We all knew it was coming. Virtual Reality is the next step in gaming: total immersion, total control.But how could so much potential be so unrealized?
Samsung Electronics today unveiled Galaxy XR, introducing a new category of AI-native devices designed to deliver immersive experiences in a form factor optimized for multimodal AI.
The VR Games Showcase has come and gone.
So much stuff has been announced and revealed. We get our first look at games like Grim, Hitman 3 VR, Vendetta Forever and much more.
Here is everything that was announced.
Laundry, cleaning and classic arcade games all in glorious virtual reality
It needs a must have, super appealing game.
Article starts off wrong. Let's begin...
**The PlayStation VR headset costs $400, only plays VR-compatible games**
FALSE. You can play regular games in cinematic mode.
**requires its own separate controllers**
FALSE. You can use the dual shock controller.
**Except, in order to use it, you have to have another gaming platform to use it with. One which also costs $400**
FALSE. PS4 costs as low as $250 and also plays PSVR. Not just the $399 Pro. See how this article is already garbage? And, how else was Sony going to make it work without something to power it? Oculus and Vive require powerful PCs. But Sony isn't allowed to use PS4 as PSVR's power unit?
To say you need a great sound system or the best HD TV to play PS4 is also false. Only thing right so far is that PSVR is kind of expensive for the average user.
**You know, kinda like how a Nintendo Switch can only play games made for the Switch, and so on.**
Got D@%& duh! What else is it going to play? Xbox? PC games?
**Virtual reality can’t survive in the same market as $60 games and $400 consoles**
Sigh... PSVR games cost less than $60 and again, this idiot forgets that PS4 also can play PSVR which isn't $400 in price.
**I’ll gladly take a pure virtual reality console over a double-priced double console.**
Ridiculous! See above.
**It needs more time to grow and develop**
Finally got something right.
**Unfortunately, something this big and pricey will need an entire company backing it fully. Sony, Microsoft, and even Nintendo can’t afford to, not when they have their own consoles to worry about.**
What? Sony is supporting PS4, PS4 Pro and PSVR. There's more than 100 games and 60 more by early next year. With games like ace combat 7, sairento, doom, dreams, etc to look forward to. The only thing needed is reduction in price. But prices lower over time just as any platform does when it's out long enough. Like PS4 started at $400 and is now as low as $250.
VR is just starting out. It has entered gaming, education, science, construction, art, real estate, entertainment like music and movies, etc. It took gaming 40 years to get where it is today. Don't expect VR to take the world by storm in a year's time. Common sense.
Its been a year give it time, the ps4 didnt have any killer apps in its first year and this is an accessory. Also I find that most people who are touting vrs failure are people who havent experienced it or people who much or less would never invest in vr, even if they could afford it. I love my vr and have faith its second year will be epic. Resident evil alone was worth the asking price. The occulus rift has some amazing games too.
The gaming community is pathetic tbh all we see on a daily basis is doom and gloom articles about how this and that is failing. Or why you shouldnt buy this and that because of someones bias. Devolopers are turning into poltically correct shills that could not care less about their communities. Journalists have secret agendas against their unfavoured console/platforms.
They then jump at the oppurtunity to bad mouth or tout something as a failure just because they know they arent investing in it. Look at the vita, the amount of hate it got was insane. Nobody takes a leap of faith anymore. Articles like these are part of the reason vr could end up failing.
I still remember reading simillar articles about the ps4, thank god Sony had a plan and stuck with it.
We dont deserve nice things, whenever a franchise or new tech comes out, all I hear is criticism. Also dont forget the pathetic first review of a newly released game, that gets a bad score for hits. Its sad actually.
I think we all have a part to play to make the community better, because as of right now the gaming community is as toxic as Godzilla...
- Expensive
- Socially awkward
- In its infancy, technically and developmentally
- No compelling software
