The Best VR Racing Experiences on PC

  • Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
  • Have you gotten or are you looking to get into sim racing in virtual reality? VR headsets are becoming more and more popular. It’s either a recommended experience or something to avoid, depending on who you speak to about it. Either way, it’s an exciting medium that’s on the rise in sim racing, video games and esports alike.
    Our Ross McGregor and John Munro have gone through the trouble of testing out some of our favorite racing games and simulators to see which ones are worth setting up to play in VR, as well as which ones need some work to get up to snuff. We also have some suggestions for titles that might work well with an added VR experience.
    There are six games on this list that we absolutely recommend playing in VR if you get a chance to. Spoiler alert - not every game works well in VR, some don’t even work at all, or on every medium that they are available like F1 22, but some experiences might be elevated depending on things like your setup and comfort with the headsets. Be sure to hear out our thoughts on the matter.
    Are there any other titles that you’d like to see get a VR experience added? Do you agree with our sentiments on these picks? Let us know down in the comments, and don’t forget to keep it pinned for more racing game content!

    When you are in VR in Pcars2, try walk outside from your car and look at the opponents. They all suddenly look like a big rectangular block only, just like when someone first started a project in autocad LOL maybe that's why it performs so well?
    But then if you do the same in AC, all other cars are still rendered pretty well and you could even crouch down and look at the information on the tire. I had a VR car meet with friends and we could stand around our cars and chat at the Green Hell carpark, it was an amazing experience.

    Hello, I'm wondering what recording tool you are using for capturing vr gameplay videos in such good quality. Can you tell me? I'm using OBS + Openvr Plugin but I'm not satisfied with it.

    • @TraxionGG
      @TraxionGG  Год назад

      Hey! I used a mixture of OBS Studios and Nvidia Geforce capture depending on the game. It takes a bit of butchering to get each game to look okay, sometimes you need to re-scale the footage when you are editing it if it looks stretched. And I think there was the odd time where I had to use the steam VR viewer to try and capture correctly.
      Basically it’s a bit of a pain, but you just need to experiment with the capture settings for each game, and make sure you have your bitrate high!

    Nice summary. Two thoughts from reading on the topic: A lot of people seem to think that Rfactor 2 has the best physics, so I'm surprised you didn't include that one in your review. And secondly, for online racing, iracing is apparently by far the number one due to the competitive driver-base that game has attracted, to the extent that there simply is no contest in that department.

    • @TraxionGG
      @TraxionGG  8 месяцев назад +2

      Thanks for your comment! This was more a look at the specific VR elements within these games, rather than the games/experiences as a whole. At the time of writing the video, we had some issues with rF2's VR accessibility so it didn't make the top 10, but as a driving and racing sim it's abolsutely one of the best. We have heard good things about the VR experience since making this video so maybe it would be high up the list were we to make a new one!

And as I am newly getting into SimRacing and are about to get my first proper Rig and Wheel, ditching the G25. I rather go with a 34" single monitor first.

      The Reverb G2 is 2160 x 2160 per eye, and it looks on par with a 32" 1080p monitor.
      If you wait until Q3 2023, you could get the recently announced "Bigscreen Beyond" headset.
      It is a tiny, super comfortable headset, with 2560 x 2560 per eye micro-OLED displays.
      Bigscreen Beyond will be the pinnacle of visuals for VR in the price bracket. It's a huge leap ahead of even the Reverb G2 (also LCD vs OLED). It's expensive but if you have the cash, this is the one.
      Nothing like racing in VR. It's a quantum leap in experience.

Going into the corner, being able to focus on the front offside wheel and have proper depth perception. An incredible experience!

    Well it is now 2024. Other racing games that are very good are RFactor 2 and F1-23. AMS 2 now has a content manager to add new tracks and cars.
    The new UEVR injector app now allows any UREAL engine 4 or 5 run game to be able to run the games in first person VR. Games like Bike 4 and Bike 5 and others, can't remember their names. This UEVR app is awesome for the PC computer.
    I use VORPX to run games maybe not in true VR, but in 3D mode with a VR headset. Several racing games are listed in VORPX and are a little better than doing a flat screen display.
    You are wrong about Assetto Corsa not having Oval tracks, They do. There is a JNS track pack which has 32 Oval tracks. These have been out for quite a while. RFactor 2 also has similar Oval track pack and RFactor 2 has rolling starts.

    If you're going to do PC simming, the Quest 2 is probably not the best way to go. Sure, it's wireless and convenient (which also introduces the problem of keeping it charged, so not all positive) but it's wireless, which means it may have more latency and it *certainly* has image compression which directly affects your maximum clarity. The HP Reverb G2 - wired in to the PC graphics card directly - may just be the best overall choice, although in Europe a Pico Neo 3 Link (which can be both standalone and wired in via displayport, thus the "link" part) can match or beat it. Both are relatively affordable. The Quest 2 will work, but it's not the optimal tool in this case. Great for standalone play though. Of course, if money is no object and you have a high-end Nvidia GPU, Pimax and others make high FOV units that are tricky to dial in and quirky but should give a superior experience.

The new CSP and Pure mods will take everything you can throw at it, and still need to be optimised when using a Varjo Aero/Reverb G2 if you want all the eye candy turned on.
    All the recent hype about GT7 and PSVR2 - I hope it brings some new blood to the PCVR driving scene. It was GT Sport and the PSVR1 that got me hooked on VR driving titles and why I made the switch to PC.

It’s small things like jaggies on wires across the screen etc but it all adds to the immersion. So it’s hard to go back to enabling FSR/DLSS again on the 4090. With ACC, I can still keep DLSS off but I just have my settings set to somewhere between VR High and VR Ultra when I play in good weather. With rain etc, it will require judicious adjustments to get to 90. Check HamVR’s channel on his frame timings with the 4090 with Reverb G2 and Quest 2.
