Just came back from there... It is full of stars...
I have previous version from Oculus store and hesitated a bit to get this one as the previous version was big too.. Simple... Wait.. I just realized this is the same version.. or not... hm.. whatever, author deserve my Euros.. :-)
This one? It is a must for every parent that likes his kid to understand the space. (which should be every parent with VR tbh)
I love universe and this is so far the best representation of planets in VR so far. Not even universe sandbox has such details of surface etc.
There are just two things I miss (and I hope author will read this)
A) time - I'd love to have an option to watch planets rotate in their natural cycle. Isn't it interesting that it takes Earth 24 hrs to spin while for Jupiter it is just 9.5 hrs...
B) Earth could have double or triple layer of textures. Clouds moving in different pace than surface being in different height. Not even NASA sims have it and honestly, I'd love to just sit on the orbit thinking about my small problems and watch the planet turn...
Just don't attempt to land on Europe... In both cases...
Overall a really nice VR experience and I'd recommend it to anyone who is a fan of space. Easily my favorite part is the truly big stars at the end, though it was a bit disappointing that they don't have UY Scuti and I'd honestly love to see at least double the amount of larger stars, along with some actual commentary since these are just as interesting (more so in some regards) than the planets in the solar system. I also wish you could compare the stars next to planets instead of just planets/moons next to one another.
But as it is, this probably should have been named Solar System Plus or something since for the most part it does only focus on our solar system, only including a few large stars as a sort of extra to just show some perspective on scale. Maybe we can get a Titans of Space 2 that focuses on things such as the truly massive stars, nebulae, different star types, etc.
I know I had a few complaints above but those are really just a wish list. This is still just a breathtaking experience and is a must buy for those interested in space and honestly, just to be able to show off the scale of planets and stars. And if you start the tour at the Sun it only takes a few minutes to fly by the stars section, which is a great way to show off VR quickly to non-gamers and leave them in awe.
Seriously though, pick this up, it's just a truly fascinating VR experience.
well done! visual fun that's entertaining and educational. 10 8 2022 finally bought an oculus rift s, and let me tell you this software is highly more entertaining and fun with vr. excellent learning software and darn fun! wish they would update it with the most recent scientific discoveries!
Thank you very much for this. The reason I got into VR originally was because I tried out the Oculus Rift Kickstarter. Titans of Space was a free demo that I wanted everyone to try out. Looks like even more content and polish has been put into it since then. Carl Sagan would have approved.
If you have any form of VR and just like leaning back and learning some cool facts and trivia about our solar system, this is worth every penny. Haven't checked the whole "full tour" but I definitely will and I recommend you do the same!
I just wish they implemented Gamepad (XBox-One/PS4) support for the EVA/Zero-G functionality.
All in all it was a beautiful experience so far and you can really tell that a lot of passion and effort went into this little interactive experience.
To the person/people who made this:
This experience was nothing short of mind-blowing. At the start, seeing earth as a small ball, with the moon orbiting it and the massive sun next to it, I was in awe. Then, travelling to neptune, saturn, uranus etc. was just incredible. But going over to the insanely massive blue and red giants, was an oddly terrifying and bizarre experience. This ''game'' shows you just how utterly small we are in this ever-expanding universe.
This experience was honestly more horrifying than many horror games I played, but in a good way. Seeing how small we are and how we are surrounded by these monsterous beasts just leaves me filled with awe anytime I think of it.
10/10, incredible job!
Fantastic VR experience.
The recent narrator addition is very interesting and feel natural with the hand gestures. Look forward to more. Only criticism is they should attempt to mute the breathing noises in the momentary silences.
The sense of scale Titans of Space conveys is amazing and breathtaking. Definitely a must have for VR owners.
It is one of the best titles VR has now. I really hope the developer adds new things to the title. I was hoping to fly through Saturn's rings and see boulders there, not flat line. The Sun could have got more realistic details and explosions.
Great first or more likely 10,000 plus or minus step in the game design process. Would love to see this in VR ..... even on my panels Jupiters clouds had layers and depth ! Nice ( hoping for north and South pole lights on the planets and geysers on applicable moons ) ..... The one second auto toggle feature switches .... ROCK !!! ...... Every fight sim cockpit should be set up this way, I'm inspired to hack an XML gauge file for FSX to see ........ ( maybe make the time adjustable in the GUI 0.5 to 2.0 ... or sumthin .......
Ya real potential with this one ..... it reminds me of Cellestia ...... I have it , modded the crap outta it and play it a bit ) ....... So much potentail for DLCs ....... Galaxy Part1 of many DLC ....... Nrbula DLCs ...... Star terk Universe DLCs ..... Start Wars DLCs ....... the mind boggles ...... or make it a Workshop Game and let the community have at it !
Like the quote you use from Carl Sagan ....... it is a big universe .......
hmmmmm .... a HUD ... might be cool ....... one last thing ... I found the controll panel to fart down and outta my forward view ....... this might be better in VR .. ???
Anyways ........ took the short tour and quite enjoyed it ! ........ like I said .... a Great More then a first step !! .... and congrats !!
Can't wait to see where this one goes ...... Cheers
When I loaded this up I'd just bought a handful of games from Steam and one from Oculus' own store (Discover Space 2 - I would have bought that from within Steam but although it advertises it, you can't actually buy it anymore). I'd only just played/experienced Discover Space 2 and had been utterly blown away by it. So upon loading up Titans I wasn't initially impressed due to the graphics in comparison. I was thinking of a refund in the first few minutes. But upon hitting 5 mins or less into Titans I was suddenly drawn in and realised what the program was trying successfully to convey. This is an amazing piece of software especially if you are interested in astronomy. I will keep this now and return to it. The whole point of this game is to convey the sense of scale of our galaxy and in that it completely succeeds. I recommend this as an unforgettable educational experience.
It was my favourite demo with the DK2 and it is still now one of most spectacular and elegant representation of space for VR.
A few notes about the latest update (it's still early access, contents are work in progress): I liked very much the new confort mode, it's spectacular and quite smart in avoiding any change in acceleration/orientation. I liked a lot also the roomscale mode (the chair is missing and you can walk into your ship) where on the handtracking side something more is needed (suggestion: Far Beyond is a great example in this, and support both handtraking than pad).
Graphics is very polished, it's improved from DK2 time and any update I can see small but noticeable additions. The music is great, with some different themes and styles.
It's an experience, not a game, and very likely something you would show to lot of people so the price is totally worth in my opinion. If you love celestial bodies, and missed to try this before, it's a very well spent money.
More of a thank you than a proper review. I bought this game for my son. We do not have a VR headset but even without one, he enjoyed this game immensely. My son is 7 years old and loves galactic size comparisons. Having a "game" that allows him to somewhat see the scale of the objects he is fascinated by, outside of science/youtube videos is wonderfiul. I hope you continue to develop this game in the future, despite there not being much of a crowd for this sort of thing.
This was very impressive when it was first released for the oculus rift devkit. But there has been no real improvement since then AND the controls for the vive are absolutely horrible.
Back then it was great really great for its time- but now the whole experience is just a mess.
It's very hard for me to press No on this one because I really loved the game on the DK2 but now I'm just disappointed.
This is a great application of VR and a humbling experience that visualizes the almost unimaginable scale and distance of the planets and stars we can see from Earth. It's presented as a "tour" where you are flown do different parts of the solar system, and then out to a couple of enormous stars, and it provides a lot of details that help you put things in perspective (distances are represented in terms of distance from Earth to the Sun, and planetary/solar sizes are described in terms of how many earths/suns would fit in bigger objects, etc).
I encountered a couple of technical glitches- once when orbiting Jupiter my camera zipped way out of whack and far away from the planet (but things returned to normal when I resumed the tour) and there's a part where the program is supposed to decrease the scale of our solar system in order to set us up for a comparison to some much larger objects, but the scaling didn't happen when it was supposed to. (I think that kicked in a couple minutes later when we eventually flew to another star.)
The symphonic music is nice, but I found myself wanting some Cosmos-y whooshes and rumbles during some silent or near-silent parts of the tour.
Anyway, this would be a great way to showcase VR for anyone with an interest in space.
You've never seen Jupiter quite like this!
Can not reccomend this program enough. Would have loved to have this in my science classroom back in school. A perfect example of how VR can change how we interact and learn about universe. The main "game" itself involves a breath taking tour of the solar system (can be set to abbrievieted or extended) that gives you right up close views of sol and theplanets of ours solar system. You are taking the perspective of an Astronaught and it really is quite stunning. You are presented with facts with each stop along the tour, with additinal options to learn more factoids, pull in and manipulate a 3D miniature of the star or planet being focused on, or launch a probe where you can change trajectory and velocity to find how the different grabvity wells would effect your probe's flight path. After touring the sun and planets (with mentions and sightings of significant moons) Then you are treated to some cool visulizations to show scale, including comparing our star to much bigger ones such as Rigel and other massive stars. Then it extends out view to show how the sun would look from vacuum at various distances. This is all set to a great instrumental soundtrack that fits the epic nature of the journey.
My only wish is that after the tour I wanted to explore more lol, to travel out past our local system and probe the vast and diverse spiral arms of the Milky Way, but of course that would be a huge undertaking.
9/10 Would have paid attention more in science class if we'd had this as a teaching aid!
When I was a kid, I used to go to the school library in Elementary school and pick out books about the solar system. I loved reading all about how "Mercury's orbit and rotational period are exactly 88 days so that it always keeps one face toward the sun" and stuff like that. Of course most of that is wrong/outdated information, but again, I was reading books published 20 years before I was born so that's to be expected.
Well, anyway... what we have here is a nice little tour of the Solar System and you can get pretty up-close and personal with every single planet (and a few of the major moons and other dwarf planets).
They start you out with a scale you can appreciate and then as the tour continues you get to see exactly how big (relative to Earth) Jupiter and Saturn are... Everything is shrunk down to 1/1000000th of its size but it's still pretty massive. While the graphics aren't SUPER amazing, they're still jaw dropping in scale...though that effect is lost when you reach out to grab the planet to look at it closer and now it looks like a toy on the end of a stick.
Each planet and some of the moons have trivia you can read about them. It's probably the kind of thing that 20 years from now we'll learn is wrong and/or outdated and kids in the future will roll their eyes as us when we tell them stories about how Neptune is a darker blue than Uranus even though they're both comprised of a lot of methane. "No Grampa, it's the distortion from the graviton flux caused by a disturbance in the weak force that makes it APPEAR darker... Pfft!" or something like that.
Anyway, it's not a game, there's no objective to complete. It's just a nice little guided tour through the solar system. It's still very educational, and they're still working on it in Early Access so there's a chance that there could even be updates to some of the informaton as we learn new things.
If you have an interest in Astronomy but don't care to delve into it too deeply, this is a great way to see our local neighborhood.
Amazing experience. Nothing could've prepared me for what i experienced in VR with this game. The main reason i bought a Vive is because i wanted to go to space. Something I'll never do in reality. This game did that for me. I loved it.
This is a giantic experience in VR. Lay back in your chair and enjoy the best tour into space of your life! This is a definite must have product.
The aim of this program is to show you the properties of the planets and moons in our solar system. But most of all it gives you an excellent impression of the relative sizes not only of the planets and sun but also compared to other giantic objects in space.
To know the numbers is one thing. To actually experience the relationships in VR is something else.
By the way: I am often looking for demos to show my family and friends why this hobby is worth the while. This program is an excellent chance to let the folks get huge eyes!
One more thing: From time to time this is being compared to the Apollo 11 demo. Forget that, they are completely different. I can not tell which is the better one, both are must haves and belong to the best I have seen in VR.
This was the best VR-experience back when the first Oculus devkits hit backers and it is still the best VR-experience today.
The sense of scale is amazing and the way you get piloted around the solarsystem feels very satisfying. I usually don't have a problem with heights, but vertigo really hits in this game, it's amazing.
For someone who loves space this is what VR is all about 10/10.
I used a HTC Vive and motion controlls are used as "laser-pointers".
Titans of Space was my favorite VR experience for the original Rift DK1, so I was excited to see ToS 2.0 released for the HTC Vive on Steam! Overall, it is much better than the original and now supports the Vive Controllers for some things. I was amazed to see just how big Canus Major really is compared to our solar system and this VR experience taught me a lot of things about our galaxy that I didn't know. Hopefully the makers of this VR experience will make some more for us to enjoy.
This is an excellent project. One of my all time favorite VR titles, hands down. The scope and scale of what you see in this is amazing. If you have a headset, don't even hesitate. This is one of the original experiences that really helped me to realize the potential of VR, and it does NOT disappoint. I can't wait to see where it goes from here!
