMC♠ (talk) 15:31, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nomader, CSJJ104, and Premeditated Chaos: What makes this hook comply with WP:DYKFICTION?--Laun chba ller 07:50, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because it clearly "involve[s] the real world in some way"? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 13:59, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
