Unreal Editor in VR - Official megathread

Worked fine for me on the HTC Vive when I tested it out a few days ago. Graphics looked the same as my DK2, just less screen door effect obviously which makes the text much more legible. I actually found it quite enjoyable with the room scale to be able to get up and walk around in the ship, not that there is a whole lot in there at the moment apart from some hidden displays and things in the back but could make things interesting once the co-pilot update comes along. Elite Dangerous is a hell of a lot better with Virtual Reality than multiple monitors. Just being able to use your head to follow around an enemy is great and makes a big difference to your play style. I find the same with racing games, I can get better times because I can actually look around corners as I would properly driving.

No official support yeah but I can’t imagine it would be too far away.

What I meant was that there is no current “made for VR” game that you keep going back in to play.

Project Cars and Elite Dangerous were both designed as standalone games, VR was just added in later. All of the remaining launch titles aside from the Eve Valkrie game don’t have a tonne of replay value.

I have found in a room with a few friends that fantastic contraption is a hell of a lot of fun, but it’s not a game I would really play on my own for too long. Pretty much the same story with most of them. Good fun to take turns with and share with friends but nothing I would put myself into long term.

If ED came out with controls that used the head tracking better and utilized the vive wands then I would definitely spend a lot more time in it, but going back to playing VR games with a gamepad after motion controls has just completely lost it’s appeal to me

Just out of interest… you’re running something faster than 970 GTX eh? 980Ti or ATI?
