How Big can PS VR Become?

PS4News: "Virtual reality is likely to become very popular, and the PS4 is the perfect platform for gamers to experience the technology."

sammarshall1023760d ago

I can see this being like motion controls, 3d gaming and the rest

VR is being pushed but I can't see lasting

Kurisu3760d ago

It has the potential to be huge. Whether that potential will be fully realised over the years to come, who can say for sure? Whatever the outcome I'm looking forward to it and I'm looking forward to eventually getting my PSVR.

amiga-man3760d ago (Edited 3760d ago )

VR will impact all of our lives, people imagining it just as a gaming device have no idea of it's potential, there is a reason literally billions are being poured into VR, far more than 3d or motion controls ever saw.

VR is here to stay and will become more sophisticated and polished over the years.

Exciting times ahead.

Lord_of_Cinder3760d ago

Last time with 3D and motion controls I did not saw such a big movement from big companies like Facebook, Samsung, Google, HTC, Sony etc etc

I did not even saw the industry moving forward as now they are moving as the Porn industry, NASA, marketing and theme parks.

DigitalRaptor3760d ago (Edited 3760d ago )

As Lord_of_Cinder has helped convey, the future of VR has all of these huge companies working together towards making VR a hit in the mainstream: https://twitter.com/VirtuaM...

These companies are investing now, together, learning valuable VR design and technology lessons from each other and forming strong relationships in building these new experiences - it's really something invaluable that motion controls, 3D gaming "and the rest" didn't have on its side. They were all very unique to one specific situation, whilst VR is a collaborative effort the results of which look to be converging all at once after years of efforts.

Collaboration and combined strength is going to help more than detractors could anticipate. Not to mention it's not only the gaming sector. It has the gamut of gaming, adult entertainment, music, film, science, healthcare, education, tourism to explore and draw resources from.

VR is far bigger than gaming. I'm talking massive. Only the naysayers disagree because Sony is at the forefront rather than their select competition. VR has the backing that BluRay did.

I think people need to stop with the whole VR is only for gaming mentality. Don't get me wrong gaming in VR will be cool and gaming will have its place. There are so many more uses VR can be used for besides gaming such as live events like concerts or panels Movies real estate could use VR to show homes VR could be used to show off fancy cars. Lets not forget about the porn industry I'm sure they will have there place in VR as well. The possibilities are endless. VR is the future.

Lord_of_Cinder3760d ago

Big enough to make VR mainstream.

Free_Fro3760d ago

Now that almost every industry is taking part. It has the potential to be big...

If it were Sony doing it alone, then I would easily write it off as another vita or 3D gaming.

But, everyone is in the VR thing now.
So it might actually take off.

Not really you said so many times that VR would be just a fad and wouldn't last in the industry.

You don't believe in VR but gamers like me do.

Wallstreet373760d ago

Imo it is the next evolution in gaming and is poised to be super big and next standard. All the big companies are behind it, the demand is obviously there and everyone is putting tons of money into it. It will be like 2d to 3d which is good because although 3d graphics have taken over they still coexist.

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

Cacabunga75d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot74d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose75d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE75d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername74d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy75d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde75d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8674d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8674d ago (Edited 74d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300075d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle75d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7775d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
