Just make sure you have a third job.
Seeing your actions accurately recreated with 0% latency and full freedom in a social space is the coolest thing about VR and what makes Pool Nation VR so fucking amazing. So far the in-game footage of this hasn't shown any of that. Worried they didn't do it right. I'm not even married to the idea that you should be able to walk around the ship as much as you want, but since they are trying to actually render full character models i'm worried they will lose a lot of the immersion. Animations with only 3 points of reference is really tough for full characters models in current VR.

Depending on the size of your glasses, it's actually not that bad at all. Took me a while to figure out a comfortable position, but once I did I pretty much forget about the glasses.
3D glasses are much smaller than a headset.

I mean, when you play videogames, don't you just sit and press buttons? Is this all that different?
I think it could be a lot of fun, but my wife isn't sold. It's probably just a polarizing type of game.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is also a button pressing simulator!

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
The graphics and gameplay looked pretty bad, but as a long time Star Trek fan, that video was fun to watch!

As someone with glasses and has a Rift, it's not as bad as you think.
However, I would highly recommend taking a look at VR Lens Lab. You send them your prescription and you get custom lenses made for VR headsets so you don't have to wear your actual glasses.
I don't know what to think about it. On one hand I have Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator in my wish list on steam for quite some time now ( biggest problem is that I don't see myself find more than 3 people to play with me, so I would still be missing 2 ). So a VR star trek game could be a nice alternative, but it's hard to say if each role will have even less to do compared to what Artemis offers, it felt like it.
Coming from ubisoft, the production value is really disapointing.

"Button pressing simulator" isnt a great criticism. Games where you primarily navigate menus can be interesting. Any Paradox game is basically a button pressing simulator.
The problem with this game is that it looks like the consoles provide less possible interactions than a Bop It toy.

I was commenting from the perspective of actually pressing buttons in VR. But who knows, with the right scenario it could be interesting and even challenging.

Sooo
Pretty much Artemis for VR?

I can definitely see this game not appealing to everyone.
I'm a big Star Trek fan and getting to roleplay as a member of the bridge crew of a starship sound incredibly fun to me but I have no interest in VR.
I don't see this game selling very well, it's mostly going to appeal to Star Trek fans who have a group of friends who all have VR. It's a pretty niche market.

It supposedly has a campaign of some sort, since the game is apparently about finding a new planet for the Vulcans after ST09, but since there's been near zero coverage about this game since E3, your guess is as good as mine as to how involved that is.

Think this is gonna be a problem for a lot of VR games, thinking the uniqueness of the experience is gonna justify full price of a regular game, even with less content overall. It might take as much of a cost to develop for sure, but honestly pricetags like that across the board would keep me out of VR, which is bad for everyone.

That might just be a place holder price. Especially as they are still using a place holder release date.
And on that subject, it's out Nov 29.

Here's a short IGN video with some gameplay footage and explanations of what's involved:

Main tidbits:
-Missions are 10 to 15 minutes long
-There is space combat (one mission Klingons confirmed)
-There's a campaign and free play mode (Ongoing Voyages)
-Playing the game gives you the ability to unlock more functionality for the bridge consoles
-There's matching making so you can play with friends or randoms

This has to be one of my most anticipated games. Probably cuz I'm finally watching TNG in full.
