I have to agree that the mechwarrior games see optimal for VR. You're seated in a moving construct so the various problems with vertigo/nausea should be lessened by movement in VR.

 

[Doctor Rob]

Portal would be cool I think. Need more! (heck could already be one for VR as I have not checked.

 

[WFang]

The old Wing Commander series, the low graphics make it well suited for current gen VR rigs, and the fact it is a seated cockpit experience makes it work really well I would think.

 

[M_Sketch]

Definitely Star Wars Lego games
-Clone wars
-full series
-etc

 

[rtware923]

No Mans Sky would have made for a great multiplayer VR game. However it fell very short of a game at all.

 

[FPGA68k]

I think Worms3D would only make sense in VR. In VR it is much more fun to hold a huge big bazooka or throw a sheep. You could better guess the distance. Also Worms involves only little movement and therefor less nausea. So I hope Team17 will work on WormsVR anytime soon.

Too Easy: TRON 2.0

Old_Newbie remembers playing TRON 2.0 on PC. It was one of the first multiplayer PC games I was able to play over the internet with my brother.

I think TRON 2.0 would be a perfect VR port; not only in a VR multiplayer co-op story mode, but also as a bunch of mini-game VR challenges from our favorite TRON "Games of the Grid": light cycles, disc throwing, tank battles, etc. My imagination is running wild with how well these could work in VR. Did I mention Light cycles?

Current VR capability would be able to handle this perfectly with Vive controllers, as well as the new Touch controllers (Just imagine grabbing, throwing, and blocking with your information disc). The graphical detail wouldn't have to be all that complex to represent "the Grid" either, ensuring easily attained smooth frame rates for uninterrupted presence.

This would be a porting opportunity goldmine. Just my $.02


VR Light Cycles!.. just in case you missed it.

"What multiplayer franchise needs to be ported to VR?"

I think the multiplayer game I'd be most likely to play in VR is World of Warcraft. It's really the only multiplayer game I play still. The model design is low poly enough that they should be able to hit the frame rate requirements for comfortable VR. If Blizzard ever adds Vive support I'll definitely give it a go =)

 

[newtowatercooling]

What multiplayer franchise needs to be ported over to VR?

MechWarrior or WORS world of war ships

 

[Baelzaden]

Blizzard's Overwatch. It would be great to play the fast paced shooter with VR.

 

[xFeaRDom]

Not really into VR exactly, but one thing that would probably make me interested in looking into it, would be if Skyrim or the Far Cry series was implemented into VR. Although Skyrim doesn't have a Multiplayer installation, just a mod, it would make it so much fun to play Skyrim in VR, and Far Cry being similar game-wise (Exploration and killing enemies) then it would be an insane amount of fun, especially on the hardest settings.

And with Ultra graphics on both of these games, even if the VR was in 2K or 4K, it would make it even more insane if your GPU lives up to the standards of that.

Honestly not sure if it would even be possible, or if it would cause countless episodes of people throwing up, but the Portal Franchise would be nice to have on VR.

 

[ElCametron]

Absolutely impossible until Nintendo joins the VR race but I would love to see smash bros in VR. Combat and movement might be tricky to implement but a guy can dream.

Pokemon Stadium in VR would be bloody incredible too, let's be honest.

 

[Jester Maroc]

I think the Total War franchise would be a fantastic VR port. Think about sitting on the battlefield as a general and organizing the battle from horseback in VR! If they can code gesture controls which will allow arm signals to issue all the basic commands I believe it can be a very successful port.

BTW Toms, I do not need the prize as I do not have VR and will not get it anytime soon.

 

[noob fodder]

I think something like World of Tanks would be fantastic, or a vehicles-only version of Battlefield.

 

[kickstand]

I think Unreal Tournament would be great in VR.

 

[Gadhar]

I would like to see War Thunder and World of Warcraft would be the two I would like to see. I would love sim battles on WT in VR

 

[Wuznar]

I'd love to see VR added to Guild Wars 2. Adventuring across a huge world with your friends in that fashion would be a blast! Personally I think all MMOs should have a VR option.

 

[spadam_2000]

I would enjoy seeing MechWarrior Online and 7 Days to Die having VR support.

 

[crabnova]

Evolve - Be the monster in VR!
Left4Dead - There needs to be more multiplayer co-op

 

[koehlerd]

Descent or Descent Freespace. Just don't eat anything before playing in VR Actually, what I would really like to see in VR would be a Star Trek game, where multiple people play the role of the original cast on the bridge or the Enterprise, in VR, and go on missions. That would be awesome. I don't know if there ever was a multiplayer game like that, though.

 

[M for Moartea]

Assassin's Creed. Think of the in-game Animus system, reliving a memory inside the game's virtual reality machine. VR inside VR. That's something to blow your mind.

 

[grummit]

Going old school: Warlords
New school: Fallout

 

[Mike Neely]

overwatch

 

[tsnor]

Total Annihilation. (But portal would be cool too)
