The Martian VR Experience Coming To PSVR and HTC Vive
Virtual Reality is the order of the day, and with VR headsets becoming widely available (and popular), we might get to see a lot in the VR department apart from games. A tie-in project featuring The Martian (the one with Matt Damon), will have a VR experience based on the movie, releasing for the HTC Vive and the PlayStation VR. The Martian VR Experience is produced by Scott Ridley (director of the movie) and directed by Maleficent’s Robert Stromberg. It lets you play as Mark Watney (the protagonist) during specific scenes of the movie, including the ones which feature driving the Mars Rover and flying around in zero gravity. An early version of the experience was featured at CES this year, and later at the Sundance Film Festival as well. The Martian VR Experience will cost about USD...

Whether it’s the HTC Vive or the PS VR, everyone seems to be craving for some of that virtual reality action, and for all the right reasons.

Oculus Offering Money For Timed Exclusivity?
Looks like oculus is again under the fire in new for it. This time the company tried to get the Serious Sam VR game and offered a lot to the Croteam and the VR community when heard about this shot their fiery arrows of disapproval towards oculus. The company had received a lot of negativity back when it blocked the games which could have been available to all VR platforms through Revive. This was the statement found on reddit made by one of the members of Croteam: “They tried to buy Serious Sam VR as well. It wasn’t easy, but we turned down a shitton of money, as we believe that truly good games will sell by themselves and make profit in the long run regardless. And also because we hate exclusives as much as you do.” However another Croteam member later stated this on reddit: “I want...
Virtual Reality: The War For Exclusives
Tech giants are spending more and more on securing exclusive content for their VR technologies, with Oculus catching a lot of heat for the Rift. But in an interview with TechCrunch during the E3 conference, Oculus co-founders Palmer Luckey and Nate Mitchell quickly pointed out that Sony is following a similar approach for the upcoming PS VR headset. “You see Sony investing in their content the same way,” they said. “They want to make things that take advantage of their features that they have in the best way possible.” They’re not wrong. It makes sense for these companies to make sure that their platforms have the edge over the others. According to Luckey, this is how the VR industry will move forward for the time being. And while it may work for the developers behind these platforms...
