Strategy Analytics forecasts that only 3% of Brits will own a VR headset this year and the PlayStation model will account for just 7% of that number. The bulk, it says, will instead own more basic "shells" into which they can slot a smartphone.
BBC Click's Marc Cieslak put the PS VR to the test and had reservations of his own.
Cloudhead Games has announced the VOIDSLAYER update for Pistol Whip, adding three new scenes in June for all supported platforms.
Laundry, cleaning and classic arcade games all in glorious virtual reality
It's sometimes claimed that PC VR usage on Steam is shrinking, but here's why that isn't actually true.
Vr is dope. Idk know why people wanna hate. It's definitely a dope next step. Even if it's a sidestep. I really wish more developers would throw down. Imagine a last of us with vr, or a final fantasy game, all kinds of stuff. It would be incredible.
Why does the news media always get some clueless journalist to review and comment on gaming technology and game news? That was just so uninformative I feel like I've been retarded in some way.
There's 64 million people in the UK.
3% = 1.92 million sales in just under 3 months.
That's pretty good in my books!
What was the verdict of PS VR because the article hid it away
This journalist clearly is not a gamer and is prone to over-dramatisation such as with his crack about "wiring a building" or something like that. Yes, there is a fair amount of cabling but Sony has made it so easy to attach the PSVR to your console that even a child can do it so clearly this journalist is not as smart as a child. Of course wiring in this day and age of wireless hardware is inconvenient but the PSVR is part of the FIRST generation of VR hardware and as the industry matures, the hardware will get better and I am sure we are not too far away from a wireless headset. All three major brands of PSVR, the Rift and the Vive are encumbered with wiring.
No mention of what games are available for PSVR and why it represents the best chance of VR succeeding, Just a look at a couple of games and not even the best of them which are Driveclub VR, Rigs or Eve Valkyrie as well as a brace of other smaller games.
BBC should do better!
Well I dont expect casuals to buy it so that narrows the market.. Still, I think PS4 owners surely are interested..
