VR works best for stuff like racers, or mech games.. where the paradigm is that you are controlling a machine.

Games where you are controlling "yourself" are a lot harder to feel natural.

Perfect oportunity to make wheelchair users the standard protagonists for FPS VR

yes, it's awesome

The funny thing about VR racing games is that you drive much, much better in VR. I easily shaved 10+ seconds of my PB times in Dirt Rally 2 once I started to use VR.

I assume it raises your situational awareness. After all it improves your depth perception and looking to the sides feels more natural

Grip feels a lot better to me than Distance. But generally most racing games with a controller don’t feel as natural to me. But some are way better than others.

Yes situational awareness goes through the roof as well as FOV and the ability to move your head as needed. Drifting becomes so much easier, I can look right out the window naturally vs kinda guessing what your apex looks like.

I think scale also helps. Even on a 70+inch TV screen, it looks tiny compared to VR.

Horizon 3 in VR would be Puke Simulator 2017.

Spoiler

At least with my driving style

You can only puke so much, just keep driving til you're empty and then you can drive as long as you want.

Pro-tip: do a lap in reverse to speed up the process.

My experience playing Driveclub VR tells me:

- Get a sturdy seating position while playing and use racing wheel.
reason: you end up 'falling' out of the car if your head/body moves too far away from the original seating position, it's weird playing with a DS4 and the motion controls are shit.

- The visuals in DCVR are such a step down that it literally feels like we're back to PS3 or even late PS2 graphics. Totally kills the immersion.

I haven't played any high fidelity VR games yet (only had a short spell with PSVR before selling it on eBay due to lack of games)

Yeah DCVR was during the growing pains years of psvr. Dirt Rally and Wipeout are far superior, but pcvr is at least 2 full generations ahead of that even.

so PSVR2 + Wheel? for a full feature combo?

Perhaps. I don’t use consoles for my setup as I have a mix of usb devices that don’t work on console. Maybe something like a fanatec set that has ps4 support that has things like a handbrake, shifter etc that connect directly to it.

OK I am hooked and won't race without VR if possible anymore. I just dropped 1 minute off my PB on the track i've been working on!

I started a snow/ice level and at some point I saw sparks, decided to take a look to see what it was, turned out I was about to role play Ace Ventura for the rest of the track.

Psvr is horrifically blurry, but it still sells the illusion perfectly fine, going from psvr to a rift s on a high end pc, is night and day, its the next gen step, like you said, going from a ps2 game to a ps3+. Gfx aren't close to ps4 levels quite yet, alyx is very close, dlss 2.0 in vr will help that a long tho, just gotta wait for the games to support it

Really? I haven't seen it in VR but from the videos on Youtube it certainly looks up there with a lot of PS4 titles. I thought it looked next-gen almost.

I personally loved DCVR, I almost didn't give it a chance because I didn't like the original (the controls felt too stiff for my tastes). 60fps and being actually inside those super cars made it up for the graphics downgrade tenfold in my case.

How is Driveclub in VR?

Real question being, how can a 30fps game become playable in VR?

It's blurrier than the other racing games.

The best PSVR racing game is Dirt IMO. Amazing.

Took a dive into Assetto Corsa. Messing with GT3 and Formula Cars. Very awesome in VR.

Wipeout VR is an amusement park ride in your home.

 

[fran.fernandez]

as amazed im with vre i dont play it for 2/3 months.

the setup just kill me

 

[Shmunter]

Racing in VR is transformative. Played more Driveclub in VR than all the flat ones combined.

 

[John2290]

Same for me, even with the steering wheel it just doesn't do it. Problem is, I'm on PSVR so jokes on me. I was getting away with kart racers along with real arcade style stuff and then Wipeout got its VR patch, eh, at least it saves some money.

They trimmed the gfx effects and its 60 in vr - interpolated to 120
