True Player Gear‘s CEO Bertrand Nepveu hit the Internet this evening to answer more questions about their upcoming Totem VR headset. Bertrand elaborates a little more on TPG’s plans for positional tracking and he says that if Facebook had approached them for acquisition he would have turned it down.
Facebook recently announced it was dipping its toes into the world of gaming and now we’re getting a glimpse at what that future may hold.
Sanzaru is joining Facebook to help us pursue a future of rich, immersive, and original VR game content.
PlayStation and Facebook Gaming/Oculus will not be attending this year's Game Developers Conference due to concerns around the novel coronavirus COVID19. It follows a series of cancelled or postponed video game events, plus console manufacturing disruption, caused by the outbreak.
I have a feeling the PS5 is going to be delayed, which will be devastating to Sony.
why do i get a feeling sonys gonna do ps5 reveal in state of play form now with all these events cancellation
Yeah say that again after getting offered 2 billion dollars, joker.
Haven't shown a working demo *check*
Design looks like a reverse engineered Rift DevKit 1 *Check*
Tries to bash Oculus over being bought by Facebook *check*
Honestly believing this company and product is a joke *check*
Say what you will about not liking Facebook, but through all of the hands-on previews of the Oculus everyone knows it's a damn good device. Also, the fact that Palmer Lucky said Valve's VR prototype was better than his shows humility on his part and the drive to make the product as perfect as possible. That may also be why Oculus has been on a former Valve engineer hiring spree.
These guys have nothing to show other than a rendered concept. Looks cool, but a render.
They claim 9+ years in development and nothing to offer but what is now generic HMD teck talk. Anyone can BS about what they PLAN to offer.
Dont get me wrong, I'd love to see these guys produce a viable device as I like their ideas but less talk more show.
We don't even know if they have a prototype of foam and hockey tape yet. I suppose these ideas are just scribbled on napkins?
"Look here (investor) we have everything laid out on the backs of these coffee stained paper place-mats from our tech development meetings at Denny's." Oui? Oui?
(investor)...No.
Such a BS attempt to benefit off of this negative attention Rift is getting over the Facebook purchase.
One, you totally would have taken that amount of money. Two, you wouldn't have been offered that amount of money because you haven't garnered the brand strength, if you will, that Rift has.
Release your product, see what the consumers decide and let your work speak for itself. Business is business, but things like this always come off as so petty.
In the interview the CEO doesn't sound very professional. For that reason alone, I'll assume that their product, even if it exists, will never hit the market.
