VR - RecRoom

[Irving]

Did anyone play RecRoom on PS4VR or Oculus Rift?

I have the PS4 VR. I'm not much of a gamer, but I really enjoy it. I like Rec Room because it has paintball, Lazer tag, and a few quests. The quests are like mini dungeon raids with up to four people. Two are bows and arrows and swords and shields. One is only swords and shields. The last one is guns.

Like working through a dungeon, there is spawning and aggro, but from all directions. It's nothing as complex as a big game, and no classes or Mana, but fun none the less.

Motion sickness is worked around by teleporting everywhere. You can select to have smooth moving, but it's awkward and really amps up the motion sickness.

Arizona Sunshine is a pretty decent zombie game, but I have trouble with only using the move controllers and being able to move quickly. There is another controller that lets you use two handed guns and move with a joystick.

Oh yeah, RecRoom it's multi platform so you can be playing with someone using an OcculusRift while you're on PS4.

Sounds fun. I'll download it when I'm back in town next week.

You don't rely have a desire to walk as much as you'd think. I've dropped the controllers on the floor because I thought I was setting stuff on the table that is only in game. I've also fallen over when I was taking cover behind an in game wall and trying to lean against it.

The teleportation doesn't take you out like you'd think it would. Your brain is great at adapting, and often times you're covering distance that is far enough that you'd rather teleport anyway. You can get off to the side of turned around when you're making small movements when reaching around car doors or leaving around walls.

That reminds me, I still need to get my Vive sent in for a repair :P But VR gaming is pretty sweet. Still not a whole heck of a lot for it, but more and more's coming out. I think once more people look beyond gaming, it'll really take off (for instance, realtor offering virtual tours of houses around the country, from just their one office).

At the moment I just have Vive, but if Ace Combat 7 ever comes out, I may spring for a PS4 and set for that :P
