Touring Karts

Just picked up the game, played 3 levels. The over all polish of the game is really not expected in what we get with VR. Tons of things to unlock, clever progression mechanics (weapon fusions), tons of vehicles, 22 tracks (as of now), extremely professionally designed look and feel. And that's before talking about the racing itself. So far, the game really shines on the faster difficulties, where drifting feels more natural. easier difficulty makes drifting feel forced. hitting ramps lets you slowly glide down, passing over and even landing on your opponents. The variety of controller support is impressive, with very few VR racers utilizing the higher ends wheels. Being able to steer while using a controller to shoot weapons is certainly unique in the world of VR. There also seems to be randomly themed "attacks" on the track that shake up races that you've already done over and over... making the old feel fresh again. I'd say the only downside is the Vive controllers themselves. Stee...

I understand how much work goes into developing a game and the developer(s) of Touring Karts have done a decent job, especially for this low sale price. But I have a few issues with it that I have to point out for other's who may be curious. The most influential of all is the fun factor, after spending quite a bit of time getting everything set up, I didn't enjoy playing the game. The tracks are way too short and the physics don't feel right at all. The hardware I'm using: Valve Index, Fanatec CSL Elite wheel, Fanatec Clubsport V3 pedals, DOF Reality P6 motion simulator. AMD 3800x, RTX 2080ti Black, 16GB Trident Z Royal, 2TB M.2 Samsung EVO. VR: At first, the Valve Index controllers weren't tracking at all in the menus. After restarting the PC, tracking started working. Otherwise the VR part of this game works just fine for me. One comment about performance, the game did feel smooth but I was getting 80 to 100 FPS with a 2080ti Black (Valve Index on 144hz mode). Sim Racing Hardwa...

I bought this on the back of the good reviews. The graphics are pretty bland, to say the least. The racing car physics are pretty primitive. I believe I'm quite tolerant to nausea inducing experiences, but this one I faultered badly. I've been using VR for the last 4 years and the only time I've felt this nauseous was controlling a helicopter for the first time in DCS. I was expecting something fun to play with friends. I didn't find that here, I'm afraid. Steam logged 6.4 hours of gameplay, despite me shutting it down after half an hour. Beware, if you decide on a refund.

TLDR: This game is a MUST BUY for all kart racing fans! This offers SO MUCH for so little $. Is it like Mario Kart? It's got all the great things you love about Mario Kart, but in VR! I played with Valve Index and Logitech G29 Steering wheel and pedal set and it was fantastic. I also tried playing the game with an Xbox One controller and that worked great too. The game includes 22 tracks with Normal, Hard, and Professional difficulty cups to complete. The A.I. is just as good as Mario Kart and just as challenging. If you are good at Mario Kart then you'll be good at this game, it just takes a couple of races to get the hang of things but you'll be an expert in no time at all. The game also lets you upgrade your kart, so you can customize it with rims, exhaust, wings, hood ornaments, horn sounds, drifting effects, and much more. There's so much to unlock in this game and it's so much fun. I played the online multiplayer and it works great. You first start out with warm-up time (wh...

HECK YES! :D This game is FUN! I am definitely going to be playing this a lot. My first experience was beyond what I expected and the BGM compliments it perfectly. The game ran great on my WMR, Odyssey Plus. I only wish the tracks were longer but it is still so much fun. Especially when I got the GIANT HAMMER and was was waving my arm around smashing everyone near me. And the CHICKEN! HAHA! Throwing that at the other drivers... ROFL! XD This game is going in my VR favorites list. ^^ I uploaded some gameplay if you are interested to see how it plays: https://youtu.be/5TsUr-pXNJE

A basic karting game at best It's usage or Rift controllers is to map one to a joystick, i.e. this is not VR driving It runs smooth (frames and headset), but that's about the best I can say [Edit] Thanks for coming back. The controllers are set to Rift, and the left hand operates steering like a joystick (tilt left right) not a steering wheel, feels very odd lol

Touring Karts takes a lot of the fun mechanics from Mario Kart, but puts them into a title that supports VR and even has telemetry data to support motion simulators like the Yaw VR via Yaw Game Engine with minimal effort. Just calibrate and start up your Yaw, run SteamVR, then click start plugin on the Yaw VR Game Engine. Best Yaw VR settings: Pitch Forward: 14 Pitch Backward: 18 Roll: 15 Power: 72 Yaw: Limit to 30

this game was extremely underwelming the karts were too slow and was very boring

Does not work with Valve Index. First start no controllers detected. After that crash back to destop at starting the game Refund

Physics arn't right, graphics are not great and playability is way behind of games like Team Sonic Racing and, of course, Mario Kart. In conclusion, I don feel it is so much fun as it is right now. Maybe it would improve over time (I will update my review if it happens), but right know I don't think it is worth.
