VRFocus - Twinbeard Studios, the developer behind maths-based videogame Frog Fractions 2 has added an option to buy back Oculus Rift makers Oculus VR from Facebook on its Kickstarter campaign after yesterday’s acquisition. The developer, who had already jokingly added a stretch goal of $350,000 USD to add virtual reality (VR) support back way of the Oculus Rift, asked for the same amount of money Facebook bought Oculus VR for ($2 billion) to make this possible.
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.
Screw that, Oculus sold out. It would be safer to back Sony's Morpheus, or perhaps whatever Microsoft might be brewing rather than 'buying' back the Rift. If Oculus started things up with their own money, and then sold to Facebook... That's one thing. However, using kickstarter money to fund their project, and then being bought off by Facebook afterwards... That's just low.
At the moment we're in the denial / knee jerk reaction stage of this Facebook / Oculus announcement.
When I first heard the sale went through I was pretty surprised, and the initial reaction was negative - purely on the basis that FB have bought other companies, and some of them have vanished or been re-purposed to take advantage FB's data collection, micro-transaction, advertising based model.
We shall see if this acquisition is beneficial or not.
I'm hoping that the Sony VR unit is both PS4 and PC compatible, as it will save me having to buy two headsets.
Well it not that it sucks it the company that selling the product now. We knew Oculus was about gaming so we could behind it also valve was helping with development are they happy with this?facebook is not about gaming it about social features so now Oculus will headed in that direction also already mentioning ads as possible revenue this is worrying. So to boil it down to two words it sucks! pc now need new vr maybe valve should make one now. Support ps4 vr as its a gaming vr also microsoft when it comes out (better not have ads). Yes ads worry me alot I hope to not see day when it is accepted in gaming meduim for stuff we have paid good money for.
Yes, yes.. It's true. We sold out, but it's not like we stabbed any one in the back. It's just business and I promise our goals are the same. Trust me guys, we're the same indi company, just a lot richer now.
In light of recent events, I hope Valve finally changes their mind about making VR units.
