Update Speculation thread

Let's hope not...

 

Thats kinda short, ngl. I'm hoping for an adjustable slider. I want to hit my head on car lifts in BeamNG like its real life.

Its highly unlikely, but maybe we are getting VR support with an interactive environment? Like actually needing to pick up food/car parts/tools in VR with your hands.

 

This is probably how it is going to be. You people are asking too much out of something that extends far beyond the scope of the game. At best it is going to be like getting out of cars was on ROR.

 

VR support is incredibly taxing... i wouldn't expect that anytime soon...

 

What is it exactly?

 

uncomment it now and try it out

 

New campaign coming to the game

 

That's been in the files for ages. It seems to be a mission type for career mode, possibly similar to the unreleased jri bus tour scenario.

 

That line can be found in the menus, in the campaign a rocky start.

 

I don't expect it at all. Its just the only thing I can think of that would be "technically complex and different" like Diamondback said.

 

Yeah iirc it has to render everything twice, once for each eye?

 

Not only must it be rendered twice but also at high enough FPS to not make you sick.

Now that we just got tripple monitor support (is there head tracking device support too?..) I assume VR is very low priority, as much as sim racing snobs want it

 

I imagine VR will get pretty nauseating in high speed crashes anyway.

 

I think that is taller than average because the average height for men is 1.7374m, or about 5 foot 8.5 inches. For women, it is 1.585m, or about 5 foot 2.5 inches.

 

It was a half joke. It would be nice to have a slider so you can set your own height into the game for a walking mode. In other games like GTA, I always feel like something is off that breaks immersion in first person, and usually its because the character is nearly half a foot shorter than I am.

 

Just walk on your knees IRL, problem solved

OT: I'm not sure what would be complicated about a simple first person, since that would just be the current free cam without the ability to change the height and a bobbing effect. Even the ability to open doors would just be an expansion of what we already have with cargo doors/D-Series tailgate. Maybe we will see effects added to the driver cam? I think it was NFS Shift that did this. Arms could be another point of complication.

 

BeamNG is alot more taxing on CPU than GPU as (aside from dynamic reflections and whatever) it isnt very graphically intense. As VR is basically just running 1 or 2 (depending on your headset) 1440p screen/s with some logic for head movement I assume it wouldnt be too taxing as BeamNG runs alot better than it used to. Infact there are afew older videos of BeamNG being "force" run in VR so it can be done. Infact it seems like a good idea, even if it was implimented rather rudimentary at first

Plus even simple official VR support would be pretty good PR for the game (especially on steam)
