Very informative. Cant wait for VR.

ask yourself this, will sony allow it's big studios like naughty dog to make psvr games and not some quick cash-in style games. i mean actual big production games that will require psvr to play? you can't expect ubisoft and the other publishers to if you aren't.

so until that happens this is why i will keep saying psvr and even the oculus rift and htc thrive, will all be treated like a peripheral. it doesn't make much business sense to go all out when the install base is starting from 0 on a system that will be 3 years old by the time it comes out.

and those are the games that will make the best use of it. not games like gt sports or any other aaa game with psvr optional use.

Replace the words VR in the title with Eye Toy, PS2 HDD, PSP, PS Vita. I don't exactly have faith in the success of anything Sony makes besides the PS4. That "best approach is making games for PSVR" is just that, an approach. I doubt, given their track record, that they will continue support for the long term since their trend is to give up after a while. Their lack of perserverence in making games for the great handheld devices they made led to the death of their handheld market. I don't know, maybe they'll be the first company to beat the peripheral curse but the odds are seriously stacked against them in my opinion.

This isn't an accessory in Sony's eyes, its a new platform, and is being marketed and planned as such. there are over 50 titles to be released by the end of the year (3 month period) and we all know they have to hit certain requirements before Sony gives to all green on it. sony learned alot from ps3 days, and alot since they released ps4. they are changing their departments all over to how they market the playstation brand.

TheCommentator2975d ago

I'll agree with you on that. As I stated, they may be the ones that beat the curse of launching peripherals. Sony does seem more focused on PSVR than anything I mentioned in my original post. I think the biggest thing going against VR right now is the price; OR, Vive, and others included. The other thing that is unproven in the VR market is whether or not there will be sustained interest by consumers or if, like other attempts to change how we interact with our games, interest will wane in favor of traditional gaming.

Definitely has an uphill battle, i'll agree with you there, but i believe at least, that sony has been planning this launch, and continued support for a long time, they bought the theatre in Time Square and named it Playstation Theatre after all. that may not seem like much, but i believe the brand of Playstation (not the console it self) is for entertainment purposes. Playstation Vue, Video, Now, and the Theatre. All of these, plus the restructuring of Sony Interactive Entertainment points to one thing, VR. Sony is gonna be pushing VR movies eventually, they started with The Walk experience, and have something for Star Wars next year. i wouldn't be surprised if they have VR Cameras (360degrees) in their Playstation Theatre to let VR users experience concerts or live events in VR. With the introduction of Powers TV show last year, i could see them eventually bringing about a VR enabled TV show specific to Playstation Video/Vue. They spoke about how they want to struct business models after the success of the PS4 and that is already clear with PSVR. but i believe it is for their other sections of SIE, Playstation Vue and Video. We will probably hear about a new exclusive show from Playstation, or some sort of partnership with another exclusive tv provider, ie. HBO.

i am also expecting some sort of announcment of updates to PSN this year at E3, specifically about Playstation Plus.

crazyCoconuts55d ago

Profchaos55d ago

crazyCoconuts55d ago

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

DaReapa55d ago

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.
