Desert Bus II (VR)

lol

Developer Dinosaur Entertainment and publisher Gearbox were given the keys to the "franchise" this year, and the result is, well, true to the original game's vision. You wake up in a bus depot in Tucson with three options: fill out a name tag; punch a time card to start driving; or grab a ticket to start riding.

Should you become a VR bus driver, you take the driver's seat of an empty, rickety bus that has, for whatever reason, been fully modeled with detailed textures and geometry for the bus's luggage racks, chairs, handrails, and more. By default, nobody's back there to appreciate it. You can look at the back of the bus by either turning your head or glancing up at a giant rearview mirror. Otherwise, you'll want to keep your eyes on the road.

That's because, like the '90s original, this bus's alignment is slightly off, always guiding the bus toward the right side of a straight road. You'll have to use hand-tracked controllers on the HTC Vive or Oculus Touch (or, outside of VR, WASD keys) to even the steering wheel out. The alignment is always the tiniest bit off, so even holding your hand in a "perfect" spot will still result in the bus slightly heading to one side. Since neither VR system comes with a foot pedal, you'll have to press a trigger to accelerate; sadly, the game doesn't include a menu to remap controls to, say, a fancy-pants car-simulation rig.

Apparently you can also "ride" in another bus as a passenger... but can't interact with driver. Crazy.
