Sounds like this is the best VR game out there right now.

Yep.

 

[TetraGenesis]

I'm so incredibly pumped that this turned out so well.

I really, really, really wanted it to be an experience on the level of Rocket League and it sounds like it could be!

That surprises me. Did people have the same problem with the oculus version?

Yeah it really is starting to sound like it's going to be PSVRs Rocket League!

Nothing like a solid 8 out of 10 to get people excited about $500 in new hardware.

I'm just happy Cambridge delivered again. Those folks are doing some great work on Sony's smaller platforms.

One of Sony's best 1st Party studios. So underrated

 

[Z3M0G]

23 min of gameplay. Only minutes old.

Eve was free with the rift and I still think I paid too much for it!!

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

"Even Jim likes it." Should be on the box.

Only thing that tops that is "Even Yatzee didn't shit on it."

 

[Åesop]

Preorder confirmed

 

[Kaako]

Well that pretty much seals the deal. Well done, Guerrilla Cambridge.

 

[J-Skee]

Really hope I can get a VR unit before the end of the year. Had a good feeling about this game before. Good to see it's worth it.

Why does that guy wearing the psvr look like Sean Murray? Is that where he's hiding?

 

[tr00per]

There's a single player campaign where you rise in ranks and unlock new Mecha and stuff.

Awesome. With Driveclub on hold for me until I get to try it I think this will be my first vr purchase

 

[BillyJack]

GG Cambridge and really just GG in general now are incredible developers. Monumental feat pulling this off.

 

[CrayToes]

Not surprised by the positive reaction in the slightest. Guerilla Cambridge are a talented ass studio.

 

[Bubble Walrus]

Can't deny that this looks like something I've always imagined being able to play... Must resist ordering PSVR... If I can just survive the launch hype!!

 

[wapplew]

Please tell me head tracking aiming is better than right analog stick.

 

[Elandyll]

If I could afford VR atm, one of the very few, if any, MP titles I would find attractive.

Wonder if it could become the Rocket League of VR...

 

[The Elite]

Eve was free with the rift and I still think I paid too much for it!!

Eve is great. They have improved it a lot. It probably helps that I'm great at it without even trying.

 

[Gaz_RB]

It's a procedurally generated space-exploration mech sim.

Wrong PSVR mech game.

 

[Ghazi]

This seems heavily inspired by the Titans in Titanfall.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Please tell me head tracking aiming is better than right analog stick.

From all the gameplay commentary that i've seen everyone seems to agree that head tracking aiming is how you must play. Takes getting used to (of course) but it's a much better experience than using the right stick.

 

[TimeEffect]

So is this simple with surprising depth like Rocket League?

I think making it VR exclusive is a mistake if they want the MP to flourish.

1). Yes. Very much seems like it. Tons of depth with multiple Rigs and sub classes and diverting power to one of 3 systems on the fly as well as the sport mechanic and deathmatch mechanic going on at the same time.

2). I'm not sure this would work on a TV/monitor. A large part of Rigs is the presence, head tracking aiming etc.

 

[PseudoViper]

I've been following this game for a while now. I really wanna get it, but i don't think imma hop aboard the VR train right now

I don't think having VR vs Non-VR players in the same game would be fair. So having a non VR version wouldn't really help keep the VR community afloat.

Yeah it's a VR game. No need for a standard game... nor would it "work" as well. Rigs is made from the ground up to be VR. We all have plenty of other FPSs to play outside of VR.

1. Find the settings that work for you

RIGS Mechanized Combat League offers a comprehensive tutorial that is designed to slowly introduce you to the mechanics and controls before getting into your first match. The game also includes a VR Comfort Settings menu, which will let you choose between using Head Turning or Stick Turning, as well as toggling the dynamic Visor Mask. Lower screen brightness can also lead to a more comfortable play experience for some players. Experiment with the various options at your disposal and find the configuration you enjoy the most!

Eh?

 

[JCX]

Glad reviews are good, it's my most anticipated game. So close to playing it!

 

[Broadbandito]

MY VR IS READY

 

[Toki767]

Head tracking for aiming is really special with this game from what I played at PSX.

 

[farisr]

Sony's rule was that every game after September needs to support the Pro so every VR game should.

Well we know that rule is out the window since Driveclub VR is not getting a patch. Possibly teh requirement has shifted dates to November 10th onwards (if the FAQ is anything to go by), or the requirement may not even be there at all anymore, or doesn't apply to VR games or something.

Edit: Or not: We haven't harnessed the full power of the PS4 Pro, but there will be a few more visual details enabled.

Not the same situation at all.

If regular Driveclub was not going to get a pro upgrade it then why would VR get it?

 

[Metal Khaos]

Good to hear. Was on the fence due to the $60 tag on it and all the other games coming out at the same time. I'll try the demo first to see if there's any motion sickness issues before picking it up.

We'll see soon enough, but maybe Sony treats DriveClub VR as an add on internally?

Plus there is no team to work on it anymore.

IT may be a special case.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Pretty decent scores.
Slightly off topic, but what's the highest rated VR title for any platform?

 

[Ellite25]

Guess I'll be buying this as I was just waiting on reviews. Can we preload?

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

This is the only VR game I'd actually want to play. Because it's actually a game, not a glorified tech demo.

the hottest take

 

[Whompa02]

Damn I want this.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

There are a few good, full games.

Battlezone, Thumper, DriveClub, Eve, 100ft RoboGolf, Tumble, Rez etc.

 

[Elandyll]

If that setting also is in Battlezone, that would explain why someone on Gaf was claiming it does not have head tracking in spite of video evidence that Battlezone does have head tracking.

 

[Tain]

lmao at the thought of someone playing through 20 hours of Chronos and then somehow calling it a "glorified tech demo".

You haven't been following VR closely, it's fine to admit it.

[Illucio]

So this + thumper.

What else? I'm still hoping for Skyrim VR or less likely No Man's Sky.
