"Ping-pong wave VR" evaluation: content is not rich only by table tennis ball

After the Rio 2016 Olympic Games was over, all the Chinese Olympic athletes were "a brave and brave man". After seeing the traditional Chinese strengths - the victory of the table tennis team, I believe that many people are eager to play two games. . But now that China is no longer the same, it is difficult for you to walk into the park to see the table tennis table, let alone find someone who can fight with you. So now is the time for VR games to play. More specifically, this is Ping Pong Waves VR on the HTC Vive.

Ping Pong Waves VR is a game that is still in the preemptive experience stage, so it can only be said to be a prototype. The basic functions of single and multiplayer were completed in the game but did not add much additional content. For example, there is only one scene for the entire game, and racket tables and the like cannot be customized. And it also lacks any schedule content. It's only a matter of playing rackets and table tennis balls, but for people who love ping-pong, this seems to be enough.

The game uses the characteristics of the Vive handle, so you really feel like playing table tennis again. You take a racquet gesture and the strength of your hit will affect your play. Although the opposite AI often makes some very strange counterattacks, more often it is like a serving machine. But when the war situation really unfolds, you can probably feel the same joy as real table tennis. Thanks to the HTC Vive's spatial orientation, you can jump around in front of the table. When you forget about everything, you can feel relieved to sweat a lot.

Of course, the premise of wanting to enjoy it all is that you like table tennis. If you never care and you don't play at all, then this game is meaningless to you. Because the game is very dependent on how you know how to play, VR games are more realistic in this respect rather than simply waving or pressing in a general direction. You will find that you are often abused by the simplest AI, simply because you have always played the ball on the table, or did not move the method at all, and you are caught off guard by computer counterattacks.

Even if you like playing table tennis, Ping Pong Waves VR won't make you excited too long. If you want to bring VR to two occasional occasions, it's a good plan. But if you want to play like a game, if you go in and indulge in a lot of time, then this game is completely impossible. As mentioned above, this is a preemptive game. In addition to the basic game core, other additional systems are not formed at all or even at all, so do not expect too much.

Therefore, in the face of this game, you have to ask yourself if you want a way to do it without going out in the sun every day. If so, you also have a HTC Vive device, so try this game. Maybe in the future updates, the game will add more interesting things.
