BNR: On March 25, 2014, it was announced that Facebook, one of the world's largest social networks, had purchased Oculus VR for $2 billion. For the sake of those who don't know, Oculus VR is responsible for the creation of the Oculus Rift, a virtual reality headset with advanced features, such as head tracking and what will hopefully be a low price-point.
This led to an eruption of angry tweets, confused gamers and the general upset of feelings. The general perception is that Oculus VR sold out- sold out to the commercial handmaid of the NSA, sold out of the suits and Wall Street big shots and everything that the gaming community wouldn't like to identify itself with. There's plenty of fear that the Oculus Rift will become some sort of retina-scanning spying device that forces gamers to integrate with Facebook in some capacity and report their gameplay to Big Brother, all the while being inundated by advertisements.
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.
I'm trying to make myself believe that oculous being backed by a super rich company with tons of resources will be good for the device and gaming in general but all I can imagine is farmville in VR with microtransactions everywhere.
