Red Alert 2 looks great in VR

would be more convenient if you could just use your hands as input. drag a drop with finger/hand type input would be ideal for those types of games.

To me, VR is suppose to actually make you feel like you're in the game but from the actual video you're still playing behind the scene. It almost feels/looks like the same way you'd play normally, but more frustrating with that control.

Yeah, like I said, the controls look a bit clumsy.

And yeah, I also know it doesn't really take full advantage of the possibilities of VR, but I think that control issues aside, this could improve strategy games by quite a bit. No more scrolling around all the time when you just need to look a bit to the other way, instead just turn your head and you're there. To me, it seems like it could make assessing the situation easier and move convenient. Every type of game can't take full advantage of VR, and every type of game can't even benefit from VR (it can actually hurt a lot of games), but I'd say this is one genre where there could be some benefit from VR and it's actually not apparent at first glance.

I know it's still new and too early to judge, I do think giving it more time this can turn out great for RTS games with how you described it.

I think this game could also benefit a lot with Microsoft's Hololens.  The video gameplay reminded me of a board game table coming to life similar how MS showed Minecraft with Hololens.
