Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony: Non-gaming VR experiences will be "very important" in pushing VR

But is PlayStation.VR compatible with PC and other devices as well ??? If it isnt, i think it should. Most people view of PSVR as a VR for console gaming instead of the VR for everyone and every devices.
Now VR in general, I believe Oculus Rift is leading right now, but things could change in the future.

If they manage to secure a deal with some sport, so you can watch a game from the first row live somehow...that would be a fucking megaton. Or a concert. Imagine the possibilities.

I would gladly pay for a Payperview for a UFC event from the first row from the octagon, watching thru my PSVR.



Playstation porn confirmed.

I would forget about the fight and check on the octagon girls.

Porn will rescue yet another entertainment medium.

What other medium has actually been on peril and saved by porn?

Lots of things. But let's just say VHS, digital cameras and the Internet for now. And it will do that for VR too.

Give it a year or two and porn will be the biggest profit driver in VR, not games.

If the first one is true - I have to look for more info on that to corroborate- then VHS was helped away from disaster by porn indeed. But the rest weren't saved. :P

Thanks for the link, it was an interesting read.

I mean, on one end, non gaming VR is a necessity. On the other, Sony seriously expects gamers to drop $300 on a device focused only somewhat on gaming, OR expects casual fans to drop $400 on a predominantly GAME system and then $300 on a game/non-game hybrid experience. It's conflicting messaging, which has sort of been the case since they announced more about it. It's too little too late for this in my eyes, because they're too deep in the PS4 game machine hype - it's no PS2 or reveal-era XBO, where multimedia was a selling point - and they're too late to catch up to the cheaper, more viable standalone options like Samsung's VR* or Google Cardboard.

*Yes, the price on paper is the same between the two. Key difference is the install base of phones vs the PS4, and the viability of using a more mobile VR headset vs a stationary one.

Is the price already confirmed?

I think VR is the future of computer interaction, and with PlayStation being at the forefront, I expect Sony to put every effort into it. PlayStationVR should not be limited to games and entertainment. Sony needs to make sure they have learning software, social software, historical software, productivity software, the door needs to be open to any and all VR applications.

Sony is in a position with VR to finally put PlayStation at the center of every home. This is their shot at an iOS like ecosystem, and creating the defacto device for home computing. I don't want to see them piss it away. I want game centric devices to take over the computing landscape.

No offence or anything but I keep seeing you pushing Sony onto everything technology wise, as in you want them to be the complete dominators and rulers of every technoligcal front and tbh that unsettles me just a bit because it feels like 1. corporate worship and 2. The wish for competition to either be controlled, assimilated or destroyed. I would honestly prefer SOny do what they do best for their zone and others for their own areas, I prefer having competition that do good at what they do best rather than "I think Sony should push for everything", the last time Sony did that it resulted in them also having to cut back and trim a lot of fat, fat that the competition has taken in and turned into a positive outcome.

Also I really don't like the idea of SOny just owning all computers and making gaming Sony only, that sounds like the worst nightmare imaginable, almost WWII Germany like even with a sprinkle of illuminati on top (one world one order).

Also: "I want game centric devices to take over the computing landscape.", that stems from your previous admittance to just using your consoles and handheld to doing everything compute wise, we all don't want that and I certainly don't, just because you force yourself to using a console and handheld console to paying your bills and doing whatever work you do shouldn't mean we all have to, we have PC's and macs for that and they won't be going away for decades.



He compares it with Apple obviously, not Windows. Youre reaching to much in what hes saying
