“The camera is very different than in a car: because sitting in a car, the head is not moving with the [car’s movements]. But with the motorbike, the rider is [moving with the bike’s movements],” he concluded.
RaceWard has not ruled out VR in the future, but it will definitely not be a launch feature of the game.
