Everything is moving to the Cloud, why isn't VR?
Atlus Fes 2024, an event to commemorate Atlus' 35th anniversary, was held in Akihabara, Tokyo on the weekend of 8-9 June 2024.

Star Wars Outlawa has some real potential. I loved the Fallen Order games but the abundant timed jumps at times took me out of the narrative as they could be come frustrating. The branching options and status with factions looks great.
Prince of Persia 2026…REALLY? And that’s all they had for us…a candle.
Jesus. Imagine if they didn’t give it to a shitty support studio and tried to sell us a sloppy remake years ago
Now we have (no hate on quality here) two PoP games no one asked for. We could have been anticipating a Warrior Within remake by now.
LOL!! They should have even announced it. They should have just waited a year from now to announce it with some gameplay. Lame.
No surprises just updates on existing games & games that have already been announced. A lame show.
The Summer Showcase wrapped up with a taste of what’s to come from Woodrunner Games, an indie studio featuring developers who worked on Cuphead and Rick and Morty. The game will be fully revealed later this year, so keep your eye on the studio’s social channels and website for more.
Cloud power has potential. Freeing up calculations so that programming and development of a game can be placed elsewhere. And it's not that gamers who follow technology don't think it doesn't work. It's that there isn't a great internet experience worldwide for cloud gaming to happen. Any hiccups in frame rate is going to kill the VR experience.
Secondly, developers aren't going to spend money developing cloud based processing until there are enough headsets on the market to bring cloud to VR. It's why smaller experiences are being made now because the cost to make games can get expensive and why some VR experiences are priced high because they are trying to profit off a lower player base amount of users.
But eventually, it will be used in some games. Possibly next gen. This gen may be too early to look for it.
