Going into Eurogamer Expo 2013 I never planned to try out Oculus Rift. I had seen videos of people using it and everyone was universally impressed, from veteran game journalists to people who were unfamiliar to gaming, but I never felt the need to try it. The Oculus section had queues stretching for hours and I wasn't prepared to wait that long for something that I wasn't fundamentally interested in. Yet on Friday as I walked around the Expo floor I saw a small queue for the indie game Dream, which to my surprise used the Oculus Rift. This was my chance to test it out and I am very, very pleased that I did.
Morels: Homestead, a relaxing game in which you can create your own unique homestead, is available now for PC VR.
Electronic Arts has confirmed that while F1 23 will support PC VR it will not support PSVR 2 on PlayStation 5.
That's fine. GT7 would overshadow it anyway at it has open wheel and regular cars.
Should have been spending their time updating Squadrons with better resolution, frame rate, haptics, etc as there isn't a game like that on PS VR 2 yet.
But it's EA. They don't think.
A wasted opportunity, but I don't buy EA / Codemasters stuff anyway. Grid Legends just came out on Plus and I haven't touched it. Why would I when I have GT7 and PSVR2?
That's where opportunity presents itself that they could offer something else that other developers haven't offered yet. Yeah. There's No Man's Sky. But a space game with a story would be great. Like the old days with Colony Wars.
Exactly, they could have possibly lured more players just from the inclusion of a vr mode.
I miss Colony wars and G-Police, Low-Fi I hope will scratch that itch when it releases. We also need a vr War/Starhawk game.
Here's a forgotten VR gem for you from 2019. Epic Games' action-packed Robo Recall, which is also available for Quest 2.
Although I never owned an oculus, I played the demo for this at an electronics store. Pretty impressive in an early goings of VR title.
They should really stop hyping this thing. Unless they plan on giving this thing out for free, simply by walking through the door and EVERY game supports it. This is yet another cool thing that goes nowhere and Carmack endorsing it means nothing. That guy will endorse a new flavor of Cheetos if it meant more polygon counts.
i think they should hype it. they need this to be a great hit!
well its already a hit in a way. tho most people wait for the finished HD version of the product tho.
this will be the nezt big thing in gaming IMO.
its a total immersive experience.
Full real 3D, one screen for each eye.
Super high FOV.
its great. its like are in the game. it feels great.
tho.
they dont need every game to have full support for it.
and its not that hard to have good support for the thing either, all devs really need is 3D support and the FOV support.
cant wait for a 3rd gen version with OLED screens or something like that with the colors and such.
I tried this at PAX and while the experience was certainly interesting, it gave both myself and my girlfriend motion sickness. I'll admit that my girlfriend is sometimes sensitive to motion but I'm usually not.
I'm not sure why it affected me but I put it down to the way the headset didn't respond to my head movements fully. It accurately turned the picture up, down, left and right in response to my head movements but if I tilted my head it didn't respond. Or if I slightly moved my whole head, it didn't respond. It's hard to explain but I think it's the disconnect between what my body was feeling and what my eyes were seeing that caused the sickness.
