Google Earth on the Vive

Tom|Nbk · 8 Oct 2017 at 22:01

I honestly have no words, this just stunned me, speechless.

One minute I'm at the Hollywood hills the next Tokyo.

Out of this world.

This thing is worth every penny, every single penny.

I agree, google earth is the most impressive thing i've tried so far on the rift as well.

Now that they've added (very basic, come on guys ... more of that!) street view support, oh yeah, amazing.

It's the game I usually finish on when demoing my Vive. It's great to wow people by letting them fly over their own house

My brother was not too impressed with VR until I showed him this. Then he finally got it

I think Google Earth and Vanishing Realms are the two titles that have blown everyone away in my Vive for the sheer immersion factor. Sadly nothing else released since has come close.

I guess it depends a bit what you're looking for. I love cockpit games, wouldn't want to use them without VR now really. VR is too immersive for that to go back to 2D.

Indeed, I think IL-2 is incredible, and PCars isn't too bad either.

But they're not VR games I'd throw sometime into for the first time to make an impression. I spend too much time having to explain complicated multi-buttoned wheel/hotas controls instead of just letting them dive in.

Google Earth VR would be so much better if they added gamepad support. Navigation using the vive things is tiresome.

I personally loved the Google Earth app, it was incredible
