Magnificent Ships: Volume 1

Está bonito mas que nada por el Missouri. Teniendo VR se puede mirar hacia ariba, usando mouse no se puede hacer. Pero puedes moverte con libertad adonde desees de la parte extrena. Al menos se puede jugar con mouse y ratón.

From the same people who brought you "VROOM: GALLEON", this is essentially just a detailed 3D model of various ships with some added effects. Spending $10 on it might be a bit much since there's no game here, but each ship is pretty well modeled (on the exterior anyway) and you can even go below the water level to get a look at the hull, rudder and propellers/screws. You get 6 ships to choose from: a 16th century pirate ship (much like VROOM: Galleon), an Oil Tanker, a Navy Submarine, Iowa class battleship, a Zumwalt class Destroyer, and the Queen Mary 1. Some of the textures could use some work, but overall it's still pretty neat. You can change the time of day/night which is nice and for each ship there's an extra event you can trigger that sorta demonstrates some of it's power and abilities. You can also sail a mini Remote Control version of it around a small pond (complete with mermaid). There's also a camera on board the RC version so you can have a view off the deck of your mini ship as you sail it around. For some added fun, sail your ship under the mermaid in the pond. It's pretty much the same thing as Magnificent Ships: Volume 2, and I actually reviewed that one first (so you can just check out the review there for more info rather than me copy-pasting it here). I recommend picking this up on sale, because I think $10 is a bit much for each one given that there's only so much you can do with it right now. The Graphics are pretty good for what it is, but it seems like some things are well detailed and other are just kinda bare-bones. I'm sure some of that is due to the level of access needed to produce a high detailed model of active military hardware, but in the cases where they COULD provide more detail (like on decommissioned WWII battleships) it would really elevate this from "neat" to "awesome". I'd like to see them add more information about each ship and make it more educational, but it's worth at least $1 per ship.

It's cool. The VR movement is a bit dated I feel, teleportation, or smooth motion would arguably be preferable, but that is personal preference. A bit more interactivity would be nice, not asking the entire ship be modeled inside (far too much work!) but perhaps the bridge on each would be good, or the guns at least. All in all though, a nice chilled experience.

[h1]Nice Experience, Would Love a Snap-Turn[/h1] Played on Oculus Rift CV1 with Touch controllers. I don't have a particular interest in ships or maritime history, so I was reluctant to pick this up. Since I like casual VR experiences, and all the reviews are positive, I thought I'd give this one a try. I purchased a bundle (Volumes 1 and 2). The wave effects and time of day changes are excellent. I wouldn't mind a little more resolution on some of the ship textures, but they still look good. I have really enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset from several of the ships. I also had fun playing with the model ships in the park. My only major complaint is the lack of a snap-turn option. I have 360 tracking, but I'm still tethered. Few things break immersion more than constant worry about a wire tangling and twisting. The fact that the joystick is used to toggle between ships made it more frustrating- I accidentally tried to snap-turn on more than one occasion and found myself looking at an entirely different boat. I like the existing trigger and point movement, but a snap-turn would be a huge enhancement to the controls. It would make navigating on and around the boats much more natural and enjoyable. Outside of this one complaint, I found it to be a pleasant experience and will probably revisit the boats often.

it gud

i hate this game.
