MMO in Virtual Reality

casyii

So I don't think there is a VR MMO out yet. Just a few days ago I found the game Orbus VR. It's currently at a pre-alpha stage, so far from complete but it still got me superrrr excited. They plan on releasing a full on MMORPG for VR players this year. I don't think I'll ever leave my house then

Looky at the first gameplay, if you're interested:

Who else owns a VR headset here and would love to play a MMO game that way?

There is; I am already playing one.

Orbus does look fun. I'm hoping they get to free moving soon as the only tedious thing seems to be player movement. I am ecstatic about a motion VR MMORPG. We probably won't get an HD deep feature one for a while but it will be worth the wait!

Yeah, moving around in an area takes a while in VR lol. Orbus is only in pre-alpha tho so they will probably polish it a lot more. But you're right, can't wait for a freakin awesome VR MMORPG.

Well, this isn't a  soon-to-release game or anything(it's just a one man project I believe), but it's a pretty neat example of what can be done...

YES YES YES YES. RO is my most #1 favourite MMO I've ever played. It was actually my first MMO from when I was younger. 

I bumped into this a few days ago. I hope it's still alive so I can try it out.

My vison is not great in one eye but perfect normal overall.  VR is blurry.  I am not sure if glasses will fix that.

check swifty's videos on youtube. he was able (dont know how) to run world of warcraft on htc vive - he was impressed. the world boss in westfall was HUGE. thats what he was saying.

Once VR takes off and there is a big enough userbase, then thats when we will see a VRMMO's, its still years away unfortunately, there are several games that allow you to view them using VR but they aren't really that good as yet.

Uh, except for the one I just listed, of course.

For anyone interested. There was another test a few days ago and they added quests, partying, a dungeon and new enemies. 

Here's a full multiplayer gameplay on both the Oculus Touch & HTC Vive:

when I have to choose between eating and a VR helm Its not worth even looking.. besides most VR helms do not take prescription glasses into account.

It will be awesome to play something like ESO or WoW in VR
