One thing we love about rumors is that they are often a mixture of dreams and possibilities. That’s kind of what today’s rumor about the PS5’s virtual headset is and, if it is true, it really does represent a bit of a game-changer for VR as a whole. We have to preface all of this with this disclaimer: The PS5 isn’t really definite in a lot of ways and its VR
Oculus owner Facebook is going hard into VR online spaces and it is hoping that its new effort in creating a VR world helps bring the space to a whole new audience of people (and probably make a little bit of money in the sum). So what are we talking about exactly? Zuckerberg’s ambitions to dominate social spaces online know no bounds and that’s why the
You might not recall the Medal of Honor series but it was Call of Duty before there was Call of Duty back in the PlayStation 1 era. To be more specific, Medal of Honor and Call of Duty were the premier World War II shooters out there with each on having their own unique mechanics and take on the campaigns and battles that comprised that conflict. Medal
Microsoft has not expressed interest in joining the VR wars anytime soon but a recent patent filing might be evidence that Bill Gates’ outfit was just being coy with its future plans. The Sun reports that a virtual reality headset attached to the upcoming next-gen Xbox might have been revealed by none other than Microsoft themselves after an internet user
There’s little doubt that games like Skyrim are popular for a reason. From their simulating of medieval fantasy to their fun and addictive exploration and combat, games in this genre are some of the first that comes to mind when people think of the best “open-world” titles out there. While Skyrim came to VR in a form, it wasn’t exactly the most robust
One thing that has always lurked in the background of the video gaming experience is the desire to replicate real-world - and a fantasy world - experiences with an intense level of fidelity. Virtual reality helps us get there, but we’re not quite where we all imagine in our wildest dreams. What we imagine is something like the HBO show Westworld, where
Some of the biggest VR gaming news this year was that the space exploration game No Man’s Sky was building out a dedicated VR mode. This was a big deal not only for fans of the game but for fans of virtual reality as well as it promised a pretty in-depth experience that has only been teased in VR so far. Well, it’s finally here and the verdict is somewhat in
The Walking Dead, Westworld, Creed - these are just a few games inspired by films and television that have come or are coming to VR in the near future. Add to this the promised Marvel Iron Man title, among others, and you’re starting to spot a real trend here. Needless to say, we like what we’re seeing. Not only is translating a classic film franchise to VR
Everything cyberpunk seems to be coming into vogue as we get closer to the release date for CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. We told you about a VR cyberpunk-themed title not too long ago, and today we’re going to tell you about a cyberpunk RPG that posits a world in which virtual reality has gone horribly, horribly wrong. So it’s not exactly a VR game, but
Some VR games are super intense, this is a well-known fact, but apparently, the new title Onward is so intense that one Polygon writer apparently damaged his rig while playing it. Charlie Hall reports that the game had him so shook that he couldn’t help but reacting in a visceral fashion but now he wishes he hadn’t. So what is this game that had a Polygon
