Rsident Evil 7 VR mode will be PSVR exclusive for a year.

[Crimsonclaw111]

credits to Jawmuncher for pointing it out. That's kinda bullshit.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Smart for Sony, the only way to sell PSVR is with Heavy Hitters found no where else.

The wording seems to imply that Xbox VR if it ever happens, will never get the VR support though.

 

[YesManKablam]

That's......huh

Kinda let down, but I guess there does need to be exclusive VR games.

 

[Tain]

Good to know. Might be a tough decision to make. Wait a year and play it on a preferred headset with nicer visuals, or just jump in?

 

[DMONKUMA]

Oh ok so it is timed exclusive. Well hopefully by that time I have a Vive.

Edit:Gonna still play day 1 on PC tho.

 

[jmga]

I probably won't get my first commercial HMD until Vive 2 or 3, so I don't have a problem with this.

 

[Lichter]

Stupid deal imo, it's not like VR is a giant market already.

 

[RedSnake]

I'd love to try this first and see how "bad" it looks before buying the PSVR headset since I'd prefer buying a vive.
Also, does the PS4Pro boost the VR as well? Like, would it look better?

 

[CalamityPixel]

Wow that's kind of shit for PC VR owners. Mind you it will end in time for

Spoiler

Scorpio

 

[Salty Rice]

I always thought its PSVR only anyway so nothing changed for me.

 

[120v]

i thought it wouldn't be for oculus/vive in the first place

i consider this good news

 

[BassForever]

So like what was the point of putting out a non vr demo if its vr exclusive for a year? Or is the psvr release seperate from the ps4 no vr version?

 

[Ganado]

Fuck Sony and fuck Oculus.

 

[Tain]

I should add that I didn't think it was a given that we'd see PC VR support at all. I'm not happy about the delay, but, you know.

 

[GhostTrick]

It's not like they can prevent you from using VorpX or Tridef3D on PC... still kind of a questionnable deal. That kind of thing, among lack of uniformisation, is what will make VR takes a lot of time to find a place.

Scorpio

This was always going to be PSVR exclusive for a while, was thinking 6 months, then it move to Oculus & Vive, but 12 makes sense with Scorpio

 

[dreamfall]

Interesting - actually makes me want to hold on to my PSVR bundle instead of cancelling, but by the time the exclusivity is up I'm sure it'll be much stronger on other VR devices.

 

[Nzyme32]

"Exclusive to [insert platform]" gets yet another definition in announcements until later clarification.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Let me get this cleared up in my head. So the VR stuff will be compatible with other headsets at a later date (i.e. for the PC version), but for now, ONLY PSVR will work, on home consoles?

Ugh. Timed exclusives need to buzz off. Especially when you get additional stuff like this thrown into the mix.

I think Microsoft said they were looking to making the Scorpio VR compatible with the Oculus Rift.

 

[Semajer]

I won't buy it until the PC version has VR then.

 

[NeoRausch]

Fuck Sony and fuck Oculus.

Take a deep breath.

 

[Nzyme32]

They didn't say that. They haven't elaborated on what they will use

Always the smart move with incomplete products

Yes they said that... They said fallout vr will use oculus.

Edit- nvm fo4 confirmed not which headset though.

 

[Gurnlei]

Same.

 

[MUnited83]

I'm sure there will be a VR mode hidden that people will be able to hack in one day so meh.

 

[Betty]

System seller for sure.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

A year exclusive is a bit extreme, but then again that will hit with RE7 getting some steep discounts on PC and perhaps GOTY/Definitive edition.

Not really that BS since that platform will need some system sellers.

 

[Remij]

Maybe the code will be there on PC and someone will be able to mod it or hack it to work lol.. I dunno.

 

[T.O.P]

I'll won't buy until the PC version has VR then.

Yup, gonna be 15-20$ by then, all good

it's pretty BS. Spend money on making some actual system sellers, not locking away games from other platforms.

Maybe Sony could try doing something instead of some lame tech demos and one good showcase (Driveclub VR).

 

[metareferential]

Yeah, It would be interesting to see how they actually implement such a thing.

If the code is there, someone will find it.

It's a dumb decision for the developer and (maybe) a good one for Sony.

I'll play it once it hits Steam and Vive.

 

[Reallink]

Hopefully they use Pro for super sampling cause impressions suggest the render resolution has been dog shit on the vanilla PS4.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

This sort of stuff has been my least favorite aspect about the past two gens.

 

[Tagyhag]

Oh that's neat, I thought it was going to be exclusive forever.

But yo, remember when MS was anti-consumer for the TR exclusivity? Sony just looking out for all gamers!

Yeah this is one of the big things I am hearing from the anniversary tour.

 

[Kyzer]

This makes me feel good about the game actually working well with VR. Hope it doesn't get delayed

 

[pachura]

Wasn't it the most nausea-inducing title?

 

[MistaBowaa]

This isn't the same as TR. That was full game exclusitivity, whereas this is a game mode. RE7 is fully playable without VR and is not exclusive to VR platforms.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

O neat that's cool. Now watch as some try and blow this up into a bad thing.

 

[msdstc]

O neat that's cool. Now watch as some try and blow this up into a bad thing.

How is this not a bad thing for the consumer?

 

[T.O.P]

...how is that "cool" ?

Wich Vive/Oculus owner would go "oh i can't play this one title in VR" let me go buy a PSVR!

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

I give it a week after release until somebody mods the PC version to enable VR.

 

[Tagyhag]

It's exclusivity either way. And not because of some technical hurdle, just money.

PC gamers are essentially getting an incomplete product.

Stuff like this shouldn't be celebrated, folks!

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

The consumer that had the assumption it was going to be permanently exclusive to psvr like 3 months ago? Yea such a bad thing.

Meh I forgot outrage grrr

Edit: you say it's defensive yet here y'all go..

 

[Gurnlei]

O neat that's cool. Now watch as some try and blow this up into a bad thing.

This comes off as very defensive.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Didnt everyone get sick from the VR mode at E3, because Capcom didnt know that locomotion in VR makes people sick?

Not defending it, just pointing out we are indeed discussing an incomplete product as opposed to no product at all (in the case of TR).
