According to some, VR will never catch on. Something tells me those people will change their tone when MS gets their own headset. Then, it will be the best thing ever, kind of like with streaming games, cross-buy, cross-play and whatever else that has been out that MS decided was important.

When trolls who can't afford it will stop hating on what they have no idea what it is.. I love vr, I keep watching the releases

itsmebryan2235d ago

For me it's not the price. It's just meh so far. I used rift on my friends very high end PC and it didn't knock my socks off. Even when we used my Fanatec wheel setup.i gave him it was just ok.

Maybe be in next generation it would be compelling but, after using his setup for a few hours I was good. I had no desire to get a VR setup.

I have no doubt VR will be like "ready steady one" style in 100 yrs?

When something like the oculus quest can play something like Half Life Alyx at at least high settings with no PC/Console required and cost $200-$300

sprinterboy2235d ago (Edited 2235d ago )

Reduce the price $79/99/£129 or $149 and your probably right.

When there's a number of must have games and the headset is light, comfortable and wireless it'll be mainstream.

I played through most of the PS4 version of the game but stopped because another game came out. I bought it last year for PC with the intention of using the VR mod but haven't gotten around to setting it up. I am glad I waited.

Great game, even better in VR. A little drawn out by the end, but I hope we see CA do something a little different with the sequel.

OtterX321d ago (Edited 321d ago )

Sweet. I also rebought this game on Steam for the purpose of VR. I'll have to give it another shot w full immersive controls. I had only tried it out briefly before.

It's funny this was never officially released at retail as a VR game, bc it feels so perfect for it!

Yeah. Not the best dev by a long shot, but I've heard Bulletstorm improved a lot after the initial launch and all the complaints.

Abnor_Mal397d ago

I bought Bulletstorm VR but couldn’t get into it at the time, the controls were a bit off, but at the time I was finishing up Arizona Sunshine1/2. Most likely the reason the controls felt off, plan to go back to it soon.

I really wanted to love Outriders. I was hooked on it at first but it was so janky the further I got into it. I had to force myself to finish the game. I liked it just enough to buy the expansion but I burned through that jankfest also. It sorta gave me Division 2 vibes a little bit and that's what helped me through it. I don't think I would trust any of their VR stuff anyway.

Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!

DivineHand125445d ago

This is amazing. This is the direction VR should go in to boost adoption. Since I have beaten every Crysis except 1, this is now a good excuse to correct that problem.
