I always thought a great compromise would be games that gave you an overhead “gods eye” third person perspective. People seem to be obsessed with making VR games first person, but that’s where the movement problems come in.

The game Moss did this well for a platformers. But it could also be really fun for realtime strategy/simulation games (StarCraft, sim city) or sports games like Madden.

That would be fantastic.

I think even being the Lakitu camera in Mario 64 would work.

And you're right, it would kick ass for strategy, sim, and sports games.

I wonder if folks have tried building the movement and camera before the main gameplay loop. Just to see what feels right.
