It feels very consistent and smooth and although it can be a bit FRUSTRATING AT TIMES if you just step back and take a deep breath you're back in homer land. Don't get me wrong this game is great and is one of the more fun vr experiences especially for a high school b-ball player like myself, but... it would be nice to have some sort of progression (some different bat skins or ball coverings etc.) or some new pitches like maybe a impossible to hit knuckle ball or a two-seam or something along those lines.SHORT SUMMARY: This is a good game for anyone who is passionate about baseball and wants to see how it feels to be in a major league batters box. (btw don't buy pitch-hit vr baseball it is boring). 2 words: very realistiic. Especially when you turn the baseball size down to 1.0 (real size) and turn the pitching to average or starter. Really awesome way to take free BP at home. Very addictive. Make sure to supersample if you make the baseball normal size, cause it is small! Very rewarding to hit home runs as it is not easy, but for those who don't want the realistic experience, you can make the ball huge and juice it :)Great little VR batting simulator.. Big Hit VR Baseball is generally one of the big things I wanted in a VR baseball experience: Batting practice. Homerun derby and homerun smashing all the way around is real fun. First day I got it I probably swung at 800 or so pitches and my arm won't be feeling too great tomorrow.PROS:-Hitting is pretty smooth-6 different pitches, 5 different difficulty (speeds) each, and the ability to spot pitches means fantastic variety-Can change ball size for a little help or general fun-Can change how hard the ball is hit and flies for REAL fun... Get to see balls soar over buildings and hit 800ft on a line-Simple controlsCONS:-Price: $25 is not really reasonable for the content provided in this game. I paid becuase I was willing to give it a chance so I could give feedback in HOPES that the developers add new stuff or change a couple of the bugs I found-Bug 1: So people have been saying the ability to refresh a pitch and reload the pitcher bugs out on them, some say they have to reset for it to fix... I encountered this issue and my findings is that it glitches like that if you press the bottom button to open up the Steam\/Vive menu (opening the in game menu to change pitch selections is fine, but the other way around will cause the pitch to fail to be reloaded when you don't make contact). I don't know if this is the only reason it happens, but I started to notice the pattern a couple hours in, then I was able to properly load all my pitches when I didn't look at the Steam menu during a 450 pitch marathon.-Bug 2: The achievement 'Measuring Tape' in which you hit a ball 800 feet failed to register for me even after hitting 4 balls over 800 feet. I don't see any extra stipulations and I did it with HOF fastball, juice 5, ball x1 size.-Can wear ya out pretty fast: Swinging a lot can hurt if you don't stop when you should, but otherwise it really can't hold someone's attention that doesn't like just swinging a bat. It'd be nice to get to do a full 9 inning game, or some other things like leaderboards for homerun derby's and homerun distances per pitch.EDIT:One thing I forgot to mention; it'd be nice if you could recalibrate and reposition the homeplate positioning in the play area. For me it had the homeplate almost in the wall of my boundary, it wasn't much of an issue but it'd be nice to not have to worry about swinging your remote into a dresser or a wall by moving or recalibrating a few inches back or so.EDIT 2:Another thing I just found out about the achievements... They fail to register and award you the achievements for hitting 10 homeruns in homerun derby. Yes I made sure the pitcher was Ace, ball was no greater than x4, and it was juice 3. Just another bug that I hope can be fixed.. YES THIS WILL WORK ON OCULUS.Because my review will be pretty lengthy, I will include my verdict right here so you can read and go or read my entire review.VERDICT: Great game and a great way to get easy to access BP before a game and probably the best way to really mentally prepare yourself for a game. If you don't really play, then it's a great way to experience baseball at the plate and really hone your skills. BUT, I think $25 is just way too much this game is asking for. I understand that developers (Especially for VR games) spend months and years making these games, but $25 for a game with literally the sole purpose of batting is just too much to ask for. It is definitely a game you should pay for, just not $25. Drop this in your wishlist and wait for the devs to put this on sale. Not worth $25.REVIEW: I have just finished my final year of High School Baseball. In preparation for college and having summer vacation, I have not had the chance of getting BP anywhere, and have become quite cage-sick. So I invested in this application. My local cage isnt too cheap, so having an alright option handy was very good. Tried it out and was quite impressed. It really yells indie and new so it lacks a lot of UI features and ease-of-use features like orientation and controls or instruction. But batting wise and playing-the-game-wise is pretty simple, you pull the trigger, then shmack that sucker. This game also has some great customization features to make hitting easier or harder. But in the end of the day, $25 for an indie start-up with a great idea is just too much. I advise you wait until the developers lower the price or choose to put it on sale. As of today, this game is not worth $25. At most: $10-15.Besides that, great tracking and design. 99\/10. After many hours on this game with homerun derby tournaments vs friends, and many more challenging myself with a all HOF pitcher (hall of fame) (very difficult by the way but I like a challenge) I have found this to be by far my favorite sports game even over rec room and many others.
