The future of virtual reality might be a lot more affordable once Windows 10 Creators Update rolls out next year.
It's sometimes claimed that PC VR usage on Steam is shrinking, but here's why that isn't actually true.
Vr is dope. Idk know why people wanna hate. It's definitely a dope next step. Even if it's a sidestep. I really wish more developers would throw down. Imagine a last of us with vr, or a final fantasy game, all kinds of stuff. It would be incredible.
The Flat2VR community is taking the next step and announced a studio that will develop and commercialize licensed VR ports.
This is great news I love virtual reality and my psVR2 however it's clear that the current bespoke way of building VR games is not working. There's some great games that have been released Absol but they are few and far between and if they are native they are clearly lower in budget and scope then at least I would like. It's definitely jarring to.go from high quality games like Spider-Man 2 to the biggest VR releases like Arizona sunshine 2 and see the huge gulp in quality.
This company aims to streamline porting older games into VR and make them feel as VR native as possible.
And to be honest some of my favourite VR experiences have been traditionally flat screen games ported into VR like resident evil 7, 8 4, doom 3 with the aim controller or borderlands 2.
And I'm not saying that there isn't great native VR games to be found I'm saying more traditional games ported over would be very welcome we have decades of amazing games that we all love and VR presents an opportunity to truely bring us into the world.
Amazing news, there're so many forgotten gems out there, these guys have been consistently porting old games like Return to Wolfenstein, Quake 4, jedi knight, etc. Sounds great that they can earn a living by doing official ports, publishers dust off some old properties, gamers get great games in VR, we all win.
Awesome news! Which popular Steam and Switch game do you think is their first project?
Wallace & Gromit are preparing for a well-earned golfing getaway, but mishaps and mayhem send them hurtling off course!
I'd assume these are the array of VR headsets Microsoft alluded too when talking about Scorpio compatibility.
Great news for the industry if this takes off, as it could lead to a future where you buy a headset and use it on any console or PC (much as you expect to be able to use a TV). That totally opens up the market for rapid tech advancement and a full gamut of low to high end options.
This is a pretty great surprise. I'm still hoping they allow other 3rd-party VR headsets on Xbox Scorpio.
Hopefully this will mean a price drop on other highend headsets
Good to see affordable VR headsets inbound.
Smart for MS to have its partners create VR headsets instead risking it themselves. Maybe they'll decide to make an Xbox branded when VR proves to be successful.
