Jason Rubin Discusses Franchises in VR: ‘Call of Duty in VR won’t work very well’

VP of Content at Oculus VR believes that bringing established IP to VR is good, but only if it’s fit-for-purpose.

Psssshhhhh, I played RE7 loving it all the way through in VR and that wasn't a short experience.

I bet people also thought playing a game longer than a short experience was also a mistake in the beginning.

Lack of creativity won't work very well. VR works when the player is manning some machine like tanks, planes, cannons. Call of Duty doesn't have to be about running with a weapon. You can pilot a helicopter to assist troops or AC-130s etc.

While I agree CoD isnt a good fit for VR, games like Final fantasy, Mass effect, Grand turismo are prefect for the platform. The problem Ive noticed is too many companies not crafting longer experiences in VR, I dont want a 5hr game for 30$.

Today's VR is best for slow placed games that don't require fast reflexes.

The multiplayer VR shooters on PC are awesome. Perhaps you should try one if you get a chance. Onward, Pavlov and Bullets and More are all great. I love how you actually have to look down the sights and actually aim the gun and how you actually have to eject clips, load and cock the weapon. Gets intense in a firefight.

Venoxn4g2357d ago

I will disagree..there are fast and good games that work well like Doom vfr, farpoint..even Until dawn rush of blood can get intense.. cant wait for more

Scatpants2357d ago

Onward works pretty Fing well. I'd rather play that over any non-vr shooter. It's like you're in an actual gunfight.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos2h ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

So it looks like they have abandoned unreal for future iterations of the game and are sticking with ego. So that means no decent VR support on PC and none on console seeing as the ego can't handle it properly. I think I'm done with this franchise it's turned into fifa with a hefty price tag and no innovation from one year to the next. Time for someone else to have a go at this licence
