The Blackangel Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Lenny's conversation with Arthur when they went to check out Shady Belle would definitely be scrapped. Check the video at about 2:52 in. Edited February 11, 2022 by The Blackangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll try to censor everything and I don't want any watered-down PG crap of a game. That’s a good point; not a good idea for a social media giant to be a publisher and make consoles. They are highly invested in VR anyways. They have their hands tied there, for a while at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 Also, if they do ever make a console, they could potentially have the bigger userbase just because of how many people use Facebook. Now I'm not saying that would happen, considering not every facebook user is a gamer, but it would probably be easy for facebook users to navigate their profiles.

Before they bought out Oculus, I really wanted that VR headset but since Facebook has taken over, I won't be caught looking at one. 2 hours ago, Kane99 said: Also, if they do ever make a console, they could potentially have the bigger userbase just because of how many people use Facebook.

Most people hate anything Facebook because they're so intrusive so I doubt gamers would want a Facebook console. I mean, just look at the Google Stadia - it went absolutely nowhere and the same with Amazon. Most people will stick with the established 3 of Nintendo, Sony, Xbox or some company that has a huge reputation in the gaming industry like Steam. I much rather it stayed this way if I'm being honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Since Facebook is running their own gaming space, they simply need to develop their own console, which will make their video game project more lightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Facebook have been quite lazy when it comes to development of their own announced cryptocurrency, talk more of getting their own video game platform. It gonna take a long while for you to start seeing such, if only it will be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got an Oculus Rift before Facebook bought it. I just need to say right now that it was nothing but a piece of shit. I recommend never buying one regardless of who owns it.

Noted - it was the infancy of VR tech though so that's why I wanted to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Since it's your choice to get the VR tech, their is nothing bad. I am still speculating more about Oculus then I'll decide what to do about it in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I think unless they find the VR tech and the developers we are not going to be seeing much from the market. we have to just wait and watch on this approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) One of my main issues with the Oculus Rift, was that the headset weighed a million pounds. You damn near needed a stand to rest your head on just to use the damn thing. The PSVR wasn't much better, if any at all. And the lens on a PSVR scratches easy as hell to the point that it's so distracting that you can barely play the damn game.

True, but you have to consider billions of people use Facebook, even if many hate it, which I agree, it should receive a ton of hate, it doesn't change the fact that their user base is massive. And I imagine facebook could easily navigate their userbase to a console. Simply sign in with your facebook email and password and you're ready to game. That's a very real possibility. Stadia went nowhere because Google pretty much peaced out after it bombed. It's still up today and supposedly people use it. How many, I have no clue, but as of right now, Stadia is still alive. It so far is a failure, but somehow they're keeping it afloat. I think there's still a chance it could rebound. Once streaming becomes more of the norm, Stadia could potentially increase in usage. But, they need to build up a better catalog of games. As well, any paid subscriptions, should give you access to more games than what they currently offer. I don't think it's much right now.

Altair Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Quote True, but you have to consider billions of people use Facebook, even if many hate it, which I agree, it should receive a ton of hate, it doesn't change the fact that their user base is massive.

They do have a massive user base. You have to have a facebook accoun tto play the oculus quest. You have to sign into your facebook on the app to be able to get on the occulus quest. If millions of people buy their Oculus quest2 VR then there is no doubt that people buy a console from then if it a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egghead Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 When it comes to Facebook, or Meta as they call themselves these days, you cannot be sure on anything. They have announced NFT marketplace and their own crypto. They might create their own consoles as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Facebook announced cryptocurrency project for some time ago, they've really delayed the inception of their own cryptocurrency and marketplace. I just hope this time it comes into fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
