I first want to say that I don't have a very positive opinion of VR (Oculus, Morpheus, whatever). It just seems too intrusive, with the goggles, headphones, controllers, cables, straps...looks like a torture device more than technology that is supposed to provide full immersion.
I think this VR fad will fade away in a few years, failing completely.
That said, this XOne deal seems like it was thought out by Rube Goldberg himself - how to find the most complicated method to play XOne games. Stream the game from console to PC then to OR onlybto view it on the screen an inch from your nose while still looking like a console game without any VR whatsoever.
And all that for about $2000 (console plus OR said that their setup is about $1500 for PC and OR).
Good job by MS for finding more markets for their controller, but I seriously doubt OR will help them sell even one console more than they would anyway. |
I agree with your first paragprah totally.
They did say that, this was a "glimpse of the start of the partnership with MS". to be fair.

Yeah, but is that partnership about Xbox One or about PC games ?
Because we have reports of MS thinking about focusing more on PC games, Spencer will be at the PC conference, Oculus now with Halo and Forza playable on PC... Isn't MS coming back on pc gaming slowly ?
