To someone who can’t afford a motorbike, can’t ride their bike or just wants a bit of indoor fun this sounds pretty exciting, to add to the realistic feel the player wears a “gaming jacket” that will mimic the vibrations and other sensations of actually riding on a super cross track or across hills and dales.

Riders got the choose from two environments, Dirt Ace where you can tear up a super cross track or Hill n Dale where you find yourself testing your skills racing against the forces of nature. Sadly there isn’t a massive demand for motorbike games at the moment so most of the VR games we found are in early stages and aren’t that well known, but you still get a great kick out of playing them.Īt the Auto Expo 2016 Nextwave created a 3D VR racing stall using real TVS RTR bikes rigged up to the controls that gave the rider an extremely realistic effect. So we have delved into the internet and found some examples of biking games that throw us into the next generation of gaming, from realistic next gen VR games from the likes of Nextwave to games you can play in your living room with your phone. So when I learnt about the few motorbike games available on VR I was extremely excited to see what they had to offer and if they could stand up to the likes of games from my childhood. There have been some great motorbike games in the past like Road Rash on the Nintendo 64 and Ride from Namco Bandai and let’s not forget the numerous arcade games that for me are a part of my childhood now. Gamers can now live the game instead of just play it which is pretty exciting! Horror games have been taken to another level, VR headsets can drop right into the middle of a zombie apocalypse or a haunted mansion and it’s truly terrifying (if you don’t believe me just watch this video of a young lady playing “The Brock Haven Experiment” on the HTC Vive.)īut it’s not just a bit of technology for action or horror gaming, the immersive VR experience is a great way to enjoy biking in your living room. Virtual reality motorbike games have burst on to the scene this year with the release of the Oculus Rift, the HTC Vive, Samsung Gear VR and more.
