VR guest mode

[Qiou87]

I know, not everyone has a VR headset, it could potentially take quite a lot of time to implement...

Still, I would absolutely LOVE the opportunity to walk about in my, or anyone else's, zoo in VR as a normal guest. It would be a simple spectator mode, just like when you click on a guest and view their camera. This time, though, you would be the guest and control where they go.

Don't get me wrong, I still value the building part of this game most, and I have sunk 170 hours in it. But after all those hours meticulously placing plants, rocks and everything else to make my animals happy and my zoo original and pretty, I'd greatly enjoy to actually "be" in my zoo. I feel like that is currently the weak spot in the game (actually enjoying the zoo as a guest), since you cannot control the guest if you see their camera, and the normal camera options don't really make you feel like you are actually in the scenery because you can fly through everything.

Just a thought! I also wanted to share it here because I am curious about what others would think about it...

My friend brings his VR setup over occasionally and I'd love to have people take a look at my zoo with it!

VR makes me dizzy but I agree on a zoo guest mode like in ZT2 and ZT 2013/17.
I actually liked being able to customize my zoo keeper in Zoo tycoon 2013/17

I don't have VR, but would love the option to walk around my zoo as a guest. I also miss being able to take matters into my own hands, picking up litter and feeding animals myself (one of my favorite features in Zoo Tycoon 2). I've had issues with zookeepers just NOT feeding my animals in an otherwise 5 star zoo, so I'd love to be able to do those things myself.

So like a “be a keeper” dlc in first person view. That’d be neat, even more so in VR as you’d walk about the zoo but also have stuff to do besides sightseeing.
