Hey, thanks so much! This video was lovely. I'm one of the devs. I make all of the art for the game. I really enjoyed watching what you did with all of the props that I built. Such a cool track!
I think this game has really great potential for the future. If you keep upgrading and adding things, you could have a long-lasting game. This video has gotten almost 9K views in less than 4 days. It became my first "viral" video. People my age (50 and up) LOVE slot cars, and a well-made game fulfils their childhood dreams. I have several ideas your team may be interested in.
@@Twowheelsandadream: I actually saw a year or go a RC racing game being worked on, but the company at that time said it would not be for the Oculus headsets. They released a different game for Oculus, but it didn't get enough purchases, so they said no to other games for it.
I'm finding more and more people 50 and up getting into VR. I'm guessing some of the reasons are we tend to have disposable income to spend on them. We are the very end of the "Boomers" and the beginnings of "Gen X", so our upbringing has kept us young at heart and our imaginations running wild. We (most) are also done with the "Wild & Crazy" antics of life and are settling down into a comfortable place to relax and have fun without excessive consumption of drugs and/or alcohol. Put this all together and we are perfect for VR like the Quest 2, Q3 & Q3S and beyond.
@@lloydgriffin546: As a kid in the 60's & 70's I was really into model railroading. I went to look into doing this again, and the prices are just crazy! I see there is a new game being created at this time where you actually learn to and get to drive a train (full size) which if done right could be cool. Maybe the same people who make the slot car game could do the same thing but replace it with train tracks and locomotives.
Thank you for viewing this video. I have no scrips, no editing, just a good old-fashioned recording with no A.I. or fakery. I try to post three new reviews each week and sometimes add things like "Hints & Tips" or "how to" videos to help people like me out in the world of VR.
This is super cool. I'm only 37, but got the track that was set up at my grandparents and had added a long elevated section, a downward twist, and all sorts of fun track pieces. This would take up much less space though.
I grew up on the Atari 2600. I had on from like 1977 to about 1981 or 82. In those few years I had a collection of well over 30 games and loved playing them. Then I became an adult and don't remember what happen to the 2600. I think I left it behind at the parents' house and they probably sold it in a garage sale. The Quest 2 was then my next home video game system. 30+ years in-between and now I am making up for the lost time with my new Quest 3. I have over 530 games/apps.
My first game was Pong, own a 2600 with like 60 titles (maybe more) Won 3 patches (type) you put on a jacket from Activision ( I think ) they were the only ones to have something like this back then (real patches ) you could send and get for doing a high score or more in there games. I have, Activision ( Flying Aces ) Game : Barnstorming, Commander Activision Federation Of Laser Blasters (round one) square one in order to get you needed 1,000,000 points, and The Activision Bucket Brigade ( Kaboom ). To get any of these patches you need to send a picture as proof to get the patch. If you want to see those patches just Google activision atari games patches ( the first ) website ( AtariAge ) hopefully be first it will be at lease and it will say : 2600 Activision Patch Gallery
@@Atarikidd: I remember Barnstorming on Atari. I don't remember being good at it. I'm hoping that some of those classic flat screen TV games would find their way to VR. I have played a Space Invaders, Asteroids, Breakthrough and a few other old Atari games in VR, but they are still basically flat screen games. I would love to see an Asteroids game where you are sitting in the cockpit of the spaceship blasting asteroids coming at you as well as a space alien ship trying to take you out.
@@Martin76x : They don't suggest taking it outside because if the sun touches the inside lenses at all, it could ruin the lenses permanently. Also, the excess heat would not be good for the insides of the headset. I have seen video of people playing outside, but it was normally in an area either covered or shaded by the house, trees or a fence. I wouldn't risk a $500 piece of tech like this, myself.
Neat augmented reality Idea! I’m late 50’s and had slot cars when I was a kid, and when I had kids of my own, it was too good an opportunity to pass, so I got my sons slot car sets too. Now my sons are in their late teens and have a Quest 2 headset, I’m wondering if I have a third opportunity now! I love the amount of detailing & customisation that the devs have put into this, very well done! My only negative feeling is that the way the car seems to respond to the controller seems a bit off to me, it looks ‘all or nothing’, like it’s hard to modulate the speed, & therefore control, of your car. Maybe, hopefully, there is some customisation available with how the cars respond to the controller.
When you go to buy it, the instructions say it can be played on the Quest 2, but I think your surrounding areas will be either black/gray and very grainy. I recorded on the Quest 3 for the color surroundings. I hope you find it as enjoyable as I do. I'm a all or nothing kind of person so that was my fault. You can gently squeeze the trigger and the car will go. The harder you squeeze in the faster it will go. The car also gains speed the longer you hold in the trigger. I played one tonight that was all loops and I have the problem of just squeezing the trigger all the way in until the car crashes. With the loops it just kept getting faster and faster going around and around. It was so fast that I could not even follow the car with my eyes. Eventually it finally flew off the track.
@ …..and that is what I meant, in real slot cars, they do not keep getting faster the longer you hold the trigger down. There is a top speed they reach when the trigger is held down. On a real slot car track, you would need a decently long straight to get to that top speed, but even if you had one 10x as long, you wouldn’t get any faster. That characteristic in the VR game seems wrong to me. Also, if I held the trigger half way down, in the real slot cars, you’d get a steady half speed on the track, but I suspect, from the way you have described it, that in the VR, if you held the throttle half way down you would not get to a half car speed, but the car would just continue to pick up speed but at maybe half the acceleration vs holding the trigger fully down. It’s like there is no real world physics involved in the calculation of vehicle speed, the trigger is just an accelerator and when held the car keeps accelerating at the rate the trigger is squeezed to. In real slot cars, the trigger is controlling the voltage reaching the motor in the car, usually, up to 12v max, that limits the top speed, as does the gearing used, friction, weight, aerodynamics, etc. This seeming lack of physics in the speed calc of the cars makes me wonder if there is any differences in the way different models of cars perform in the VR game. For example, in the real world a beginner might be better off with a heavier, lower centre of gravity car because it will be slower and less prone to coming off the track, but I suspect that there is little to no difference in the car handling in the VR game. It wasn’t just top speed, the way the cars slowed seemed too abrupt as well, like they didn’t have much momentum. I still think it looks like a great VR idea, but, I’d like to see a v2 where the modelling of the cars handling is significantly improved. It would be neat if you could import your own 3d models for cars and buildings & objects too. It would also be great if there was support in the track editor for multi lane layouts too, with cross over sections of track where you can switch your car from one slot to another, or continue on your own slot - real world slot cars have this now using digital chips in the car & PCM signals in the electrical feed in the track rails to the car so cars can remain independently controlled. Yeah, you are right, re the Quest 2, the pass through video of your surroundings is poor, just being black and white and very grainy. I’ve looked through a Quest 3 and was really impressed by how much better the pass through is. The pass through on Quest 2 is not a huge issue until you start looking at augmented reality games, where the game appears to be located within your real world surroundings, then the Quest 2 is really lacking. My son bought his Quest 2 secondhand, the 3 was out and on sale already, and we discussed if it was worth paying the extra for (but had not looked through either). Ultimately it came down to cost, the used quest 2 was about a third of the price, AND that neither of us had any experience with VR headsets, but my son was keen to get something to try it out, see what he thought about it, and a cheap quest 2 is good for that.
@@TheLDunn1: It's a new game and possibly the developers will make these little changes as it grows in popularity? I know other games makes changes as for what the people ask for.
I got a message from the developers of this game that answers your (mine) question about if other people see into your home while playing their game. Here it is: "As for the passthrough comment when in multiplayer - you'll be pleased to know no-one would see your room when you share a track or upload a track to online tracks in the game. Anyone joining you remotely would see your virtual track only and have the ability to position it in their home in the most optimal position" So, no one will see your house while playing your saved tracks or while playing with you on any track. They can only see the inside of your home if you record it and put it on the internet as I have.
Thank you algorithm. I saw the 50 and up in the name, and died laughing. Thought about doing something similar for driving Sims. Maybe this is where I can find out how well VR works for someone who's nearsighted and farsighted. If you mention that on a typical page, you get a flood of comments that are obviously from 15 to 20 year olds. One even told me that it cured myopia. I know two people that countersunk 36 inch tube into the wall. Mine was a 248 lb Sony😅
I wish I had an answer for you that was professional, but I am not an eye doctor. The best I can do is say, ask your eye specialist about it before buying a VR headset. If you wear glasses, many people including my wife play while wearing them. They give you (depending on which headset you buy) options that will make space for the glasses. Depending on the corrective lenses you need, there are companies who make game headset lenses that pop on and off with your prescription. So, then you do not have to wear any glasses, just pop them on and you're ready to go. I personally have trouble with small letters at a very long distance, but do not have problems when playing in VR. My wife has trifocals and wears them while playing.
There are many options available. The quest system is glasses friendly allowing you to wear them while playing. I'm 55 and play with them if needed. I also bought inserts that attach to the lenses with my prescription that eliminated the need for my glasses.
I'm 47, but it still manages to strike a nostalgic note.. I was missing the lane crossing piece (*1), so you can have cars change lanes every lap.. so both cars have the same distance to cover. And the narrowing pieces (*2) where 2 slot cars can't be next to each other.. On the other hand.. a slot car kit with infinite pieces.. That used to be a dream scenario... Don't tell me this is Quest only... If not, where to get it? 23:12 Wet and windy spawns that high because of the puddle of water on the floor.. that's the lowest point on the map.. I think. 1): | | \ / / \ | | 2): | | ) ( | |
This game just came out for Christmas, I'm guessing the developers will continue to work on it, create new things and possibly the crossover as you mentioned. As long as people are playing, they should continue to improve it. I only play Quest games, so I don't know if it is available on other systems. I would guess it is for the Quest system only for now.
All the games I review are from the Meta Store. I do not use steam or Sidequest. They are basically for the Quest 3, Q3S. I do not know if other platforms have this. You need VR & MR capabilities.
Great video!! I’m frustrated trying to enable development mode!! I go into headset settings but I keep getting “Get Started” instead if the enable switch! Yes I’ve been verified but this is driving me insane!! I’m beginning to wonder if it’s deliberate!?! All I’m doing is purchasing games so I’m certainly a trusted customer
I wish I could help you with that problem, but I am NOT a "gamer" or a developer or a person who knows anything about the technical ins and outs of the technical side of these things. Back four years ago I watched a step-by-step video from a young lady who led me through the part about the developer mode. I'm sure it has changed in the last 4 years so maybe she or other gamers have a video on UA-cam that can help you out. I don't think I have ever needed to use the "developer" mode for anything? I do not sideload games, I only buy them or get them free through the meta store. Maybe someone can message you with the information or a link to a video to help you out. Best of luck, thank you for watching this video.
I bought my first MR game after watching this. Long time VR gamer, on my Rift S, newer to my Quest 3 though. 60+ long time gamer too. Any idea why the track pieces keep coming apart at various places around the track, by about 1 to 3cm. Waving the controller pointer near it, fixes it, but it can 'crack' a few moments later. The car will navigate fine, as if it is joined, but it looks horrible. Any ideas? Enjoyed the video cheers, subscribed.
While still in the "build" mode, if you should point either of your controllers at any piece of the game, and squeeze either the grip or the trigger, the game will think you want to do something with that piece and if you are not aware of what you are doing, that piece can end up moving. Once you are done building and want to race the car, you can "save" the track which takes it out of the "build" mode. You can then later go back into the "build" mode and add/subtract or move things. As long as you are still in "build" mode things can accidently be moved with the controller without realizing it. I hope that helps. Not sure if I actually answered your question. Did you do a really good scan of the room before starting your build? When I scanned my room, I walked around to make sure it got everything including the space behind my couch so I could later place a track behind it to run a race there.
@@OldGuyVRGamesReviews Thanks for the quick response, there's a bit to take in. Firstly, the scan, are you suggesting the game has a scan mode itself or just the standard system scan? I probably have never done any form of room scan to make it ready for any MR, only a scan for setting up the usual VR boundary, so maybe that is the place to start this conversation. What is this scan you are referring to? How do I initiate that? I can't say I noticed it.
@@MadMaxToo61: Somewhere in the settings is a button to click to scan your rooms for the headset. I also recently had another MR game that asked me to scan the room. When I did the original scan, it asked me to walk around slowly and look around to scan everything. It made a grind of the room marking off and labeling everything in the room like tables and chairs. I scanned the Livingroom, the hallway, the kitchen and the steps leading to the third floor. That scan is what I am guessing allows me to move around, even outside the boundary and run the cars behind the couch.
@@OldGuyVRGamesReviews Cheers, I asked Google and it replied with 'To perform a full room scan on a Meta Quest 3, go to your headset settings, navigate to "Environment setup" > "Space setup" where you can initiate a room scan using the integrated depth sensor; this will allow you to digitally map out your room's boundaries and layout within the virtual environment. ' Thanks for your help I will check that out. I also got mirroring to my Loungeroom Television happening tonight, so 5 other people got to see what was happening at our Chinese New Year's gathering and showed people the game.
Great channel! I just subbed. I am 55 years old. I have a similarly themed channel, although I've gotten more into livestreaming than edited content recently. Hit me up sometime. It might be fun to do a joint stream or project.
Thanks for the offer and subscribing to my page. I've never done a video with anyone else but my wife. I also do not show myself in my videos so I'm not sure how that would work for you. I also only play games that are available through the Meta Quest store. I do not hook up to a computer for gaming, and I do not use sideloaded games/apps.
I’ll never forget that smell of electronics and rubber heating up doing little burnouts and such. When the cars fell off into the carpet that was the worst due because you had to dig out the shag carpet fuzz out of the wheels and connections. This game looks great and brings back some awesome nostalgia.
You don't have to worry about the carpet getting clogged in the wheels or the electronics with this game. 😀

Yes I’ve been verified but this is driving me insane!! I’m beginning to wonder if it’s deliberate!?! All I’m doing is purchasing games so I’m certainly a trusted customer
I wish I could help you with that problem, but I am NOT a "gamer" or a developer or a person who knows anything about the technical ins and outs of the technical side of these things.
Back four years ago I watched a step-by-step video from a young lady who led me through the part about the developer mode. I'm sure it has changed in the last 4 years so maybe she or other gamers have a video on UA-cam that can help you out.
I don't think I have ever needed to use the "developer" mode for anything? I do not sideload games, I only buy them or get them free through the meta store.
Maybe someone can message you with the information or a link to a video to help you out.
Best of luck, thank you for watching this video.
@ many thanks for your prompt and detailed response I very much appreciate it 🙂🙏
I bought my first MR game after watching this. Long time VR gamer, on my Rift S, newer to my Quest 3 though. 60+ long time gamer too. Any idea why the track pieces keep coming apart at various places around the track, by about 1 to 3cm. Waving the controller pointer near it, fixes it, but it can 'crack' a few moments later. The car will navigate fine, as if it is joined, but it looks horrible. Any ideas? Enjoyed the video cheers, subscribed.
While still in the "build" mode, if you should point either of your controllers at any piece of the game, and squeeze either the grip or the trigger, the game will think you want to do something with that piece and if you are not aware of what you are doing, that piece can end up moving.
Once you are done building and want to race the car, you can "save" the track which takes it out of the "build" mode. You can then later go back into the "build" mode and add/subtract or move things.
As long as you are still in "build" mode things can accidently be moved with the controller without realizing it.
I hope that helps. Not sure if I actually answered your question.
Did you do a really good scan of the room before starting your build? When I scanned my room, I walked around to make sure it got everything including the space behind my couch so I could later place a track behind it to run a race there.
@@OldGuyVRGamesReviews Thanks for the quick response, there's a bit to take in. Firstly, the scan, are you suggesting the game has a scan mode itself or just the standard system scan? I probably have never done any form of room scan to make it ready for any MR, only a scan for setting up the usual VR boundary, so maybe that is the place to start this conversation. What is this scan you are referring to? How do I initiate that? I can't say I noticed it.
@@MadMaxToo61: Somewhere in the settings is a button to click to scan your rooms for the headset. I also recently had another MR game that asked me to scan the room.
When I did the original scan, it asked me to walk around slowly and look around to scan everything. It made a grind of the room marking off and labeling everything in the room like tables and chairs.
I scanned the Livingroom, the hallway, the kitchen and the steps leading to the third floor.
That scan is what I am guessing allows me to move around, even outside the boundary and run the cars behind the couch.
@@OldGuyVRGamesReviews Cheers, I asked Google and it replied with 'To perform a full room scan on a Meta Quest 3, go to your headset settings, navigate to "Environment setup" > "Space setup" where you can initiate a room scan using the integrated depth sensor; this will allow you to digitally map out your room's boundaries and layout within the virtual environment. ' Thanks for your help I will check that out. I also got mirroring to my Loungeroom Television happening tonight, so 5 other people got to see what was happening at our Chinese New Year's gathering and showed people the game.
First. 😊
Great channel! I just subbed. I am 55 years old. I have a similarly themed channel, although I've gotten more into livestreaming than edited content recently. Hit me up sometime. It might be fun to do a joint stream or project.
Thanks for the offer and subscribing to my page. I've never done a video with anyone else but my wife. I also do not show myself in my videos so I'm not sure how that would work for you.
I also only play games that are available through the Meta Quest store. I do not hook up to a computer for gaming, and I do not use sideloaded games/apps.
@@OldGuyVRGamesReviews I didn't have anything in particular in mind. Just making connections. 😁
