I just bought this game for my DK2... HOLY CRAP. A third person vehicle game can be beyond comprehension in VR.
The only game i'm excited for is World of Warships, and playing BlazeRush absolutely blew my mind. There is a sense of presence because of the convincing scale that is complete. I cannot imagine how insanely good World of Warships would be in the oculus.
The device (oculus rift) seems like it would be best suited for FPS games, but the quality it takes on as 3rd person viewer is hard to describe. Its JAW DROPPING. The sense of presence is astonishing. Even moderately detailed objects, in low resolution, because your mind expects them to be distant, appear real. If you can remember what it was like as a child to play with a toy-- its that. You know it isn't an actual car, but its real to you in every way that matters. You can look at it from every angle, and more importantly you modify what you see naturally, like you are in your own environment. By removing the need to independently control the camera and naturally seeing what you want to see, well it is incomprehensibly liberating. World of Warships would feel insanely real.
First person may someday be the best VR experience, but right now you can have a convincing 3rd person experience that transcends everything else. In BlazeRush the explosions were breath taking... i'd fall off the track because I was flabbergasted by what I was seeing. And these explosions are dinky as hell on a regular monitor.
World of Warships, if they took a moment to make sure you could super sample it, and added good tracking, would become an invincible icon in 3D. If a dinky, cheesy, arcade racer can blow minds in the DK2 then a proper World of Warships implementation would make headlines.
World of warships could be a defining cornerstone of the next major gaming technology, I guarantee it. If you have any doubts, play BlazeRush. There is no possible way that if you've played this well configured 3rd person vehicle game in the Rift that you could argue World of Warships could be a TECHNOLOGY defining, mandatory, mine-craft dwarfing experience.
