Interesting news today coming out of Taiwan in regards to HTC and their Virtual Reality efforts. It appears that the company will be starting up a spin-off company of sorts to focus on Virtual Reality related products that HTC chair Cher Wang and HTC would own, even though it would run as a separate entity.
Yesterday we mentioned that the pre-order date for HTC’s Virtual Reality headset called the Vive was revealed in an interview, with the date being February 29th. This puts shipping of the headset probably in April, which is what HTC said it was aiming for. We got to spend plenty of time with both the THC Vive and the Oculus Rift last week at CES 2016, and we have plenty of impressions to go over regarding both in another article this week. However, if today’s news is correct, the HTC Vive may have just received a big red mark against it.
Good news for those of you wanting to grab an Oculus Rift headset the moment they become available. Pre-orders will be going live this week, or more specifically, in a couple of days. Snagging one of these headsets will also net you a few freebies that will come with it including two games: Eve: Valkyrie and Lucky’s Tale.
If you’re planning to snag an Oculus Rift headset when they officially go on sale soon, you will be happy to know that it will be coming with a couple of goodies. The newest addition to the catalog of goodies is a game called Lucky’s Tale, which will come free when you purchase a headset.
Anshar Wars 2 is the newest addition to the Anshar Wars series of games for virtual reality headsets, in particular the Samsung Gear VR for this release. For those of you not familiar with this game, essentially this is an aerial combat game that takes place in space. You get to choose one of the three available ship options when you start, then you’re off to complete objectives and missions.
A UK-based company called Ndreams has announced that they have raised a cool $3 million in funds to build new Virtual Reality games. The money was raised from Mercia Technologies and will go towards building VR games for a variety of headsets including the Samsung Gear VR.
OZWE Games has announced today that the sequel to their Anshar War Virtual Reality game is now available for Samsung Gear VR owners to download and play. For those of you not familiar with this franchise, Anshar War, and not the sequel as well, are arcade space shooter type of games.
G2A.com is a website that mainly deals with getting PC games for a lot less than retail cost. They haven’t done much else than that aside from offering a few smaller services. So it is interesting to see the company announcing a Virtual Reality game for the Oculus Rift which will be coming in the form of an amusement park.
We’ve already featured one VR headset in our deals which was last month. Now we have a new one that is available for a discount as well, this time from Innori. This particular VR headset is compatible with any smartphone with screen sizes ranging from 4.7″-6”.
If you’re a fan of Star Wars and also happen to be a Verizon subscriber, then you’re in for a pretty awesome treat starting today. Verizon and Google have teamed up to give away Star Wars themed Google Cardboard VR headsets, but to Verizon customers only of course.
