Classic chicken and egg scenario. The hardware requirements for good VR are not even possible in a $5000 PC right now. 4k to each eye at 120 fps!! That easily crushes 4 titanx in SLI.
VR will take off when ALL of the hardware needed (console and headset) cost less then $300.
You will never get a AAA title until 10-20 million people have the same comparable VR system.
You know the PS4 is only as strong as a 750ti right? Oculus Rift requires a minimum of a 980. It also wants 6+ gigs of vram on top of 8 gigs of system ram. PS4 struggles to hit 1080p@60hz.
"On the raw rendering costs: a traditional 1080p game at 60Hz requires 124 million shaded pixels per second. In contrast, the Rift runs at 2160×1200 at 90Hz split over dual displays, consuming 233 million pixels per second. At the default eye-target scale, the Rift’s rendering re...
We've only had to wait 3 Christmases. Seriously! This gen has been really disappointing. Everything good is available (and better) on PC. PS4 is pretty much just Bloodbourne. Xone is just Forza and Halo.
Crackdown & Scalebound for me.
Another thing you learn is how many people play Xbox wasted / stoned off their gourds.
Lol. So true. Before avatars NPCs would never blatently wreck you.
Total BS. Only way this game is a 7 is if the scale goes to 100. Literally one of the most boring, broken experiences of all time. Absolutely no plot, no purpose, and flying around in the universe is painstaking and boring.
Worthless flame bait article. Xone is outselling 360 by 3.5 million units, which is around 20%. The launch is as relevant to the state of the Xone as the Wii's success is to Nintendo's NX.
Can anyone point to more info on the supposed coprocessing unit? Without at least doubling PS4s power, good VR will not be possible!
Sunset is over 1 million now.
This is by far my most anticipated game for Xone. I have no idea how good this will look, how it will perform or how it will impact gameplay - but it has the potential to be revolutionary.
There are a number of reviewers that have reported extreme eye strain and/or motion sickness with VR in general. Don't take it personally about your favorite company.
3D TV is a great example. I went to see the new Star Wars in 3D and almost left during the previews. The movie itself was fine, but it shows that how you implement something, and the quality if the technology matters a lot.
VR needs to be 1440p TO EACH EYE at 90hz - MINIMUM. 4k to each e...
For a long time I thought this would be a huge fail as 1.8tflop is not enough power for good VR (1440P to each eye at 90 hz). I have subsequently heard that this will come with a coprocessor box that essentially xfires in another 1.8tflop.
If this is true, it might be OK!
@Thisgengaming. Uncharted is April 2016 too. Lol.
I own a xone, and I don't think there are 10 MUSTOWN games. There are a ton of great games, but must own on Xone are FH2, HMCC, Halo 5. Dragon Age and Mordor are must own, and I own both on Xone, but I could own on PC. SSOD, RotTR, Chalice, Forza 5/6, Ori, Dead Rising are all great gamed - but not must own.
Ok read the article and to be honest (seriously I am not fanboying, I have an X one and no PS4), I see only a few Xone games that are "nice to have" but none I would have paid for (except 2 I bought WAY before they hit gold - Black Flag and Chalice). Seems 360 got a ton of great stuff.
Do you own the games forever, even if you quit Gold? If I start gold today can I get the old titles?
Really insulting article. I was hoping for something calling out filthy pirates, but this was just some anti gamer making fun of gamers.
Having lived in Boston for 8 years FO3 did a tuurrible job of recreating it. Few a and the Commons were a disaster. Haven't yet seen them take on Faneuil Hall, the Patriot trail, Back Bay (Commonwealth Ave) etc.. yet. It doesn't feel like Boston, so I don't really bother looking anymore. And the scale is all screwy. Of walked from Back Bay to Cambridge. It's 20 miles round trip. It takes all day.
PSVR will be lucky to sell 1mm units in its 1st year. It's going to cost >$300 and the initial titles will be very simplistic graphically
