the reason why driving or racing/simulation games are good in VR is the locomotion. There is no fake feeling of using an analog to move and you also can put a fan to make the immersion more realistic! I really think all Racing games should be VR compatible since you are wearing a helmet in real life, wearing the Headset will make that feel even more real!
That fan idea would be legit.. even better if you could customize a controller to power the fan on and off, aka pressing/holding the trigger turns fan on & then releasing the trigger powers it off. Probably could do this without wiring the controller to it persay by using a software to do it when you press & release that trigger button, then the software sends signal to fan via a wireless switch to toggle it on and off. This should work good for racing games since you usually would just be sitting to do it anyway unlike other VR games where you may be moving all around during gameplay.
I was just thinking do any of the companies making race SIM hardware sell USB fans that adjust speed with your vehicles speed? Some wind in the hair motoring on a bike or in an open top vehicle.
illegal you say? perhaps you should first play a large selection of VR racing simulators first, experience some motion sickness and the like, understand the advantages and short coming...THEN form an opinion without using such strong language as "illegal" and "waste"
You are absolutely right, every racing game should have VR support. I'm riding ZX6R and it's pretty much how it looks like on a real bike. For riders, games like this, help us survive winter period 😉
I ride a zx 14 and agree it could actually save lives.....or maybe opposite to I guess. Imagine on your ninja and thinking your playing a game if you did it too much
As someone that owned 7 motorbikes and rode for 30 years, the visuals are pretty damn realistic. Sound, no, not even close. Crashing, most definitely not (1 broken leg and 3 motorbike write offs and 2 slide outs from water on road), specially given several people have died doing the Isle TT.
I grew up on the isle of man, and the TT is an amazing childhood memory of mine. i remember the smell of octane in the air wafting up the end of my road every year. watching this vid brings back so many memories. I lived right slap bang on the course and each year the roads would be closed when there are races. the devs seem to have managed to do an excellent full scale rendition of the tracks and environments. (building by building) if you go to Ballaugh Bridge (which I think is near this section of the track) there is a super pub/restaurant I highly recommend you visit. You cant miss it as it is right next to the famous Bridge. thanks for sharing. I am deffo gonna play this on my VR and get a cup of Gas in front of a fan when i play it lol.
WOW! I'm blown away. My kids and I just got into VR on our PlayStation with Gran Turismo and it's phenomenal sitting inside of the exact BMW I have parked outside and racing it on the Tokyo Expressway at night time. 🤯
Same, I refuse to even try them. They just seem so boring on a flat screen. Currently I'm into Assetto Corsa OG in VR and can't get enough.

I just tried this. It is the best VR experience I have had. I screamed in happiness! =D Thank you so much for this video. I am an experienced motorcycle rider with lots of trackday experience and when I first played Ride 5, I could almost not get around a single lap. I crashed constantly even with all the driving aids. However, enter UEVR... On my first time in VR I did several laps on a superbike without a single crash - high speed. It is mindblowing how much easier it is in VR. It just felt natural. I used an Xbox controller in both cases. The most important thing about riding a bike is to be aware of your vision and look where you are going. Especially around hairpins. I love it I love it!! This game needs offical VR support like the desert needs the rain.
so when you use UEVR mod do it work str8 out the gate or you gotta do some tweaking

@@WorldHayes-VR I followed the instructions on discord for the game and disabled anti cheat, but I think that was about it. It has injected properly without anti cheat.
I don't play racing games outside of VR anymore. Wipeout Omega Collection was my first and I was hooked ever since. GT7 is something I've played hundreds of hours in despite not being a sim racing fan. Hopefully there will be a new Wipeout game soon with VR support. I wish we could get F-Zero in VR, especially officially.
Wipeout omega vr is my favourite vr experience. I hope it eventually gets emulated to pcvr so that it's never lost to time (same for astrobot). I own 4 psvr sets but eventually they will all probably die due to the inherent fragility of vr headsets and cables, so fingers crossed for emulation to preserve the exclusive games.
Without official VR support I won't be trying it, because it's just way too much hassle getting all this stuff setup, but it looks pretty dang impressive.
It's the Isle of Man - a race held every year in Ireland. The real-life race is a dangerous race, for certain, and there have been many racers that have lost their lives in this race. It's definitely one of the crazier races ever.
I'm not into racing games either, but This is awesome! Ride 4 is pretty much the exact same game so I picked up that one. You might want to turn off the decoupled pitch option in camera settings though, it makes the corners feel better and more immersive. Doesn't make them any easier, but they feel better 🤣
Front brake to slow down, rear brake to "trail" when cornering as and when needed. A front brake on a corner will cause the bike to want to straighten up, a rear brake on corners will allow you tighter turns (Just don't over do it). If it's like actual bikes anyway! Not played this yet, tempted to give it a look for the vr side!
Awesome video as always... that course is in the Isle of Man (not mainland UK) and called the Southern 100. I live 5 mins walk away. I had hoped the official IOM TT game would have the S100 but it does not 🙄 So its good to see this course in Ride 5 🙄
I am VR use since 2017 literally because of sim racing and on top of that did enjoy some gems like HL Alyx, Gunman Contracts, TWD Saints and sinners, but sim racing is bread and butter of VR probably for flights sims as well.
Being afraid of the corners is definitely the real riding experience LOL. And the fact that you struggled with them implies they went for realism. Cornering a bike is a complex and learned skill.
I will give it another go, funny thing is I used to be a computer geek and everyone came to me to fix thier computer issues, now I can not figure out this whole Discord way of life now...I guess my age might be showing 😆@@neeko18
Just imagine when us slightly older generation of people, used to play games like Street Fighter, or Mortal Kombat, in the amusement arcades as kids, and how impressive the graphics seemed to be at the time. We couldnt even imagine what the future would bring. And this game is on an household console or PC. It is crazy how advanced technology has come on, in such a short number of years, and even Street Fighter was released only a few short years after games like Space Invaders, or Pacman. Not so much with arcade games, but technology in general, scares the shit out of me.😂 It comes around, gets improved, and becomes normal, everyday technology, that gets taken for granted. It is not even noticed how fast and how much technology can change our daily lives by most people. Especially the younger generation. Many not realising, that there was a time not so long ago, that mobile phones, were something that only rich businessmen and Del Trotter had. And a rare commodity. As a kid, if you wanted to get hold of a freind for a game of football or something, you had to physically go and knock on your friends front door, or ask permission to use the expensive call rates of the house-phone in your parents house.😂
As someone who rides motorcycles as their exclusive mode of transportation, and is very serious about it... the idea of playing this game in VR is a bit terrifying. You see, I'm afraid that being able to crash and just get back on the bike with only losing time might break something in my brain. I can tell the difference between VR and the real world, but that doesn't mean some part of my brain won't take it too seriously. I'm also concerned that the game might not have proper steering physics. I can't tell from this video, but... if you don't ride motorcycles IRL, then... motorcycles don't turn or corner like you probably think they do.
I really really wish I could VR in racing games - but sadly I'm someone who throws up within 20 seconds & I genuinely then have to lay in bed for 4 hours with the room spinning feeling absolutely terrible. Tried training myself over the past couple of years but no matter what I'm instantly violently sick 😭 So pleased for you guys that can somehow magically cope ! Looks a great game otherwise.
I live here (Isle of Man - not British) and was riding these roads this week. The actual race you're doing, the Southern 100, is happening literally as I this :)
Looks great, but as a long time owner of superbikes, nothing will replace the whole-body (and mind/emotional) immersion of riding, especially at speed. This, however, is a much safer alternative - I'll give you that! 🤣
I'm a VR user and I can PROMISE you, as real as you *think* it feels to experience motorcycle riding in VR, it's not... It's a whole different experience when you are actually sitting on that bike, feeling air rush around you so hard that you're afraid the air alone will pull you off... The pushing of the left handlebar to lean left, the fear and sensation your mind experiences as you wonder just how far you can safely "push it" as the bike starts to lean....then the whole "am I going too fast for this curve? I can lean it further and make the curve but I'm scared...but I have to...." These are all things riders experience, especially when newer. The rumbling of the engine and vibrations of everything. Feeling every little spot in the road radiate through the bike and then your body. Trying to remind yourself not to squeeze the damn handlebars so hard and you didn't even know you were until your hands started hurting for no reason. haha, yeah, I promise, it's completely different! Cheers.
UEVR really is a revelation for the platform. So many great UE5 games coming this year that will likely work with it. Imagine playing that new Captain America / Black Panther game in VR. Probably going to need a 5090 to do so but will be worth it!
This game looks phenomenal, I'm running old PCVR hardware but I'd love to give this a go! Idea for a future video, would love to see a "state of the game" for Bonelab mods... it feels like the entire VR world was so hopeful for big, beautiful mods-or even full games built in-engine-to come out via Bonelab, but I just haven't heard anything on that front. Is the stuff that's come out of Bonelab's modding scene even noteworthy?
The problem, in general, with racing games is that you don't "feel" the speed enough in curves. Even if you take a peek at the spedometer, you hardly realize that you're going thru a corner at 200+ Km/h. Good thing you have the "indicator" which turns to red if you are speeding too much.
Well there are rigs for that now. Sure they still cost a pretty penny. A tilt and yaw base will set you back about $1000. But it's on the side of affordable. But that's the thing with sims. If you want to have a realistic experience you have to go from a gamepad to a steeringwheel and from there to a direct drive etc. In reality it's just a fraction of the cost of a real racing experience.
We need a company to map every road in every country in 4k day and night maps so you can do every race and every road trip. Computers are getting there on the power required for a really good experience.
@@BeardoBenjo If you haven't tried it already, Assetto Corsa is the ultimate VR racing sim for PC. The number of car and track mods is insane, and the quality of a vast majority of them is fantastic. If you get the program Content Manager, it makes setting up and launching everything right from your desktop so easy too.
In real live the trick to corners is to enter at the right angle and throttle through ... the wheels bite the atr more than you think ... it's getting over the fear I guess :)
I think devs look at the raw percentages of users on Steam who own a VR headset and think it isn't worth supporting. What they miss is that the VR market has a big overlap with what they see their target market as, and that VR support would get a lot more race game fans interested in buying their game.
If Valve hadn't pushed the VR movement towards using hand trackers, I wonder if the goal of just sitting VR gaming would have caught on more, such that games like Witcher or Red Dead, Metro, Tarvco, etc would have built in a more simple "VR view" mode. I think there was way too many people unwilling to stand up for such long periods of time for standing VR to ever get a strong enough foothold to make its way into mainstream games. Fingers still crossed of course, but If I were gaming right now, I'd be asking devs for the "VR view" mode because I think just that is such an awesome way to view game worlds that artists put so much effort and talent into. IE, the Mines of Moria survival game out recently. Its 3rd person, but it would add so much to explore those levels "being there".
Quick tip for getting better, get all your braking done before a corner, then tip it in, then throttle up through and out of the corner gradually depending on bike/grip level! (Probably most like a RWD car to be fair) Bikes aren't like cars though, try to keep steering inputs to a minimum when cornering, and certainly try not to brake much whilst doing steering inputs. Hope that helps.
Not just a fan in front of you, but imagine getting a hold of the old school motor bike games where you sit on the bike and truly lean etc Now put on the quest
You gottah lean farther down for corners. And when you enter the turn let off the throttle a bit and cut the corner and then throttle again when coming out of it.
Take the sharp right corner, you need to down gear to 2nd and push your right handle bar opposite of the turn (for right turn push out you right hand), move your butt to the right of the seat. Right knee out and look at the end of the turn.
This game looks amazing. I'm a VR noob, just got a Quest 3 and love it. How do I go about getting this game since it isn't in the meta store to purchase?
Its not as simple as you maybe think, adding VR to racing games takes a LOT more resources than you think it does, as a result it costs a lot more to make and a lot more time to make it, hence it isn't always a priority to add it. I love VR, and I wish all games would come with VR, but I am trying to give you a small insight into what goes into "making" racing games.......VR means a ton more work. (been making racing games for 20+ years now)
As shown, the VR portion is pretty much out of the box for games using Unreal Engine. Agreed that now developers need more interactive cockpits and rigged player models. They also have to be careful about moving the camera between scenes and doing cut scenes. But that technically could be ignored as long as the head moves in game. Basically, most the hard stuff related to making a good VR game is already done by making a good racing sim. The last interactive part could be handed off to a VR specific team (like Team Beef has started to do with their new company).
@@NukeMarineyup, Its not the VR bit that is hard, it is building the assets to support VR that becomes massively more costly than building a racing game without VR.
Unfortunately have to agree with Mark here. When you’re buying a AAA product, people won’t accept the limitations they are willing to with something like UEVR, and rightly so. If it was that simple, devs/designers would just do it, but as Mark points out theres a ton of dev and asset work to do (and then obviously retesting) , …and it’s a shame to say, for limited reward atm as the VR take-up is nowhere near that of flat platforms Then ask yourself how often you hear “I don’t really play racing games” meaning it’s not the largest slice of the gaming market either - so you can understand the focus on flat However I completely agree all driving games should be released with vr support, but that’s why I’m not a businessman :D (15 yrs in racing dev)
Ride is brilliant! (but damn difficult)... I've got a Pimax 5K, which is a massive heavy thing, but still weighs about the same as my bike-helmet does and works great with the 200° FOV. I ride a MV F3-800, and the in game version of it is perfect!
Looks good and i cant wait to try it. They need to sort out the bar movements, kind off all over the place and doesn't represent bike riding. I gotta play it, i do ride bikes.
To me simulation games are the best application for VR. I have a cockpit setup with wheel and pedals for Iracing and joysticks for flight sims. The immersion is top notch.
You look to be using a tank-mounted camera. If there's another camera option that puts your view inside the helmet of the rider, that's the one you really want to use to really get the feel of riding a real motorcycle.
@OnSong416 I haven't used the Quest 3 specifically, but on the Quest 2, you go into Settings > System > Headset Tracking and there is a drop-down there for "Tracking Frequency"
Isle of Man….Southern 100 Road Race circuit, Now the only mass start road race on the IOM, as opposed to the TT races which are a time trial…and set off individually 👍👌🇮🇲
Have they absolutely nailed what England looks like...? If they have, they've clearly failed to properly render the Southern 100 route, because the Isle of Man is not in England. That aside, while I would agree that racing games on the whole benefit massively from VR support, well... that's statistically correct, because most racing games are driving games, and really, motorbikes are not a good idea. There's a Spanish guy who was working for a fitness gadget company, and he wanted to get VR working with a static pedal cycle so that people could have the full experience of being there. He abandoned the project because he (and all his guinea pigs) might start off OK, but they'd eventually fall off, because they would try to lean. I reckon that having a VR motorbike game is going to lead to players falling over... not all the time, but often enough that it's a health-and-safety nightmare. The relative motion of the camera is also going to be pretty extreme, so people who suffer motion sickness -- even mild varieties -- are going to quickly lose their lunch.
I thought the goblet squat was about opening up the hips under load a bit more each time, kinda calibrating core activation and emphasizing stability/control in the deeper range. I pretty much just do what Pavel and Stuart McGill tell me, as I shovel aggressively all day and have had a bulging disc, which I don't want to experience again.
I don’t care for racing games… But agree 100% would do this in VR!! I got sick of FPS games and haven’t played in years… until I got Half Life Alyx… loving them again!!
Gotta lean into the corners. 😉 It's not uncommon for racers to touch knees to the ground. I'm not a racer, and never scraped my knees on the pavement, but I've come pretty close. I always wanted to join the 200Mph club, but was never able to quite make it. The best I could ever get was about 186Mph. ...Still scary though. I'm older now and have too much to live for , but I think I'll likely see about getting this game. Perhaps I can achieve in VR what I couldn't in real life. Thank you for the suggestion. 😁👍
This game looks so good and they now have a new leaning mod, I've been trying to get this to run for 3 days in UEVR, but no good , think it's something to do with the anti cheat, know your busy if you can you should do another video of this with the lean mod, thanks everything you do in VR
*Slow* Aim to reduce the majority of your speed while upright, before you start turning *Look* Look at where you want to exit the corner, not the wall you're about to smash into *Set* Set the throttle to a constant power during the turn to ensure the bike keeps turning smoothly and predictively *Roll* As you start to straighten up, roll on the power progressively, until the bike is nearly fully upright, then dime it
You should put a fan blowing air in front of you for more immersion 😂
Right!! 😆
And a scarf
Funny thing that actually makes people less motion sick sometimes so ye
I use fan in front in every driving game. It makes the immersion go up
Hair blowing in the wind 😂

The pushing of the left handlebar to lean left, the fear and sensation your mind experiences as you wonder just how far you can safely "push it" as the bike starts to lean....then the whole "am I going too fast for this curve? I can lean it further and make the curve but I'm scared...but I have to...." These are all things riders experience, especially when newer. The rumbling of the engine and vibrations of everything. Feeling every little spot in the road radiate through the bike and then your body. Trying to remind yourself not to squeeze the damn handlebars so hard and you didn't even know you were until your hands started hurting for no reason. haha, yeah, I promise, it's completely different! Cheers.
as a superbike rider in real-life i have to say: realistic.
UEVR really is a revelation for the platform. So many great UE5 games coming this year that will likely work with it. Imagine playing that new Captain America / Black Panther game in VR. Probably going to need a 5090 to do so but will be worth it!
This game looks phenomenal, I'm running old PCVR hardware but I'd love to give this a go!
Idea for a future video, would love to see a "state of the game" for Bonelab mods... it feels like the entire VR world was so hopeful for big, beautiful mods-or even full games built in-engine-to come out via Bonelab, but I just haven't heard anything on that front. Is the stuff that's come out of Bonelab's modding scene even noteworthy?
on the straight bits I would say its very realistic from memory of blasting down country roads back in the day.
The problem, in general, with racing games is that you don't "feel" the speed enough in curves. Even if you take a peek at the spedometer, you hardly realize that you're going thru a corner at 200+ Km/h. Good thing you have the "indicator" which turns to red if you are speeding too much.
Well there are rigs for that now. Sure they still cost a pretty penny. A tilt and yaw base will set you back about $1000. But it's on the side of affordable. But that's the thing with sims. If you want to have a realistic experience you have to go from a gamepad to a steeringwheel and from there to a direct drive etc. In reality it's just a fraction of the cost of a real racing experience.
Mankind has done it- photorealistic games.
I pray I'll have a good VR googles someday.
God bless.
We need a company to map every road in every country in 4k day and night maps so you can do every race and every road trip. Computers are getting there on the power required for a really good experience.
When you corner you look where you want to be past the corner. Also I believe that track is modeled after Ulster
project cars 2 with quest 3 and steering wheel is awesome and it has native vr support
Still need to try that one, I’ve got a wheel and shifter now so I bet that’s amazing
@@BeardoBenjo project cars 1,2,3 are vr supported but the best one in my opinion is pc2
@@BeardoBenjo If you haven't tried it already, Assetto Corsa is the ultimate VR racing sim for PC. The number of car and track mods is insane, and the quality of a vast majority of them is fantastic. If you get the program Content Manager, it makes setting up and launching everything right from your desktop so easy too.
every game should have VR support. And in a motorcycle game is so simple to add. ..
In real live the trick to corners is to enter at the right angle and throttle through ... the wheels bite the atr more than you think ... it's getting over the fear I guess :)
I think devs look at the raw percentages of users on Steam who own a VR headset and think it isn't worth supporting. What they miss is that the VR market has a big overlap with what they see their target market as, and that VR support would get a lot more race game fans interested in buying their game.
If Valve hadn't pushed the VR movement towards using hand trackers, I wonder if the goal of just sitting VR gaming would have caught on more, such that games like Witcher or Red Dead, Metro, Tarvco, etc would have built in a more simple "VR view" mode. I think there was way too many people unwilling to stand up for such long periods of time for standing VR to ever get a strong enough foothold to make its way into mainstream games. Fingers still crossed of course, but If I were gaming right now, I'd be asking devs for the "VR view" mode because I think just that is such an awesome way to view game worlds that artists put so much effort and talent into. IE, the Mines of Moria survival game out recently. Its 3rd person, but it would add so much to explore those levels "being there".
Quick tip for getting better, get all your braking done before a corner, then tip it in, then throttle up through and out of the corner gradually depending on bike/grip level! (Probably most like a RWD car to be fair)
Bikes aren't like cars though, try to keep steering inputs to a minimum when cornering, and certainly try not to brake much whilst doing steering inputs. Hope that helps.
F1 like this would be ridiculous 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not just a fan in front of you, but imagine getting a hold of the old school motor bike games where you sit on the bike and truly lean etc
Now put on the quest
if this game can be played with wheelbase and motion simulation platform it will be awesome!
Standby for that exact video 😁, I've done Isle Of Man TT 3 in my rig with wheel base, video is on my channel.
That track is called the TT Isle of Man..
IT IS ONE OF the most deadly, FASTEST in the world
The Southern 100 is a course in the south of the Isle of Man. A fast and sometimes fatal course.
You gottah lean farther down for corners. And when you enter the turn let off the throttle a bit and cut the corner and then throttle again when coming out of it.
Take the sharp right corner, you need to down gear to 2nd and push your right handle bar opposite of the turn (for right turn push out you right hand), move your butt to the right of the seat. Right knee out and look at the end of the turn.
Seeing your reaction when you go around the corner .
The only thing missing on those UK roads for full realism. Endless potholes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Imagine this with one of these motorbike controller arcades where yo have a full size mock-up bike as a controller
Graphics are amazing, but if they had cars I'd be sold lol
This game looks amazing. I'm a VR noob, just got a Quest 3 and love it. How do I go about getting this game since it isn't in the meta store to purchase?
You'll have VRIDER SBK available for Quest 3 possibly this week on App Lab.
Its not as simple as you maybe think, adding VR to racing games takes a LOT more resources than you think it does, as a result it costs a lot more to make and a lot more time to make it, hence it isn't always a priority to add it. I love VR, and I wish all games would come with VR, but I am trying to give you a small insight into what goes into "making" racing games.......VR means a ton more work. (been making racing games for 20+ years now)
As shown, the VR portion is pretty much out of the box for games using Unreal Engine. Agreed that now developers need more interactive cockpits and rigged player models. They also have to be careful about moving the camera between scenes and doing cut scenes. But that technically could be ignored as long as the head moves in game. Basically, most the hard stuff related to making a good VR game is already done by making a good racing sim. The last interactive part could be handed off to a VR specific team (like Team Beef has started to do with their new company).
@@NukeMarineyup, Its not the VR bit that is hard, it is building the assets to support VR that becomes massively more costly than building a racing game without VR.
@@PhantomMark Just execute a batch file which execute uevr which then enable vr. Dont worry, user will not know what the developer is thinking.
Unfortunately have to agree with Mark here. When you’re buying a AAA product, people won’t accept the limitations they are willing to with something like UEVR, and rightly so.
If it was that simple, devs/designers would just do it, but as Mark points out theres a ton of dev and asset work to do (and then obviously retesting) , …and it’s a shame to say, for limited reward atm as the VR take-up is nowhere near that of flat platforms
Then ask yourself how often you hear “I don’t really play racing games” meaning it’s not the largest slice of the gaming market either - so you can understand the focus on flat
However I completely agree all driving games should be released with vr support, but that’s why I’m not a businessman :D (15 yrs in racing dev)
Every racing game should be vr support with wheel and h shifter
PLEASE DEAR GOD HAVE THEM GIVE US A SICK VR REMAKE OF ROAD RASH!!!!
3 weeks later, you're "just looking" at great 125cc starter bikes for $2k. This is how that kinda thing starts. 🤘😂🤙
This should be able to use the controllers connecto to each other like a the steering on a bike.... that would be awesome!
"looks like roads i drive through in england" - apparently never heard of the Isle of Man
Ride is brilliant! (but damn difficult)... I've got a Pimax 5K, which is a massive heavy thing, but still weighs about the same as my bike-helmet does and works great with the 200° FOV.
I ride a MV F3-800, and the in game version of it is perfect!
The race track is Isle of Man Tourist Trophy.
Imagine this in 3D as well as VR
Looks good and i cant wait to try it. They need to sort out the bar movements, kind off all over the place and doesn't represent bike riding. I gotta play it, i do ride bikes.
To me simulation games are the best application for VR. I have a cockpit setup with wheel and pedals for Iracing and joysticks for flight sims. The immersion is top notch.
Don't worry that you can't corner in a racing game, it's not like it happens every few seconds 😂 Obviously agreed this looks stunning !
I never considered VR motorcycles that sounds fun
Now, combine that with one of those classic arcade motorcycle rigs and start leaning into the turns.
You look to be using a tank-mounted camera. If there's another camera option that puts your view inside the helmet of the rider, that's the one you really want to use to really get the feel of riding a real motorcycle.
Definitely looks spectacular
Amazing graphics 😮
One of the best games I ever played as I grew up was No Second Prize by Thalion Software.
Very old bike
Shouldn’t drive in rain irl. But pro tip if you’re getting a bike. Never accelerate in a corner. When you do you take weight off the front tire.
love the brake fluid
I'd love to play this but i get really bad motion sickness everytime! I tried the MQ3. Looks amazing.
If you increase the tracking frequency on your headset, it will clear up all that jitter/shakiness
@OnSong416 I haven't used the Quest 3 specifically, but on the Quest 2, you go into Settings > System > Headset Tracking and there is a drop-down there for "Tracking Frequency"
This needs to be played with the fanatec 5.0 moto gp wheel base & grip bars
Isle of Man….Southern 100 Road Race circuit, Now the only mass start road race on the IOM, as opposed to the TT races which are a time trial…and set off individually 👍👌🇮🇲
I totally would purchase this day one at the price point. Come on Meta, you put us into warplanes, put us on those bikes.
Have they absolutely nailed what England looks like...? If they have, they've clearly failed to properly render the Southern 100 route, because the Isle of Man is not in England.
That aside, while I would agree that racing games on the whole benefit massively from VR support, well... that's statistically correct, because most racing games are driving games, and really, motorbikes are not a good idea.
There's a Spanish guy who was working for a fitness gadget company, and he wanted to get VR working with a static pedal cycle so that people could have the full experience of being there. He abandoned the project because he (and all his guinea pigs) might start off OK, but they'd eventually fall off, because they would try to lean. I reckon that having a VR motorbike game is going to lead to players falling over... not all the time, but often enough that it's a health-and-safety nightmare. The relative motion of the camera is also going to be pretty extreme, so people who suffer motion sickness -- even mild varieties -- are going to quickly lose their lunch.
You should try a flight sim in vr if you want to really push what vr is doing right now. IL2 great battles, DCS World or even Microsoft flight sim
I thought the goblet squat was about opening up the hips under load a bit more each time, kinda calibrating core activation and emphasizing stability/control in the deeper range.
I pretty much just do what Pavel and Stuart McGill tell me, as I shovel aggressively all day and have had a bulging disc, which I don't want to experience again.
I don’t care for racing games… But agree 100% would do this in VR!!
I got sick of FPS games and haven’t played in years… until I got Half Life Alyx… loving them again!!
what about the iom TT game? Does that have a VR option?
Microsoft should study those clouds ❤️ for Flight Simulator.
it is a pity the mod doesn't bring some authentic controls with holding the steering stick with both hands and accelerating by twisting your right arm
Gotta lean into the corners. 😉 It's not uncommon for racers to touch knees to the ground. I'm not a racer, and never scraped my knees on the pavement, but I've come pretty close. I always wanted to join the 200Mph club, but was never able to quite make it. The best I could ever get was about 186Mph. ...Still scary though. I'm older now and have too much to live for , but I think I'll likely see about getting this game. Perhaps I can achieve in VR what I couldn't in real life. Thank you for the suggestion. 😁👍
needs ambient occlusion where the tires meet the road/ ground
Not real until you have a pint of bugs splattered all over you 😂
This game looks so good and they now have a new leaning mod, I've been trying to get this to run for 3 days in UEVR, but no good , think it's something to do with the anti cheat, know your busy if you can you should do another video of this with the lean mod, thanks everything you do in VR
is that the isle of man? if so what a race to jump into motorbikes in lol
DAMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNN, now tat looks epic!
*Slow* Aim to reduce the majority of your speed while upright, before you start turning
*Look* Look at where you want to exit the corner, not the wall you're about to smash into
*Set* Set the throttle to a constant power during the turn to ensure the bike keeps turning smoothly and predictively
*Roll* As you start to straighten up, roll on the power progressively, until the bike is nearly fully upright, then dime it
