Am I the only one who has absolutely no interest in VR?
Kind of disagree. There's stuff even on the first gen PSVR that are just exceptional, and that's not taking into account even more on PC.
I do think that many games that don't really push VR. But honestly, just using Astro Bot Rescue Mission as an example: just a fantastic experience through and through.
I use to think like this until i played Half Life: Alyx and RE4: VR on the Quest 2. Those games showed me what VR is capable of. Nothing else comes close to those games and they are the games worth buying VR for. Suggest trailing it before buying a Unit.
I hope this helps the device. Really great hardware.
I think they are just trying to get rid of left over stock that they can't sell.
Sad, but plausible. I hope you are wrong and this gives it a real boost.
creating a brand new adaptor because pc can't natively connect to it and creating a new app all to facilitate it is a hell of a lot of work for just that if that was their motivation. It just seems that they want widest possible adoption at this point since they never had intentions of investing a whole lot into first part development. It still won't support the headsets marquee features like hdr even though the adaptor theoretically could. There's obviously more to it than just jettisoning the product.
They already have all of that for the dev kits. They don't need to do much at all.
Hopefully this means that GT7 isn't far off from getting ported since if that doesn't happen next year it might never.
Been waiting a long time to get into PC VR. Looking forward to it.
