The Doom reboot was great so this should be good. Considering that MS owns them now, I wonder if this means Xbox is gonna get VR support of some sort?

Daddy-Like1930d ago

I certainly hope so. I like VR, but not entirely buy something else to play it on.

mkis0071930d ago

They will likely just allow third party sets.

Neonridr1930d ago (Edited 1930d ago )

I'm surprised they don't just enable support for a device like the Quest 2 and allow a USB-C cable to be connected to the system. The headset has everything it needs (controllers / tracking) and the console can power it. MS has a decent relationship with Oculus dating back to the original CV1 of the Rift.

Tacoboto1930d ago

Microsoft won't own Bethesda till later this year officially, so it's more interesting how Flight Simulator already has VR Support.

Nothing Microsoft makes really stays a secret though. If Windows Mixed Reality is getting ported to Xbox I'm sure we'll hear of it

DJStotty1929d ago

Oculus etc support for xbox, i do not think they will release their own branded headset.

Doom VFR was a good game, the use of the Aim controller was precise. The only slight negative was while using the Aim there was just a grenade just there not attached to anything. Still, it was a good game and I had a lot of fun with it.

Profchaos1930d ago

Doom vfr was fantastic such a shame about cyberpilot thought that killed VR for Bethesda

Abnor_Mal1930d ago

Was cyberpilot the one set in the Wolfenstein world, and you control a dog mech or something. If so, that game looked terrible and wasn't worth a second look. If they would have done a regular wolfenstein with B.J. I'm sure it would have been a better game from the jump off.

I purchased Doom VFR and didn’t make it past the training level. Massive doom fan since the 90’s but Doom VFR just felt horrible on PSVR. The system just wasn’t ready for it. Horrible movement, horrible controls, terrible graphics then some extreme motion sickness to go with it. Didn’t find it a good experience at all.

Abnor_Mal1929d ago

Thats a shame that you didn't find the game to be fun for you. You say that the movement was horrible, which control scheme did you use. As I said I used the Aim and was able to move freely and when needed I could also teleport.

I figure if only using the Move controllers, not sure if you could, but if so then the movement would be a little frustrating having to only port to where you need to go. Regular dualshock control movement was probably good but the lack of free aiming for me would be a negative.

The graphics in my own opinion were good not great but that's do to the limitations of the headset, but still functional to get the job done. I dont suffer from motion sickness, so I can't speak on that.

Let's hope their next vr game takes care of the problems you listed, and of you buy it have a better experience than the first.

I dont have the aim controller. I absolutely hate the report method. It ruins VR completely.

@likasumboody PSVR isn’t shit by any stretch. Smart phones don’t match it whether they have higher resolution or not. Despite PSVRs low resolution the screens themselves are actually really good limiting screen door effect etc. So although a lower resolution I actually find it much better than a higher resolution Quest for example as the immersion is much better.

It was the controllers that absolutely ruined the PSVR experience. The move controllers were an absolute embarrassment!

Looking forward to the PSVR2 tho. I will definitely be picking one up.

XxINFERNUSxX1930d ago

Pass, no interest in VR at all. It most likely will never be dominant. I was hoping for another hardcore FPS like Quake, instead of all this battle royal pussy shit. Quake 3/Unreal that's where the real FPS skill was and still is.

DJStotty1929d ago

We are well overdue a new Quake imo.

XxINFERNUSxX1928d ago

Exactly, we need another Quake 3 or something very close to it.

Shuckylad1930d ago

The original Quake begs for a full VR remake.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio8d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing8d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster928d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit8d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing8d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster928d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
