Hi all,

I look after the computer club at work, so I have the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive at home to look after when people aren't borrowing it.

What are peoples suggestions for great VR experiences. I like Beat Saber, Vanishing Realms, Project Cars 2, The Blue and other little demos. But I'm keen to see if anybody can suggest some essential VR games or experiences.

Cheers.
 
Eleven table tennis is fantastic if you're into sports games. DCS world is also amazing, but I found randomly flying around to be your best bet, as the instruments are too hard to read to play it hardcore.
 
Elite Dangerous, Il2 Sturmovik, Aircar (it's only a tech demo but very good) and all the above.
 
Hah, same thing in assetto corsa. After a race I stand up to stretch the legs a little and shimmy around in the pits admiring the car. Technically you could race standing up on the car, but it'd be hard on the stomach I think.:)

Derailed Valley anyway, operating a steam train for reals:o
 
Never played it in VR but always wanted to try Fallout 4 in VR.

If you're into Horror doesn't Outlast have a VR mode? Horror is a great fit for VR with the jump scares :eek:
 
Alien Isolation, if you can stomach it....makes me feel a bit sick. But I play loads of Project Cars 2 in VR and don't have a problem.

I can't even play that in a non-VR environment. I have the game, I love the Aliens films, and the game is so atmospheric but it scares the hell out of me. :-)

Project Cars 2 is great in VR. I have the wheels and pedals and love driving the single seater cars in races.

Can you still play it in VR? I played it when I had a DK2 and it scared the life out of me...first time it found me hiding in a locker and went for me I screamed like a girl and ripped the headset off and had to watch some Bob Ross for half an hour to calm down..

I also like crap games like sports scramble but only on the Quest so I can actually physically run.
 
A lot of Isolation talk, it's got nothing on Subnautica.

Ill fire it up every so often to remind myself how wonderful it looks and feels like in VR, but ill never go to the depths again. Never have I felt so vulnerable in a video game before, it was terrifying.

Resident Evil, AO, Aliens Marines, Layers of Fear, all fine.

Haha, totally this, the reef is beautiful. The reapers not so much...

I tried Fallout 4, but after an hour I had terrible motion sickness for the rest of the evening :(
