The actually release is going to be 1080p. 1080p rendering full 3d. There are games on both consoles already that can't even do 1080. Plus the display is split, so the two halves of the screen are rendering different things.
Also it has head trackers and motion sensors inside it, For example i've seen people playing first person shooters where the view point changes but the gun doesn't. The movement of where the weapon is pointing is dictated by the mouse. So for example you can shoot forward whilst looking over your shoulder. So its far more than just a replacement for the right analogue stick.
It is taking so long because VR technology on this level is new. There is so much to account for including removing any type of latency to the headset. Even the slightest hint of movement lag would make it pointless.
As for less developers on PC I do hope that is a joke. There are more driving sims, flight sims and FPS' on pc than both consoles combined.
Even two of the games you are most looking forward to (bf4 and titanfall) are both on PC.
i get what your saying, but why does it need to be 1080p when the screens are so so small in the unit? it doesnt matter what is projected on a tv, infact it doesnt need to at all as that is just for viewers. That could be designed like 3d tvs when you can turn a 3d film/program to 2d. So it only shows 1 picture of the 3d.
never thought of the right stick like that....cheers for clearing that up, that makes sense.
I didnt mean less developers as such,everything is made via pc. what meant was there are more people with gaming consoles around the world than gaming pcs...... therefore its a big market.aiming at just pc's will never make it "high street" popular. You wont see it advertised on tv...therefore will never make massive profits.
There is a market for the product,no doubt.....i just think if sony make something very similar, put it on ps4.....then oculus will just be a memory(even if it is far better) as everyone would be talking about sonys vr headset.
I dont know a single person with a gaming pc, tell a lie,thinking about it, i know one. Yet pretty much everyone of my firends have either xbox360's on ps3's..... with most having more than one. i have 3 consoles in my house for me,my wife and my kids. lol
Its been prooven that hi res graphics dont make a game more immersive, so 1080p only matters a little, its the environment and the wat it reacts that makes a bigger impact in my eyes.
was watching a review on ac black flag. they played it on ps4 then played it on xbox 360. obviously its looked better on ps4,better animations etc, but they said after playing over half hour on xbox 360, they had forgotten the differences as they were just focused on the actual game.
I honestly think all this focusing on resoloutions are missing the entire point. resoloution doesnt make a great game. nintendo proove this.
