VRFocus - Henry Fuchs, member of the American Academy of Arts and Scientists (AAAS), Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and Professor of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has labeled Facebook’s acquisition of Oculus VR as ‘the biggest deal in VR history’. Fuchs made the claim whilst hosting the keynote speech at the 2014 IEEEVR conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Facebook is set to purchase the Oculus Rift makers for a total of $2 billion USD.
Morels: Homestead, a relaxing game in which you can create your own unique homestead, is available now for PC VR.
Electronic Arts has confirmed that while F1 23 will support PC VR it will not support PSVR 2 on PlayStation 5.
That's fine. GT7 would overshadow it anyway at it has open wheel and regular cars.
Should have been spending their time updating Squadrons with better resolution, frame rate, haptics, etc as there isn't a game like that on PS VR 2 yet.
But it's EA. They don't think.
A wasted opportunity, but I don't buy EA / Codemasters stuff anyway. Grid Legends just came out on Plus and I haven't touched it. Why would I when I have GT7 and PSVR2?
That's where opportunity presents itself that they could offer something else that other developers haven't offered yet. Yeah. There's No Man's Sky. But a space game with a story would be great. Like the old days with Colony Wars.
Exactly, they could have possibly lured more players just from the inclusion of a vr mode.
I miss Colony wars and G-Police, Low-Fi I hope will scratch that itch when it releases. We also need a vr War/Starhawk game.
Here's a forgotten VR gem for you from 2019. Epic Games' action-packed Robo Recall, which is also available for Quest 2.
Although I never owned an oculus, I played the demo for this at an electronics store. Pretty impressive in an early goings of VR title.
Wow, with that kind of logic no wonder he has a job in a university. Of course it's 'the biggest VR deal in VR history', even though it was around before it was very primitive and was never taken seriously. We are really starting to venture into this new frontier I'm sure there will be bigger deals and bigger improvements in a few years. Sony's Morpheus from interviews sounds like it's running laps around Oculus and with Facebook dictating it's focus all potential for the OR went out the window.
Oled is good but drives cost up and lot of people have mentioned that they would not buy vr if too dear. Sony maybe keeping costs down to get vr off the ground.I would pay for more tho.
Wow this Fuchs character is a total genuis! ‘the biggest deal in VR history’? You dont say. I can see now why this guy is a professor!
Thanks for that breaking piece of news Henry, you tard.
