SteamFirst: According to some reliable anonymous sources, Valve may be in talks to buy, or at least exclusively license, the Oculus Rift virtual-reality technology. The reasons for this, aside from the obvious gains on both sides, is to bypass a certain patent or license that Oculus VR owns. It would seem, but has not been confirmed, that without Valves direct involvement the Oculus Rift may have some trouble going forward.
Morels: Homestead, a relaxing game in which you can create your own unique homestead, is available now for PC VR.
Electronic Arts has confirmed that while F1 23 will support PC VR it will not support PSVR 2 on PlayStation 5.
That's fine. GT7 would overshadow it anyway at it has open wheel and regular cars.
Should have been spending their time updating Squadrons with better resolution, frame rate, haptics, etc as there isn't a game like that on PS VR 2 yet.
But it's EA. They don't think.
A wasted opportunity, but I don't buy EA / Codemasters stuff anyway. Grid Legends just came out on Plus and I haven't touched it. Why would I when I have GT7 and PSVR2?
That's where opportunity presents itself that they could offer something else that other developers haven't offered yet. Yeah. There's No Man's Sky. But a space game with a story would be great. Like the old days with Colony Wars.
Exactly, they could have possibly lured more players just from the inclusion of a vr mode.
I miss Colony wars and G-Police, Low-Fi I hope will scratch that itch when it releases. We also need a vr War/Starhawk game.
Here's a forgotten VR gem for you from 2019. Epic Games' action-packed Robo Recall, which is also available for Quest 2.
Although I never owned an oculus, I played the demo for this at an electronics store. Pretty impressive in an early goings of VR title.
"reliable anonymous sources"
That phrase is a really bad way to give your story credibility, especially when there's no link to any source in the article itself.
OT: We'll need to see if the VR idea takes off. There's no point in buying a license like this if the market is untested for VR controls.
Not buying this. Considering the have said the will be supporting them. And this comes from a site that has made up stories in the past and tried to past off old news as new and inflated benchmark numbers.
for some i wouldnt be suprised. it just seems like something Valve would like and therefore buy.
I'd be all for Valve buying Oculus Rift, can't imagine a better PC developer to support this product and I honestly wouldn't be suprised if it was true, Valve have been supporting Oculus since day 1.
I hang around their forums alot as we picked up a developer kit,
I would be very suprised valve took them over, the recently had a huge investment of $75 million ontop of what they already have and made from the dk1 and previous investment
Oculus is palmer and nates dream, maybe sometime in the future but i really do not get that feeling off any of them there this is the direction oculus is being taken in
