Make a Battlefield 2042 VR
Is there any project or development to make a Battlefield for virtual reality? Virtual reality is the future, it's another level. When you try it you don't want to stop. We want a Battle...
@Serkal92With all due respect, I get that VR would be dope in an all out fight kind of FPS, but hardware very much isn't there yet (as far as medium to low end rigs are concerned) for the majority of people. You would need at minimum a 30 series (which are outrageously priced right now) and more than likely a 40 series. DICE is struggling to get good frames at 4K, 128 players so much so that they cannot add any jeeps to deal with the map design issues. DCS is horrendous as far as VR FPS is concerned (for a myriad of reasons specific to that game), with the others being fairly decent under VR (had a good experience with Dirt Rally 2.0 /IL-2 so far). DICE is simply not the company that has the capacity to make VR happen especially on this scale (not sure if there is one at this point in time to be fair). I would think that some kind of "no holds barred" approach by a giant like Microsoft would be needed to make that kind of game. But usually those games aren't in their line of sight due to saturation of the market and the fact that the money would yield better returns in a different genre all together.
I'm not saying you have a bad idea, just that we are no where near Battlefield being brought into the VR realm in the near future (i.e. the next 7-8 years).
People have already played battlefield 1 in vr on medium and low end rigs. Other similar games that have a sizable scale have had added 3 and 6 dof added through mods. Plus one of the most common headsets, the quest 2, does not render that high and it is doing it with a mobile processor. Again, I do not know where you “guess”, your information from. Even if they just allowed vr modding, it could be done. They would not even have to do the work. The molders would do it for them, as they are doing it for several other games and many more in the past.
