what, a guy who has created a legacy for himself as a great game developer? Pretty sure he knows more about this business than you or me combined...

VR still has a lot of work ahead of itself if it hopes to become mainstream. I own a Rift and a PSVR, and I can respect his statements as well.

And I'm pretty sure Sony knows more about the console industry and game creation than he does. If we were to compare Sony's successful hardware and software to Cliffy's work, Sony's work would lap him around the block a couple of times. He doesn't make the amount of games like Sony does. He didn't create any portables or VR. He was part of a successful company and some games true. But if we were to compare even Sony's game engines to Epic's or his, Sony would win there too. It is his opinion on first gen VR. Doesn't mean it's completely correct.

As for the article, every company has said over and over that VR will take time to grow. Individuals looking for overnight success like Wii are being unrealistic.kionic posted an article that if every gamer read it, they would get some idea about VR/AR funding.

It's lengthy, but very informative. If gamers read it, a lot of the nonsense spoken in the threads would cease. Some developers like Owlchemy Labs(Job Simulator) have already made money from VR. Even with the current VR installed base of headsets. Proving VR can be fun and profitable today.

PSVR or any high end VR headset is clunky. But they are new. All technology at the beginning is clunky from the first TVs, MP3 players, game consoles, cars, etc. But each got better and more streamlined over time. To bash the introduction of modern VR is foolish because there is nothing to compare it to. The fact that he knows it will get better make his opinion pointless. To find fault instead of the positive aspect of VR doesn't help the medium. Especially since he hasn't made a VR game yet for any headset to talk.

Also, if we were to know again why Sony decided on the hardware they chose, it most likely follows the lines of cost for them and cost for the consumer to buy. Which, if everyone read the above link, would understand it's a process of small successes that potentially lead to big ones. VR headset successes today will lead to next gen ones that will be ground breaking.

A basic 360 degree video on YT with a camera floating through a game world on YT gave me a headache. You are living in a fantasy land if VR in its current form is going to just explode onto the market any time soon.

were u using a PSVR, Gear VR, Rift or Vive?

CrimsonWing693024d ago

The problem is people need to see it for themselves and the pricing needs to be a bit more accessible. Having it cost as much as a console doesn't help. There's also needs to be more developers doing what Capcom did with RE7. More AAA titles for the device.

I think it's awesome as hell, but now it's like games are just slowly dripping out for it. What they need to do is make games that can be played without it or played with it much like Capcom did. That way the software sells and the more people play a game and see the reception of the same game being played in VR they'll likely be more incentivized to purchase VR.

It’s definitely an upgrade, not sure about massive.

Grilla13h ago

It is massive compared to the switch 1. 6-10X the power, but compared to current standards it’s the bare minimum.

RedDevils13h ago

It's just a minor upgrade nothing special. Could have included the Oled screen but greedy Nintendo have something planned for it already.

Yesyes13h ago

Oled screen means nothing when people have OLED tv's.

Rage7712h ago

You are self aware of how dumb and "sheepy" that tagline of "greedy" sounds like at this point in time, right?
Every little entitled twat on the internet has used it ad nauseum, as if all of a sudden you somehow struck gold or something. it ALMOST sounds as infantile as the other meme vomit brain rot: "Defending the billion dollar company, blah, blah" FFS. tell me its "irony" at least what you are trying to express, so at least i can give you some credit for being "clever" or bold. I refuse to believe you ACTUALLY believe what you are saying, unironically,

repsahj13h ago

Great review! We have almost the same impression of the Switch 2. I don't care if the screen isn't OLED, because when I put it next to my friend's Steam OLED screen, they barely deviated in quality.

anast12h ago

Better than the Steam Deck not as good as the other consoles on the market.

PanicMechanic2h ago

Steam deck is the best handheld on the market, so no.

As someone who has been gaming nearly as long as gaming has been around (since the early 70's), you'd think I'd be against this. Having grown up with all the major platforms and the whole notion of physical ownership... but I'm not. i embrace this as it is a revolutionary convenience. And one i know for a fact many (especially here) have not even given the fair chance to use. I get it... i was there too. But now i have a new outlook on it. It really is a hell of an option if you just want to play with no commitments. By no means am i saying this should replace traditional gaming, its an option. And one that people should look at optimistically as a way to compliment traditional gaming. There is room for both to thrive.

I tend to use streaming on new games in GamePass. To see if I like the game. If I do, I'll download it for a better experience. It's so convenient & useful.
