DualShocker's Jorge Jimenez tells us why the recent Facebook purchase of Oculus VR might actually be a good thing in the long run.
Oculus founder Palmer Luckey was able to try out the Playstation VR 2 at CES and was "blown away" by the experience.
For the people that try to downplay the original PSVR's success by comparing to total PS4 units, he also said:
"The first PSVR was arguably the biggest success of the generation, this version will do even better".
🤣🤣🤣 spec wise it weaker then what on the market already so, gotta be talking about games.
I'm debating on getting the PSVR2 but not having backward compatibility is currently my roadblock
businessinsider writes: "His exit came on Friday, the people said. Carmack, who has been openly critical of Meta's advancements in AR and VR, core to its metaverse ambitions, posted to the company's internal Workplace forum about his decision to leave."
I hope he starts up another new company and can get another new game engine on the market too.
He is like: "Im done with F#@#$%NG nonsense, pff Metaverse da funk I was thinking!!, Im out!! :D"
Yeah he put a smile in his face too in the end.
I hope he goes back to traditional games.
VR gaming is a flop and the Metaverse has (fortunately) completely failed to take off.
One of if not, the best game engine developer in the world. I hope he gets back into developing game engines.
They need to stick VR back in RnD departments everywhere that or let the porn industry lead the way like everything else that's been introduced then brought to mass market after porn made it a thing lmfao
Microsoft and Meta have announced a partnership that will see the cloud game streaming platform, Xbox Cloud Gaming, arrive to the Meta Quest Store, offering its suite of Xbox games to Quest users.
Flight sim inside of a vr hmd... could be interesting. Would the game had to have been built to support VR for the in game cockpit view to look around when you move your head?
Sadly this is not VR gaming but similar to Netflix in VR. Useful if you want to game in a 3D living room on a 2D screen. Maybe heavy usage will prompt developers to offer VR upgrades on old games.
They need to start putting actual VR games on Gamepass. Could get a share of the VR market as well.
Would’ve been more interesting to have a partnership with someone that makes actual VR games instead
I personally don't agree with this article b/c the NSA already have their hands in face book's back pocket.
Just about every picture uploaded on FB are added to NSA biometric data base.
I think FB is interested in the oculus for unknown reason.
Some elaborate scheme to covertly take retina scans of our eyes?
It will be great for the development of VR technology. That's a lot of money to have behind your product.
stupid of facebook buying O R| unless they are planning a console or a 3d world or something, id of been more happy em buying xbox this one is a head scratcher
Biggest news John Carmack is now a facebook employee, if you said that to me 3 years ago i would have called you crazy.
Some dev tweeted
"Hundreds of developers just found out they're making games for Facebook."
Best response to this and had me laugh so much.
