In DriveClub, the game/simulator
defaults you to a 1st-person point of view, which I liked the most. I
couldn't see my entire body, but I could see my VR hands on the wheel
and they responded as I moved them. I could look around me and see
the interior of the car, and the view outside my car was framed by
the unique window view of each car I drove. One of my favorite cars
was a concept car that was a convertible, because it had the best
view of the surrounding area. Driving at high speeds in VR is very
exhilarating, and though I couldn't feel the air rushing past my
face, I did feel an interesting rushing sensation in my ears and
body. I never suffered VR sickness when sitting with the 1st
person interior view, but when I tried out the chase cam (which put
me in 3rd person view outside the car, floating slightly
above and behind it), I did get queasy fast and decided I wouldn't be
trying that again while my car was moving. Sometimes I'd take a
corner too fast or try to nudge my way past another competing car in
the race, and my vehicle would spin out of control. A year ago, I
lost control of my own car on a rainy road as I turned a sharp
corner, and my car spun around twice (nobody was injured and I only
scraped my bumper on the burm, thankfully!) Amazingly, though, I felt
that same exact sensation when I lost control of my virtual car in
DriveClub and spun out of control!
