VR Games

Virtual Reality, or VR for short, is the name of the latest trend in the gaming scene. The history of VR in the entertainment sector is already decades old and already in 1995 there was the Virtual Boy from Nintendo, probably the first mass-produced VR glasses on the video game market. The idea was already good, but failed because of the technical possibilities. At that time, the presentation of the games in particular was not far enough to allow a sharp and detailed picture in a meaningful resolution.

The technology was first introduced in 2013, when Oculus Rift's Developer Kit, the first state-of-the-art VR eyewear, came onto the market. Games and experiences specially developed for the Rift have also contributed to the success, as there was of course no suitable entertainment software for the glasses yet.

What is the VR market currently like?

In the meantime the market has grown considerably and there are several other competitors on the market. The competition contributes positively to the further development of the glasses and the technology develops faster and further. In addition to Oculus Rift, it is mainly HTC Vive and PlayStation VR that dominate the market, but also mounts with which the smartphone is transformed into VR glasses enjoy great popularity. Since there is no standard here yet, it is important when buying games and other software to make sure that they are compatible with your own hardware.

What are there for known VR games?

The most famous and popular games for VR glasses at the moment are probably already known to most video game fans from the classic consoles and computers. With Fallout 4 VR, Bethesda has launched its own version of the post-apocalyptic RPG Shooter. Resident Evil 7 was also developed by Capcom for VR and is one of the first games specially developed for virtual reality. The shooter Farpoint sends you to a distant planet where you have to fight aliens to get back on your spaceship. Only in this way can you survive and return to your home planet.  But also completely new developments offer a breathtaking gaming experience and can keep up with the developments of the big studios. Like the zombie FPS Arizona Sunshine, in which you have to flee from zombie hordes and find all kinds of weapons and ammunition in the game world along the way.

In the future more and more games will appear for the different VR systems. In order to always find the best price, you should visit us before every purchase and get the best out of the Keyfuchs Gamekey price comparison.
