The Oculus Rift virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display’s second development kit (DK2) started shipping last week, with a number of developers lucky enough to already receive their kits. Many of them are indie teams that have been set straight to work on their own VR compatible videogames while others will be buying it simply to experience VR technology. 343 Industries’ David Ellis is likely in the latter category.
Halo Infinite developer 343 Industries has moved to explain a recent microtransactions price hike following a community backlash.
so they made several changes how the helmets etc work, however, ive never seen anyone raising prices in a shop due to changes THEY made.
There is absolutely no reason for ever raising the price of cosmetics. They are some of the quickest assets to create but charge silly prices for them. Its greed. There's no other way to spin it no matter what the game is.
343 Industries will continue to work on the Halo series going forwards, but other studios may get involved in development, it’s been suggested
man what a failure halo wars 2 was the only good thing from this series on xbox one/series
10yr plan new ring that can change over time slipspace engine all gone now halo is another steam game sitting in the background.
Kids/teens today have no clue they halo we grew up with.
If a cod dev gets involved then that will be worse current cod out now is only popular because its the best out of the crap pile. i launched it the other day 4 cash shop popups one unskipable add then 30min trying to find the game through all the mt's.
It's good to see that 343 cannot handle the task and are looking to do something. But how many years have gone by where there has not only been nothing to show, but issues. Microsoft is the issue here. And as of just 1mth ago with Refall, it has been proven again. Guess what,,, Phil S is NOT a developer and not does he have any legs to say a damn word about development. Wake up people.
crazy how indifferent ms is about one of the biggest franchises in gaming. it looks pretty bad when you don't even have a clear plan for your flagship title. ms just has no idea how to make good games anymore.
Morels: Homestead, a relaxing game in which you can create your own unique homestead, is available now for PC VR.
While VR is exciting, the companies who are keen to bring us these "experiences" need to do a really good job on justifying the cost. Especially if it requires a headset and a camera device.
inb4 someone comments ''OMG HALO WITH OCULUS?!?!?''
No, that's not going to happen.
Yeah doubt they actually use it to make a game
Ladies and gentlemen. The future is here. What better way to start than with a triple AAA title of such magnitude!
MSFT owns a chunk of Facebook. Facebook owns Oculus. MSFT needs an answer to Morpheus IF it's successful. Oculus already runs on Windows. Makes ALOT of sense. But I don't see this taking off till we can send 1080p to BOTH eyes. X ONE would need some kind of add on to more than double it's performance, unless Dx12 and cloud are real. I wonder if MSFT can use Kinetic to better track body movement in VR.
