Great option to give to your users Valve! I already filter out explicit songs on Spotify. Those who like the nudity side of things that's your choice and has been since gaming began. But this is a sweet move to allow families and people who cherish their partners to focus on them, instead of some virtual flesh. Can you watch sports without the athletes being naked or doing something sexy? Can you get served at a supermarket without them being naked or being sexy? Guess what... Surely you ...
Can we look at facts lovely people? Gaming VR is around 2 years old. It's first gen meaning gaming devs are still exploring ways to play and there's no clear winner on standardisation yet. Similar to 3D TV its a great experience for early adopters (ie. People who are always first to try out new tech). Most people with 3D tvs are unlikely to upgrade anytime soon. TV is one of those things which consumers just don't update regular it's not see as a must upgrade. However, like th...
Will Switch have the same appeal as Wii? Wii sold over 100million! I hope it doesn't go down the limited appeal way like N64, gamecube or even 3DS. I think PS4 has passed the 3DS in sales as of Dec 2017 as announced today. So does that mean 3DS is losing its appeal? Hopefully Switch can reach 3DS figures of 68million and more :)
I'm loving 4k! Seeing Horizon Zero Dawn, The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Fifa, etc Sharp and crispy is a lovely bit of jubbly. Just like how I can't go back to CRT from full HD. And now I can't go back from 4k to 1080p. And even if waiting for true 4k is out next gen my TV is ready. Lg 49UH610 only cost me a week's wages at £400. Bargain but a fantastic picture!
Um don't forget if you truly care for the switch you'd buy a protective screen and carry case as well. Some people can't play zelda with the joy cons and are happy to upgrade to proper joypad. Plus bear in mind Nintendo games rarely go cheap within 6 months, whereas Xbox/ps4 games do. So yeah switch is pretty expensive compared to Xbox/ps4 considering all these factors.
Let's wait for it to sell 30million... Then I'll have an idea whether it'll have stamina to attract a new crowd instead of the usual Nintendo fanboys. Nintendo systems seem to start of well but after 3 years it's the same franchises over and over again... Yawn fest.
Hey would you trust a strangers opinion when they've never owned or tried a service in life? Would you trust a fanboy who likes 'their choice of gaming' but is prejudice against other platforms? Seems to me there are some trolls out there who are trying to wreck the whole VR revolution. If you want honest and TRUE facts, ask people who OWN the devices and tested them over many days, not just a rush job 10mins and then see their TRUE reactions. As a owner who is open minded and bee...
Motion sickness disappeared for me by 3rd day. Like driving a car or playing gaming for the first time the more you play the easier it becomes. Oh I highly recommend taking it slow when you first use it, like move head smoothly rather than 'Jerky look' until your brain gets accustomed to it. Similar analogy... No one first gets in car and speeds of at 80mph and expects to control it!
And ease of comfort is amazing. I lie on my sofa, psvr resting on a cushion and I'm watch...
Chill ppl! Xbox is about to release exclusives in a few months time and Phil Spencer said Microsoft is committed to new IPs. The 5th year round of battle starts in last part 2018! So yay Xbox fanboys let's get ready in 6months time! Better late than never right ;p
If MS and ninty start VR development all gamers win! More projects. More jobs. More new IPs. And it gets Sony excited to push themselves harder with fresh COMPETITION! wouldn't it be great if VR industry grew?
Microsoft only delve into successful markets not invent or be first to create new IP or hardware. If VR makes a billion dollars in a years time expect Microsoft to jump on board! Ninty lol are ninty. They just do their own thing.
Depends on game. There's loadsa reviews out there. After successes of Skyrim VR and Resident Evil 7 and Battlezone maybe future games will move down this free movement control scheme. When FPS first came out on PC eg. Doom, quake, rainbow six there wasn't a standard for nearly 5 years. Anyways hope this answer your question :)
Dude. Got my PSVR today and it rocks! I paid £300 for bundle. If you love games and gadgets this is the bees knees. I you won't regret it seriously! I've had it for 4 hours now and haven't even started gaming on it yet lol. So far have tested YouTube VR, watched Rogue One In 3D, watched Stranger Things 2 on Netflix all on its cinema mode. It's frikkin amazing it's like sitting 3 rows in an Imax cinema. That alone has blown me away as my 4k tv feels smaller lol. Then ...
It'd be nice to see Peter return to the gaming community and be passionate about games again instead of the lure of corporate greed. Hey Peter don't forget how little money you had when you made Populous or Theme Park, all without a corporate ruling over you! We all make mistakes and get tempted along the way. By God's grace He can lead you back to good ways and thoughts. Game on dude... Don't give up. Be reborn and show EA that you can build up a successful gaming studio BUT...
Ouch! I hope that doesn't happen to you one day when your boss rolls in and says 'You're fired!' without warning.
It's funny cos microsoft bought some of the best game studios in the world (when they were independent). But after joining microsoft these studios somehow become worse? But if we compare to Activision who purchased studios (blizzard, infinity ward, sledgehammer, etc) or EA (bought frostbite, bioware, chillingo) or Sony (naughty dog, insomniac, etc) all these companies have only gone from strength to strength and letting their studios thrive and prosper. So is it the game studios to blame ...
@khaotic But buying a PS4 and cheering its success is something meaningful. It means with our hard earned cash we WISELY and SMARTLY researched which console was better for running and playing games - and it clearly shows that majority of blockbuster AAA games run smoother and look better on a higher performance PS4 than its nearest rival Xbox one. There is satisfaction in knowing that a huge number of intelligent people have voted by buying a ps4. Can't you just humble yourself and say y...
@richie007bond r u the guy behind gadgethippo? I knew a guy like you once - he hated anything to do with Sony just cos his son worked at Microsoft. You might want to try VR first before you make judgement. Else pride will stop you from trying out something new and worthwhile. Why not give it a chance? It'll create brand new industry and job opportunities. I read somewhere 75% of school kids have tested VR and want it. Remember Facebook? Adults said it was pointless. Students were first to...
I totally agree PS4 for me has been the favourite PlayStation so far. When I slap on SNES I look at the polished quality, sound, graphics and come to respect how the devs at the time mastered the art of 2D. Even now SNES is superb. When I slap on my older PS-PS2 games I see so much experimentation and grimace at the poor controls, the awful dialogues, the try too hard to be better than the other consoles persona. SNES knew its power and the devs knew their way around it. Similarly the PS4 and...
