VRFocus - The Oculus Rift works. As insane as it may sound, it’s possible to slip on the much anticipated virtual reality (VR) headset and feel like you’ve stepped into another world. The problem? Right now you can only take our word for it. This isn’t a matter of powerhouse visuals that can be showcased with a simple trailer or motion controllers that can be demonstrated live, this is a technology that truly needs to be seen to be believed. Unless you’re lucky enough to own a developer kit or you’ve sampled the Oculus Rift at an event, it’s hard to imagine it really working. That perception is something that Oculus Rift creators Oculus VR and all other VR outlets are going to struggle with throughout the next few years.
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.
A lot of people are hoping that whole VR thing will work out great, myself included, but my main concern about it practicality. Is it going to beat sitting in front of a TV or monitor? Maybe for immersion, yes. But I think it's best, for me, anyway, to wait it out and see what becomes of it. I really can't see myself wearing an oculus rift headset and waving my head around to play a game right now. (it must kill people's necks lol.) I know its a bit of a stretch but I'm hoping for some NerveGear like technology in the future
I don't own a dev kit, but I have a close friend who does and I have used it quite a few times. This was a great article and it is right on the money. VR is something that needs to be experienced first hand. It truly is incredible and I have no doubt that it will make a big impact on gaming. I don't think traditional gaming will go away, I just think VR is going to be a big part of gaming and will expand gaming in ways we can't even imagine.
