Last month huh.. Dang, last month before it's gone.. it's still hard to believe. This was my favourite VR- no favourite videogame of all time. I had so many good memories, got so many good friends, so many good moments and plays. This truly is a legendary game in the history of meta. Also deleting the game is a big mistake from meta's end, there would have been so many better ways to do it.
Well then, gotta make the most outta these last moments, love you echo players. The game will never be forgotten, it's stuck in our hearts, goodbye echo...

レビューで最後のお別れ。初めてこのゲームを手にした時のことを覚えている。クエスト1のオープンベータからこのゲームを持っていて、大好きだった。このゲームは現実的でもなく、最高のプレイヤーベースを持っていたわけでもなかったけど、僕はこのゲームが大好きだった。たくさんの同族嫌悪やいじめに直面したけど、同時にいい人たちに出会って、素晴らしい試合をすることもできた。Goodbye forever echo echo vr 2 か lone echo 3 (あるいは、今後予定されているプロジェクト) が、ready at dawn の水準に達することを願っています。さようなら :) (:

My final goodbye in a review. I remember when I first got this game, I’ve had this game since the open beta on quest 1 and I loved it. The game wasn’t realistic or had the best player base but I loved it and I’ve faced lots of homophobia and bullying but also I have met good people and have had amazing matches.
Goodbye forever echo hopefully either echo vr 2 or lone echo 3 (or whatever project you have coming up) I hope it will like up to the ready at dawn standard.
Thank you, Echo. I simply loved everything about Echo. Whether it be engaging in an anti-gravity sport, or wanting to connect with other players. Echo VR is by far my favorite VR game ever. I find it very confusing on the reason why they need to shut it down…
But alas, if there is no more hope left for Echo to be reconsidered by Meta, then I just want to thank the developers who took the time and effort into making this game.
You may not know it, but Echo VR brought a lot of people together, even if it’s all through the eyes of a digital reality.
Many good memories. Some annoying, some competitive, but overall a great experience.
You really felt like what it was to be a part of a team sport and be competitive.
So all I can say at this point, 7 days before the game is removed, is a goodbye and thank you.

もしechoがなくなったら、もうVRはやらないかもしれない。僕はこのゲームが大好きで、このゲームでたくさんのいい人たちに出会った。初日にある人が親切に教えてくれたり、僕のゲームに良いフィードバックをくれたりしたんだけど、そのおかげで僕は多くの人に感動を与えることができた。このゲームで知り合った心優しい友人たちは、みんな僕のコミュニティーの人たちなんだ。でも、echoで知り合って、毎日顔を合わせるようになって、彼が引っ越したときはショックだった、 echoは閉鎖されるかもしれないし、それは認めたくないけど、僕と友達にできることじゃない、 でも、会社から新しいゲームが出るって聞いたんだ。オープンなままアップデートをしないなんて馬鹿げてる。良い、素晴らしい、素敵な、思いやりのあるコミュニティを削除するよりは、まだみんなのためになる。 このような場合、このような状況下でも、このような状況を維持することができるのであれば、このような状況を維持することができるのです。からね。ブレイロン To. メタ

If echo is gone I might not play vr agai. I loved this game so much I meet so many good people on this game. On my first day someone was so kind to teach me and to provide good feedback on my games and that got me really good able to impress a lot of people I have helped a couple of people to make sure his act of kindness lives on to person to person. I met all my good hearted friends on this game so are from my community I never really met them but when we found each other on echo and we got to know each other every day and when he moved I was devastated but then it wasn’t bad because echo was there for us and we never forgot each other, echo might get shut down and I don’t want to admit that but it isn’t what me and my friends can do so with these last few moments together before we never see each other again we will make the best out of it but we heard there is a new game on the way from the company, it is so stupid on how they can just keep it open and don’t update it, it will still be better for everyone then to delete a good, amazing, nice, thoughtful community then u are some bad people if y’all want to do this most people can’t accept that because this could have been how they got their first friends and a good not toxic community if y’all do this there will be a lot of people taking action into this. JUST KEEP IT OPEN AND DONT UPDATE IT OKAY SO IT WORKS OUT FOR EVERYONE SO U DONT HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE NEVER PLAYING META AGAIN THINK BEFORE U DO WHAT U ARE PLANNING JUST THINK OF THE COMMUNITY GIVE THEM A RIGHT TO SPEAK UP FOR THE GAME AND THINK OFF OF WHAT THEY SAY THERE ARE SO MANY VIDEOS ON THESE PEOPLE CRYING ABOUT U SHUTTING IT DOWN SO BEFORE U TAKE THESE PEOPLES LIVES AWAY THINK ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS.
Its simply the best. Its simply the best, Better than all the rest, Better than any game, Its stuck on our heart...
Its the best game in this universe.Very adictive and original multiplayer.Why close it? Only there are a few toxic players like the most games. Why is the real reason to shut down servers? Dont do this Zuckerverg,It will be your big mistake. Echo vr means meta.
Save Echo vr o I will kill mysef😑

最高!このゲームを買おう!今までプレイしたVRゲームの中で最高です。私がプレイしたどの有料ゲームよりもずっといい。このゲームを閉鎖することは、会社にとって最悪の決断だ。どうか閉鎖しないでほしい。他の人に譲る(もしくは売る)、オープンソースにする、アップデートをしない、サブスクリプションにする、アプリ内課金にする、壁に他のゲームの広告バナーを貼る、開発者を1人だけにする、上記のすべて!ただ、閉鎖だけはしないでほしい!私は二度とready at dawnから購入しません。他の多くの人もそうするでしょう。このようなレビューには参考になる印を付けてください。レディー・アット・ドーンに不満を持っている人がいることを示すために!もし閉鎖されたら、また再開するまで誰も購入しないはずです。エコーVRの嘆願書をグーグルで検索して、このゲームを救ってください!

The BEST!!! GET THIS GAME! It is the best VR game I have ever played. Way better than any paid game I have played. Shutting it down is the worst decision that the company could make. Please don't shut it down. Give it (or sell it) to somebody else, open source it, don't update it, make it a subscription, make in app purchases, banners advertising for other games on the walls, put only one developer in charge, all of the above! Just don't shut it down!! I will not purchase from ready at dawn again. Many other people will do the same.
Please mark reviews like this helpful. To show ready at dawn that people are Not happy with them at all! If they shut it down NOBODY should purchase from them until they open it again. Google search for Echo VR petition and save this game!!!!!
Don’t remove Echo VR :(. Do what you have to do and work on other projects.. but don’t remove one of the funnest games to play with large groups of ppl. Its not fair. To ppl who are fortunate enough to even own or receive an Oculus, but not fortunate enough to spend on too much in VR because of low income.
No. I just can't accept to lose another beautiful game again, this game is awesome and the people who've played it knows that. the community, the gamplay, the graphics, the originality, everything is awesome; but of course... Good things never last forever...
You drop Echo, I drop Meta. This is hands down the best game on VR, period. I understand that the game takes a lot of effort to maintain, but nothing worth having comes easy. Completely wiping this game off the face of the map is going to do you more harm than good. Scroll through the reviews, listen to your most loyal customers & community, and think about the repercussions of your decision to shut down the servers. This is leaving many kids, and adults alike, heartbroken. And this is just a game that doesn’t produce the numbers you’d currently like to see? No, this is much more than that. Think about the quality of members/community over the quantity - the outcome in the long term will greatly outweigh your short term goals. I challenge you to shift your views and do what’s best for the community rather than what’s best for your q3/4 EBITA. Your true performance over time is already dwindling as a result of decisions exactly like this. Do what’s right for the people who care the most and for your company as a whole. KEEP ECHO ALIVE. #fightforecho

R.I.P Echo Arena(エコー・アリーナ)。Echoは現在生命維持装置につながれているので、私はこのゲームに対する強く複雑な感情を表現することにします。Echoは、私がこれまでゲームをプレイした中で最も楽しく、没入感のある体験の一つでした。私の人生の中で、おそらく最も楽しい経験であり、これを超えるものはないと確信しています。確かにコンセプトはシンプルで、アリーナもロビーも1つしかなかったけれど、このゲームの素晴らしさは、シンプルなものを数年間も新鮮に保つことができる無限の可能性だった。私は、非常に身体的なVRゲーマーになりました。常に動き回らなければならないので、echoは完璧でした。私の不安障害だけでなく、他の人の不安障害にも効果があったと聞いています。体を動かすだけでなく、精神的にも良いものでした。ただし、このレビューの悪い部分に入るまでは。実際にサポートしてくれる人たちとパーティーを組んで、意図したとおりにチームでプレイできれば、仮想現実の中で最も楽しい。しかし、それは非常にまれなことで、ほとんどの場合、あらゆる面であなたを上回るだけでなく、その過程で感情的にあなたを引き裂くような人々(老いも若きも、ほとんどが若者)と一緒に試合に放り込まれることになります。私が関わったプレイヤーの約90%は、うるさく、不愉快で、生意気な小心者で、あなたの言動を些細なことでも屈辱のために利用しようとする人たちでした。 そして、彼らはあなたを辱め、ゴミのように思わせるでしょう。特に、彼らのほとんどは、実際に非常に熟練しており、私が少し年を取り始めたので、私よりも速い反射神経を持っているからです。アドレナリンとゲームの競争原理が原因であることは理解していますが、正直なところ、蔓延する毒性は、私にとってechoをほとんど破壊するものでした。とはいえ、間近に迫った中止の知らせを聞いたときは、やはりとてもショックでした。もうプレイできないだけでなく、これまで身につけたスキルや我慢してきた罵詈雑言がすべて無駄になるのですから、この上なく辛いです。しかし、どんな暗雲にも明るい兆しはある。もう、前に進むしかないのかもしれない。そんなわけで、私が言いたいのは、私の人生の暗い時期に仮想現実をよりリアルにしてくれたReady At Dawnに感謝するということだけです。

R.I.P Echo Arena. Since Echo is on life support at the moment I’m just gonna express my strongly complicated feelings for this game. Echo has been one of the most fun and immersive experiences I’ve ever had playing a game. Quite possibly ever in my life and I’m confident nothing is ever gonna top it. Sure it may be simple in concept and it only had one arena and one lobby to play around in, but the beauty of this game was the endless ways you can keep something simple so fresh for several years. I’ve become a very physical vr gamer. I need to move around constantly, which is what made echo so perfect. Not only did it help mine but other’s anxiety disorders as well from what I’ve heard. It was not only good for physical exercise but mentally as well. Except until when you get to the bad part of this review. When you’re able to party up with people who are actually supportive and play in a team as intended, it’s the most fun you’ll ever have in virtual reality hands down. But that is very rare, and you’ll mostly get thrown together in matches with people (young and old. Mostly young) who will not only better you in every way possible but will tear you down emotionally in the process. I would say about 90 percent of the players I’ve interacted with are loud, obnoxious, cocky little j*rks who will use every little thing you do and say against you for humiliation. And they will humiliate you and make you feel like trash. Especially because almost all of them are actually very skilled and have quicker reflexes than me since I’m starting to get a little older. I understand it’s most likely the adrenaline and competitive nature of the game but honestly the rampant toxicity is what almost destroyed echo for me. Having said all that, I was still very devastated when I heard of its impending cancellation. Not only will I not be able to play anymore but now all the skills I’ve acquired and verbal abuse I’ve endured have been all for nothing which hurts the most. But every dark cloud has a silver lining. Perhaps it’s just time to move on. So on that note All I want to say is thank you Ready At Dawn for making virtual reality that much more real in such a dark time in my life.
If Echo goes, I go. Echo VR is the best VR game, shutting it down will only hurt Meta and your community you’ve built over the years. To me and the Echo community, this is unacceptable and very hurtful. I recommend you guys reconsider before you lose a lot of fans. The memories this game brought me, the friends this game brought me, the EXCITEMENT this game brought me, it knows no bounds. Please Meta, PLEASE don’t do this. Listen to your consumes for once. #fightforecho
Please don’t. This game is all anyone could’ve wanted, in a sea of other generic vr games this one gave an experience only vr can give. It was fun, social, replayable, and family friendly, the game anyone and everyone could play together in vr. I’ve made so many friends, so many memories in this game, and so many new friends and memories that I still can make in this game that I just can’t see it go this soon. I know it won’t do much but please mark reviews just like this one as helpful and get them to the top, and maybe they’ll reconsider ending this game for good. I just don’t want to lose one of the best VR games of all time.
More than a game. Echo stopped being a game for me a long time ago I started with my mic off and a whole lot of questions never asking because I didn’t want to put myself out there until one day a sat on someone’s legs in game and only stunned them not saying a word they sent me an invite since that day over two years ago I have cried bled and yelled over echo, it has been a home for me when ever I’m down or not feeling like I want to, I have sat In the lobby talking to people about their lives and how this is an escape for them, an escape from abusive fathers and overbearing mothers, or even depression and alcoholism, I learned to be myself and that’s something I’ve never done before. I’ve met people that have taught me, people that have inspired me,and people that I would never have met in the first place, and all of these I consider them my friends now. Echo was never about throwing a disc for me it was getting on a game I knew well and hanging out with my alternative family, my echo family. And learning about its enviable shut down burns me to the core, I’ve spent so much time caring and loving this game and without a hestitation I would pay anything to always have this community, my family, so I can play more vrml more cookie games more random 4pm matches with one hand. This game has given me something I fully can’t express in words, it has been there everyday for a long time now and I may call it a game but this stopped being a game for me along time ago, this is my echo family.
I LOVE THIS GAME. sad it’s shutting down. This is an amazing game and i just started playing it a couple of weeks ago, only to find out that it is shutting down August 1st. I believe this is a horrible mistake because it is an amazing game and it dosent deserve to be shut down, i can guarantee this game is way better than whatever they are shutting it down for. This angers me so much because I LOVE this game!
I love Echo VR and many other players do. Some people have spent years on this awesome game, but it’s soon shutting down. Years of some people’s live put into this game, so much money put in for the awesome cosmetics and games, gone.
Please, don’t get it, because it’s so much fun, and the game will just stop, for all of us.
RAD, if you are seeing this, why? You are letting down thousands of players. We have been asking you to update the game for more great content, and you give the opposite. Can you not fund the game? Sell it to another company that can do better. I can guarantee that no one will play your stupid new games in the future because they will be nothing like Echo Arena. Go think about that.
In conclusion, this game is one of the best games on VR, it’s one of a kind, but it’s all going away because a company does not care about its player base. Thank you for your time.
Echo unit- Travis Williams. I personally love this game it is literally the only game I play on my VR headset. But earlier today I was banned. I would like to share the story of why I was reported. I was in a arena match and the game was very intense and there was a lot of amazing competition. But sadly there were a couple kids being racist and say several very obscene phrases and I was very disgusted but approached it nicely and formally because there was a kid of said race in the match and he was also getting upset. I told them that it’s just a game guys y’all need to stop saying that stuff it’s not nice and very hurtful I told them If they don’t stop that I will report them. Their response was go ahead and report us we will all report you and you will just get banned. I left the match and left it alone and went in to a new one. And played a few more until my headset died. I went to sleep woke up and got on my headset opened the echo vr app and it all seemed normal. Until I clicked play and then I got the you have been banned message. Now as a player who has only been playing since Christmas, I have fell in love with the game and play it for at least 10 hours a day… i know that’s a lot but I just love the game so much. I am 17 years old and graduated last year at 16. I work at Dairy Queen so I have quite a bit of free time and I choose to use it by playing this game. I did put an appeal in. I would really love to resolve this because I did nothing wrong and just wanna play. Please read my review and help me fix this so I can play this very well constructed game again. Sincerely, one of the good guys.
To the developers of Echo VR. First of all I bought this game and now my son will not have access to it….. He is an only child with no other kids around to play with. He has made so many friends on this game and what I’m really most upset about is him not able to play to stay active. He has lost so much weight because of how active this game makes him. I’m sure I’m not the only one out here that absolutely pissed that you have decided to get rid of it “to focus on other games” rest assure I will not buy another game from this developer if they continue to go in this direction.
Great GAME. I love this game because every time i go into a match i get face humped and this gets me so motivated that i demolish every 4 year old screaming toxic slurs. I also demolish the sweats who are always on the wall roleplaying as some sort of crippled spider man which is why i give this game a 5 star rating. 🤓👍
AMAZING, however…. This game is fantastic! I got it in early September and have been playing almost every day! I’ve had so much fun playing with my friends and the fact that it’s a free game is even more mind blowing! Only today, had I logged out and got an error message concerning a ‘login in failure’ and how it requires more prerequisites… It won’t let me play anymore and am confined to repeating the tutorial as many times as I please. I have been trying to sort it out with Meta Support but they couldn’t really do anything about it.
Amazing. Echo Vr is just one of the best of the best Vr game out there and plus it’s FREE Only bad thing is that if you don’t have space to play you will 💯% hit your hand and the controllers at least more then one time. So if you don’t have space to play in your room you should probably play in the living room. That’s it for my review.
