VRFocus- The 2015 Game Developers Conference is just weeks away, taking place on 2nd - 6th March 2015. The show will see virtual reality (VR) developers out in force, with both Oculus VR and Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) confirming that their latest respective head-mounted displays (HMD) will be showcased, while plenty of other studios will be showing their software. A number of VR-related sessions are being hosted, one of the most important of which has recently been revealed. Legendary developer and Oculus VR employee John Carmack will be talking mobile VR at the show.

GDC Cannot get here fast enough. Nvidia is teasing something big "5 years in the making"-methinks it may be the Pascal structure or maybe even producing their own Cell Phones.
PLUS Steam is bringing in the new OpenGL and will be unveiling some Steam Machines that may come with SteamOS.
The VR potential excites me beyond belief and I truly think thats the next evolution in gaming peripherals.

BC_Master_Haze3411d ago

Agreed, but mobile VR seems useless with today's cellphone tech :P I'm more interested in what nvidia has to do with oculus (I think they said something about VR a while back)

This is very significant. Great news.

shinoff2183171d ago

Is it just that easy? I'm genuinely asking.

Babadook7169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

For a few games it's pretty easy. Just need to apply the mod and settings. For most of them of course you need tinker yourself with settings at the moment but it's not that hard (apparently).

RiseNShine169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

It's as easy or complex as you want, most of the big games like Hogwarts Legacy, Atomic Heart, etc, , hundreds of them (check flatscreen to vr discord) have some profiles already made, so you just load them and it automatically sets the best settings others modders have already found, so it's a matter of minutes, but of course you can tinker for hours to make it suit your needs.

Praydog is amazing..not only made a lot of modern Resident Evil games to work in VR, now its Unreal engine games...definitely a talented guy

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.

Babadook7407d ago

I agree. It would sell better on PSVR2 right now.

Knushwood Butt407d ago (Edited 407d ago )

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?

Abnor_Mal407d ago

Not into F1 racing, but still a missed opportunity.

ApocalypseShadow407d ago

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.

Abnor_Mal407d ago

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.

Knushwood Butt407d ago

Just watched the trailer of Low-Fi. Most definitely on my radar.
