Looking at the recent titles being added into the PS VR portfolio like Rigs and GT Sport I've come to realize that VR may have potential in breaking into the consumer market.... On that note I game that would be rad for VR is WipEout. I mean it sells itself... Cockpit view racing with VR.... Accelerating speeds and lots of tracks.

Need I say more?

Want to more convincing? Here is the game running on a Oculus DK2

Who else think this is a no brainier.

Wipeout 2098 VR

 

[GavinGT]

The reason that video is only 6 minutes long is that the guy threw up directly after.

 

[Acquiescence]

Make Rollcage VR first please, so that I can projectile vomit while driving upside down in tunnels.

 

[wrowa]

There are dozens of you! Dozens!

 

[kadotsu]

I don't know if any Sony studio that has the SCEEL style. I'll keep playing HD Fury and continue to hope for a 60FPS 2048.

Pre-order bonus is a free bucket?

 

[TimmiT]

As much as I love WipEout and want a new game in a series, I think that I'd vomit everywhere if I'd play a WipEout VR game.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

The reason there's no more Wipeout is because they do actually like money.

 

[EvB]

Hey Sony, do you like Money?

Well don't make this game that you've tried making on several occasions for an install base of millions for a VR headset with an install base of not millions.

 

[eFKac]

I think Sony likes not losing money, and that's why we are not really seeing Wipeout anymore.

Spoiler

and good riddance

 

[TheRealTalker]

There are dozens of you! Dozens!

with cash in a wallets!

I can also see this making new WipEout fans

nah sayers

this can work maybe.... it can be WipEouts calling

WipEout was ahead if its time and now we have the technology... we need to try

 

[MurkyZebra2417]

Zone mode in VR, guranteed weight loss.

 

[robotrock]

doing a barrel roll in VR sounds horrible

 

[EthanC]

The reason there isn't a new Wipeout is because Sony likes money.

 

[BassForever]

I vomitted just thinking about wipeout vr and I don't even get motion sickness

 

[NoFoX]

 

[TheRealTalker]

also I have faith in Sony in finding ways to address motion sickness

WipEout is fast I agree but smooth fps and pixel quality can help it

people fling around in Rigs and I can see good speed occurring for GT Sport

 

[FranXico]

Dear Sony, do you like Money? Then please make a new WipEout

Fixed that you, OP. You're welcome.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Remember when they had to tone down the music visualiser strobing on Anulpha Pass?

 

[DieH@rd]

When you are at it Sony, also create Colony Wars and G-Police sequels for PSVR.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Fixed that you, OP. You're welcome.

I would like a new WipEout but I am strategically showing a business opportunity in order to appease to them

 

[FelipeMGM]

Well, my bet is that Firesprite Games is making a Wipeout VR.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Just re release the one from ps3

 

[krang]

WipeOut VE

Spoiler

Vomit Edition

Would be great, though. For like 30 seconds.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Well, my bet is that Firesprite Games is making a Wipeout VR.

I would hope so

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

[nbnt]

No offense but whenever I read something from a Wipeout or F-Zero fan all I can think of is

 

[2blackcats]

Is the vomit thing a joke or do people really think that they would feel ill? Driveclub is fucking fast and there were no problems with the VR demo. Racing games should be one of the easier genres to pull off in VR.

 

[FelipeMGM]

I would hope so

Makes sense right? They are ex Studio Liverpool devs and have helped Japan Studio with the Playroom and maybe they had a hand in Playroom VR as well. Sony is know for making deals with ex devs of theirs. Too bad they are not confirmed for PSX

 

[Nerdkiller]

Just re release the one from ps3

I'd add whatever remaining tracks from the PSP games into the re-release if the prospect of VR isn't enough. Call it WipEout VR Fury Plus or something...ehhh. Maybe modified versions of the 2048 tracks as well.

 

[TheRealTalker]

it would be perfect for them to do it
having more VR titles would be better for the platform

 

[RealityCheque]

I've heard that the better VR experiences are ones that don't focus on speed of movement, apparently thats a one way ticket to barf town. Can anyone with first hand experience confirm this?

Not sure that wipeout is a good choice. Just give me a super hot this-gen version instead.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

I was waiting for the first "because it's not a relevant franchise in today's gaming market even though indie equivalents prove otherwise" post but this is close enough

 

[EventHorizon]

Is this close enough? Trackmania Turbo Will Support PlayStation VR in 2016

 

[DieH@rd]

I've heard that the better VR experiences are ones that don't focus on speed of movement, apparently thats a one way ticket to barf town. Can anyone with first hand experience confirm this?

Actually no. Fast movement straight ahead is good, our brans are used to it. There are tons of arcade racing games [in vein on F-Zero and endless runners] that work great in VR.

Forced camera rotation and strafing are bad for brain in VR. [strafing in cockpit games is fine, because we can see in VR that we are sitting in cockpit and that the vehicle itself is doing the strafing]

 

[valkillmore]

Fucking co-signed

 

[TheRealTalker]

game looks cool but I want I WipEuout to be my WipEout

nothing less

Fucking co-signed

we hope together bro

 

[faridmon]

The probably wouldn't do it, because they like money.

Most directional movement starts to have a lot of negative effects on a lot of people I've witnessed demo the units. The worst one I've seen where almost every person had issues was the space flight game from the eve online guys. Trashcans were kept beside you at all times.

 

[Hugstable]

I don't know how I'd feel about a Wipeout game not done by Psygnosis

They should just port Wipeout HD to PS4 with the 2048 content as well

 

[FriedConsole]

Just the thought of it is making me motion sick.

Nobody even wanted it in 3D.

 

[Haunted]

The only thing coming to mind are the distorted faces of people in zentrifugal chambers/wind tunnels.

 

[Newline]

Just the thought of it is making me motion sick.

Nobody even wanted it in 3D.

I mean if the refresh rate is high enough and the head tracking is fine, then surely it shouldn't be any more vomit inducing than the regular versions.

 

[2blackcats]

Is this close enough? Trackmania Turbo Will Support PlayStation VR in 2016

Not the same but great news none the less. Love me some trackmania.

 

[Seventy70]

I really like Wipeout. If they made a new one though, I would want it to be without VR since it would probably end up being a bad Wipeout game with a gimmick attached to it.

 

[Regiruler]

I mean if the refresh rate is high enough and the head tracking is fine, then surely it shouldn't be any more vomit inducing than the regular versions.

At a certain point the problem is not insufficient FPS, but rather the disconnect between what the body percieves through different senses. Given that the aim of VR is to make it more immersive, it just makes it all the more jarring to the body's sensation that it's just staying still, even though the visual and auditory senses say otherwise.

I could be talking out of my ass though.

Maybe some people wanna pay to get motion sick and throw up? I mean it's not that different from a roller coaster. People love those.

 

[Blackage]

Wipeout always came across to me as the poor man's F-Zero, and considering how Nintendo treats F-Zero. -_-

Disclaimer: I'd play the hell out of some F-Zero VR.

 

[Fancy Clown]

Wipeout on PS4 would be GLORIOUS
