The gaming industry has seen many new turns and trends in past few years. Innovations in the digital world have led to a cosmic number of possibilities and the gaming industry is further extending its pillars on these new prospects. In its climb to the apex, gaming industry has set its foot upon a very serviceable stone, the virtual reality.
When Oculus VR first demonstrated its Oculus Rift VR headset at E3 back in 2012, countless number of people, including gamers, developers, manufacturers and industry veterans totally appreciated the idea, not only because it seemed cool, but because of the possibilities it carried. Entering another world while physically staying in this one, even if we keep it to gaming (although virtual reality is not only about gaming), is more than a change that the industry demands.
Enough talk about how very imperative virtual reality is, lets see what the big players of gaming industry are doing to roll it out. Oculus Rift caught a lot of attention but now, when Sony has revealed its take on the virtual reality, it seems like progression on the Oculus’ side is going a bit slow. Sony’s Project Morpheus has just made its debut but some major games like Slightly Mad Studios’ Project Cars are already up for supporting it. Oculus VR still has more experience with developers as its been on the road for almost three years, but Sony simply has more, and experienced of course, developers (they will start joining hands with the platform holder soon enough now).
Here is for the real news, and it should not be much of a surprise, Microsoft’s Xbox head Phil Spencer recently hinted that the virtual reality revolution may indeed finally be upon us. After all those years imagining of virtual reality as of it being just on the horizon, now it is apparently the right time for the start of a new era in the world of gaming.
