I read all these negative comments from non-VR users that put down VR and I just must laugh. There is a Psychological term argument from ignorance, they are just showing their ignorance and stupidity talking about a subject that know nothing about.
Aren’t you a little bit curious why VR users are so passionate about Elite-VR and commonly make statements like “ Elite is the Best VR game”, “I only play VR games now “ , “No VR No Buy”, “ The only reason I Still play Elite is because of VR”.
As a long-time flat screen hard core gamer, I will now only play in VR, Only reason I bought Elite is because of VR. I have occasionally booted up some of my past flat screen games for nostalgia reasons, remembering a game that I used to enjoy so much to only last 10 to 20 minutes get board and realize it was a bad idea and jump back into VR.
I will try to explain a little of the VR experience for non-VR users.
Playing on a flat screen only gives you the illusion of 3D without and real depth perception. When sitting at a Station with the service menu screen up and a ship fly’s in and goes behind the floating screen. The screen blocks the ship, It gets blocked on flat screen but in VR you just lean over and you can look around the screen and see the ship and the rest of the station.
As you sit in front for your Flat screen playing Elite you also see all the rest of the stuff in your room, Computer, keyboard, wires, pictures on the wall , and lots more stuff. You can tell just how far away your mouse of Flat Screen is that’s your 3D real world depth perception. You know if you can or can’t touch your flat screen if you reach out, now you get that same 3D depth perception in VR. As you look around in VR get a real world 3d depth perception of your complete environment, you see that keyboard to the left on the commander’s chair you just want to reach over and start punching keys it looks so real to life.
After putting on the VR set and you look around and see your flat screen, computer, wires, pictures on the wall, and Room ALL GONE, all you see is your ship no mater where you look. I play with HOTAS and when I look down, I see my avatar using a HOTAS also. When I move the joystick or throttle my avatar mimics the same moves. When blasting of from a planet and going vertical the feeling is so real that I get the sensation of being pushed back in my chair.
Being a hard core gamer and having spent thousands on upgrading Computers and games over the years it wasn’t surprising that I would give VR a try, but what is surprising is to completely step away from flat screen gaming and embrace VR as platform of choice.
So I will stand behind these statements.
Elite best VR game
I only play VR games
No VR No Buy
I still play Elite because of VR
