PCGame: Many things are remarkable about Time magazine’s new VR-themed cover. The pose not being least amongst them. Is Oculus Rift creator Palmer Luckey setting up for a Karate Kid-style crane kick? Is he flapping the wings of a virtual pelican, swooping into the ocean for a mouthful of delicious herring? If so… cool. If not, then the mystery as to how anyone signed off on this only deepens. Because if this stock art of a beach represents the VR dream as far as Time is concerned, then mainstream media still has quite a long way to go in terms of selling, or even understanding, the concept.
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.
The way I see it, VR will 'fail' just like it did before, and kind of like how 3d failed.
That cover looks absolutely stupid
Looks like an 80's cereal box cover!!
Lol, I love Palmer Luckey. The guy single-handedly brought VR back into the spotlight. Listen to any interview of his and you'll hear how intelligent he is and how much passion he has for making the VR dream a reality.
Having said all of that, the dude isn't a proper public figure. At this past Video Game Awards, as Luckey was being interviewed by Geoff Keighley, he not only showed how the Oculus Rift is put on, but he also decided to try to do the rest of the interview with it covering his face. It made for an odd interview. Also, at the Oculus offices he can usually be found walking around sans footwear. Something I guess he thought would make for a great cover during the Time Magazine photo shoot.
Again, I love the guy, but he is undoubtedly a bit of an oddball. I'm not judging, I am too. Who cares. But the Rift VR headset is going to have to get past the HMD "look nerdy" reputation. Having an odd character being the face of this new technology doesn't make that job any easier.
Flop
