Local multiplayer with two VRs

[Danoid]

So im pretty sure I read somewhere that anything online multiplayer related was off the table. That's fine and dandy. I love the game as is and the new update is even better. But I also just had a question to see there were any plans to have some sort of two player VR? I have a friend with a VR set up and we get together to play some co-op games in the same house and it's so much fun. Now it's got local multiplayer on the same computer and that's awesome. Just think it would be cool to see two player in VR. Maybe a co-op mode like that.

It does remove syncing problems when its local multiplayer, but it would still leave quite a few of the other problems with doing this as two VR players fighting.

Maybe the dev will respond to it.

problem is the lack of blocking feedback. normally if you block, the enemy will stagger, but you can't really be staggered yourself, because your weapon can't really be physically stopped (your controller can't get physically locked into place).
but else i like your idea, even if i could never use that feature myself after becoming broke from just buying the headset :D

Yeah that staggering thing could be an issue. I suppose the only real method that would work is to do co-op only where you dont really go head to head and have your weapons just sort of bounce off the other player....sort of like the spike fence at the beginning of each round. And yeah i agree that owning two VR setups is super unlikely so really this option would rarely get used. I just happen to be lucky enough to have a friend with a setup.

It would be wonderful to see an online option of the form of multiplayer they added recently. I love the idea of VR vs Desktop kind of thing, but so far the few that have such a thing that I've found are only local coach co-op style.

Us hermits with internet friends need love too!

This. It would make for some great cross-platform play (so to speak), by allowing non-vr players to pick up the game, if they wanted. They could team up with other non-vr players to try to kill those using VR.

Have no other developers tried this yet? It would work in VR's current state with less players. Make a game where multiple regular PC users can team up together to face single or greatly outnumbered VR users.

I've only found one game that does a VR vs Desktop kind of thing that also supported online called Mass Exodus.

Good to know. I'll have to check it out.

More VR titles with modes like this could definitely help the market. If the VR aspect of a game looks fun enough to the regular PC users, it could help move them towards picking up a headset so they can play that end.
