The killer app for this thing is Elite Dangerous for me, but £500 plus shipping? I think I'll hold off for a price drop. They'll never hit any kind of mainstream market at that price. What is facebook thinking? Perhaps they are launching at a stupid price to get max. revenue from early adoption and to let their factories build up a stock of components and then reduce the price to gain market-share. Maybe by the time that happens Star Citizen will be good? Hmm, big maybe...
I'm also calling it... I'd expect Sony to ship theirs at about $100 less now that they've seen a price and claim it's #forthegamers... because, well, they are good at that. But if it's any less than $500 then it will be cheap garbage. It's all a bit silly paying more for a peripheral than the console but, the PS4 is really not powerful enough for VR based on the PC specs required so they will need to cram a lot more into it.
Play Gone Home if you want the ultimate in "is that it?" gaming experiences. Disappointing. Don't get caught in any hype about people telling you it's a great game. It's not a great game. It's an interactive story with very little mechanics. I'd recommend Life is Strange over Gone Home. Much better title.
Look at Resident Evil 1. Remember how that goes? Good.
Now look at the PT demo Sony released. Full of atmosphere. Got it?
Now do Resident Evil 7 like a mix of the two and you will have a gigantic hit on your hands and restore faith in the brand.
What I witnessed here with this video above. That won't break 500,000 copies and will flop.
Huge Resident Evil fans don't want this and regular FPS gamers and competitive e-sports players don't want this. Time to get your head out of your ass Capcom before there is no Capcom left.
