It may be nothing, it might not even be the Dave Jones of Realtime Worlds, but it all seems very fitting after Realtime Worlds went into administration with the loss of 150 jobs.
The staff has recieved two days pay, and nothing more.
Could Dave be raising funds to buy MyWorld? Or is he selling the cars to pay his staff?
We’ll leave the speculation to you.
Dave Jones suggests VR is about to enter a new phase of technological evolution.

This is the stone age because it's the first generation of VR - but that's not a bad thing! I have a PSVR and use it with a PS4 Pro and it's great. This doesn't mean it's perfect because there are things that will improve over the years on all formats, for example having a higher resolution, free movement and improved controls. But right now there are some great experiences that demonstrate the power of immersion that comes from VR. But also full games like Resident Evil 7 and Skyrim VR that gives us a vision of what's to come. VR is not ready for everyone, but if you want to experience the future of gaming then Oculus, Steam VR and PSVR allow you to jump in right now.
it is nowhere near the first generation of VR, weve had VR since the 80s. It is the first generation where its actually a half way viable product however.
VR is in iy's very early stages for sure. I'm waiting to jump in until the tech improves after trying PSVR.
They should put out an optional dlc that makes first perspective mode support VR in GTA5
First person mode is already in GTAV. They should do a VR mode for it. They made billions on MT's so it's not like they don't have the funds.
You know that VR lead to weak graphics and thats will create dull experience in open world and as if you watching 240p video(meant to be 1080p) on youtube right?
InKnight7s
Not even a little true. The experiences are incredible. Play Skyrim VR yet?
@InKnight7s - even if the game ended up not looking much better than the PS3 version it would still be awesome to play in VR regardless.
@innight, the res is higher than 240p lol. Its more than just the graphics with vr.
I've actually played GTA V in VR. It's pretty great, but native support would be even better.
Cloudgine's Dave Jones and Maurizio Sciglio are going to provide developers with a platform-agnostic tech enabling them to tap into the power of the cloud.

GR:
It's been quite a while since the building-leaping, orb-collecting sandboxes of the Crackdown series graced an Xbox console, which makes all that over-the-top destruction of the new Crackdown all the more appetising. So it's no surprise that ability to destroy fully-rendered buildings down to their last bricks has fast become the star of the show. When Crackdown finally arrives on Xbox One in 2016, the only thing that's going to be holding you back is the capability of your Internet Provider.
I hope i can destroy vending machines so i can have a nice snack for my character.
Destroying 100% of everything will be tiring work. Your character will definitely have deserved that snack :)
I am so excited to have that snack in summer of 2016!
There is so many things I am excited about on the Xbox One, I don't know which one is my favorite, Gears 4, Quantumn Break, Halo 5, new dashboard update, or cloud technology!
Also looking forward to VR with Oculus Rift/PC and trying PS VR games.
I'm not interested in crackdown but halo 5 qb and gears for I am most certainly looking forward to! I also cannot wait for the dashboard update because right now I freakin hate it. Just looks and performs awfully. And I hope the store is included in the update too because it's a mess. Never before have I looked forward so much to a UI update xD
Really wanna try out these VR head sets! Haven't had an opportunity :(
"the only thing that's going to be holding you back is the capability of your Internet Provider"
Didn't Microsoft give a required speed for this. If I remember correctly, you don't have to be going that fast. Still, its something to consider. But I think Microsoft can deal with this with clever matchmaking.
MS say this but who really has a good connection in multiplayer games now that state they require no more than 2? I have 100Mb but i can tell who has a crappy signal when playing online due to them 'skipping' around the screen. and that's with with a game that is less network demanding than this.
I hope they public beta test this or day one will be a nightmare believe me
Because if they made the destruction work in single player but you had to be online everyone would be screaming DRM BS.
In the meanwhile, games are now starting a trend of shipping without campaign!
I would rather have an online campaign than none at all. Heck, I would rather have an online campaign, than an offline one personally.
However, that is a little selfish of me, because I don't have internet issues as I live in a densely populated (sub-)urban area.
Or they just could provide an cloud sp switch when you need online and a cloud off mode when you get less destruction but play offline.
No its in MP ONLY because when they shut the servers down in 3 years when nobody is playing it, you can't sell people 50% of a game that no longer fully functions...
It wasn't some brain dead moronic conspiracy that people would be crying about DRM, the game has to still work its simple common sense...
Like people who dont love to bukkake MS would buy a game that SP would stop fully working at some point when the servers are gone...
I hate it when people like Donthate say things like that (I don't have internet issues as I live in a densely populated (sub-)urban area.)
Mate the internet is not a some super indestructible ultimate reliable service as you may think the whole interet could crash tomorrow with just the fail of a few routers thats the truth of it.
Infact if i lived near you id actually show you how easy i could disrupt the whole of your internet. then how many online games could you play then lol
"So it's no surprise that ability to destroy fully-rendered buildings down to their last bricks has fast become the star of the show."
I think it will be just one of a few stars of the show.
A lot of possibilities with the destruction though:
-make your own exit (like the tank falling through the roof in battlefield only not scripted)
-perhaps selectively destroy strategically placed bricks allowing the character to climb the wall
-bring the roof down on an enemy
-destroying a bridge so the enemy can't overrun your position
I hope the possibilities are only limited by the imagination of the player.
Also looking forward to seeing visual effects like volumetric fog
Also smarter (and more) NPCs
Exciting stuff
MS had more than gaming in mind when they spent billions over the last decade on the Azure network, but it appears gamers will also reap the benefits.
The two main highlights of Cloud Compute atm are More AI & Destruction. Cloud Compute can be used to offload any tasks really but it's a thing Online Only games can take full advantage of.
I'm hoping to one day see MS invest some money in an MMO stylized game possibly a Halo Destiny. A lot can be done, but that wouldn't be for a long time.
Poor Dave Jones. Stepped down from being incharge of the company to creative director and the whole thing messed up, had most of his team backstab him to make Crackdown 2...
Who gives a shit if he is selling his cars? Couldn't care less
