Peter Jackson Working on Potential VR Videogame or Movie

Virtual reality (VR) movies are rapidly growing in popularity just as they are with videogames. While several flimmakers have either released or begun work on 360 degree videos that can be viewed with the likes of the Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD), some of the most influential people in the industry are starting to take interest in it. Peter Jackson, the director of The Lord of the Rings trilogy and, more recently, The Hobbit trilogy, is the latest Hollywood name to be tied to the technology.

Dead Alive in VR! That lawnmower scene would be beautiful.

SaveFerris3421d ago

How about 'Bad Taste' in VR?

WeAreLegion3421d ago

That, too! Oh, I wish Jackson would revisit the horror genre.

Here's some food for thought.

Peter Jackson was supposed to be working with Microsoft on a game in the Halo series: http://www.halopedia.org/Ha...

Spielberg is doing some Halo stuff, and MS is working with VR, so could this be something they've discussed with Jackson and in partnership with? It wouldn't surprise me, as MS likes the big names.

even if it was not related to the vr tech,hearing peter jackson gonna spend one or two year in the new zealand's sets might be related to the tolkien works which is still very interesting news

vr?thats really great!

Profchaos42d ago

I'm excited for that to plus I can try fallout 4 VR always wanted to play that

crazyCoconuts42d ago

I was lucky and held off on 4 until I played it in VR. It really is pretty awesome - you'll love it.

The icing on the cake would be if Sony / Valve allow for a Steam Link app much like it is for the Quest 3. Likely wishful thinking, though.
