Opinion: My Eyes, The Goggles Do...Something

GodisaGeek: "Like many, I approached the Occulus Rift with a reasonable amount of skepticism. And why wouldn’t I? We’ve seen this before – pieces of hardware that garner critical excitement, right up to the moment we get the devices in our hands. The PlayStation Move felt like a complicated way to play the video games we love, more of something we had to endure than fully enjoy. The phrase “better with the Kinect” is nothing short of laughable. Exceptions withstanding, a lot of the industry’s approaches to immersion leave something to be desired.

The Occulus Rift is a game changer. Here, VR isn’t something that you tolerate, knowing that the gameplay would be better in its absence. No, VR is a genuine enhancement that may even render conventional gaming bland by comparison, if my hands on demo with EVR, a cleverly titled game based in the EVE Online universe, is any indication of what we can expect."

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.

Babadook7339d ago

I agree. It would sell better on PSVR2 right now.

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?

Abnor_Mal340d ago

Not into F1 racing, but still a missed opportunity.

ApocalypseShadow340d ago

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.

Abnor_Mal340d ago

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.

Knushwood Butt339d ago

Just watched the trailer of Low-Fi. Most definitely on my radar.

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.
