I've noticed that VR sports games for the most part use cartoon like characters. While console games today are getting more and more realistic in how they portray the players. A few are almost photo realistic.

Is there a technical reason for why they don't follow suit? Too much demand on the system? I've held off buying Oculus because of this. I do see some shooters like a few war games where the characters look real...but sports games? Not so much...

Oh, they can very much so match in processing power. It's not a technical issue, its a license issue that holds it back. Playstation and Xbox consoles sell in the millions. For this platform, new licenses for players, leagues, and franchises get introduced. VR headsets, although slowly getting there, (think Meta at the moment) represents another platform that license fees would be associated with. VR headsets are nowhere close in number of units sold to justify such a fee. Even licensed games like NFL Pro Era Vr by StatusPro is created in an engine much less costly than compared to say UR Engine 5.1. It's just too costly at the moment to justify. I think eventually, it will happen. Meta has the resources.

There's one other path. Sony partnering with MLB and getting The Show on their PSVR2 unit. I'm sure that partnership can be had. It's the Players Union that still wants every $

Still, get the Q3 because it looks amazing and getting better with body tracking coming soon. I'm in, once I get all my holiday spending done first.

Been looking into what deals to get. Definitely in on Peaky Blinders but since it's already priced at $20 and I noticed that the PC version received a patch update, going to wait until later. Journey To Foundation is 30% off which looks interesting and Paradise Hotel got good reviews is priced at its normal rate $20

I cannot believe Madden, NHL, MLB The Show, FC, NBA 2K are not utilizing PS VR yet for their career modes (RTTS, etc). I've used various VR, and they are cool, but until these games get connected, it won't hold my interest.

It will happen soon Mike. Too expensive at the moment and god forbid they make something at a loss. Market demand, cost of development VR coding, UE5.1 costs, Fees, Licenses

However, even the NFL may start looking at these numbers.
