Might we one day see a new Assassin's Creed or Far Cry game that uses virtual reality technology? According to Ubisoft Vice President of Creative Lionel Raynaud, it's possible, but technology like Oculus Rift or Sony's just-announced Project Morpheus need to put up big numbers first.

"VR would need to sell at least 1 million units to be viable for development," Raynaud said tonight in San Francisco during a roundtable interview attended by GameSpot.

I think it could happen in the first year.



They're not fooling anyone. It's Ubisoft. They release for everything that has a processor.
Even WiiU!



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

It'll be fascinating to see how AAA devs handle VR if the tech sells good. Porting PS4 and PC games to it doesn't really work the best.

To put things into perspective, it's more likely to be released on your dryer than on WiiU.

Make an epic launch vr game with ps4 vr and you'll rake in the sales, wait until it reaches 1 million and your title will be one of many in the cesspool of vr games and wont sell
