I don't get the logic with these publishers making these games exclusive to one platform when the bust level on a product like this is that high. Unless these VR games are cheaper than regular AAA or even indie games idk how you justify making a game that might legitimately only sell around 100k units lifetime exclusive. Smarter thing to do with all of these third party games is to release it everywhere.

agreed. exclusive will just fragment the vr community which will not be that large tot begin with.

I definitely agree. I'd love to see this game hit PSVR as it stands as one of the more interesting titles I've seen for the format yet. Apparently if I'm not mistaken though it'll be a graphically intensive & system taxing game. I believe they made it w/ higher end PC specs in mind, but if not or if they could scale it to fit on PSVR I would love to see this one on there at some point.

unfortunately, there is no standard in developing for the multiple platforms as everyone is doing their own thing. Once a standard is developed..ie who will lead the push, I guess the tools for development will be standardized, making it easier to go across all platforms.
