VRFocus reports on Linden Lab the creator of Second Life, has invited a select amount of developers to help test its newest platform Project Sansar.
If there's an opportune time for him to boast about Linden Lab's experience building virtual worlds, it's now: Facebook's acquisition of Oculus VR has driven the concept of virtual reality back into the public consciousness. In fact, a beta version of Second Life that supports the Oculus Rift is available for users to test right now. But despite this, Altberg seems cautious about relying on VR as a lure to draw new users to Second Life's world.
Second Life could be on its way to consoles as a job listing appears on Gamasutra.
Linden Labs is after a development manager to work on "multiple platforms". The position is for their San Fransisco based offices. This could be for a new IP however there has been no such word from Linden Labs on any new games in the works.
Could Linden Labs be getting ready to port their world famous Second Life to next gen consoles?
It certainly fits in with the new MMO games coming to next gen, Diablo, Elder Scrolls Online etc
Yeah but I can see Sony letting it happen, so whatever. Xbox's policies to strict? Move onto other hardware. I did.
Why would it not be possible with the new policies? The new policies allow MMO's on X1. Like Elder Scrolls.
Need to be behind a paywall and no cross console play is allowed(X1 players can't play with PC or Ps4 players)
There might be more but those are the main two
Which is irrelevant since his comment is about a service that has been available on a home console for nearly 5 years. Second Life would be the new comer there.
Which was besides the point.
In my opinion, these things are lame.
Second Life is WAAAY beyond PS Home. They look similar, but SL lets you do virtually anything you can imagine. It's also pure chaos and the graphics engine sucks. Frankly I hate both of them
Getting lost in fictional worlds is already a second life. I don't need a third one.
Agreed. I'm 40 and between all the crap in my 1st life, I.E., ex wife, teenage daughter, job burdens, medical insurance, cable company extortions, my damn truck blowing a head gasget, crazy people in my apartment complex, outrageous cell phone prices, a bad back, an over bearing mother, crazy ex girlfriends and that popping sound my knee makes I just don't need another one.
Lool, well said. I agree these things are really lame and not too mention weird.
Valve top secret super brain wave computer is doing well i see... HALF-LIFE 3, HALF-LIFE 3 EVERYWHERE !!!
We want it now, soon... well some time in the next 50 years, Valve >_>
