Heaven Angel Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Valve offers VR developers funding to avoid platform-exclusive deals Valve wants to help new developers avoid platform-exclusive VR deals in order to acquire financing. According to co-founder Gabe Newell, Valve is in a “much better place” to absorb the financial risk of creating a VR title; therefore, it is offering studios backing through “pre-paid Steam revenue.” “We’re in a much better position to absorb financial risk than a new VR developer, so we’re happy to offset that by giving developers funds (essentially pre-paid Steam revenue),” he said. “Our hope is that by providing funding developers will be less likely to take on deals that require them to be exclusive. “There are no strings attached to those funds. They can develop for the Rift or PlayStation VR or whatever the developers think are the right target VR systems.” “We have no exclusives,” said Faliszek. “We don’t think that’s a good thing for the industry, especially in VR where we’re starting out with a promise of presence after so many years. “We want to do everything we can to make sure VR succeeds, regardless of the platform. I don’t think a customer ever thinks a platform-exclusive game is a good thing.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Lol Naughty America VR booth was getting more traffic than Nintendo and Sony PSVR booth at E3.. Iam surprised ESA allowed Naughty America to open booths at E3. This pretty much confirms that ESA fears that big gaming companies will quit E3 and do their own show in future.

hope Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Got a chance to try VR today using Oculus & boy-o-boy...its superb...amazing...too good . Tried a simple roller coaster simulator app...the experience was comparable to those rides in Universal Studios. Definitely looking forward to the PSVR bundle now. And what about Headache?

WhiteWolf Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 You should avoid VR if you are experiencing headache or any other illness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
202croc Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Doom's 60fps gave me real uneasy feeling with super puckish feeling. As much as I want, don't think VR is gonna suit me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Have you tried adjusting FoV? Fast paced shooters usually makes one feel nauseous compared to other games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 If these VR companies want VR to become a mainstream mass market product then they should remove all platform barriers and release VR games on multiple platforms like PC, Mac nd all.

WhiteWolf Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 I saw some post on Oculus Reddit page, where some PC gamers are interested in getting PSVR over Oculus as it's a cheapest high end VR option in market, but they don't want to buy console for it as they prefer playing VR games on PC only. By allowing PSVR games on PC, Sony will get new audience plus more sales for headset. They can also start their exclusive PSVR store on PC or Mac. Don't release on Steam. No need to share profits with Valve. Keep your traditional PS games like Uc nd all as exclusive but release VR games on PC. Don't let Oculus and Vive control PC VR market. This closed infrastructure will not help Sony forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Sony is investing in VR content more than anyone They were thinking ahead of everyone 40m users out there have the cheapest AAA VR option Sony doesn't need anyone,others are dependent on Sony when entering the VR market if you ask me Yeah right. Facebook needs Sonys help to sell VR headset lol. Facebook will expand VR beyond gaming. Sony financially not capable of that. They will stick with budget VR gaming only. There are over 100m PC gamers out of which 75m are on Steam. Edited July 10, 2016 by WhiteWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their aim isn't to sell prvr games, their aim is to make people buy psvr headsets. Releasing their exclusive vr games on pc is the exact opposite of that.

Sony financially not capable of that. They will stick with budget VR gaming only. There are over 100m PC gamers out of which 75m are on Steam. And despite that psvr would sell double of oculus. It is not about financials. If that wad the case, xbox would be the best selling console evwry gen. Even beyond gaming, sony has a great foothold in television and hollywood side of the industry to push psvr in those avenues. Facebook doesn't have that liberty.

Even more headset sales plus more non Ps gamers will become part of Sony's PS ecosystem as they will be buying games from PSVR store on PC not some 3Rd party store. There's lot Sony can do by expanding Psvr instead of locking it down to one hardware. This is not the way to make VR a mainstream device.

PSVR would still be compatible with only ps4. Or are you saying that sony shpuld allow psvr to be used with pcs? Either way, sony exclusive vr games should remain exclusive to psvr. There is absolutely no benefit in making them available on other vr devices. Now, if you were saying that sony should make psvr compatible with pcs, i can umderstand that.

Facebook doesn't have that liberty. Facebook has unlimited amount of money. They can do 10 times more stuff than Sony and they can also afford losses which Sony can't. FB can also partner with any Hollywood studios expand it beyond gaming. Sony having movie production house means nothing and it gives Sony no edge whatsoever lol. And Most Sony pictures are sh*t anyway lol You will see more interesting stuff On Oculus and Vive than PSVR as Oculus and Vive are open platforms for anyone to create anything they want.

Big Boss Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Maybe sony designed psvr to only work with PS4. And now changing its design to make it work with PC isn't feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously They have to make it compatible with PC hardware for PC gamers to use it. Yes, I am talking about a special Windows or Mac compatible Psvr headsets for same price as PS4 one with better technology nd all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
