X Rebirth VR Edition: Motion control space sim gameplay and first impressions with HTC Vive
195Gameplay from X Rebirth VR, a space simulation game that was fully converted for VR, including motion control support.
X Rebirth VR Edition is a $39.99 VR space sim game where you fly through a universe with a fully simulated economy and try to make money to upgrade your ship, build a fleet and hire crew, and go through a campaign of missions. The game supports VR with the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift with Touch, it also supports regular monitor play and seamless switching between VR/PC. You can use VR motion controls to control your ship and menus, or HOTAS, gamepad, or mouse and keyboard. In this video I show off the motion control flying using the HTC Vive VR motion controllers.
X Rebirth VR Edition is currently in Early Access, the current price is $39.99 but it will go up with the full release of X Rebirth VR.
