VRFocus - While virtual reality (VR) technology has gained plenty of new fans over the past few years, there are still more than enough people out there than don’t believe in the new medium. Those that are yet to be convinced have several reasons for this, one of the more popular lines being a comparison to 3D TVs. It was just a few years ago now that these devices failed to replace standard sets across the mainstream, and many fear the same will happen with VR. But, according to Half-Life developer Valve, this is a ‘poor comparison’.
Thirdverse, the Japan-based VR studio behind Swords of Gargantua, Altair Breaker, and X8, announced that its VR multiplayer JRPG SOUL COVENANT is coming to all major headsets next month. Developed by the core team behind SOUL SACRIFICE (2013), players are thrust into a post-apocalyptic Tokyo in the franchise’s first VR expansion.
Recent findings in the latest PSVR2 software update, indicates that PlayStation is already starting to implement support for PC.
I can finally watch pron, I mean watch pronouns be pronounced in PC VR games that were previously not available on Playstation.
I was lucky and held off on 4 until I played it in VR. It really is pretty awesome - you'll love it.
The icing on the cake would be if Sony / Valve allow for a Steam Link app much like it is for the Quest 3. Likely wishful thinking, though.
Viveport, the VR retail platform from HTC is now giving developers 90% of their game revenue, instead of a 70/30 spilt like Steam.
It could be free and it wouldn't matter at this point. There isn't really a PCVR Market and I say that as a PCVR user. It is modders and enthusiasts with a few retail products on Steam.
