As much as I want a Xbox news drop, especially after the Starfield teases by insiders (my most anticipated game for sure it fit makes 2021), nah, that's definitely not the reason.
All you need to know on the timing of the interview is that they are sending out PSVR2 devkits this week. Same reason they randomly dropped PS5 and Dualsense.
LOL @ the market dying out if PS stopped supporting VR. The market is small but slowly and surely growing and is supported by damn near all the Big Tech corporations with billions poured in it each year.
Good grief. What a shitshow. This isn't fixable with that CEO attached.
A shame. I was hoping Techland /Dying Light wouldn't turn out into a CD Projekt RED / Cyberpunk 2.0
I mean they do for sure, but the point is that they're trying to push Gamepass. Dirt 5, an essentially new game is launching this month.
It's a shame, but they'll probably keep it like that to make GamePass seem like a better option for access to games.
I think GWG being bad is a non-issue, because Game Pass exists. That's my perspective. I mean when I get to play Yakuza 0, Outer Wilds, Tell Me Why, Halo Reach, etc. on Game Pass, does it really bother me that GWG has lacklustre offerings? I haven't needed GWG to be good in a very long time. I'll also be able to play huge games like Starfield, Wolfenstein III, Avowed, Forza Horizon 5, Hellbalde 2, Halo Infinite, etc. via Game Pass.
That's my selfish perspective, and I understand there are users that are only Gold subscribers and that don't have Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate.

I really hope Starfield is still on track for this year. Having a major Bethesda game release with a new Halo game is exactly the type of Xbox goodness we are looking for.
Haha nice Switch. Gotta change the joycons on that though.
I would love to have Starfield, Halo and Forza Horizon Japan this year. It would be worth the excruciating wait.
oh shit forget megaton bomb that's a fucking wipe-out-the-dinosaurs-bomb
CONFIRMED: XBOX FINALLY BOUGHT NINTENDO!!!
Do we really need another $400+ VR unit in the market? The VR scene is so flat right now.
An Xbox VR headset would have nothing to do with Oculus
Sony barely devotes their first party efforts to making VR games. A huge portion of the VR games on Playstation are third party games. I've never understood the 'distraction' argument.
You think negotiations with Valve for a possible port of Half Life Alyx would delay any first party game?
VR is fucking stupid to do right now
when the tech reaches the point you can play games in your head that's VR not this weak shit

Didn't Ms announce like 30 exclusives this year? I know most of them were small title but dam it's almost March at this rate there are going to have to launch a game a week if they are going to keep that promise.
Also any word on a release window for Warhammer Darktide??

Can I say though that it's weird to have a competitors console on your screen. He's clearly in on the joke and is tryin to mess with people. But I doubt he would ever have a PlayStation in the background, even as a joke.
Didn't want to sound too negative, just that I don't think that VR right now is a must-have investment. They can play the wait-game to either innovate themselves if they feel confident or just wait until the tech is mature and support and demand are there to make something.
The hell is going on at Paradox and Techland? Particularly Techland, they make CDPR seem like a perfectly stable studio by comparison.
....Or does it?
=P
Too obviously in there, so very likely nothing but it would be cool if their next game was multi-platform.
Also, I hope Microsoft stays far away from Techland and even Paradox.
CONFIRMED: XBOX FINALLY BOUGHT NINTENDO!!!
Also Kojima, Ludens hanging out on the shelf below.
Maybe Microsoft should give up on Xbox until we get to 8K at 240Hz. Otherwise, what's the point, right?
I'm not even sure how you enjoy gaming with this mindset.
Then again, this is no doubt another case of someone rambling about a technology they've never even properly used.
Random Ludens/Kojima statue, don't remember seeing that in his interviews last year.
CONFIRMED: XBOX FINALLY BOUGHT NINTENDO!!!
They partnered with Facebook before by including Xbox One controllers with every Oculus:
Oculus Rift will ship with an Xbox One controller thanks to Microsoft partnership

There is also the Mixer to Facebook Gaming transition last year:
Bringing More Players Into Our Gaming Vision - Xbox Wire
For us at Xbox, the player is at the center of the gaming experience, always. It’s our responsibility to make sure great games and related experiences go to meet players wherever they are. Our priority and focus is on the world-class content being made by our 15 Xbox Game Studios, the evolution...

I strongly believe an Xbox VR is them partnering with Facebook. Making a VR for Xbox only like PSVR is suicide for a non market leader console.
When my consciousness is inside of the game, that's VR!
Given X|S don't support it, XGS probably arent going to do anything VR focused. Getting some VR games for Gamepass pc would be good, though. And the odd game with support like Flight Sim and Tetris Effect too.
I don't know how to respond to this. you're very much overreacting. look, I clearly have warped expectations of VR coming from sci-fi movies and media in general. what companies are doing with VR right now is some medieval stuff. things are gonna get better but this ain't it
btw I'm good with 1440p and 120 hz is really nice and wish that's the standard but I'll take 60 fps
What was the last AAA vr game before or after half life alex? If PS stopped vr support xbox would never likely support it
I am hopeful that we get 1-2 suprised for this year from each. But the pandemic is really messing with development and didn't Phil Spencer say the effect will be even more felt in 2021 as suppose to 2020?
Oh my god!!! 5 pictures, 3 Xbox controllers. We get the release window of Starfield on 5th March ;)
Give VR a proper try then.
It's leagues more advanced than you think. You'll be the only person on planet earth waiting for a brain interface before becoming interested. No one needs that level of engagement to be happy with it. You only think you do as someone without proper VR experience.
That's completely false. How are you coming to these incorrect conclusions. MS is among the numerous Big Tech corporations investing in AR/VR and continue to watch how the market evolves on Windows PC's, mobile, and console. Just because Xbox hasn't released a VR solution to the market doesn't mean they wouldn't if Sony stopped PS VR support. An Xbox VR solution is inevitable. The only question is When not If.
As a somewhat obsessive VR fan (I have three headsets so far, and counting...) I'd obviously be excited to see what MS first party could do with VR (would die to see some Rare/Sea of Thieves experience) but equally... I don't think it's a gap in the market that they need to be part of.
The massive daddy in VR at the moment in the Oculus Quest. A standalone, wireless headset that doesn't need to be plugged into anything else. You don't need an Xbox (or a PC or a PlayStation) to experience top class VR anymore. It probably makes less sense than it ever has done to chase that market as a console maker.
If I was recommending VR to someone new to the hardware I 100% would be recommending they get a Quest and not buying more hardware than they need (in terms of also needing a games console or a PC or whatever).
Microsoft is finally ramping up its first party efforts. I'm fine if they begin to support VR in some capacity, as in allowing head sets to be compatible. But i dont really want XGS diverting any resources whatsoever to making VR only games, screw that. Leave that stuff for when all of the first parties are firing on all cylinders.
yeah maybe you're right and it's not as old tech as I think it is. still no interest right now since no one's put out anything I'm interested in and the support isn't that widespread. if I get a headset it has to have constant releases
I'm Willing to bet that box does not come out with a headset in this generation. Phil has said it multiple times there is no market for right now and if sony stopped it just says it won't be viable for long term support
Let go of that stuff, yall well know its just going to start shit, not to mention a Switch, and a Watch Dogs Legion mask are also in view XD
The waiting is killing me :(
This.
Watch Dogs Legion is a prequel to Death Stranding and they're both coming to Switch confirmed.
