Tom's Hardware: If the next chapter in PC gaming is about to be written, that future begins in earnest today with the first commercial shipment of the Oculus Rift arriving in homes starting now. Four years of investment, tinkering, development kits, showcases and hype have trampled a path to the moment of truth, and while there is surely much more work to be done, it's time to see where we are, and whether it was worth the wait.
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?
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.
If only I had a PC that could run the games. Oh well, console gaming continues for me.
I like Toms Hardware reviews and previews. This sounds great, now cant wait for my PSVR which Tom also spoke highly of :)
"One of the first things you'll want to try in VR is first-person combat. It seems like a great idea. But shooters don't translate well to virtual reality, unfortunately. Running around in a VR environment when your body isn't actually moving tends to be unsettling."
Finally someone said it. The N4G population kept getting all angry every time I mentioned this in the past. Nobody wanted to believe that seated VR had some important game design limitations. Actually, even room-scale VR kinda has this limitation too. Your room will never be as big as a regular game level
I wonder how long until CV2, it would really piss me off if the next one came out next year.
I just wish they would update the shipping estimations.. I ordered the minute it was available but I still have no shipping date.
