GTA Online: Further Adventures in Finance and Felony Trailer
In a recent interview at the Cowen and Company Technology Media & Telecom Conference last week, the CEO of Take-Two Interactive, Strauss Zelnick spoke on what’s currently wrong with the upcoming virtual reality expansion to the retail masses. With PlayStation VR set to launch this fall and Microsoft set to premiere details for their upcoming Oculus Rift console next week, Mr. Zelnick believes virtual reality technology is too expensive. “It’s way too expensive right now.
There is no market for a $2000 entertainment device that requires you to dedicate a room to the activity. I don’t know what people could be thinking. We don’t have something where you stand in a big open space and hold two controllers with something on your head— and not crash into the coffee table. I’m not unexcited about VR, I’m just saying it remains to be seen.
There are impediments.” Well, with Take-Two still not on board to take Grand Theft Auto away from standard, don’t expect a VR title from Rockstar Games anytime soon. You can look for their upcoming e3 show next week, where they’ve confirmed a new famous franchise would be unveiled.
