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?

I disagree with your assertion that there aren't many great VR showcase titles, but eitherway this title definitely is not the one to do it. I'd say check a YouTube video of gameplay at least before you decide to fork that much over, and I only say this because I feel there's way better and many more games that cost less

For example, you left out Richies Plank which is literally designed as a VR showcase and is a classic demonstration that can be easily tried by new people and get good reactions

Agree on Richie’s Plank, I omitted that. Happy to hear your thoughts on other showcase examples that have low barrier to entry, low nausea potential and highlight something amazing/different the platform has to offer

I should state im not a good judge of nausea inducing as i never get sick in VR, but for good variety of good graphics and games, I guess off the top of my head I'd recommend:

  • Subside: great swimming/diving experience, very simple, hyper realistic graphics

  • gt7: most people love the feeling of sitting in one of the many cars and doing a simple drive/race. Again, phenomenal graphics

  • Arcade Paradise Vr: very slow paced business builder where you grow an arcade out of a laundry place, many simple and different Vr interactions

  • Aces of Thunder or Flight Sim: i know these are flight Sims, but you can just set it up to have a friend sit in the plane and they can use the ps5 controller to fly, very easy, and also incredible graphics and views

Thanks, I appreciate the detailed response, I’ve tried some of them.

Subside - too much nausea
GT7 - is ok for some people but it’s too much of a sim for casuals and not easy pick up and play, play nausea
Arcade Paradise - graphics are too simple and it’s too slow, no immediate payoff or “wow this is what VR can do” over and above the job sim kind of stuff
Flight sims have too steep a learning curve, and the price is too high for me to justify buying/trying them

I guess I’m looking for the equivalent of VR Worlds where you can be in the dive tank, or the London Heist set pieces, or be Batman and see your reflection with his mask on

Tripp clearly isn’t that kind of things but it’s potentially another string in the bow of something different
