Tech Heads' Austin Linfante writes: "I appreciate that Zuckerberg and Facebook want to spend billions of dollars in what they believe will help worldwide communication. Whether that can be done with a virtual reality headset that runs through a PC and was created with gaming in mind, and whether they know when to move on from gaming and make it the next next big thing in technology, I’m not so sure."
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.
I fear it will impose a mandatory facebook connection to use the oculus

I'm not worried due to the fact that this means it will get proper funding and likely be cheaper which is a plus to consumers.
Mandatory Facebook integration also isn't a personal worry due to the fact that all game platforms have some sort of mandatory integration with their own system; yet those aren't social media services...kinda.
I think waiting and see would be the best option instead of dooming promising tech due to an acquisition that could very well propel it.
Me being optimistic of course until proven otherwise.
For anyone to think that VRs main value lies in gaming is as ignorant a fool as Palmer Luckey. FB scored huge on this thing. They paid pennies for the potential future value of this device and they seem to be the only ones to see the plethora of possible applications and the millions and billions to be made from said applications. Palmer was an idiot; with proper marketing and dev time he could have easily made 2 billion on O.R. as easy as it is for him to take a shit. But then again marketing and dev time aint cheap either. Can't really blame him though, he's young and stupid, lured by a huge payout. It's probably best someone who makes poor decisions like he did isnt part of the company any longer.
Do not fear comrades, the O.R. will prosper under Mother FB's grand expansion and rule under the stoic iron fist of data accumulation and great acquisitions. You'll see. Long live FB! Smash the proletariat! Crush the competition! Buyout the start-ups! Hoorah! Hoorah! Hoorah!
I think the big problem is that everyone loves a David vs Goliath story, and in this case, David joins with Goliath. We want to see the little guy rise up and succeed, not join the huge behemoth.
