Oct 19, 2019 Build Your own VR Ride as RollerCoaster Tycoon Joyride Arrives on PlayStation VR Do more than just ride rollercoasters in Atari's latest title. Web VR Roller Coaster - Ride a virtual reality roller coaster from your web browser! Supports the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR, as well as Google Daydream & Google Cardboard. Atari Nvizzio Creations PlayStation VR RollerCoaster Tycoon Joyride The Atari brand might be iconic, but it’s not the powerhouse it once was. The company dabbled in virtual reality (VR) back in the.
The consumer version of the Oculus Rift isn't far off now, and I'd love to have some sort of integration into the game, such as riding the rollercoasters in VR (See this very popular Unreal Engine mod created to show off how effective it can be), and wandering around the park in first person as a peep, experiencing different rides.
This is the main integration I would love to see, which would be more simple to implement than having Rift support fully integrated into gameplay, which would be awesome, but pretty hard to make with such early and rudimentary VR hardware that we have now. See this great video of a theme park projected in miniature on the real world, which looks like it would be like making your own little world inside the game. The whole walking around stuff wouldn't really work with how the Rift only works as a seated experience, but I could imagine just peering into the world and using Razer Hydra to grab and place objects and rides working.
The latest entry in the long-running RollerCoaster Tycoon series is now available exclusively on the PlayStation 4. RollerCoaster Tycoon Joyride promises an incredibly immersive experience for fans as the series delves for the first time into virtual reality. That’s right! Be afraid, because now you can build and experience your own insane RollerCoaster Tycoon monstrosities first-hand with the PlayStation VR. Check out the campy new trailer above.
For the bravest among you—those of you who have strong, sturdy VR legs and aren’t prone to motion sickness—this is going to be the most intense PlayStation VR experience since WipEout Omega Collection’s VR mode. You’re going to feel your stomach lurch as you crest giant, metallic mountains and begin your descent. You’re going to feel your head swim as you dart through corkscrews and launch through loops. You’re going to puke on your dock as you whiz down sharply-angled spirals.
