We’ve been hearing a lot about Microsoft’s plan to launch a whole new Xbox gaming system dubbed the Scorpio at E3 2016. It is expected to be 4-times times the power of the Xbox One due to the rumored 6teraflops hardware specifications.
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.
Anything is possible. No one knows who will end up on top with VR.But you got to look at the facts:
Microsoft will have to get most developers to become exclusive making games on the windows 10 platform which includes Xbox. Or, build development studios that will crank out hits on a consistent basis.
Oculus can't crank out hits. They don't have the experience of creating hits. They would have to buy them.If you remember, they are competing against Sony. Pick ANY GENRE, and Sony has a hit game in that field made by some of the best studios who are awarded on a consistent basis for their work in raising the bar. That can extend to VR as well. Microsoft doesn't have that pedigree either. And this is excluding Sony's movies, music, television, etc that Sony can make exclusive to PSVR. And PS Vue is delivering the cable.
Next, if Scorpio doesn't launch this year, that gives Sony ample time to sell units.which, if PSVR sells like PS4, it will give Sony the development lead for third party games. Gamers always think more power is the way to victory. It isn't. It's always a variety of games, ease of development,lead development and worldwide acceptance.
If someone says, "no, if the games look better, people will buy more." like PS4 sales. But that's not necessarily true in this instance. Developers don't know if VR will be a hit and become part of the industry. So, they are making bite sized VR games. No one is making big games right off or willing to spend lots of money to make bigger games for a device even if it's stronger in power. Vita learned that against 3DS.
Also consider cost. A new console and a rift won't be cheap. If gamers are lambasting Sony on the cost of both PS4 and PSVR, what do you think they will say to paying even MORE money to jump into VR with Scorpio and oculus? Price advantage goes to Sony as Sony is selling at profit with $399 and $499 bundle that we all know the headset and accessories are cheaper than that. They can just lower it even more. But we'll see. It's not as easy as you think.
Dominate with what?
No install base. MS will need to reset its console gen from scratch lol, because its good for gamers.
Oculus Rift cost 600$ + Xbone S 500 $
Yeah i dont think so, sound more like a fanboys wet dream.
Cool look forward to more news on the matter .
The leap when 2nd generation VR devicesget launched will be comparitive to going from "coal to electricity". So I'm going to go easy on first gen investments.
