Recent Oculus Rift news revealed that the Facebook-owned console may give players a better experience than PlayStation VR.
PlayStation executive vice president Masayasu Ito shared his thoughts on the Oculus Rift and their own PlayStation VR. In an interview with Polygon, he confessed that the console may have lesser power in terms of hardware.
"If you just talk about the high-end quality, yes, I would admit that Oculus may have better VR," he said. "However, it requires a very expensive and very fast PC."
Ito added that the biggest advantage for PlayStation VR is that it works with PS4. "It's more for everyday use, so it has to be easy to use and it has to be affordable," he explained. "This is not for the person who uses a high-end PC. It's for the mass market."
Engadget reported that the Oculus Rift has a higher screen resolution (2160 × 1200) than its console-centric rival. It also has a wider field of view at 110 degrees.
Aside from the VR headset, fans can get a sensor, Oculus Rift games such as "Lucky's Tale" and "EVE: Valkyrie," cables, a remote for the console as well as an Xbox One wireless controller for the announced price. The Oculus Touch will be available later this year.
JobsnHire reported that 30 Oculus Rift games have been confirmed. VR versions of "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter" by The Astronauts as well as racing game "Project Cars" by Slightly Mad Studios will be available to buy once the console launches.
There will also be three different "comfort" levels: "intense," "moderate" and "comfortable." Intense games are mostly first-person or third-person with a fast-moving camera like in racing games.
Moderate games, on the other hand, are third-person with a slow-moving camera. Comfortable Oculus Rift games have a fixed camera that is able to switch views but not move.
The first batch of Oculus Rift consoles will be shipped on Mar. 28, 2016. The VR console's cost has been announced at $599.
