VR?

[RyuKajiya]

Does anyone know if there is a VR version planned too? This looks like a perfect game for it!
Little tough to get some info on this game even tho I find it highly interesting. (Yeah I know Patreon and Discord, but both are not the best and easiest platforms to share or search for static info).

looks perfect for VR, and if it's developed in unity implementation is fearly straight forward :D

For the 1-2% that actually play games in VR? Not even close to cost effective unless it becomes the next Minecraft.

I'm surprised that there's no plans for VR as from what I've seen, it looks like it was built for VR. There's a lot of interactions and UX designs/choices that make more sense in a VR title (minimized use of UI windows, displaying information in world, lack of conventual inventory, reduced poly count, etc...)

[Joe Coffee]

Agreed. I have an Oculus Quest, would love to see this in VR.

Well according to Steams own statistics there are close to 2 million VR headets connected to Steam each month. That is a player base that is not to be sneered at.

For small games VR can make a lot of sense, simply because VR is a Niche as well.
A good VR game can sell tens of thousends of copies aka earn a very real market share.

The only problem is that a game like Hydroneer isn't for everybody, most VR users wouldn't weant it. Despite this: a VR Hydroneer COULD be a huge success. ^^

Well I don't think you are right there. There is a ton of FPS and puzzle and physics and horror gamed in VR. But what is really missing is a building game which Hydroneer would offer. There is a huge gaping hole in the VR world that this game could fill very well. And I know plenty people who would love to see a creative/building game in VR.

@RyuKajiya
You believe 51% of VR users or more would buy Hydroneer?
Otherwise i don't think your post disagrees with what you quoted.

This game just appeared in my Oculus Library randomly! A sign of things to come maybe? Would make a really cool VR game...

oO

i like games which display informations in world, i like in world UI, i like that u need to carry stuff and i hope we get a backpack..

that doesn't mean that i'am a VR junkie or that i own VR.. it's just not the time for VR now.. Hardware is too big, u can't input that u run, there is no feedback to your body.. what u call VR is far faaar away from what a virtual reality will be in 100 years.. so maybe check back later then.. ^^
