The Fate of VR
With the release of many virtual reality headsets expected during the early months of 2016, it’s fair enough to suggest that the video games industry is about to reach a potentially huge turning point. First things first – the pricing of these VR headsets. Based off the comment made by Andrew House on PlayStation VR, the general price of the headsets releasing this year will be a ballpark figure between $300-$400. While these may seem like pricey bits of tech, the early months of 2016 may see the reveal of a bolstered launch window line-up of titles for these headsets, which will provide more of a reason to pick one up.
As the year continues VR could truly take off, with headsets selling pretty quickly, existing games getting some element of VR support, and third party developers really getting behind the tech. Of course, this may be wishful thinking, but with the positive press that VR headsets are receiving from those who have experienced the tech, this is prepping to be the next grand step in the video game industry.
