VRFocus hosts an exclusive interview with Ru Weerasuriya, CEO of Ready at Dawn, discussing their forthcoming Oculus Rift exclusive title.
Zombie Army VR is creeping onto VR headsets later this month, and here's everything you need to know about Rebellion's latest.
Across its 21-year lifetime, Ready at Dawn developer the Echo series for the Meta Quest, along with Daxter, various God of War spinoffs, and The Order: 1886.
They signed their death sentence when they accepted to be bought by the lizard Zuckerberg.
What a freaking shame, almost every time a developer leaves Sony they end up in shambles.
we have heard nothing from Quantic Dream for ages, - supposed to be making multiplat starters game.
I think they are making star wars game. They should be fine because of Star Wars name alone if their quality is closer to their last games...
lol, a bit dramatic there. Meta saw interest in them, hence the buyout. They made some amazing VR experiences. They were never a Sony developer or studio. They made a few games for Sony systems, but also for Nintendo as well.
If they made ORDER 1886 £30/25 then it would have sold a lot or made it 10-12 hours long...That game had potential. its one of those decisions which will haunt them for the rest of life or maybe Sony did the pricing hence killing the sales...
The price really was the biggest issue. The Order wasn't necessarily a "bad" game. It was far too linear, as in it was literally corridors and hallways for the most part. There was also zero replayability. But all of that would have been fine if it was priced to match. I remember the game was $80 in Canada and I felt very much ripped off after having been hyped for the game.
Even if there was potential for a sequel I can understand why Sony passed on it. With a launch that suffered backlash as bad as that, it's really tough to justify spending even more resources to build a bigger, better sequel.
That probably kept them afloat for longer, if anything. They were interested in pursuing VR games and Meta seemingly gave them more runway.
Sad.
Can they somehow release the PC version/source code of 1886?
They showed it off in SIGGRAPH. It's fully playable. Just needs a release.
Why would Ready at Dawn release a PC port/source code from an IP owned by Sony PlayStation?
Of course, it's not going to happen ... but a near complete build of a game, which was even showed off publicly at a conference, will never be made available .... and that bums me out.
Sony would have the code in their archives, not Meta. Ready at Dawn, thankfully, doesn't own the IP or itd be gone with the shutdown so, there's still hope for you yet, just not from Meta because as was mentioned, it's Sonys IP
Sony has the PS4 code in their archives .... Ready at Dawn should have both the PC & PS4 code in their own repository. Meta doesn't even come in this discussion.
You do know Sony owns the IP right? How do y'all know what The Order 1886 is but don't know anything about it? Y'all are s****d or something. READY AT DAWN DOESNT OWN THE IP, NEITHER DOES META, ITS OWNED BY PLAYSTATION, it's their intellectual property. Read a book on IP and gaming
Maybe drop the caps lock and chill out, buddy. This a bizarre reaction and needlessly hostile.
You can inform people that don't know this stuff without being so dramatic, yeah?
Morels: Homestead, a relaxing game in which you can create your own unique homestead, is available now for PC VR.
I think a lot of devs jumping ship for VR exclusive development are setting themselves up for quite a sharp fall. Especially when their games are exclusive to a single VR device. Even if the game is the best ever, if Occulus doesn't take off then that's going to hit these studios very hard.
Seems to me as though it would make sense to spread their risk over multiple VR platforms, and perhaps make their games playable in a traditional first person perspective too.
