What about Elite Dangerous ? Anyone played ? I heard it was real good on VR.
- spywaregorilla 5y agoHaven't played it but at a glance its a cockpit game for VR. So again, no moving, no local physics interactions that the players hands have to deal with. Looks pretty cool. But when people think vr, and they look at the movies, they're thinking about games where you are a person in a place that feels alive.
- tomc1985 5y agoFunny enough, they just added a whole bunch of FPS style content, and it is locked out of VR last I checked.
- ehnto 5y agoThen they're kind of mistaken I guess. Even in something like Ready Player One, that is simply not how the VR tech would actually work. Haptic suits, running treadmills, full body tracking and VR headsets all exist. They do not feel the way they're portrayed in scifi, and never will.
- shadowgovt 5y agoAs a seated experience (in a spaceship, where my Star Trek fantasy training has taught my brain, oddly enough, that motion in space should involve no feeling the acceleration forces), it's really quite good. Night-and-day from the same experience mouse-and-keyboard or HOTAS. The game itself, sadly, doesn't hold my attention for very long, but I think the VR UI is nearly ideal for it.
- munk-a 5y agoElite Dangerous VR almost requires something like Voice Attack but if you set it up like that I think it's immensely immersive - I've always had issues with the gameplay itself though so it's still not completely my cup of tea. I personally want a space freighter game where I'm drifting between breaktaking vistas - or an exploration game where I'm probing the edges of civilization - Elite Dangerous allows both of these to an extent, but it's strongly focused on dog fighting mechanically.
