Jason Rubin: Oculus ‘Would Love’ To Trade VR Games With PSVR
- Thread starter Toumari
- Start date
I think it's a long-ish shot but that would be cool. The only reason I haven't bought Blood and Truth yet is because I kind of dread going back to PSVR after using the Index for a few weeks.
I don't think you would ever get Sony to do it with their WWS 1st party exclusives, but if would be cool if there are any 3rd party exclusives this would be cool.
I doubt Sony would ever do this. Oculus is more of a direct competitor than Steam is, and I don't see them releasing their games to PC in general anytime soon.
I agree those are very good games, but let's not act like Lone Echo and other Oculus exclusives aren't in the same league.
That's like Phil Spencer saying he'd like to trade Gears of War for Super Mario Odyssey. Good luck w/ that, Jason.
Nothing anti-consumer about platform holders funding games which otherwise wouldn't exist and keeping those games to their platforms. It's part of the business model.
Psvr 2.0 with ps5 boost. Psvr gen 1 games should see major improvements as long as sony helps out.
Dont think sony would give those up as long as they plan to support vr.

There's been quite a few high profile PS3 exclusives released on PC lately, so I guess it's possible.
The difference is that VR is a very early industry where Sony has gone on record to say they aren't that competitive as "a win for all is a win for us" if I remember Shuhei's quote correctly, and they often collaborate/share ideas with other manufacturers behind the scenes.
It's still an unlikely scenario, but it's not as impossible as Gears for Mario.
Zuckerberg believes in VR, they won't hit any "we have to make money?" panic..
Yeah, Gears for SMO? Probably SMO + BotW and some few cases of beers, MAYBE then
Maybe with PSVR2 where they actually have decent controls... Move controls won't work well with VR games that rely on controller tracking and gripping + other buttons simultaneously. Astro bot could easily be adjusted to work with Touch controls as they have analog sticks and any of the TouchPad extra moves could be mapped to 2nd analog stick or other buttons / motion actions.
Nope but to make matters worse we see third party exclusives like Tetris, Resident Evil and Ace Combat for PSVR only (Teris is coming to PC finally).
Probably the same reason why you will never see games like Astrobot on Oculus.
Won't happen anytime soon, if ever at all.
There's no way that Sony will allow a higher rez version of their VR exclusives on another platform before PSVR2 is released (which is at least 2.5 years away from launching).

Oculus has all the backing it needs from its parent company, I can assure you. Oculus is a 10+ year strategy for FB.
There are a few psvr games I would like on PC. Oculus has hands down the best lineup though. Chronos, Lone Echo, Journey of the Gods, Dance Central, Robo Recal, From Other Suns, Arctika 1, Wilson's Heart, Edge of Nowhere and that's only a few of the great titles off the top of my head.
Really happy with the Rift but I want a more consistent stream of games. Last year had a big title every month while this year its slim pickens. Stormlands and the Respawn game are dropping with rumors of Assassins Creed and Splinter Cell. Still vr is in a great place with a brighter future. Love all VR.
