Ark Survival Evolved Dev : Xbox One Scorpio Is Powerful Enough For VR

Jeremy Stieglitz said that Xbox One Scorpio not only looks to be powerful enough for virtual reality it also makes it look good

Meh, Ark is a buggy frame dropping mess, can't even reach a solid frame rate at a sub 720p resolution on any console and they think they can get it to a state where it can be run in VR? Sure!

Also, due to the slightly higher resolution of the supposedly compatible VR headsets, Scorpio needs to render 25% more pixels per frame, also due to the locked framerate of 90 fps while PSVR can do 60/90/120fps (where 60 will be extrapolated to 120) it also means Scorpio needs to render 50% more frames per second, totalling 87.5% more data to render PER SECOND.

For Scorpio to compete with PSVR on the PS4 Pro, MS will have to make their own VR headset or partner with someone else's for which they can do the extrapolation thing as well from at least 60fps (and not 45fps as the Rift can do these days).

But in any case I don't see Ark run well in VR on any platform!

Yeah, it's called the Scorpio, I know :)

Just read what I say...

Tctczach3340d ago

The whole point of the link was that they partnered with oculus.

Yohshida3343d ago

You mean just like they partnered with Oculus, HTC VIVE, HP, DELL and Acer??????
You better make up some bs instead of believing what THE DEV BEHIND THE GAME actually says. Guess you should tell them how to make the game. Chances are, they know what the Scorpio has in the BOX, while we know almost nothing.

Aenea3343d ago (Edited 3343d ago )

Still, Ark is a frame dropping game at very, very low resolutions on the consoles, I don't feel they are the right dev to say anything about VR :)

And yes, I know all the partnerships, Vive & Rift will work am sure, but Scorpio needs to do more work for those than the PS4 Pro has to for PSVR, no clue as of yet what the other VR headset will do spec wise, do you?

Is it so hard to actually read what I say without automatically disagreeing with it?

- Ark dev is not the best source for anything related to VR in my opinion
- currently the VR headsets we can expect to be compatible with the Scorpio will perform worse than PSVR on the PS4 Pro, this is not an opinion, this is fact, it needs to render 50% more frames per second and 25% more pixels per frame to achieve the same visual results...

Yohshida3343d ago

All those partnerships I just mentioned are being worked on to run perfectly with Windows 10. Guess what System is running the Scorpio?

Those are actual developers and they not what they do. They constantly put out performance Updates, its just hard to run such a huge game on such little hardware like PS4/XONE are.

Doesn't matter vr for gaming will be a fad and die out quickly now watching movies sports games and other things vr is promising

Yohshida3343d ago

@krypt1983

I freaking hope it dies really quick and I dont even want Scorpio to have it. They need to shift away from traditional games to make some bs VR experiences, noone plays over and hour. VR atm is an even bigger gimmick than motion control.

They've got to work on optimising the game as is before worrying about VR.

Gazondaily3343d ago

Definitely expect VR on Scorpio. Of course it's powerful enough. It'll be the most powerful gaming console ever this year.

It goes in line with the cheaper VR headsets that Microsoft unveiled earlier too. Expect more open ended support.

I have a feeling they'll go hard on VR support but ultimately, it needs the games.

Whilst Sony's efforts are more admirable as they actually made their own bespoke hardware for VR, as time goes on, I think MS' wait and see approach with VR seems to make more and more sense.

I'm not seeing masses of hype for VR atm. It's still early days. It takes one big killer app to change all that and I sense that it's coming.

But the funny thing is, MS' tagine, 'no one gets left behind' is obviously nonsense here because the X1 owners will be left behind right from the start as the console isn't even capable of doing VR.

20live3343d ago

I agree Scorpio will most definately be VR capable

EverydayGuy3343d ago

It will be interesting on to see if it can match PSVR, since PSVR is the bare minimum on quality wise most people can tolerate.

In addition to offering some frank thoughts on the nearly seven years since Crimson Desert's reveal, Powers also shared his larger hopes for what the game can accomplish as a standalone action adventure away from the shadow of Black Desert Online."
