I wonder how popular is samsung gearvr turned out to be?
For instance, how popular are games like gunjack doing?
I couldn’t see much activity on their social medias so I’m trying to figure out how “accessible” are the games on gearvr?
I’m not asking in terms of tech or engine related issues, I’m just wondering with a price tag of 99usd, are masses ready to consume bunch of games released for it? Or people are waiting more(better?) games to be releases on gearvr
Any thoughts?
Masses? I doubt that. It’s a niche product, which is never the less popular.
Currently it’s mostly used for photo / video viewing and not too much for gaming. If you have compatible phone, just buy it and test it.
S7 will be revealed on Feb 21st, and the rumor has it that positional tracking will be available.
Wait you mean current s6 and s5 gearvr don’t have positional tracking at all?
Without any knowledge of downloads/purchases it’s really hard to tell. The best i’m going with right now is the star ratings. Now granted the number of people rating something vs the number of people actually playing is extremely one sided but never the less the ratings are in the 1,000-4,000 range. But then again no one is using rating conning methods on the Oculus market so it wouldn’t be fair to compare it to anything on the play store, plus there is the fact that your audience is limited to select phone users which us further limited to people who have the phone and the HMD.
Not yet. Carmack has been working on it for months apparently. They might unveil it this Sunday at Unpacked event.
