Could Virtual Fallout Save VR?

VR is a baby technology, it needs an older brother, like the wanderer in Fallout 4, to teach it about the world.

VR doesn't need saving from a company known to make decent games. But also buggy, unfinished, untested,uneven frame rate games that need patches. Do they even bother with betas and Q&A? VR needs a smooth experience or don't do it.

VR, unlike 3D, is entering sectors that 3D had never gone. Not just gaming. Educating students on the past/present/future, simulations for astronauts, how your house or building will look before being built in real estate, being part of a cinematic movie, seeing your music come alive or being part of the music video, creation of virtual art, how a car looks and test drives before being manufactured, virtual travel or sports entertainment...

I could go on and on. 3D is nothing like VR. VR simulates environment. 3D was 1 dimensional in 1 direction with limited depth. Notice I mentioned all that above before mentioning games?

No one game will be the face of VR. As each consumer has a different preference. Yes.More deeper experiences and more money invested has to be made. But Fallout is just a drop in a big bucket of water. Where it's not the best game or Bethesda not the best developer with the best game engine. So, no. VR will be fine with or without them.

freshslicepizza3377d ago (Edited 3377d ago )

that's ok, we get it, you are just preparing yourself just in case there is no vr annoucement for fallout 4 on psvr which is likely because the ps4 would struggle too much to run the game. the pro would handle it fine but sony's parity policies won't allow the pro to have any exclusive content.

there are some fun games on all vr devices, we all know that, but we also know it takes big titles to push hardware. problem is vr is still a peripheral so the commitment will not be there like we see for regular games. and yes, even with its bugs fallout 4 is still hugely popular. over 13 million sales and over half of them are on the ps4.

then again sony isn't really helping the vr cause. they signed a timed exclusive deal for resident evil 7 in order to help promote psvr. at this stage in the game it would make more sense in having a universal collection as to not fragment an already small community. this is why valve is public about oculus and their exclusives. but we get it, it's a business.

andrewsquall3376d ago

Don't worry moldy, I'm sure the install base of ZERO people with Scorpios so far will ensure Fallout VR's exclusive Scorpio's success. Keep telling yourself that.

Talking of preemptive attacks, nice one there in trying to imply that if Fallout VR does come to PSVR, that it will be crap and it will all be PSVR's fault, even though it will be a game simply running on another GDDR5 capable console family. We aren't talking Xbone levels of technical compromising here.

S2Killinit3376d ago (Edited 3376d ago )

Oh moldy. VR is already great. It doesnt need saving.

(although you been singing a different tune for a year now, wonder if that will change with MS's VR)

andrewsquall3376d ago

Also moldy, when did Bethesda become the beacons of technical achievement??? Have you even SEEN Horizon Zero Dawn at full 1080p on a standard PS4? Its stunning. We already know what a game engine built completely on GDDR5 architecture is capable of.
There is no doubt Bethesda will completely screw this up on a technical level like they always do, especially on the PlayStation side. But again, we needn't worry, you will be here to tell us how its all Sony's fault and Bethesda are such a perfect dev and couldn't possible mess something up, even a little thing called QA.
Next you will be telling me Bioware didn't screw up the Mass Effect franchise forever with that latest mess of a game.

freshslicepizza3375d ago

Lol, you mention Horizon like that has anything to do with VR which runs at higher frame rates. Even on the Pro the game Horizon runs at 30 fps in their so called performance mode.

Yes Horizon looks great and better than Fallout 4 but putting it in VR is a whole different ballgame. You think VR games like Resident Evil are comparable? It has nowhere near the open world of Fallout and that game isn't really a good looking game either compared to Horizon.

So I'm sorry to tell you that PS VR is going to have to be playable on the regular PS4. So to expect an open world game like Fallout 4 running at frame rates to be playable on psvr is questionable to say the least. If driveclub had to reduce it's car count to get it's frame rates high enough on PS VR, what would they have to do for Fallout 4?

Resident Evil 7 made people look at VR in a way where we can finally say to a new tech "this has IMMENSE potential" FO4 couldn't and wouldn't save VR, if anything RE7 kept VR from being just a tech demo onslaught of releases.

I haven't tried FO4 in VR, but if they can follow Capcom's steps and improve on that even (stupid darker visuals) Then FO4 has the potential to keep VR a thing till the next big app comes along.

PressPlayBros3376d ago (Edited 3376d ago )

There is no saving VR. VR will eventually be the future of most gaming, not any time soon, but the future. It is in it's infancy. Could Fallout or other games better the present realm of VR? Yes if done properly, but save? VR isn't going away.

Exvalos3376d ago

People already crying about vr sickNess, I can only imagine how many of you will be whining and crying playing fallout in vr

andrewsquall3376d ago

Lol I read that like "Can Fallout VR save Fallout?" When did VR need saving?

Einhander19713376d ago

I'm glad I never bought psvr, saved my money and bought a switch instead. Psvr needs a convincing E3, else don't try and convince yourself it was £350 quid well spent. If software starts coming then I might purchase down the line. Until then PS4, switch will do me fine.

They need to look at Morrowind and see what the progression should have been from there instead of the regression we got with the next 2 games. They weren’t horrible games but they could have been so much more.

-Foxtrot228d ago

Fallout 4 just felt too streamlined and accessible to me, the perk system was not as fun as it was in Fallout 3, not saying Fallout 3 didn't have issues but 4 just felt like a complete step back.

mastershredder228d ago

So the part where you just sold the same games for the last 10 years while you focused on 76 and merch, was not a reset from the "creative" aspect eh? How very Todd of you.

lukasmain228d ago

I bought Fallout 4 (I loved Fallout 3) at launch and I couldn't bring myself to finish it or even get close to finishing it. It was soooo damned boring and bland. I played on a very hard difficulty and I had hundreds of stimpaks. One of the only games I've played for a while and not ended up finishing it. I hated it. Just flat out hated it.
