How about releasing it on PSVR2 you Ubisoft

Yeah! How else will the eight people here who still have one play it?

 

[Sleepwalker]

Yeah well

- Not available for PCVR
- Not available for PSVR2

Quest exclusive, a platform where sideloading and piracy go unpunished.

 

[intheinbetween]

Who could’ve thought!

 

[ResilientBanana]

There need to be less 1st person experiences. I’m over the wonder of that and would love more perspectives.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Baby steps isn't going to help. Most VR games make me dizzy (they make a lot of people dizzy). The only VR game i've been able to play for a prolonged period is GT7. Even that at times made my stomach churn (elevation dips) due to the disconnect between a players physical body.

I want VR to succeed as it provides experiences that are simply unmatched. You literally feel like you're a part of the gaming world. However, I'm not sure what they can do outside of full body movement on a stationary platform like this:

GT7 is one of the hardest to deal with. It’s best to start with ones where you just wave your arms. GT7 still makes me feel motion sick at times and I’ve been doing vr since day 1 of psvr1.

 

[FunkMiller]

You put your (overpriced) game out on one platform, Yves, you stupid, greedy little cunt.

 

[Diddy X]

I think Apple will help a lot to make VR a non-niche product, people will be wearing VR headsets everywhere in some years.

From there games will be able to pull more decent numbers.

Yeah soon people will be wearing them like they look at their phones today. Society is looking great isn’t it.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

I can't even do it, makes me physically set. Tried my friends Oculus a long time ago. Played for 15 minutes and have been dizzy for 6+ years ever since.

Whatever that Eve tech demo game was.

My gaming sessions are two hours long. Too long for wearing a helmet. Especially in summer.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

bought it day 1, so did my part

Shame, it was a pretty fun experience too

Publishers also expect everything to sell a billion fucking copies these days, but they’re their own worst enemies — they design games to keep you hooked/engaged/invested for dozens and hundreds of hours. Guess what? You’ve eaten up people’s time and they’re not gonna buy shit they don’t have time to play.

Proof of the

VR is absolutely incredible. I too was a 2D fanboy at one point, but after getting into VR properly, getting the VR legs, seeing all that is possible, it's really next level.
The game definitely have depth, even more depth because of all the degrees of freedom. In a video game you are limited to a few buttons and the direction inputs, in VR you can move however you want, attack however you want, cast spells however you want, etc.
Then you have simracing, flight sticks, all the sports games, various simulations.....it's so much more than a gaming system
As for ass creed, the game came in at $40, was pretty good but had some flaws, and released during a really busy holiday period with a ton of other stuff releasing around the same time for usually $20-30.
VR gamers are used to fairly low prices and smaller scope games.
At any rate, I think VR devs are some of the most passionate around, just look at freaking Vertigo 2. There's a bright future for VR we just need people to give it a real chance and stick with it until they get their VR legs and get over the hurdles.

I'll be so sad if VR fails to catch on and publishers all start pulling a Ubi like this suit says "we won't invest in vr anymore" fuck you ya prick ..you tried making ONE game! Just because it didn't reach your overinflated sales goals

Btw I've never even tried VR (still waiting for some more must haves) but I know based on what other people say that it's an amazing thing and should be the future of gaming.

 

[mckmas8808]

See if it can be ported to other systems. Talk with Sony for PSVR2 dammit.

This is still one of the biggest issues that VR still has. You just can't do exclusives with VR right now. The pool is not big enough.

 

[RavageX]

Some of you complaining/downplaying VR sound a bit like you are stuck in the 90s VR/lawnmower man frame of mind...
You can tell when someone hasn't even tried it by what they say.

Quest is pretty popular you know? PSVR2 would be doing better with more support. GT7 is quite amazing.

As far as THIS game, I bought it so I did my part. It is kinda stupid to expect mindblowing numbers when you limit the type of release you do. If this had been made available on all fronts of VR, I bet the results would be different.

 

[Synless]

Nobody cares about VR. VR games are too limited.

VR is a lot of things, too limited isn’t one of them. They are the most versatile ways of playing games in current existence.

 

[RoboFu]

I bought but the controls just aren't tight enough. Could be a technical reason or they could have half assed it.

 

[RoboFu]

Nobody cares about VR. VR games are too limited.

This is truth.

 

[AndrewRyan]

I might have bought it if it were available on PCVR.

..and when you launch the game doesn't open a second useless launcher with its own credentials. The company is a joke.

 

[Kokoloko85]

I would buy if on PSVR2

 

[Ozzie666]

I mean they are multi-platform, why not put blame on the business decision not to release on more platforms.

That guy needs a talking to.

 

[crackajack]

Exclusives are fine in a competition between healthy platforms.
They are a terrible idea in a close to death VR battle between I don't actually want Sony and I have no idea how Meta and we do it for the lols Valve.

Also make hybrid games for fucks sake. Extra investment for some extra work instead of full or close to usual game budget for an obviously limited market must ring the alarm bells in acounting.

 

[Skifi28]

The VR market is too small for platform exclusives, release everywhere. And as the poster above said, focus on VR modes for existing games. Surely it's much easier/faster/cheaper considering modders are pulling it off.

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

VR is awesome for simulation games like DCS, MSFS and racing games. The experience beats a the normal monitor / tv experience by a large margin. No comparison. I haven't used my VR set for much else but tried Half Life Alyx and that looked incredible. Haven't played far. Assassin's Creed 38 VR edition was always going to fail. But try telling Ubisoft that.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

Thank goodness

 

[Allandor]

See if it can be ported to other systems. Talk with Sony for PSVR2 dammit.

Wouldn't make the audience much bigger. Not in relation to the cost.
VR is still a niche product. Doesn't make sense to bring multimillion dollar projects exclusive for that. This just doesn't pay out. You just exclude to many people with VR.
Another way would be early 1990 prices for those games. But I don't think that a big chunk of the VR community is willing to pay $120-$140 for a game.

 

[Mr Wonderstuff]

This. It's a gimmick.

Nobody wants it, most players aren't interested, it's too expensive, it bores the developers to work on it, you feel like puking after 20 minutes, etc...

People have kept saying this since 2016. It's still here. Get with the program.

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

Nobody cares about VR. VR games are too limited.

Get a decent pc, get Half Life Alyx, download Gunman VR mod, come back here.

 

[Alx]

It's still here and won't go away, but it's nowhere near as popular as many expected or promised. We're far from the short-lived craze when even Samsung would bundle a VR shell with its smartphones.
The truth is VR is designed to be a tech for geeks or tech specialists with a specific use for it. Most people don't want to be enclosed within a piece of technology, they want to carry it around with them to be used whenever they want and most often while they're doing other things. It's all about low restraints and multi-tasking, something that is the opposite of common VR. Forget the wow effect, it's all about convenience : Segway had a very impressive tech but could not compete against scooters.

 

[thief183]

...I'm gonna buy it right now in hope for future investements

 

[Ar¢tos]

Another thread turned into a VR hate circlejerk thread of people who either never tried VR or tried to force themselves to play 1h in their first couple of sessions and are now crying "VR makes people sick".

 

[Leopold]

Port it to pcvr and I’ll buy it. I refuse to buy a system that is inferior to mine because of greediness.

 

[Xtib81]

Get a decent pc, get Half Life Alyx, download Gunman VR mod, come back here.

That proves my point. Those games can be counted on one hand.

 

[thekillergreece]

Good. Spend resources on actual platforms that the majority of customers will actually buy it.
VR should be an optional add-on rather than full pledged exclusive title. Resident Evil 4 Remake did that, they added VR support whilst not being an exclusive VR-title game.

 

[willothedog]

20m+ Quests is not that bad of a user base.

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

That proves my point. Those games can be counted on one hand.

Sorry but the world doesn't work that way. An adult should know
I just gave 1 example of a game which isn't limited. Which disproves your point. But yet you see it as a confirmation. Ever heard of confirmation bias? You have it.

The only thing it proves is that you have no clue what you are talking about. Sorry..

F1 22
F1 23
Resident Evil
Bulletstorm
Half Life Alyx
Walking Dead Saint and Sinners
Superhot
Star Wars Squadrons
Phasmaphobia
Assetto Corsa
Flight Simulator
Skyrim
Elite Dangerous
No man's Sky
Project Cars

These are just the games I played. Many VR games on Pc. And I didnt start with "party" games like Beat Saber and the likes. These are full games.
Maybe try a search engine called Google before spouting nonsense?

Your argument is null and void.

I just gave 1 example and you already have an opinion. Wow!

Lol you don't get the point.. people want to play fucking AAA games, a lot of them not just once in a blue moon. VR games are too limited and only a handful of games are comparable to AAA experiences.

 

[@gkTH]

The VR without Playstation is not a VR.
You will only experience VR when only Sony allows it!

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

Man stop it. I just listed a few AAA full games just that I played. You're thick as pigshit. And dead wrong. Suck it down.

confirmation. Bias.

 

[Xtib81]

Lmao, half of your list is racing games. Where are the CP2077, Forbidden west, GTA, Avatar, Alan wake 2, Spiderman etc.. ? You know, the games people actually want to play? Last answer from me, I've already spent too much time for something I don't care about.

 

[RoboFu]

Because porn and chat apps that are basically porn chat.

 

[Resenge]

I've already spent too much time for something I don't care about.

First true thing you said in this whole thread.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I just fired this up for the first time yesterday and it really is great. It baffles me that it's not on PCVR and PSVR2. I'm sure meta threw a moneyhat at them but VR really needs to be more multiplatform.

So it’s Meta Store exclusive?

Leave it to Ubisoft to consistently fumble everything they make. Nothing but incompetence.

 

[CuNi]

How is VR supposed to "take off" if every company says "it needs to take off first" before them developing for it or citing low sales as an issue while limiting it to an arbitrary headset on an so far still niche market.
Dev: "Hey boss, the game we developed for that niche VR market, the one that we sold to an even smaller subset of the niche market, that game didn't sell like a triple A title. What do we do now!?"
Boss: "I knew it, it's just a gimmick and nobody cares for it anymore! We won't invest in it anymore!!"

The idiocracy speaks for itself.

 

[Buggy Loop]

All those games you named don’t even come close to Half Life Alyx’s experience.
Forbidden west and avatar Ubisoft recipe to begin with , yuk. I’ll take most of VR and indies over that shit.


And sim community is bigger than you think, you know, games that peoples actually DO play almost daily for years. Not the usual once and then to the garbage bin.

 

[Wonko_C]

Ubisoft co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot has called Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR sales “disappointing”, and stated that the publisher will not be investing too heavily on VR for now.

Invest more and you'll help it grow you stupid @#^%*! Why leave the work to the consumer?

 

[poppabk]

If Ubisoft pulled out of every market they had games underperform in they wouldn't be in any markets.

 

[nkarafo]

Nobody cares about VR. VR games are too limited.

Because they focus too much on the motion control aspect.

I only care about the VR visuals. Just let me see around the world in VR, while i'm controlling the game with a regular pad like i would on a regular screen. That would be enough for me.

 

[skyfinch]

See if it can be ported to other systems. Talk with Sony for PSVR2 dammit.

Who the shit has psvr2? There's more active users on N-Gage than this dud of a peripheral.

 

[Buggy Loop]

. Just let me see around the world in VR, while i'm controlling the game with a regular pad like i would on a regular screen.

Do you have any experience in VR? Your suggestion is nothing new and it’s a nauseating one, peoples get sick with this method of motion.

 

[mindfreak191]

I mean, if it released for PCVR too I would've bought it day 1. I'm not gonna go out of my way to get a Quest 3 if I already have an Index.

 

[R6Rider]

This. It's a gimmick.

Nobody wants it, most players aren't interested, it's too expensive, it bores the developers to work on it, you feel like puking after 20 minutes, etc...

Ah, this stupid take has returned.

Incorrect in every single way.

 

[yurinka]

Nobody cares about VR anymore

Nobody cares about VR. VR games are too limited.

Stop trying to make VR happen. It's NOT going to happen!

VR sales have been growing every year.
