You'd also think it wouldn't be an expensive series to produce - now they have a decent engine, campaign setups should be simple and if they use the same approach to cutscenes then as long as they licensed stock_dog.jpg that should save the some money.
Full VR campaign on PS5 please Namco
I really can't help but wonder what happened--and what the state of completion is--on all the VR assets from when they were hinting that it was going to be its own dedicated VR campaign. I played the first VR mission just to get my feet wet on launch day, was blown away, then held off on the remaining two and finished the main campaign, then went back and tried the last two missions. VR really improves the game in so many different ways, I find it impossible to believe the devs themselves didn't just take the headset off and say to each other, "Holy crap, we've got something special here."
They MUST know how good the VR is, and they're doubtless reading forums like ERA and seeing us talk about how great it is, so I'd really love a Blood, Sweat & Pixels--a la Jason Schreier--story on AC7's development, and see what, ultimately, brought about them initially going from, "VR will be its own campaign!" to "VR will have 10 or so missions" to "VR will have 5 bonus missions!" to finally, "And we've got a VR bonus of 3 missions!"
SOMETHING happened during development, and I'd love to know what.
