“Project Scorpio will join the Xbox One family and coexist alongside Xbox One and Xbox One S and all of your Xbox One games and accessories are compatible”, said Microsoft. Impulse Gear says that this new controller is the most realistic and precise way to control the Farpoint game.
With that being said, he declined to shed details on the pricing and availability on Sony’s upcoming console, refusing to comment on whether it would debut this year or the next. As it was predictable, Sony didn’t show the new hardware in order to prevent PlayStation VR from being overshadowed by such a big announcement.
A United Kingdom price and release date are still to be confirmed.
This year’s E3 is no different as Sony officially announced that the highly anticipated virtual reality headset PlayStation VR will hit the market on October 13 and will have a price tag of $399. We saw some games and hardware.
We know about Sony’s plans for VR, 50 titles at launch and so on, but why was there something missing that we had all hoped to see yesterday at E3?
Two other premium virtual reality headsets have already launched this year – HTC’s Vive and the Oculus Rift, whose parent company is owned by Facebook. We finally have a date for the arrival ofPlayStation VR.
The Chairman also proclaimed a “seminal moment” in virtual reality.
That’s the exciting thing about virtual reality: it can be applied to so many genres and styles of games with different effect.
However, all is not lost for gaming fans as it’s still possible the company might hold a presentation of an actual PS4 Neo.
