My RC Buggy! VR

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] So while everyone is getting Budget Cuts, this is low key the best deal on the Steam VR page. I was amazed at the amount of content and polish this game had at the price of .99 cents. My jaw is literally on the floor right now because I am so surprised by how good this game is. A lot of love and attention to detail went into this game. You can tell the dev is a fan of RC racing and just gets it as far as translating that experience into VR. Chun Y., whoever you are, amazing job dude! So I've been playing for 30 minutes and I still don't know how many tracks this game has. I think I'm at 15 and counting. Each track, although there's only so many combinations you can make, feels different. The dev did a great job at varying the tracks little by little so that each one feels different. Some more than others, but you want to get to the next race just to see what's there. Yes, there's ramps. Yes, there's straight oval loops. Yes there's obstacles. Yes, there are all kind of twists and turns. Even the crash physics are pretty good. You're obviously going for 1st place but the next race is already unlocked no matter what so that's a good decision by the dev, although, I wish there was a way to select a track from a list. But that's not all. You can customize your RC racer. And they are not just cosmetic. You're not just painting your RC from blue to red ... the mods actually improve your performance. Whether it's that they go faster or they have better grip or better aerodynamics. And you feel those differences out on the race track so that it's not just the new race tracks that you're excited to race, but trying your new modified RC racer on that track. The game ran smoothly for me. You can teleport around to get a different vantage point of your RC racer from a limited area on or near the track. The RC control felt perfect on the Oculus Touch Controllers, but I'm not sure how they would feel on the HTC Vive wands. Having that joystick really improves accuracy. My critiques are pretty small. There are no leaderboards. That would be an awesome addition to this game. Also, there's very limited sounds within the game. I would have loved to hear the sound of the little engines racing around and an option for music. Rate 8/10. If the above two requests are added, this would have been a 9/10. It's so much fun and a must download for any RC fan!

Very good RC racing game with a lot of content for little money! I didn't expect the Vive-controllers to be a good solution to steer a RC car, but this game proves me wrong - it is indeed a lot of fun and easy to learn! However, I'd be more than happy to spend more money for this game if the following issues were addressed: [ review updated after first update to game ] [ Fixed in first update! 1) Please add some sounds to the racing cars. Even if it is just a standard bzzzzzz-sound with spatial audio it would add a great part to the game! ] 2) Please add a menu to select which track to drive. 3) Please add some measurements for the lap and total time and at least a local high score. The CPU-controlled opponents are nice, but it would add a lot to the replay value if you could race against your own best time. 4) Please add an option to restart an ongoing race, if you feel like you screwed up too much and want to restart. 5) There seems to be a penalty if you do not stay on the track. It would be nice if the checkpoints/zones could be visualized and so you know in advance that you missed a checkpoint and not have to wait for the finishing line to figure out whether you get a penalty or not. 6) Please add the option to start the race from any position on the map. On some tracks I'd like to enjoy the race from a different position and needing to stand near the traffic light to start the race and teleport right after the start makes it unneccessary complicated. [ Fully working, see clarification by Choon - you can really build your own "rocket on wheels"! 7) Tuning seems to be broken. On the screenshot on the storepage I see that the laptop can display different values for speed, accel and so on but in the game there are no such values and all chances to the RC car only change the visuals. However I like that you need to master a level to get access to some tuning kits! ] [ Fixed in first update! 8) The visuals of the game are simplistic but are doing a great job. However it would be nice to add at least a blob shadow to the RC cars (with almost no performance impact) to add some sort of depth to the cars and they don't appear to be floating. ] [ Fixed in first update! 9) Just a minor thing: Cube B has a bug: you get 3 starts for driving "3 laps", "3 laps" or "3 lap" and thus you get 3 stars just for driving 2nd on the first and only lap (I've got a screenshot if it helps to clearify what I mean). ]

My RC Buggy! VR bringt die gute alte "Carrerabahn" in die VR (getestet mit der HTC Vive) Gleich vorab, die geringe Spielzeit hat nichts mit dem Spiel zu tun, sondern mit meinen Controllern, die sich gelegentlich weigern nach rechts zu fahren...(was hier sehr störend sein kann ;)) Zu beginn des Spiels stellen wir unseren Rennwagen zusammen. Dazu stehen uns am Anfang noch relativ wenig Teile zur Verfügung, nach abgeschlossenen Rennen bekommen wir nach und nach bessere Ausrüstung. Auf einem Schreibtisch basteln wir unseren Wagen, an einem Laptop können wir die Veränderungen durch die Upgrades einsehen. (z.B. besserer Grip bei Reifen, stärkerer Motor...) Durch die Wohnung bewegen wir uns per Teleport, wir können uns auch nur in bestimmte Bereiche teleportieren. Haben wir unseren Wagen zusammengestellt geht es auch schon auf die Rennstrecke. Gegen 3 Computergegner (oder auch einen Mitspieler, zur Zeit in der Beta) fahren wir unsere Runden. Wenn wir die Strecke zu sehr abkürzen, müssen wir eine Strafrunde fahren. Haben wir alle Rennen auf einer Strecke gewonnen, bekommen wir bessere Teile für unser Auto und schalten eine neue Strecke frei. Zur Steuerung reicht ein Controller, mit Trigger geben wir Gas, mit dem Touchpad lenken wir und können bremsen. Die Teleportfunktion liegt auf den Griptasten. Hier darf man jetzt aber keine Mega-Rennsimulation erwarten. Man zieht seine Runden, schiebt auch mal einen Gegner von der Bahn und versucht halt als erster ins Ziel zu kommen. Die Grafik erfüllt hierbei ihren Zweck, die Steuerung funktioniert soweit gut (erinnert vom Fahrverhalten wirklich ein wenig an die Carrerabahn) und auch Fehler sind mir nicht aufgefallen. Leider kann man keine eigenen Strecken erstellen, das wäre noch der Hit! Für den Preis auf jeden Fall in Ordnung, wenn ich mal neue Controller kaufe, werde ich sicher auch noch das ein oder andere Rennen mehr machen. Von daher gebe ich einen Daumen rauf.

VRでRCを操作するという発想に目からうろこ。 100円という駄菓子感覚で買えるゲーム シンプルで面白い。 マシンカスタマイズができ、VRコントローラーでプロポのように操作できる。

A ton of fun for just $1! The game is packed with tracks and unlockable items to upgrade your car. For $1, it is a must-buy.

Meh, it's rather boring.

Decent VR RC racing game for the price. Only drawback is the silence during races, needs some car noises and maybe ambient sounds.

The transaction that you take by installing this game is so simple, for 0.99 you're getting an hour and a half of RC racing in VR. Do not anticipate multiplayer racing unless you have friends who are going into it with you, as the multiplayer community was dead the entire hour I was playing. In singleplayer, you start with a slow buggy and win components as you progress through the races. It didn't take long to unlock all of the parts and to find a build that I felt worked well. The racing is definitely more fun once the speed picks up, and honestly I wish the late game racing is how it started and that we went even faster for the late game. I always resent racing titles where you can full throttle your way to victory, although there are definitely tracks where you will be punished if you go full throttle with a full battery early on. Pick this up for yourself and for all of your friends who have vr headsets, you might only play it once but it's hard to imagine that that night wouldn't be worth the $5 or $6 it would cost you to get everyone involved
