Man, brings me back to my childhood. It's still disappointing to me that there hasn't been a game in the x wing/tie fighter mold - for me it would be a killer app for vr.

  I had high hopes but it's just not quite there.

How about FS2Open? Fantastic series of games, even more fantastic engine. Someone should get on VR support, would be a good Elite:Dangerous competitor.

  FS2Open "Getting Started": http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Getting_started http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Getting_started Demo of the associated kickstarted game "Overload": http://playoverload.com/playable-teaser/ http://playoverload.com/playable-teaser/ Copied from that link: The teaser includes VR support for the Oculus Rift only. The final launch of Overload will support other VR devices. Apparently newer Overload demos include eye tracking support: https://youtu.be/jcXWpL9CMps https://youtu.be/jcXWpL9CMps Descent: Underground Early Access claims VR support and is $15 (50% off) on Steam right now: http://store.steampowered.com/app/360950 http://store.steampowered.com/app/360950 Reviews say there's not much there yet though.

  I got E:D and FS2 for Christmas and I'm spending all of my time with FS2. Single Player is great and even with crazy settings it runs great.

I would highly recommend the VR demo that you can download for free if you have Battlefront and Playstation VR. Played on it at a friend's over Christmas and was absolutely blown away. The resolution isn't awesome but it's so well done: there's literally no perceptible lag when you look around so it's a much more immersive experience than, for example, demos I've played on the Oculus Rift. Went home and immediately ordered a PS4 Pro and Playstation VR on the strength of it. Wondering how hard it would be to start hacking around with it. Honestly, I haven't been blown away that much by a game since I the first time I played Doom way back in 1994.

  I've had great moments with VR, but realize that in the end its just a tech demo and feels rather shallow. There's nothing I can see myself spending more than a few days with. Give me a team star wars game with mission objectives and voice chat for your squadron and for me, the future will have arrived.
