Hopefully F1 2016 will get a similar VR patch. \o/

Will this work on the Vive directly, or with ReVive? HTC has put me off with their terrible support, but I'm not looking to get a Rift unless they solve the touch controller occlusion problem, maybe with a 4-camera setup.

Formula cars in Project Cars VR are already amazing. That would be incredible.
I can't imagine not seeing VR implemented in most VR games going forward. Might how to wait for the next F1 installment though.

Yeah I also don't see how you'd make a VR game without VR being implemented in the game.

Jokes aside, racing games are an obvious early target for VR, because the games don't have to be modified much to provide a really compelling VR experience.

As for F1, I guess it depends what deals they're involved in on the console side. Microsoft might not be happy about stuff going VR when all they have is a $3000 AR devkit.

It's been a long week. I meant racing games, but I think you got that.


Microsoft isn't worried. I tried Hololens for the first time yesterday and got a taste of what's to come. In a couple years when they can bring the price down, it will be amazing.

dirt rally may be my favorite game of all time, I was going to skip vr the same way i did 3d but this is far to enticing
