Throttle Powah: VR racing with unique locomotion and Rocket League style gameplay
15Gameplay from Throttle Powah, a VR racing game where you control a set of wheels using motion controls.
Throttle Powah is a $9.99 VR game that supports the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift with Touch. You use VR motion controls and roomscale to control a set of wheels that propel you through a large map with platforming elements and time trial racetracks. You can race online against other players, or just maneuver and free roam around the map to mess around with the cool VR locomotion method. It also has a Rocket League style stadium where you can try and knock a ball into one of the goals and ride on the walls.
Official game description of Throttle Powah from Steam:
"Throttle Powah is a fresh new VR racing, maneuver and freestyle experience.
Each controller is a monowheel motorized rocket. You have freedom to race and perform freestyle jumps and maneuvers in VR using the physics principle of sports like snowboard, skate and motocross.
Open World Map
Throttle Powah is in early stages of development but has a big open world map with lot's of tracks, ramps, soccer arena and crazy circuits.
It will be better, most 3D models and Texture are still placeholder or work in progress.
Multiplayer
Connect to 3 different servers: North America, Europe and South America. Play together, chase, release smoke in their face, race online and score your time on online leaderboards.
Concept
There are almost no VR racing games out there that makes use of the controller to transform the player into the vehicle, so Throttle Powah was born to fulfill it's destiny by presenting what can be done with VR technology.
Platform
Throttle Powah is currently only for HTC Vive.
Hardcore
It's also directed to experienced VR players and can cause motion sickness (especially while using grip buttons to perform freestyle maneuvers).
Bugs and Glitches
No prediction on the multiplayer ball (the green one), so you will always see it delayed compared to where it really is.
Wheels will sometimes visually flick, it's a known bug, but nothing really serious."
