Drive Club VR is terrible. I have never felt that sick after doing anything before. I was fine for the first 2 laps (demo disc) and then while in the lead on the 3rd lap I had the idea to look behind me, the rear seats of the car and cars in the back window sent me in a tail spin that I didn't recover from. Felt sick for the next 3-4 hours and threw up once.
I tried Rush of Blood, it was really immersive, felt like you were there. Looking down at my legs was a little strange, but the coaster parts with big drops made me queasy. I hate roller coasters and they always make me sick, got the same feeling here. Which in a way, is realistic because I truly felt like I was on a coaster car.
Overall, VR is something it's impossible to explain to someone without them actually trying. There's just a sense of being "there" that you don't get from any other gaming medium. I don't know if VR is for me, going to try more over the next few days, but leaning towards returning it as of now as I'm not going to keep something around that makes me sick. FWIW, 3D gives me headaches too, and as I've gotten older, FPS have bothered me more as well.
But the system is solid. The helmet feels incredible. I noticed how sweaty and hot I got using VR though, and at times you don't even feel like you're playing a game. Crazy feeling when in there.
