Oculus Link coming in November will be able to work with any VR-ready PC
Facebook might be most famous for its social network, but this isn’t the only business of the company. The company launched the Quest VR headset earlier this year and it already announced an update for it, the Oculus Link, which is coming in November. The Oculus Link basically turns your Quest into a Rift too. How does it do this? By offering access to the entire Rift library. Basically, thanks to this feature, users will be able to plug their standalone Quest into any VR-ready gaming PC and access the Rift library this way.
Even without the update, the Quest seems to be doing great. According to Mark Zuckerberg, the company is selling Quest VR headsets as fast as they can make them, so there is a real interest in the device. Now, with the new update and the upcoming updates, including way cooler controls, the Oculus Quest could be unstoppable. The Oculus Link might not seem like a major update at first glance, but it can actually bring a lot to the table and the upcoming improvements will also certainly upgrade the user experience ensured by the gadget.
According to Mark Zuckerberg, the new feature will work with the majority of USB-C cables. Turning the Oculus Quest into an Oculus Rift with the Oculus Link is incredibly easy, so every Quest user should definitely try it, come November. The company is constantly working on other improvements for its devices and software, so we can expect similar and even more interesting features coming our way soon. 2020 will definitely bing along the hand-tracking, which also sounds great and given the company’s investment in VR and AR things will certainly not stop there.
One player found an unusual way to roam Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s New York City as Venom again. However, intentionally crashing your game during a story segment requires nerves of steel, so we wouldn’t recommend it. Possible Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 spoilers!
UnderTheHood788 explained their method, which involves reaching a cutscene that switches players to Peter. They unplugged their PS5 when the screen blanked while switching to fidelity mode. As the game renders slower, fidelity mode was used. Players get Don’t Be Scared, a mission without an objective, after reloading the last save.
UnderTheHood788 advises, “Wait a bit and go to an unidentified target mission or talon drone mission to become Venom. Reload and become Venom, committing crimes against hunters, the flame, thugs, and even symbiotes. Bases are possible.”
If you like causing carnage, get a move on—Insomniac will spoil the fun in the next update. This indirect approach—what do you think?
On December 7, Ubisoft’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora hits PS5. Fans can expect new creatures, characters, and storylines that are influencing other Avatar projects as part of James Cameron’s canon.
Massive Entertainment director Magnus Jansén told IGN that the game’s new Western Frontier region—from plants to Na’vi clans—is now Avatar lore: “The Western Frontier is no less a part of the world of Avatar than what’s in the movies.” Jansén says one of their creations is in an Avatar exhibition, but most excitingly, “there is already some talk about maybe using some of the stuff that we did in the upcoming movies.”
Jon Landau, producer of the Avatar films, said: “I think clans are a perfect thing to someday try to weave into the movies. However, new environments follow. Go and say, “Okay, let’s explore what you did in the video game in the movie.” Frontiers of Pandora introduces the Aranahe, Zeswa, and Kame’tire Na’vi clans.
In addition, Lightstorm VP of franchise development Joshua Izzo teased: “I can say that there are going to be some future sequel elements in Frontiers of Pandora that will pay off when the movie comes out when Avatar 3 comes out in 2025. Because of ’25, careful Avatar fans may want to revisit certain things.
CD Projekt’s live-action Cyberpunk 2077 won’t arrive until 2025. In the company’s latest earnings call, the PM project was only mentioned as not expected in 2024.
During a call with IGN, chief commercial officer Michał Nowakowski stated that the company will continue to promote the game and develop the Cyberpunk IP through activities beyond the game.
Nowakowski said, “We’re not really discussing specifics here, but one of the obvious things that we have announced, not happening next year, but going to be developed or moved in the direction next year, is the project we have announced with Anonymous Content.”
Anonymous Content, which produced Crime & Punishment, True Detective, and Mr. Robot, seems like a good fit to bring Night City’s mean streets to life. We don’t know if the project will be a TV show, movie, game adaptation, or standalone story.
