Are We About To Experience The Biggest Revolution In The History Of Gaming?

Grab It:

"If I were to ask what Crackdown 3, No Man’s Sky and the Oculus Rift have in common, I can perfectly imagine the blank stare you would give me in return. Indeed, these seemingly disparate projects have nothing in common. Yet, they also have everything in common: hope. What these exciting projects represent is a leap forward in gaming, the likes of which we have never seen before. After waiting patiently for so long, our hopes and dreams are crystallising into what will be a truly revolutionary era in the gaming industry. What lies ahead is the stuff fantasy, yet it will become reality"

No Man's Sky is going to be epic scale and one sweet ride.

MSBAUSTX3160d ago

I do believe No Mans Sky is going to be awesome for sure. I didnt for a while but it is catching my eye more and more.

MSBAUSTX3160d ago (Edited 3160d ago )

Slight sensationalism if you ask me. I have 30 friends on my PS account and almost 50 on my XB Live account. Out of 80 people that I have asked about VR maybe 10 of them plan on buying it. So I hardly doubt that sales numbers like that are going to "revolutionize" anything. The Cloud may have an impact for gaming down the road but still hinges on internet fidelity and server attacks like we have seen this past Christmas. I do not believe we are on the cusp of a Revelation in the gaming industry from any of the developers right now. They are definitely picking up the pace and delvering some beter quality experiences. However, no one is breaking any crazy ground that is going to be the Next Super Nintendo, Playstation 1, or Wii type stuff.

TLG19913160d ago

10 people out of 80 you have asked are going to buy VR, i would say thats pretty good if those stats carried on though out everyone. especially for a new piece of tech no one has tried properly.

not everyone went out and bought a next gen console day one, its about the long game. and with new tech even more so. its also word of mouth those 10 people will in turn let x amount of people try it then some of those will go and buy it and the chain goes on. its not going to be an instant hit, i think we all know that. there needs to be a lot more support for it yet and not novelty stuff.

SteamPowered3160d ago

Betcha if your friends were PC players 5 out of 10 would start salivating at the topic of Oculus/Vive.
Every time I go into Memory Express I find someone that is currently building a rig specifically for VR. Myself included.

Mikefizzled3160d ago

Of my group of friends with gaming PC's 0 out the 7 of us are bothered by VR. I think your numbers are crazy high.

thorstein3160d ago

To add to that, only 30 of his friends have a console that will have a VR component...

So, 10 out of 30 is really, really high.

jb2273160d ago

I think the whole point about being on the cusp of a revolution is having all of these amazing potentially game changing experiences coming closer to fruition. Between VR, cloud tech & procedural generation, none of these ideas are brand new, but they are finally being utilized on very large scales. Maybe it'll be another half a decade, but we are witnessing a lot of interesting seeds being sown.

CoyoteHunter3160d ago

Well said jb227. You certainly got the point I was trying to get across :)

SteamPowered3160d ago

Once you try VR, your view of gaming and media will change forever. I guarantee it.

Timesplitter143160d ago (Edited 3160d ago )

I work with VR regularly and I can say the wow-factor wears off pretty rapidly. I think VR will have more of an impact than 3DTV's or Kinect, but not a lot more.

The thing with VR is that it limits gameplay in many ways, and you get a lot of eye fatigue as soon as you're playing for more than 15-30 minutes.

SteamPowered3160d ago

What VR are you working with? DK2?

Timesplitter143160d ago

mostly DK2, also some Cardboard and GearVR

SteamPowered3160d ago

Well the Dk has low latency and resolution. The polished Vive/Oculus will have more than double the FPS and going from 720p to 1200p. The experience will be a lot more comfortable with the final versions.
Have faith my brother!

Off topic- have you tried virtual desktop? Thats the app I'll most likely use the most with VR. I love sizing and curving my virtual screen for gaming/3d movies.

AtomHeart6233160d ago

I think VR is gonna be like the Xbox kinnect device. I don't think it will die like kinnect but I think it will be at a snails pace until kinks are worked out. It will be a niche device for a long time.

miyamoto3160d ago

The PS4 is the revolution that gaming needed and its revolutionizing the industry as we live and breathe.

miyamoto3160d ago (Edited 3160d ago )

PS4 is being consumed by gamers worldwide at an alarming rate of 1 million units a month.
PS4 is selling more than the PS3 and 360 combined at the same time.
PS4 is outselling the XB1 and Wii U combined.
PS4 is being consumed faster than the PS2.

Every kid is bugging their parents for a PS4 system this year.

I hear it everywhere in the streets , malls and homes.

The game that keeps on giving 🦾🥳✌️

Christopher22d ago

The support they've given this game only makes me more interested in their next game.

Zeke6821d ago

Agree, curious what they are cooking up for that one?!

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos31d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts31d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook731d ago (Edited 31d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka31d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka31d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

Neonridr31d ago

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz31d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos31d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1731d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca31d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
