Vector 36 is a physics based racer by Red River Studio LLC, sporting VR support along with a release date that should hopefully coincide with the Oculus Rift CV1's release. The title has often been compared with Episode I: Racer, but is much more complex and physics orientated. For starters it has pitch controls and a near newton-physics simulation of general movement. The placement systems for the parts supports all manner of configuration for weight distribution as well as lift distribution, and features a number of prebuilt skimmers for those looking to dive into the race. The game takes place on Mars, and pits you against a range of opponents on multiple tracks to test your skills. There's also a neat little part destruction system to keep you from going full cowboy on the way around the track.
Physics-based futuristic VR compatible racer Vector 36, currently available as an Early Access title, will race on to the PC, Mac and Linux this month which will be followed by a Xbox One version and eventually a PlayStation 4 version complete with PlayStation VR compatibility.
Earlier this week VRFocus reported on developer Red River Studios confirming its physics-based racer, Vector 36 would be supporting Sony Computer Entertainments (SCEs) PlayStation VR head-mounted display (HMD) for PlayStation 4. The PC version of the videogame is currently on Steam Early Access with full support for Oculus Rift, which will be followed by HTC Vive compatibility. The studio has also released a new update for the PC version.
VRFocus - Back in October, VRFocus reported on the news that indie developer Red River Studio had launched the pre-release version of its sci-fi racing title, Vector 36, over on Steam’s Early Access system. The videogame, which is set to support PC-based virtual reality (VR) head-mounted displays (HMDs) in the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, still remains in this state, with support for the former’s second development kit (DK2) now available. That said, it’s today been confirmed that Vector 36 will also be coming to PlayStation 4 next year, and will be supporting the console’s PlayStation VR HMD.
I can't wait for VR. I held out on buying a dev kit, but it's taking so long now I really should have just gotten one. I could have been playing around with VR for like 2 or 3 years now.
