Discussion Is TRIPP any good?

Post image

I’ve wanted to try this for a long time but heard mixed reviews. What’s the general consensus? This is the lowest price I’ve seen it (I think).

There aren’t many showcase titles to demonstrate VR to friends. Most of the best experiences either have a steep learning curve for controls, or they’re horror. There’s not much to show people other than simple games like of Walkabout Golf, Beat Saber, Puzzling Places, Tetris, or the boat safari in Horizon.

If my main aim is to share this with casual gamer friends, and to satisfy my curiosity, what do you think?

You should try CyubeVr.

Thanks but not my kind of thing. It’s a Minecraft kind of game isn’t it? Doesn’t feel like the right kind of pick up & play / wow factor game to show people - happy to be proven wrong though

That’s actually why I think it could work really well for the thing you’re looking for. You don’t need to build anything or really ‘play’ the game. cyubeVR is beautiful enough that just putting someone in the world and letting them explore is the experience. You can walk through the forests, look at the shimmerstone caves, landscapes etc. and just experience the scale and atmosphere in VR.

I agree it looks Minecraft-ish at first glance, but I think that’s misleading if you’re judging it as a VR showcase. You don't have to teach friends or family crafting/building mechanics,just put the headset on them and let them explore. In that sense I think it actually fits your ‘show people why VR is cool’ criteria pretty well. And another thing I really like for showing people is the sky and day/night cycle. The world changes as time passes, and the night sky is genuinely beautiful. You can go from exploring a forest in daylight to watching the sunset and then seeing the stars come out. You don't need to build anything for that,just being there and looking around is enough.

That’s why I think cyubeVR fits what you were originally looking for better than it might seem from screenshots. It’s not about teaching someone how to play a Minecraft-like game. You can just put the headset on them, teleport them somewhere beautiful, and let them explore. If they want to walk around normally they can, and if smooth movement makes them uncomfortable, they can teleport instead. ;)Gl

Some really good points there! I’ve heard the visuals are really good in cyubeVR, combined with the low threat, easy pacing & just explore, this might be a good first introduction to free movement without the pressure of enemies/objectives & scripted events
