This week on Sessler's ...Something, Adam discusses the future of virtual reality, its presence at GDC, and the potential it has to introduce new genres of games more dependent on exploration and storytelling than combat and action.
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?
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.
Before we get any people in here proclaiming "Oh Sessler calling VR a gimmick after defending the Kinect" without watching the video... he says it's not a gimmick. Just fyi.
Yes very much a virtual gimmick.
Agreed, Sessler. VR is not a gimmick. The possibilities are limitless. It's more than just a new way to play. This is the next evolution of gaming. Tons of new mechanics will be introduced that were not possible without VR. If you haven't tried the Oculus Rift, please do. It's wonderful. I can't wait to get the retail version. I'll be picking up Sony's, as well. I love VR!
i love you sessler you make me sizzle!!!
"Is Virtual Reality a Gimmick?"
Yes it is. Just like Kinect and the Wii is. Its just another attempt to get extra sales from casual and non gamers.
