Studio people can fly VR games, citing a retreat in investment from platform owners
Polish video game developers people can fly – known for their own developed titles such as Gears of War: The judgment and Bulletstorm – have had small but remarkable executive titles of virtual reality based on both new and old properties. Last year, the studio released Bulletstorm VR, developed by a subsidiary called Incuvo, for mixed reviews. But these reviews are not what the studio quotes while packing their VR plans, according to His last financial disclosureS
In the statement entitled “The PCF Group SA decision to eliminate its VR games,” People may advise that the studio’s board of directors has analyzed its investment in VR platforms and identified a change “consisting of a significant reduction in the investment in the production of new VR games.
In other words, platform owners such as PlayStation, Meta and Valve do not invest money for new games from their VR platforms in the amounts they have previously made. As such, this no longer makes sense to studios such as People to fly to make VR titles at the possible cost of making games for a bigger flat screen market without subsidizing to mitigate the risk.
Last year, Meta closed the internal VR Gaming Studio, ready at dawn, signaling that VR Gaming was no longer a top priority compared to the multimarium Bundogle, which has become their horizontal world initiative. Other VR studios, such as Sanzaru Games, made a critical success last year with Asgard’s Wrath II, but Meta was a mom for their sales.
While the VR market tends to attract and run, there is a lot of cause for cynicism if companies that fund current software are retreating. The subsidized investment as a means of creating a foundation and audience for VR with the growth of technology was the only way to build it in the long run. This becomes an insolvent risk for VR companies with multiple employees and major projects to rely solely on how well the end result of the market is, as the audience is not yet large enough to pay it consistently.
For studios like people can fly, the choice is clear. It is too risky right now to go yourself.
