Must-Have Experiences in the DK2

Elite : Dangerous This list begins with a game that is extraordinary even outside of the DK2,
With incredible graphics, 50+ systems, Advanced landing scenarious and an incredible Dev team
You don't want to miss out on experiencing this in VR!
Note; Some people have reportedly shed a tear upon seeing this beauty in VR!

- Link; Will add links when home from work, damned blockers!

Helix Rollercoaster A game that was brilliant even in DK1 has only gotten better with DK2,
An immersive and built to scale replica of an incredible rollercoaster with great soundtrack
and the ability to repeat as many times as you like by returning to the station, this is well
worth your time!

- Link; Will add links when home from work, damned blockers!

Cyber Space is a rollercoaster that is graphically amazing and gives you the immersion of Sitting in it and get shot in the Air.
*thank you Arcon

Technolust is an awesome Techdemo in a futuristic neon city with some cyberpunk elements. Kinda an Adventure Game but within its atmospheric brilliant immersion.
*thank you Arcon

Couch Knights A game made in the Unreal 4 Engine, availalbe to all who download the engine in the startup / marketplace menu. Play as a guy sat on a couch with a controller in their hand (just like real life). The trick is to watch as a realistic lounge scene is torn apart by little chibi knights you control to kill one another! Capable of networking with one other player for assured Multiplayer Mayhem!

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
I have been spending more and more time with my fellow devs on these forums and have wanted to offer something usefull to all of you for some time. I realise a thread or two like this may already exist, however none of them have remained near the top of the page for very long.

With your help I want to compile a list that holds all of the best experiences around for the DK2, game like Elite Dangerous, where just looking around the inside of a station has brought a tear to many eyes already.

If you have the time, please just take a minute out of your day to post the name of the game, a link to either it's website or to the download, and a short review with a few pros and cons.

Thank you for contributing to this amazing virtual world!

I get major stuttering in elite dangerous and technolust. Am I the only one?


A lot of people have reported stuttering in Elite:Dangerous, however some people have claimed that by adjusting quality down to medium, having vsync on and a couple of other things can make the game a lot less stuttery 😃 I will try to find a link to one of these threads.

Yes the stuttering is caused by low frame rate. I have a GTX 680 and have to play at 1280x720 at low settings in order to maintain 75 fps. I think the game is currently poorly optimized, hopefully it will be improved with better SDK & drivers.

ocean Rift

Experience the thrills of deepsea diving, from the incredibly detailed moray eel to the imposing whale. As good as the visuals are, the sounds enhance the experience, so wear a headset. The feeling of truly being underwater when you look up at the distant surface is nailed on (dont go to the surface as that spoils the illusion).

Once you are done head to the deeper waters and you are in for a special treat.

This is potentially could easily be the start of a promising commercial piece of software imo.

alone in the rift
http://goo.gl/wDazcF

You start off in the middle of some woodland. follow the path and soak in the sinister ambience,...... what is that? A small hut in the distance? Surely that must be a safe haven?

(imo dont google video either of them just put rift in extended mode and then play the direct to rift exe!!)


there are others but these are my 2 faves not already listed

ps is that not what this forum is for?

For Problems you should post in the Threads that are made for games/bug report.

In this Thread we should focus only for the "must-have-played" list - like mentioned by the OP.

cheers.

War Thunder - Free to play flight combat game that can be played as an arcadey flier or as a more involved sim. Great graphics and physics. Full integration with most HOTAS setups.

It's not low frame rate for me. 75fps, and if I hold me head still, everything moves smoothly. It's just the head tracking that's slow.

Oh no, GTX 680, low details and 1280x720 to maintain 75 fps? How much do you have without Rift "2d mode"? I will receive my DK2 tomorrow and I have GTX 770 OC. It's nearly same card. Without rift in 1920x1080 high details, FXAA, ambient oclusion + bloom off I am achieving 115 fps +- 10 in first single player mision.
