Finally some exciting VR news, if true!
Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed to Reportedly Get New VR Games Exclusive to Oculus
https://www.neogaf.com/threads/splinter ... s.1492210/Logan Moore wrote:In a new report from The Information, it was said that Facebook, the owner of Oculus, is looking to boost its library of exclusive games that the platform has at its disposal. As such, they have reportedly netted some exclusive deals with Ubisoft that would bring new VR games based on both Splinter Cell and Assassin’s Creed to Oculus in the future. Mark Zuckerberg himself has been said to be personally pushing for this and that new exclusives will lead to more sales for Oculus devices.
As of now, it’s hard to know whether or not this could be true since we’ve only heard it from one source. Furthermore, if a deal like this has been struck recently, then it might be awhile until we actually see what these Splinter Cell and Assassin’s Creedtitles would look like. So while this all could be true, it might take a bit until we learn more directly from Oculus or Ubisoft.
By the way, he's wrong about this necessarily taking "awhile". SC and AC games might have been in the works for months or even years, and just retooled very recently to be VR-exclusive. In fact, there's no reason for them to be VR-exclusive any more than there is for ex-Steam games to be Epic Store exclusives aside from the fact someone paid money for it to be so.
