Maybe they went to Sony first, and just like with Sunset Overdrive, Sony wanted the IP. So Insomniac once again went, and pitched it to a company that would let them keep the IP.

Makes me wonder how this policy could backfire on Sony. They have RAD's The Order 1886 IP, but now that company is going multiplat now too.

at this point first person VR works best if you are in some kind of cockpit, as otherwise sudden movements can easily make the user feel sick

3rd person VR on the other hand is pretty sturdy and still highly immersive

I've also heard that Sony is going to be announcing some Morpheus exclusive games at E3 this year...I just think exclusive VR games this early is a bad idea.

For VR to get off the ground each and every headset is going to need as much content as it can get. Getting exlusives is only going to hurt the chances of it taking off.

It seems like Insomniac is branching out to different platform, genres and new types of games. It's a creative studio and I hope this game and their other projects become successful.

I don't know about the details and what "exclusivity" means for this game, but is it possible that Edge of Nowhere would also release on project Morpheus?

*Edit*: guess this settles it then. 

"BY MARTY SLIVADuring its press conference today, Oculus VRannounced that it would be partnering with Insomniac on the Rift-exclusive game Edge of Nowhere."

Based on the MS/OR partnership, I am guessing that we will find out later that MS may have paid to have this be OR exclusive, thus making it a windows 10 exclusive...

So we seemingly are getting Peripheral exclusive stuff (I never thought this could happen). Now wouldn´t valve be able to go "No Oculus support on Steam"? Wouldn´t that basically kill OR?
I´m not too sure about this so could someone explain it to me?

But in the oculus stream they talked about how they have 10 million dollars in a fund to help develop games on the platform. So I think it's safer to say that the "Monehat" came from Oculus themselves instead of microsoft.

10 million isn't very much money if they spread it around to get a lot of smaller games.  Games from larger developers are very expensive.

But, you could be right and they could have more than the 10 million to moneyhat with.

I have 0 faith that VR will be anything more than a fad.

Interesting..
