Facebook buys maker of BeatSaber VR game
- justinclift 7y agoDamn. :( Beat Saber was on my ToDo list once I get a VR rig. But there's no way I'm giving money to Facebook.
- notjustanymike 7y agoTry Pistol Whip instead. It's the same type of games, just with guns.
- esyir 7y agoIt's not. They're similar games in which they both depend on rhythm, but beat saber more so (You lose if you're off rhythm).
- justinclift 7y agoThanks. Beat Saber appealed strongly to me, specifically because of my escrima/kali training. Pistal Whip doesn't have the same kind of draw (sic). ;)
- propelol 7y agoI don't get why they are doing this. Wouldn't it make more sense to let them be independent, so the VR ecosystem seem larger and organic?
- dTal 7y agoBecause it's the "killer app" of VR, so far. If they own it, they can privilege their own VR platforms (earlier releases etc).
