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.

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

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?

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.
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

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.
Take a deep breath.
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.
Same.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?
...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!

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

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..
This comes off as very defensive.

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).
