It's a rumour, we mention PS4 because PS4 is much more powerful but still needs assistance from morpheus to run VR.

There's not way the XB1 is capable of playable VR.

Lol at all the PS4 is much more powerful....it's not. It's a little bit yes but not "much more".

I'm actually stoked to see how OR works on the X1. I'm sure they have more instore than that demo they showed recently or who would buy it? If I like it ill try out the Morpheus as well. Hopefully this tech doesn't fade away like 3D tv's.

lol even developers said its twice as capable.  But yahh you know better right.  

Only time will tell. I just don't see MS being as serious with VR gaming as Sony is. I really curious to see how good VR gaming is but still skeptical to pay full price for it.

So bascially VR for gaming is f#cked.

You need a major piece of PC hardware to be able to play, say, Crisis 4 in 1080p 90fps using OR, which appears to be what people suggest as the minimum performance standard to have a decent experience. This severely limits the potential market for OR on PC as many gamers are happy with mid to low range power in their PCs.

Then with consoles if you are going to achieve that same res/fps standard you have to make early gen 7 or gen 6 quality games so as not to exceed the capabilities of the consoles, which means games designed specifically for VR, which for consoles will mean only a small segment of the install base (because it sounds like the cost of these headsets is not going to be within reach of most people), which means very low game sales potential. Alternatively, if Sony decide they want to make Killzone: Shadowfall playable with Morpheus they'll have to drop the res well below 1080p and only provide 60fps.  And all VR games will have to be locked at 60fps minimum because any frame rate drops will really ruin your experience.

Sounds to me like VR on consoles is really a PS5 / Xb one2 thing and that this gen is just not up to snuff to be able to deliver a good VR gaming experience. VR can deliver some great non-gaming experiences, but I don't think that will be any sort of selling point to the home user.

I'd really like to see both Sony and OR's minimum sales targets to make the headsets both break even and a viable platform. Because I have serious doubts either headset will achieve such targets.

Lol some people still believe that 50% more powerful myth??? Specs and actual result are two vastly different things... But anyway.... Back to VR.... Not only VR is nothing to fap about imo but it will be shit whether it is on Morpheus/PS4 or XBO/OR and even 99% of the OR/PC case... It's like trying to have a pissing contest with pussies ( no offence ladies) it's just gonna be messy and rather pointless...

Interesting coming from a dev.

This is rather a confused statement. Are you saying that yes, the specs do point to 50% more powerful, but this doesn't translate into 50% better game performance? If so then what is the myth you are accusing people of still believing? People here aren't saying games are 50% better they are saying PS4 specs are 50% more powerful, which you seem to be accepting, and therefore PS4 is in a somewhat better position to implement VR, which said 50% may or may not be enough to make VR a satisfying experience with Morpheus; notwitstanding that Morpheus will provide some inbuilt some assist so PS4 doesn;t need to do all the heavy lifting. If you're saying that the specs aren't 50% more powerful, then what technical information do you have that quantifies the specs difference as something between 1% and 49% more powerful? You do seem to be acknowledging that PS4 is more powerful, so the only issue is the quantification of said difference in order to dispell this myth, not whether there is one.

That confused statement aside, I agree VR seems to be premature as an accessible and implementable technology for a mass market. And as an isolating platform (i.e. one unit, one person, completely cut off from the outside world and not even a possibility of a passive shared spectator experience unless someone is wearing a second unit) its in-home appeal will always, IMO, be limited to a minority of the gamer market. High cost tech, competing for a minority segment of a not very big market, seems like PS Move all over again. But this time everyone is producing a variant of the Move and no one is making a Wiimote or Kinect.

I think people who are into the golden shower fetish might disagree with your analogy being pointless; though they will agree with the messy bit, but of course they like it that way.

Oculus Rift minimum specs:

NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD 290 equivalent or greater - No way
Intel i5-4590 processor equivalent or greater - Erm no
8GB+ RAM - Check
Compatible HDMI 1.3 video output - Check
2 USB 3.0 ports - Check
Windows 7 SP1 or newer - Check

What's this about it being a myth again that ps4 GPU is about 50% faster? I must be dreaming that the ps4 keeps pace with the XBox One while pushing 1.44x as many pixels, 1080p vs 900p

There is nothing stopping the XBox One receiving input from OR while using a PC to power the headset. That seems kinda pointless though when the game comes to pc as well. Morpheus will need an extra box too, to double the frame rate to 120fps and split and adjust the image.

Is this sarcasm?
