Sony VR announcement

Postby GlobusDiablo » Thu Mar 17, 2016 1:33 pm

Big question is, will it be pc compatible... Haven't been able to find anything on that yet.

Don't be too quick to dismiss it. Playstation controllers work on pcs. And as I understand, the Sony VR comes with and external box to plug into the PS4. So all we need is the Eye camera.

Seems like a bit of coding to me. And a huge revenue stream for Sony.

Anyway, my fingers are crossed for this sweet looking piece of kit. :)

Sony PS controllers work on pc's since someone backwards engineered it. Not because Sony released any drivers or shared their Bluetooth protocols.

In fact Sony is doing nothing to hinder such use. They only suck at it so people work around them.

Vr on the other hand is something completely different than hacking together some drivers for a USB HID device.
I wouldn't expect it work on pc's and if someone does make it work I wouldn't expect it work well.

Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.
