I just got a VR unit, and a nigh-omnipotent PC to run it. So lately, it's been alot of VR stuff for me. Still getting used to it.
But there's one game that's the core of the experience for me:
That's New Retro Arcade: Neon. All of those machines are fully active. Attract modes and all. All are interactive... I can walk (teleport) to any one of them, stand in front of it, and play it. Or I can wander the arcade, mess with other types of machines (Skee-ball, anyone?) or just pick things up and fling them around. There's a room for console games, there's Gameboys... and what really gets me is just how freaking GOOD it looks when in VR. These arcade cabinets are as close to the real thing as you can get. The only problem is that setup is tough for this program... I have to provide the roms myself. Good thing I have thousands of them... And there's quite a bit more than just feeding it roms that needs to be done for them to fully function. But when it's up and running.... it's superb.
VR has been a fantastic experience so far. Well, mostly. I'm using an Oculus Rift, and sometimes it can get a little... weird. My room is NOT meant for this kind of thing, being 99% bed, so the setup in here can make things screwy with the sensors and whatnot... they clearly dont like it. So every now and then something will get funky, like the world might suddenly tilt to the right for about half a second, that sort of thing. Doesnt happen often, but it IS still annoying when it does. And it's clear that I really need a third sensor.
But yeah, it's great fun. Heck, I could get lost just messing around with Google Earth... that by itself is amazing. Also, it gets me out of my chair and moving around alot more, so that's good. Sort of. Standing-room only right now. At least until I move this whole mess into the basement.
The main issue is getting used to it... I gotta be careful about that. Dont want to get my neck or wrists all screwed up. And I'm not really used to wearing things on my head. When used in moderation though.... fairly short sessions, and not too wild... boy is it alot of fun.
