Fancy Skiing 2: Online

Well, it is sort of skiing. I tried fancy skiing 1 awhile back when it was the only skiing option. I'm a developer and our team was evaluting the state of indie games at the time. Frankly, I was pretty shocked at what was considered 'acceptable'. The graphics are poor and the movement takes its toll pretty quick. I could play it for one or two runs before feeling some nausa - despite having developed decent 'VR legs'. others may vary. This game could benefit by having some IK (player can see his/her own body) rather than looking down and just seeing a pair of slats on the ground (not even ski models, just a png in the shape of a ski - no boots, bindings, anything). the left/right movement is extremely un-natural when standing still - that you can slide sideways with no resistance, I would suggest allowing the turning to increase as the player moves faster. Imagine a car sitting still but when you turned the wheel it just slid sideways. steering on vehicle games engage when the vehicle moves forward. This game has none of that. Now perhaps they tried rotating the player when 'steering' and that made the vomit factor even higher, but it is an option that should exist. I never found o…

Take everything good from the first one, and remove it. Take everything bad from the first one, and 10x. And there you have it, this game.

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] I was one of the people who could actually get Fancy Skiing 1 to work (lots of bugs with Touch being recognized though) on the Oculus Rift with Touch controllers, but I was happy to see Fancy Skiing 2 and their stated future support for Oculus. [u]I can confirm this time around that everything works fine out of the box.[/u] So if you missed out on Fancy Skiing 1 and have been hoping for Oculus support, then go ahead and purchase. However, be warned, this game really isn't much different than Fancy Skiing 1. They look pretty similar to me. There are some differences. The biggest difference is the menu area and the fact that there are 3 game modes. You have an endless mode: ski for as long as you can. You have an online mode: ski against online player (LOL yeah right, you'll be skiing against bots). And you have a jump mode: yeah you do lots of jumps off of ski ramps along the path. Unfortunately, just like Fancy Skiing 1, you'll find yourself jumping a lot randomly for no apparent reason. Supposedly, you hit trigger to jump but it seems almost anything casued a jump. I think if I stayed crouched down and kept the gr…

wow! Skiing! it's really cool!

No multiplayer!

A glorious sequel! As a fan of original Fancy Skiing I can say that the sequel fulfills my expectations.
