About Racket Fury: Table Tennis VR
After an all-out war that took almost 2 millennia and claimed many lives of the Zen - Racket Fury Tournament emerged as the remedy to maintain peace in the Crown Galaxy. A fast-paced, strategic game that became an interplanetary phenomenon, bringing all the Zen together. As an aspiring Zen, you are challenged to join the most prestigious team that dominated the entire competition - the Division of Steel. Are you up for the challenge?
****If you use another headset then Vive or Rift - please make sure you have configured SteamVR controller binding for the game. ****
TWO MODES TO CHOOSE FROM - FULL SIMULATION AND ARCADE MODE:
Decide for yourself whether you wish to obtain the most accurate or the most entertaining table tennis experience!
SINGLEPLAYER EXPERIENCE:
You’re about to face 4 members of the infamous Division of Steel per Cup. Beware! The higher the Cup, the more demanding and troublesome it gets!
There are two separate campaigns to go through - Full Simulation and Arcade.
ADVANCED PHYSICS:
As expected in VR, our aim was to address the simulation aspect of the game to provide the real table tennis experience. We spent countless hours on developing our own physics from scratch and tweaking it with professional table tennis players. Based on scientific research, it’s extremely realistic and translates your moves in the most accurate manner.
CHALLENGING AI:
Thanks to a particularly advanced Artificial Intelligence in singleplayer, every opponent you’re going to play against will have their own temper and an utterly unique style of play.
PRACTICE MODE PRO:
Enhance your skills and become stronger with every match because from now on you can practice like a pro!
MOCAP ANIMATIONS:
To deliver the most realistic characters’ movements, we relied upon motion capture data for our animations. The actors participating in the recording were in fact professional table tennis players, which translates each player’s swing into one, fluid motion and makes the rivalry as realistic as possible.
MULTIPLAYER:
Racket Fury offers up not only singleplayer campaigns but also multiplayer mode that allows you to challenge the players from every corner of the world and defeat them with your smart strategy and unbeatable technique.
WORKSHOP:
Each victory provides you with valuable assets that allow you to develop your unique character. The more skillful you become, the more admirable in your rivals’ eyes you become.

The game no longer works. It doesn't detect controllers, so there is no way to interact with it. It appears all support has stopped. Avoid purchase.6 found this helpful
Does not support anything other than Vive controllers. The prompt to adjust the table at the beginning of a match was not able to be done with the Index controllers, leading to a very uncomfortable posture during the match. You also can't adjust the paddle angle so that the handle lines up with the angle of the controller's grip making the paddle feel very cumbersome.3 found this helpful
The tracking just feels wrong and unnatural. It's fine in the other major table tennis game, so it's a negative for me.2 found this helpful
This is great if you want a solo table tennis training challenge vs. challenging a.i. robots, or if you just want to be able to play some table tennis at home without any equipment, and without the need to have others ready to play it with you. Half of the 16 computer a.i. opponents available are really hard to beat at first (it's more reasonable after you get very good at the game). That's why I call this a "table tennis training challenge." However, if you ignore the crazy difficulty in the Gold Clash and Carbon Fury matches, this is a table tennis VR game that looks great, works great, and feels realistic enough to fool you into thinking that you are playing table tennis like a real "pro" player ;). I played the psvr1 version of this for 50 hours, years ago; the psvr2 version for just 5-8 hours; and now the pc vr version with an HTC Vive Cosmos, and it has always been a well-done table tennis experience. I highly recommend it on discount, or even at full price, if you know that a good table tennis challenge in VR is what you are looking for. I definitely enjoyed it, but make no mistake about it: beating all 16 opponents was seriously difficult material. The first 8 are easy, but…
As an Oculus player, I can't adjust the table because the game tells me to use a button on a Vive controller (no button on the Oculus controllers worked, but there are TWO buttons that open the pause menu). Sometimes the bot or I got a point basically before anything happened (throw the ball, hit it, and just before it does the first bounce on the opponent's side, the bot or I got a point). I'm also crap at table tennis. All in all, the game isn't for me.
Mostly I like this game but there's a few bugs that need to be fixed. I see the ball go through the paddles quite often, not just when playing, like you can't serve. There are other "glitches" where the robots win when they shouldn't. Still fun, but it'd be nice to see these glitches fixed.
