Oculus Rift is £499.99. That's not cheap, and certainly means at least for a little while, it's more aimed at a niche audience than a casual one. It probably stops that VR video game revolution for a little while as well. If the device isn't in thousands of people's hands, it's support will be minimal at best.
But is this any real surprise? And should there really be such a revolt? Technology has always been this way and is unlikely to change anytime soon. That doesn't make it right. But it does make it a fact of life. Let's investigate.
Thirdverse, the Japan-based VR studio behind Swords of Gargantua, Altair Breaker, and X8, announced that its VR multiplayer JRPG SOUL COVENANT is coming to all major headsets next month. Developed by the core team behind SOUL SACRIFICE (2013), players are thrust into a post-apocalyptic Tokyo in the franchise’s first VR expansion.
In a very recent development, Capcom has announced that the VR mode for the “Resident Evil 4” remake is scheduled to be added on the 8th of December as an update and will support the full main story campaign, offering an unprecedented gaming experience to its users. However, RE Series fans have another reason to rejoice as there is a possibility that RE Series might get a VR Version in the future.
Morels: Homestead, a relaxing game in which you can create your own unique homestead, is available now for PC VR.
It's quite clear that this thing isn't for everyone, the fact that it requires an expensive rig to run it to begin with places this in the 'Enthusiast' category by default.
It's a fad.
