    By asymmetrical I mean a game where one person (or possibly more) is playing in VR while the other(s) are playing with a controller.

    The first that comes to mind is Davigo which has yet to come out but looks like a lot of fun.

    Another is Takelings: House Party

    Additionally, Payday 2 oddly allows co-op between players on standard controllers and those in VR. That’s less interesting since they have the same abilities regardless of control method.

    I’d love to see more games that explore asymmetry. Ever since Evolve ate up all my time for 2 years I’ve been looking for the next great asymmetric game and not enough devs have ventured in VR for that purpose.

      There is a lot of potential in asymmetrical games in general with certain players having access to different information and strategies than others due to their perspectives… letalone adding VR to the mix. I am imagining that the VR players can pull out a clipboard or tablet containing secret info, in order to try to obtain separate objectives or even hamper the other controller based players with them having to ferret out the traitor or stop the VR faction from achieving their objectives!

      Ah, thanks for the response! I don’t think I’d considered or played such a game before. Pretty interesting stuff!
