The recently released Alien: Rogue Incursion has had a big impact on the evolution of VR gaming, for better and worse.
GORN 2 is out now, and in this review you'll learn why it goes hard to improve on the original with a brand new developer.
Meta revealed that an Xbox VR headset was on the way back in 2024, so where is it? And what form can we expect it to take?
Yea, the problem is that the games worth playing in VR in Microsoft's catalog do not run on Meta OS. Hands down one of the best VR experiences I've had was MS Flight Simulator, and you need a beast of a system to run it well! The one thing that could push Meta headsets is an "official" release of Minecraft VR. You had to do some workarounds before to get it running in VR (which is an amazing experience, I don't actually play the game flat), but they just removed all VR support for the game after an update at the end of March. Bring it back with an official, easy to use Meta Quest version. I wouldn't buy an XBox branded Quest, but I'd at least like to see them do a bigger push into VR. Doubt they'd do it bc it's still so niche, and they're struggling atm and trimming the fat as it is. (But omg, would I kill for an official Forza Horizon in VR w wheel support!!)
I'm not sure that a Metaquest with an Xbox logo slapped on it constitutes it being an "Xbox" headset. But whatever.
Hololens is a damn cool kit... problem is price. So if there was a cheaper 2.0, I'd be down for that. I know you are trying to make a dig, that just shows you never experienced it.
Let’s be real for a second no Jk if Microsoft didn’t do a vr when Xbox was hot halo, Forza and gears was exclusive and sold systems there is a 80 billions of reasons and 1billion degree below Zero chance it will not be released in the near future but hey I’ve been wrong before 🤷🏿.
Future of Xbox is to slap an Xbox logo on things like slapping a Windows key on a keyboard.
yeah and the funny thing is is I was considering buying one before they made it pointless to own one. Not only will I not buy one this generation, I have no faith in the brand being relevant or support in the future so I doubt I will ever buy one. I can't see any situation where I would ever choose xbox over the other systems.
What new VR games are launching this May? Here's the full rundown of titles confirmed for Meta Quest, PSVR 2 and SteamVR.
For some reason people think VR is not a thing. As if we aren’t getting amazing games in VR.
Yup. They don’t use one and assume therefore it’s dead. In reality it provides the very best experiences and is healthy despite being niche.
to be fair I honestly don't know how many of the games listed here would fall under the "amazing" category. But it seems there's stuff there, for all sorts of different folk.
For the most part, just get a PSVR2 and the negative impact is gone.
