10 Perfect Star Wars Video Game Ideas Everyone Is Ignoring

6. VR Lightsaber Duels/Podracing

Even since the Oculus Rift was first announced, the mere thought of VR gaming has had a profound impact on our collective imagination. Now that it€™s finally coming out, as well as a few other systems which are likely to be just as impressive, some of those dreams can finally be realised €“ and where better to start than with Star Wars? There are a couple of awesome Star Wars-based concepts that virtual reality could go down. Firstly, who doesn€™t love the idea of Virtual Reality lightsaber duels? Watching Darth Vader advance menacingly towards you, saber aloft, whilst wielding your own saber and having a full 360 view of the Death Star environment around you €“ just how epic does that sound? Even if motion controls aren€™t quite there yet, there€™s so much potential for VR to create an incredible experience. Second, even if you don€™t like the prequels, you have to admit that the podracing was pretty damn cool. VR equipment would add another element to that €“ you€™d be able to truly experience the sheer speed of the vehicle and the thrill of the race in front of your eyes, and unlike the previous idea, this one doesn€™t necessarily require the motion controls to be amazing.
