While F1 appears like an ideal candidate for VR, Codemasters aren’t eager to leap in simply but.
F1 2017 has simply launched on PC, PS4 and XBox One, and a few followers have questioned whether or not the sport will get a VR mode, similar to the corporate’s Dirt Rally did.
The sport’s artistic director Lee Mather has spoken with Gamesindustry concerning the sport’s VR prospects, and says that whereas they’re “considering” VR, the adjustments required could be huge.
“It’s a little trickier for us because we’re pushing the boundaries when it comes to our physics”, Mather says. “We have a lot of elements on screen with the OSD, so that’s a lot of information the player would have to process in VR. The changes to move the game onto VR would be fairly significant, and we wouldn’t want to do it if it meant compromising any area of the game.”
That doesn’t imply that we received’t get F1 in VR sooner or later, it’s unlikely that we’ll see DLC for F1 2017.
Mather was additionally requested about the potential of F1 on Switch, and once more it could be one thing we’ve got to attend on, but it surely definitely feels like a risk. “It probably wouldn’t be suitable to have exactly the same game we have running on Xbox One and PS4”, he says, “but there’s certainly the possibility we’ll look at doing something on Switch. We’ll see what happens in future. It’s certainly getting the market share to make it a valid place to be.”
Two very non-committal statements, in fact, however we’ll see what occurs.
