Virtual reality was all the talk at the Game Developers Conference this week. From Sony to Valve to Oculus to Sulon, a slew of companies showed off virtual reality technology that they say, will carry us well into the future.
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.
VR is not the future of gaming, is just an option for gaming nothing more nothing else.
Gaming will always be best on your television
VR has a much better chance at becoming a success in the entertainment industry than ever before because the optic technology has greatly improved within the last decade.
Also, to make VR a reality it needs the necessary hardware power to render scene that are lifelike to the naked eye. This was something that wasn't available a decade ago, but it is now.
Of course, VR technology has failed number of time time b/c it was lacking on certain technology that weren't good enough, or there wasn't any manufacturing methods to make the parts for VR affordable. Like the screen for instance.
Screen that has a Back light/edge light/etc weren't good enough to have the proper VR experience, which have resulted to very bad latency/lag.
Truth of the matter is we have the tech side covered to make VR a hit.
My only concern I have with VR are the amount of games it will have.
I'm a firm believer that what can't be done on a small scale, can't be done on a big scale as well. The amount of games that have come out for console is ridiculously low, so will VR.
However, i still believe VR will succeed because of the amount of you tube vidz I've recently seen. I've watched grandpa and grandma laugh their head off when they put on oculus headset for the first time. Not only was I taken by their reactions, I was extremely fascinated by how they enjoyed VR when they weren't even in to gaming. That tells me a lot that VR is not only for gamers, its for everyone because VR taps in to the one thing that we all have experienced before, EMOTIONS.
VR has been around for a LOOONG time. 3D has also been around a long time. They both survive, but are niche markets. Just like 3d, VR will ever become the future of gaming, just its niche carved out of it.
