The VR industry has long awaited sign of true Call of Duty VR games, but will it ever happen? And does it need to happen?
I don't think it's in Activision's DNA to stick their neck out on something like this unfortunately. They've got a surefire winner with COD so why risk a winning formula.
fwiw, Firewall Zero Hour was more fun than COD for me, but obviously didn't have the same user base and budget
I wonder hypothetically if a non-VR COD style game were to integrate VR players, could you even balance such a thing out. I'm guessing no.
Highly unlikely at the moment. Executives are more concerned with being bought by Daddy Warbucks and golden parachutes than moving VR forward. They had a chance last gen but released a spaceship, combat demo instead. COD would increase VR awareness but if they were bought, the same thing that happened to other developers under Microsoft would happen to them.
Just consider, before being bought by Microsoft, Bethesda had Skyrim and Wolfenstein Cyber pilot. Ninja Theory had Hell Blade, Dexed and helped with Vader Immortal. Inxile had Mage's Tale. Double Fine had Psychonauts. ID Software had Doom VFR and Doom 3. Compulsion had We Happy Few: Uncle Jack Live.
Ever since the purchase of those developers, zero VR games announced or released. And since Microsoft continues to shun VR, Activision games like COD wouldn't have VR either under them.
Firewall, Crossfire, Pavlov, and whoever else makes an FPS game in VR, will have to do for the time being. Maybe Sony will make one like Killzone or Resistance in VR. Also surprised that Valve didn't put Counterstrike in VR.
I think the experience would be so different to traditional CoD and share so little with it that there would be no point in pinning the CoD label on it. I think Pavlov is about as close as you’ll get
The best PSVR 2 games to play while sitting down don't usually require much movement or put players in a vehicle that does most of the heavy lifting.
Although the majority of PSVR 2 games support both seated and standing positions, the latter may not always be an option for some players. Sony's latest virtual reality headset has those players covered, with the hardware boasting plenty of great games that can be enjoyed while sitting down.
Pavlov is kind of awkward while sitting. Reloading requires reaching at an angle that's just not exactly ergonomic unles you're standing.
@fortwaba. Oh no I totally get it. When iam playing walking dead its awkward putting my weapons away, reaching for backpack etc. Iam just a lazy gamer lol.
I heard a guy the other day saying that he sits on a stool so that he can still reach down if needs be. I thought that was a pretty good idea.
I prefer just to stand for most games and just play for shorter periods if I'm knackered, but that's not an option for everyone. I do like to slob on the sofa in VR and play Puzzling Places or Demeo.
I just want to play AAA and AA titles sitting down in VR. Sometimes I wonder if I'm in the minority. I don't really want to act out everything.
Missed switchback. Is ment to be played sitting but upper body movement required. Walking dead is stand up game. I only sit when back to restin place camp. Pavlov is best for room scale, there is no crouch button so you need to take cover and get down yourself which is great.
The PlayStation Brahs:
"Rez Infinite has received an update for the PlayStation VR2, updating the game with many new features including eye tracking for aiming. Is it worth the $9.99 price tag for existing owners though?"
What I don't want to see at E3:
Sales reports
Call of Duty
Madden
Fillers
Destiny
VR (Unless they have amazing looking games)
Scorpio/Neo
New Apps on consoles
TV crap
Digital Comics
Fake acting in multiplayer games ex. Division
CGI teasers (Seriously seeing a teaser is basically saying, NOT coming out this year) Does anyone remember Agent? I can handle CGI trailers that shows how the game would be, but if you're just going to show me the title of your game without any information then take that teaser and shove it.
Live cringy performances
Nintendo.
(I love you Nintendo but that was too easy.)
Crash Bandicoot in Skylanders
Knack 2
