It helped me to ake my driving better in real life LOL. Want to try some horror game but do not know wich one to tryCorey Schaff said:
I could have sworn the go-to example of Oculus Rift game was Outlast, so you should probably try that one.
I will tell you my impressions after i will try horror VR game
Think it will be great))))
You have a good memory if you remember all of the details! Now you have a good chance to observe and compare the development of VR games! Next year will be really great, so many releases! Waiting so much! Want to try "Temple Run VR". I love the characters in this game!Corey Schaff said:
Yeah, I've got an Oculus Rift, so I've tried a lot of stuff.
Some of it works, some of it doesn't. (The DK1 is very limited on a hardware level. And it also turns out to be tricky to get the required framerates on anything but the best hardware. One surefire way to get very sick rather quickly is to run something in VR at 20 fps... I mean, 35 or 40 fps will probably still make you feel sick, in actuality.)
It's an interesting experience.
The Oculus demos, the razer hydra one. Several small games, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Train simulator 2015 (that is some flaky, broken implementation they have though).
Team Fortress 2, and half-life 2.
It does a great job at making you feel like you're there, but the UI always gets to be a problem.
Especially in the games that weren't designed with VR in mind, but had it tacked on after.
Euro Truck's menus are unreadable on a DK1. Same for half-life 2. And pretty much every other game where it's an optional extra, I've found, so far.
I do note that lack of control, and lack of tactile feedback undermine the experience quite a bit.
In the Oculus demo, I always felt compelled to touch stuff. In the basic demo, I didn't even have hands, so I'd instinctively move my arm, and nothing at all would happen.
With the Razer hydra as well, things got a lot better. It was clunky, but I could pick up, and move things, and it was fairly natural and intuitive, and matched with what you instinctively would do in an environment that kinda tricks your brain into thinking you're actually in it, rather than just looking at it on a screen.
But, still, when you reach out to a wall, and feel... Nothing, the illusion does break a little.
So there's a long way to go yet, and much of it has to do with the sense of touch, rather than being able to see the world.

Nope. I am not so sure if I want to try out the Occultus Rift since the double image thing looks weird.
