You may have heard that a couple of days ago Sony Interactive Entertainment reduced prices for sets with virtual reality helmet PlayStation VR. Then the news only concerned Europe, and now the Russian branch of the company confirmed: the offer is available in our country.
The cost of the kit, which includes the helmet, PlayStation Camera and the game VR Worlds, From now on, it is 22,999 rubles. A similar set, but along with the simulator Gran Turismo Sport will cost 25,499 rubles. You can purchase sets in the official Russian online store Sony.
Recall that PlayStation VR appeared on sale in October 2016. Then the recommended retail price for only a helmet amounted to 34,999 rubles. At the same time, the PlayStation VR requires the presence of the PlayStation Camera – without the camera, the device practically does not work. So the new set at a new price is an obvious benefit!
Finally Sony Interactive Entertainment states that at the moment about 300 games and entertainment applications have been released for the PlayStation VR. One of the latest additives is the virtual reality regime for super -speed races Wipeout Omega Collection (jokes jokes about "Ballegon 3000" you can in the comments below).

I had a chance to try this helmet … We are waiting further, or when the price becomes very funny, or when something is better released. Now he is not worth it to bother with his purchase.
The price is too high anyway. https://winpotcasino.co.uk/login/ There are practically no VR products, and those that are the language will not turn to call virtual reality. In 10 years it will be possible to look in this direction, but for now, there are enough ordinary games
I would take for exactly 5. Maybe even a few pieces for resale. )
So at the end of last year, people took sets for 15k according to a cunning scheme. With a new price tag, if there is an opportunity to stir up such a scheme again, then the kit will go out for 13k.
Without a camera (which is mandatory) and games. A similar set with GT Sport there is now 383 euros. And this is more expensive than ours.
Where does such confidence come from? I do not insist that the fate of 3D monitors and TVs awaits BP, but this option is seen as likely to me. So far, for many players, BP looks like an expensive and meaningless gimmik. And buy a device and games for it, they are in no hurry. There are few players -> It is unprofitable to develop large and serious games -> Little decent games -> there is no point in buying BP -> A vicious circle.
Yes, maybe I’ll even take it, I looked at VR for a long time, but taking it for more than 30 thousand is an overkill, but 22 more or less.
The main thing is that the vestibular apparatus can handle it, fortunately, I take to try to try and it turned out that mine could not ((
And who says that the game needs to be stupid under BP? the same resident7 COMPOSSIBLE under it, without adjusting, works with him quite well with him. And in general, for a genre such as a shooter, race, horror, VP will soon become an integral attribute, while the games do not interfere with the work without helmets, which means that there will be little problems with the fact that these same helmets will not be.
The faster the really comfortable stray will appear for the same shooters, well, Muv controllers, etc.D. the sooner BP will begin to become commonplace. And the price will fall over time.
If I remember correctly, then there you still need to buy controllers for the game. What are they called right there.
The price does not yet guarantee the influx of players. First of all, a hype is needed. Haip was, but already slept. So selling BP purely due to the fact that “this is a virtual reality, The Future is now and all that” is already problematic.
Well, since the technology itself is no longer so interesting for players, interesting games are needed. And seriously spending on BP the game is still a roulette. Developers are not interested in what in the future it can once be (or maybe not!) BP will become massive. They need to beat money now. And to repulse a serious budget is problematic when there are still very few users of BP, plus it is obvious that not every owner of the BP-School will buy a specific game. In order to recapture the AAA-Igra budget, you need to sell copies, probably more than sold all the BP-Schles taken together. Therefore, it is hardly worth expecting a blockage of serious VR-games. And when a significant part of the BP-game is short-lived or technology for a couple of hours at a price of close or the same as that of full-fledged games, even the small price of the helmet will not make it especially attractive.
Here, perhaps the developers of the helmets themselves should invest in creating attractive games for their devices. But the same Sonya, although it seems to Piact BP at his exhibitions, something is in no hurry to issue breakthrough games for him. And if the creators of the helmets themselves do not try to increase the attractiveness of their products, why would third -party developers try?
> And who says that the game needs to be stupid under BP?
Well, they say that in order to make the console attractive, you need exluisles. I think the same garbage. It is one thing when you already have a VR-shlem-here you can already choose a VP version of the game, even if there is a regular version. But specially buy not cheap stray to play games that you can play without it – I do not think that this option will be attractive for a significant number of people.
Well, the same resident is an exception. All the same, new games for BP or BP versions of existing games are developed separately for BP.
Damn, exactly, he was counted. They took 8k just a helmet and 10k sets with a camera and a game. Forgot that then the price was already reduced and so.
