I just like the Larry Hyrb photo bomb!
AR is the future, that's why it is self contained, portable, and $3000. VR is really just a segue into the AR market. AR, once it can adopt a better field of view will be able to do both VR and AR, and VR only headsets will be dinosaurs. VR is simply the best consumer tech that can be made affordably right now, that's all.
We don't know that MS couldn't make OR work on XB1 any more than we know MS is making a more powerful Xbox in order to support VR though. MS still has potential with its Irides VR solution, which has been in development for nearly as long as OR has. Why would MS spend years developing cloud based VR enhancement if it serves no purpose? E3 is only a few weeks away, and I'm hoping for some real news about all these console/VR rumors, but I seriously doubt we'll see much about...
Easy. Put him/her in the shower!
The real question is does this corroborate a new console is on the way, or that Irides will allow for Oculus Rift to function as a VR device for all XB1's?
Totally agree. I'm repeatedly "defying gravity in a vertical manner" for joy over this!!!
It's more likely to be slim console announcements than Neo/Scorpio though. I have a feeling that Sony/MS are playing the waiting game because neither wants to go first and tip their hand, and announcing at E3 could also hurt PS4/XB1 sales between the announcement and the retail release of the rumored consoles.
What? Okay!
I remember that rumor... it was months ago and it never resurfaced. I would looooooove a proper rally game akin to Rallisport Challenge 2 and Playground certainly has the talent to do it.
You might want to read up on that more, Jack. The external processor handles 3d specific audio For PSVR as well as sending an output to the tv so people can watch what you're playing. Like I said, "...audio, etc." The PS Neo rumor is pretty well substantiated, by several separate sources, but you are just as right not to believe them as I am to believe in their plausability. To me the power increase makes sense, the way it's being added with extra ACEs is logical, and the...
Really Jack, I didn't say PSVR couldn't run on PS4 at an acceptable level. I said it was barely passable, meaning it is at the lower limit of being functional. It wouldn't have to interpret frame data if PS4 was powerful enough to run things natively. It also wouldn't need the external processor for audio, etc.
Tell me, if you're this angry at me for suggesting it, how angry are you going to be with Sony when Neo turns out to be real, and PSVR works ...
I can see your point even though I disagreed with you. I just think it's hard to ignore the Morpheus/Neo relationship in the code names. In the Matrix, Morpheus needed Neo in order to mount a successful revolution, and without Morpheus Neo would never have been discovered. Neo also saves Morpheus' life.
Don't get me wrong, I do think that the PSVR experience can work on PS4, well enough to stand on its own if they program the games right, but when you see anyt...
So jailbreaking your console to turn it into a Steambox is an advantage?
It's one game that can be played on two versions of a console, how else could it possibly work?
2Pacalypse, what you're talking about is games being patched to support DX12. When a developer makes a game FOR Win10/DX12, that game will automatically scale to the device it is being played on, including tablets and phones. 1 code for all platforms Win10 supports. Hence: UWP. \ö/
I'm not sure how to interpret all of the data at this point.
On the one hand, you've got the current PSVR experience which is producing graphically challenged games like GT Sport because it barely functions on the PS4. The fact that it functions means it is compatible with all PS4's, however, is a good thing.
On the other hand, we all know that Oculus Rift needs about 4tf in order to run VR well. Sony likely knew this as well, and must have ...
Vr should be weighed down with porn, not sexism.
Holy crap. Bad framerates, choppy animations, twitchy controls, bad AI...
I know that Gears was intended to be Cliffy's homage to Resident Evil, but now Resident Evil is trying to be Gears of War with a little Rainbow Six thrown in? I hope this isn't what Capcom is doing to the franchise in general or things are going to get really bad for them.
What is this doing on N4G???
So Xbox One is likely to be getting VR support after all. To me, this category specifically targets Xbox One, and not the rumored Scorpio, because otherwise the category should be titled "Virtual Reality > Xbox". After all, Scorpio is not really an Xbox One if rumors are to be believed. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks, but things are getting interesting to say the least!
