Palmer Luckey; PSVR not as "high end" as Rift.

could someone please clarify this for me:

Will the Sony VR only be compatinle with the PS4?

Will the Oculus Rift only work on PC?

Is there a VR in development for the Xbox1?

After watching some people play Alien: Isolation with a VR headset I'm pretty excited... Not sure which I like most yet as I'm torn between the PC and Sony's claim of tons of games being already in development.

 

Yes.

Yes.

Maybe? But it's not anything that's been announced yet, and it would be tough to make it work if there was.

If you can't decide on which to go with, a good place to start would be seeing if your PC can run the Rift.

About halfway down you'll see something that says "Oculus Compatibility Tool" you can download it and it will tell you if your PC will work.

Overall, I think Oculus will see faster support for non gaming aspects of VR and will evolve faster than PSVR will. But, it will also be more expensive and I expect Sonys exclusives to be better.

 

Thanks a bunch!

Yeah, I agree with your hunch. I suspect in the long turn I'll probably wind up getting both, I'm just deciding which to get first at the moment. My PC is at the low end of the recommended specs but I built it 5 years ago and have been planning an upgrade. Think I'll just look at the early library and decide based on that for now.
