Detached

Honestly I don't understand why this is a VR exclusive game. I love VR, but it just doesn't make any sense here. The game doesn't use the Index Controller's 6DOF tracking aside from the menus, and you can't even hold them properly because pressing the grips is used for rotating. I can't reach for objects with my hands to interact with them; it's just a matter of flying close and pressing A. You're much better off using a regular Xbox controller instead, and at that point there is really no reason why I shouldn't be able to play this on a regular monitor. And that's without even considering that this game is basically the endboss of motion sickness. I love playing in VR and I consider myself pretty resistant to motion sickness, but I'm not gonna touch this one again unless a non-VR update gets released. This propably would be a good game if it were a regular game with optional VR support instead.

It could have been a good game. The space flight physics (in realistic mode) could have been enjoyable. But they managed to utterly [i]ruin[/i] it with one basic oversight: controls. [list] [*]No support for vive-like controls on the Index controller since the explicit index controller update. [*]No ability to customise the bindings beyond a few presets. [*]No support for standard gamepads & joysticks. Other than the official XBox controller, that is. [/list] What where they [i]thinking[/i]? This is a space game with 6 degrees of freedom. Sure we’re piloting a space suit instead of a space ship, but it’s the exact same thing. And they pride themselves on being "hardcore", to the point of providing flight physics that are actually good! How come I can’t even control the game with the controllers I usually use for Elite Dangerous? And OK, I get it, implementing an in-game menu to let me customise my bindings can be a lot of work. But you know what’s not a lot of work? Supporting win32 controllers (ideally several at the same time, I have 2 joystics and a rudder pedal), and let players edit some binding configuration file (and for the love of what is holy, [i]tell[/i] s…

This was the VR game that made me realize I can't play these kinds of VR games. I can only play titles that support roomscale w/ locomotion so that my physical and in-game movements match. Otherwise *huuuuuurk* Don't get me wrong -- from the brief amount I was able to play, it seems like a great game. But the motion sickness I got from this was freaking VIOLENT and lasted for hours. If you don't get motion sickness easily, then yeah, give it a spin.

Control scheme is garbage. You can't grip the index controller or it rolls you, and you can't customize anything. I'm in the starting tutorial bay and already getting nagged by the game to hurry up. Shut up.

Really a great game if youre into zero gravity VR games. I also very much liked Lone Echo I and II, which are very similar.

Sticks are waaaay to sensitive for this kind of game.. need to use virtual joysticks similar to Space Docker to be able to control the game properly or use of HOSAS to enjoy it.. using the thumb sticks makes the controls way to sensitive and dificult to control..
