Vive/Oculus rift support?

[GuusDeKroon]

Hey,

As VR is getting more mainstream and there's been leaks of Valve releasing their own HMD, is there a chance Planet Coaster will get VR support?

If you think about it, It would be a great selling point of the game, with things like walking around your own park/being on rides.
Maybe even a coaster builder in VR similar to Cloudlands, where you can tilt the coaster up and down in any direction with the Vive controller.

they have no plans on doing that. people mention it often.

heatherg23 is correct that it has been suggested several times but for now there are no plans to make it happen.

I think the main reason is performance. Even when you have pretty good hardware the frames per minute drop when you get a medium sized park.
To have a nice Oculus experience the game basically needs to process 2 screens at high framerates. That means the casual player's computer would not be able to handle that.

i'd love to build things in VR mode. but first i'd need VR hardware, which i'd go for if there would be more interesting software.

imho VR is still far away from being mainstream. which imho is the reason why most publishers don't care yet. which imho is the reason why VR is still not mainstream.

seems the cat hunts its own tail here..

I think the main reason is performance

well, if that's the reason, Frontier better shouldn't have released the game at all
