Time Machine VR

Would you like to marvel at the massive marine beasts of the past? I know I would. I jumped at the chance at trying this interactive learning experience. Instead After a few hours exploring Im dissapointed at how badly the scanning system, which is the core "game play" mechanic in "Time Machine VR" has been implimented. After the 10th time trying to scan and capture the feeding behaviour of a massive sea beast that I was clearly scanning, but for some (unexplained) reason Time Machine VR was telling me I wasnt, had me exiting in frustration. Couple this with every gamer's nightmare, the unskippable exposition scene! and I was wondering A: had these guys played a game before never mind developing one and B: why these eye rollingly rudimentary problems are following us into the brave new world of VR and stinking it up like 200 tons for rotting dino-fish. Not polished enough to recommend but nice models and animations are worth seeing, just not at this price, so just try the demo inste...

Wow this little game was simply STUNNING !!! I felt so immersed when playing this with Oculus Rift Dk 2 headtracking was buttery smooth, the graphics looks very nice, sunrays shining true the ocean. A very very plesant experience. http://youtu.be/Jr9eo0gFBoM

Having spent the past 15 years of my life sculpting life-size dinosaurs for theme parks it's fair to say I'm quite the fan of prehistoric monsters so buying this game was a no brainer. Time Machine VR is pretty much everything I want from a VR experience being both educational and thrilling (seriously the Pilosaurus scares the crap outta me). The headtracking is very smooth and I haven't experienced any nausea. As it's early access there are a few bugs here and there but doesn't detract from the experience, also runs great on my modest GTX680. Overall it's been one of my favourite experiences so far on the DK2 and well worth the asking price. Eagerly looking forward to what future updates bring.

It's a really great concept, educational and fun, however if you suffer from motion sickness this may be one to avoid. I've played most of the top titles available on the Vive and haven't suffered motion sickness on any until now. After 20 mins of playing and thoroughly enjoying the game the motion sickness started. I believe it's due to the game being seated and the gliding motion of the pod. I'm still very keen to play the game and will probably stick to one mission at a time.

Not worth 30$.....this is a demo....wrapped up in a shiny box. That aside, it is a ncie demo, works well and runs fairly well too.

This is one of those games / demos that you'll use to showcase your Oculus Rift. It's extremely pollished which great visuals and audio. I did a quick gameplay video (linked below), but to summarise that : PROS Extremely immersive - a showcase Oculus demo for 2015 Attention to detail Graphics are atmospheric and claustrophobic Audio production - great narration CONS Requires a game controller The scanning menus are ugly Not too much to do yet - more a demo than a game Too short - will get longer (early access) Felt a little nauseous with the DK2 Oculus gameplay footage : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sPDh1pHh1U

This game has been a fantastic introction for me to VR and i am becoming quite a proficiant mini sub pilot. The VR graphics are amazing, a real sense of actually being there with all the vulnerability that would accompany that. It can also be a great tool for people who suffer from a fear of heights and want a program that de sensitises them.I have discovered that the Time Machine VR game is great for getting the old acrophobia going. When you are at the base station which is sometime in the future there is a building made from steel girders etc with towers supporting satelite dishes. Land the pod at the front or back of the building then get out of the pod by simply standing up ( for this game you are seated) then take a step forward. From then on it feels like you are standing outside. Then using the controls on the X Box controller move straight up slowly to the roof of the building, it feels like you are on an elevator platform and totally exposed. If you have a fear of heights i ...

Its a good game, not great due to a few factors (Vive related). I would recommend it though. Pro: Pretty good looking game, although no AA. I understand they are worried about frame level droppage. Re-allignment is easy since its not a room scale game Cons: I don't like that when you load it drops back to the HTC Vive main room. You should keep the user in the game at all times even when loading. Just show a picture of one of the creatures or something. The controls for the HTC (touchpad right side mainly) are not accurate enough. You should give the user an option to calibrate. Driving the pod takes some getting use to. I want to move my hands to far in each direction You don't let the user explore, or if I'm lost trying to find the pad you say "Out of area" and throw us back at the start. We are capable of going out far and we are sure capable of back tracking :) don't take the freedom away from the user. Its still fun to explore and I'm sure any dino loving k...

The game seems very promising, however when I played this with the DK2 I got absolutely sick as a dog. Not everyone has the same tolerance, but if your like me and your quite sensitive to VR sickness then be warned that this game might make you sick. I'll try it again on CV1/Vive...

This is a really cool game. I love how I can analyze old underwater monsters and its extremely scary to do so. The textures on the ground surfaces can be pretty bad but at the same time this is VR and because it's VR it still looks cool. Of course this is early access and there are hud issues including not being able to press continue when I pause the game for a while. Also there are numerous collision issue. This is forgivable though.
