VR is becoming a great addition to have but its not a "must have." Let's talk about what VR will need to do to become a mainstream device.
Alien Isolation Grand Mother VR is an all new virtual reality experience for Creative Assembly’s best ever horror game.
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.
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!
The Polish studio behind Bulletstorm and Outriders confirms plans to phase out its VR publishing activities.
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.
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.
Holger Frydrych has just released a cool VR Mod for the 2007 version of Crytek's first-person shooter, Crysis.
Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!
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.
Is Mainstream Ready for VR Success? I switched it. It's no longer the nausea that some get that's stopping it. That has fallen to the bottom of reasons.
As said in the article, it's not that consumers aren't interested. It's just expensive for most besides others not having tried it. And, there has to be functions and features that casuals can find useful. Cell Phones have become useful. Tablets And laptops are useful. VR just needs to get there on usefulness. But once it gets there, is mainstream ready for what's coming when VR becomes a success?
Also, with new chips coming that will outperform Oculus Quest, we need some of these companies to go right after Facebook. Google should have already been there and made a Daydream stand-alone headset with built in Hey Google. Amazon as well with a built in Alexa. HTC, Varjo with Pico, Samsung, Pimax, Microsoft and every other company wasting resources trying to be the top dog on PC, need to make stand alone their top priority. Doesn't make sense to try an outdo Valve or Facebook when it's their stores and games they are trying to be compatible with. Or, partner up as a **consortium** with a standard, unbeatable stand alone. Share the costs to build, share in creating the store and getting 3rd parties, share the marketing which would lead to sharing of the profits. It would bring better headsets faster. And cost to buy cheaper.
VR need tripleA games for it become mainstream sony has done a good job in my opinion with their psvr
I think next-gen is exactly what is needed for VR to become even more popular. More power and new hardware. There is 6mil PSVRs out there so it's already kind of mainstream. Not sure how many PCVRs is out there but number is probably in millions too. I bet parity in features like controllers and such would help too but that's mostly PCVRs fragmentation problem.
No.
As long as we don't need a YF-19 Valkyrie to bring it down. So sad!!!
