I don't feel like I move around a lot in most Oculus Touch games. The Unspoken and Robo Recall are fantastic fun, and I get to wave my arms around a bit in each, but Ii'm not really moving. The most active Oculus Touch game I'm playing right now is Dead Hungry, and while that game really gets your blood pumping I'm still relatively stationary. My legs aren't really moving.
Compare this to some of my favorite HTC Vive games. Selfie Tennis, Holopoint, and AudioShield all really get your whole body moving. I'm exhausted after an hour in those games, and it feels great.
There's a lot more to a great VR experience than full body mobility, but it still feels like those experiences are lacking on Oculus Touch.
Am I just playing the wrong games, or is this the downside to Oculus Touch not being truly "room scale" right now?
