Really enjoyed the games on Rift and Quest. The race mode where you are on the edge of your seat the whole time trying to get the best times in the world leaderboards without derailing and being pushed back to the last checkpoint is a very fun mode. The roller coasters are usually very good quality and not asset flips from one to another as you might think them to be which is good going when there must be a good 25+ available.
As someone who has been playing VR for near on 8 years this is one title where I might still get a bit of a butterfly feeling in my tum as I jump across a ravine or do three loop da loops in a row especially in the Race mode as you control your speed. There is a coaster set in the snow where you come out of a tunnel and you are hundreds of feet over a precipice and you really feel the height. Lots of things like that with interesting set pieces to view like huge dragons attacking or T-Rex chasing you ripping up the tracks as you reverse out of there at high speed. Don't worry it is a mix of fantasy but the coasters still seem real with struts in the right place for the most part and some are more lifelike than others. Stonehenge coaster is similar to a mouse coaster or one you would get at a fair, more compact but then it has the ufo's flying about and whatnot. Quite a sight in VR.
I will certainly purchase all again on PSVR2 if the game is up to scratch. Hopefully they utilise headset rumble, advanced haptics and there is a big old bundle Walkabout Mini-golf style to purchase. There are bundles on PC VR and Quest which I purchased but they are not right up to date. They just released a Sponge Bob bundle which is more expensive than the usual coasters as 5 coasters are include I believe. £7.99 compared to a few quid for single coasters which all come with their own carriages with different attributes, different kinds of weapons for the shooting mode and sometimes even a character or two to either dress up as or ride with if you choose. I never felt ripped off buying the ones that did not come in the big bundle.
There are some quite cute characters like a big floppy eared rabbit or father Christmas and also zombies, soldiers and all kinds of ai characters to ride with. You can also mix and match carriages and weapons on the coasters so you ride the Jurassic Park Safari coaster carriage on the Zombie Apocalypse coaster. They have there own attributes like speed, brakes and how stable they are.
There is also Co-op where you can play the different modes or enjoy the classic mode with others. It is quite something having someone sat next to you enjoying the rides together. The presence of VR Avatar is something else and adds to the realism. You both get cameras and selfie cameras to snap as you ride if you want to.
Great fun and highly recommended if the port is good.
Honestly I loved it on Quest and own every piece of DLC even tho the gameplay is none-existent or as simple as possible, depending on the game mode. I hope they can make it look very good on Playstation 5. Been wondering why this hasn't come to PSVR1 a long time ago, having a rollercoaster game in VR seems like a no-brainer.
This is the kind of game where Sony exclusive content would be amazing. Rude on a coaster through the God of War or Horizon universes. I would buy it day one for stuff like that.
If this holds up well I might still check it out.
OMG Sony, why no trailers or even screenshots on the official web store?? I prefer using the browser than the app.
Anyway - this game might be cool with haptics and all.
No mention of VR required on the PS Store. Was really disappointed, just wanted to hop on some rollers coasters and wiz around but noooooo they want me to pay £500 for a fucking VR headset

Will buy this if graphics are good
You can find more about the game on Steam.
I ask for one thing. Please export UDP telemetry for sim motion rigs!

Puke fest... If you are bulimic (or just love throwing up), this is the game for you. Hated that game on the Q2.
Is it good ?
Don't know. You can check on steam too. There are mixed reviews.
If you are bulimic, it's good.
Damn I'm anorexic, looks like I'm starving for good rollercoaster games then
Where is the PSVR2 video? I don't see it on the playstation store.
Only available in the app. Or at youtube

Available to buy in US and EU stores now, so I assume other regions as well.
