From the cost effective savings to the opportunity to do more with very little, this is a look at why VR studios should be focused on local and mid-tier conventions.
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.
Nice narrative. But this isn't a fully effective way. It's still targeting areas that would have more executives than gamers. Convention goers that are trying to sell their own products or dress up in cosplay. They're not there for VR. It's usually something else.
VR is on the right track when it comes to use in business, medical, educational, construction, job training, etc. There's no problem there except cost of hardware and creation of useful software.
In gaming, VR was on the right track by being where consumers go for fun. Like arcades, restaurants, etc. Which was similar with how gaming grew in that same fashion. Pac man was in the arcade. But was also playable on a tabletop at pizza hut. Then, gamers were able to play versions are home. VR was gaining ground until covid happened. VR is still getting traction in some areas. But until the virus is contained and proper cleaning, up tick of VR use in arcades will be slow.
And although Facebook may be doing well visually by subsidizing Quest, they're not really leading when it comes to growth. They're only getting traction when it comes to gamers not wanting 180 degree, wired console VR after 4 years with PSVR, and not wanting to spend a lot for an expensive PC and headset. It's the same group of gamers. And, giving away headsets to employees isn't growth. Because there's no guarantee those employees buy games like core gamers.
VR will get there eventually. It's just that some wish it to happen overnight. Basically jump to the point where regular gaming is now, that took decades to get where it is. Which isn't going to happen. It just needs time.
