For those of you who have been following Esports for a while, you probably already know that the future of competitive gaming lies in virtual reality. The ability to watch games in virtual reality is already being explored heavily within the gaming industry, and the largest gaming companies are working on virtual reality content. While we still have a ways to go in the VR industry, many companies are already looking to integrate virtual reality into their existing gaming strategies in order to take their audience from arcade violence to virtual reality.
With the growing popularity of eSports and virtual reality gaming, we have a new opportunity. Let’s take an look at the most realistic simulators that have the potential to take your favorite Esports game and take it to a whole new level.
What is Simulation?
As we all know, eSports is a high-intensity, competitive sport where teams use virtual reality as their only source of transportation. Since the release of Virtual Boy in 1987, the popularity of competitive gaming in virtual reality has grown exponentially. To date there are over 50 million active users of virtual reality in the world, making it one of the most popular forms of media.
Goal of Simulators
Let’s be clear on what this article is about, shall we? The goal of realistic simulators is to provide a realistic representation of the real-life activities of teams and players in competitive competitive gaming. To do this, the manufacturers of realistic software have spent months researching the best way to model real-life gameplay.
The result is a range of different types of simulators that provide a wide range of different levels of realism. From hands-on experiences where you walk the player and interact with the controls every day to virtual reality experiences where you sit in a virtual reality (VR) helmet and watch the game from a first-person perspective.
What is the Difference Between Simulators and Actual Games?
First and foremost, you need to consider the type of game you’re playing. VR games usually have a much harder difficulty curve than traditional games, which often require you to memorize button presses and hold the screen for you to use. This will require a serious gaming skill set, which can get tricky when playing with a family or on a business trip.
Some games, like Call of Duty: Ghosts, are easy to pick up and play, but others, like NBA 2K19, require a lot of strategy and strategic thinking. This means that you’ll need to have a high level of skill in order to pick up an NBA 2K19 game. This will require you to know how to use the controls, study the game and its characters, and remember which steps are worth taking.
How to Play Simulators?
There are a few general things you should keep in mind when you’re looking at playing realistic simulators:
Make sure your game is Cross-Browser compatible. VR games will work on mobile devices, and vice versa. Make sure you’re using the latest version of an application. It doesn’t matter if you’re playing a first-person shooter or a sugar bun VR game, it will work the same.
Conclusion
VR is still very new and has lots of ground to make up in terms of adoption and review. However, the following are some highlights from the industry that show that the technology is already making an impact. With the release of Vive and Daydream, Microsoft is hoping to establish a clear path for developers as they work to bring VR and Super Bowl dominance to their platform.
With the industry seemingly heading in the right direction, it’s easy to see why VR should be a major player in competitive gaming. With the rise of competing technologies and the need for more competition, the future of virtual reality in competitive gaming is going to be very interesting indeed.
