Mozilla's Asa Dotzler, in attempting to visualize the Web's user growth since 1996, gives two startling suggestions, neither of which will endear him to the Microsoft Internet Explorer crowd:
1. The Web has about doubled in size since Safari and Firefox came on the scene, and since that time, Firefox has captured almost half of that growth;
2. The Web is still growing really, really fast. (This visualization) demonstrates how quickly a dominant player can fall, not from users switching, but from growth alone. This is part of what makes Microsoft's desktop monopoly and its lock on the PC (manufacturing) channel so dangerous and potent a weapon. Even if they don't get people to switch, just owning the first experience is worth about 100 million new users a year.
In all the decades I have been a gamer, I have never played a game that gave me so much control. Men of War 2 is overwhelming, and that can be both a good and a bad thing.
Square Enix's upcoming action role-playing game, Kingdom Hearts 4, will not be making an appearance at Summer Game Fest 2024.
Playstation Blog writes: "Players will have access to buy and play Steam’s expansive library of thousands of VR games, including fan favorites like Half-Life: Alyx, Fallout 4 VR, and War Thunder."
Yeah, with none of the headset's standout features. No HDR, no eye tracking, no headset feedback, no adaptive triggers, and no haptics. Don't get me wrong, it's still a quality headset with good lenses and screens, but without those features it is not a no-brainer for PCVR, it falls more into the "it's fine" category and you get better value elsewhere with the PICO 4 and Quest 3.
Still, if you already have a PSVR2 and a gaming PC, this is a huge extra value for not that much extra money. And if you have a PS5 and a PC, this might be worth it for you as well. And hopefully someone can mod the extra features to it in the future, then it will be back at the no-brainer category for PCVR.
Perhaps the Sony PCVR releases will have those features? I mean not every PCVR game has them because the other headsets dont support them. We can assume them making the headset work on PC will also bring along some of their VR titles that will include the things you mentioned.
I think one of the Vive headsets supports eye tracking so I'd think SteamVR has an API for that at least. Hopefully they'll add in support for the other stuff over time
"if you already have a PSVR2 and a gaming PC, this is a huge extra value for not that much extra money." this is my situation, and I think it's great. Even if I won't get all the headset's features for the PC VR games, I'll now have access to 2 of the 3 main VR platforms for just the cost of the adapter.
This is sad to here. One step forward and 2 steps back. If PSVR isn't doing well on playstation, why do they believe they will find more success on the PC with even more competition over there after crippling the headset.
netscape say hi. :D
