When I'm not accidentally running folks over or bungling convenience stores robberies that is. That's exactly the kind of thing I experienced in this week's episode of Ian's VR Corner when I took my first trip to Los Santos in VR and you can watch it take my breath away in the video below. To know the depth of it by peering over the edge into the water or to spot the little weeds or odd bits of wear and tear dotted around the paths that surround it because in the photos they masked by all the scenery. The resort looks beautiful from the pictures sure, and in your mind's eye you can easily picture yourself sat there by the side of the pool, sipping on a cocktail.Д«ut those flat images are nothing compared to the feeling of actually being there in person, to stand by that pool and to see the size of it in three dimensions. The best way I've found to describe this phenomenon to non-VR users is to liken it to looking through a holiday brochure at photos of a resort you're planning on visiting. For example, I've played GTA 5 many a time before and on multiple platforms, but looking at the world of Los Santos through the twin lenses of a VR headset allowed me to spot so many little details that I'd missed on previous visits. And Activision Blizzard and Electronic Arts may be leaving a potentially lucrative market to their competitors.It's weird how VR can make a familiar game feel like a completely new experience. Take-Two Interactive's investment in VR makes it a developer to watch. VR is growing, and the developers that build the hit games of the future may be starting their work today. VR may be a small industry now, but the companies building content for headsets today will have a foundation to build on for potentially decades. They still don't see this market as attractive enough, but that leaves an opening for studios that can build successful VR titles. A decade from now, the number of VR/AR headsets on the market could exceed gaming consoles, so developers need to start learning what content works on the platform.Д«ig studios like Activision BlizzardВ and Electronic ArtsВ have largely ignored VR so far. And that could be important ahead of rumored virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) headsets from AppleВ and updates from Oculus.

VR is simply a much smaller market.Д«uilding even small experiences in VR now could be a way for game studios to explore how to build for VR and what experiences will work for users. When combined with gaming PCs, there are hundreds of millions of consoles and PCs that they can build games for. But that pales in comparison with over 109 million PS4s in the market and over 48 million Xbox Ones. Sony ( NYSE:SONY) has sold over 5 million PlayStation VR headsets and Oculus sold 705,000 Quest headsets in 2019, according to the Nielsen company SuperData Research. The reason VR hasn't been an area of focus for big game studios is that the market simply isn't big enough. But studios like Rockstar don't see enough upside in VR to be building AAA games for VR-only devices yet, so using existing games to build a following in VR is a natural place to begin. It's worth noting that GTA 5 is more than seven years old at this point, so this would be adding a new VR game for a fairly old title. It's not clear what exactly the project will be when completed, but early speculation is that it could be a VR version of Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5).

Video Games Deluxe, a studio that is working exclusively with Take-Two Interactive's ( NASDAQ:TTWO) Rockstar Games, is hiring for an 'open world AAA VR project,' continuing on the work done on L.A. There was an encouraging sign recently that big games may be making their way to VR.
