Because VR games don't sell that much.
Space Channel 5 VR Kinda Funky News Flash! is the example.
The need of VR pheripheral make them a niche market.
It is a niche market but it is still doing more better than Kinect which was a niche market. There is still an audience for VR games, the problem is most game developers do not know how to cater for it.
Only a few VR games manage to hit the mark such as
BONEWORKS or
Half-Life: Alyx. Games made specifically for VR but not limited to it.
Way I see it, there are older games out there that to me look they will thrive in a VR remake. Such games as
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic or
Arx Fatalis.
Then there are PlayStation VR games such as Resident Evil 7 and 8. Not only were these games popular VR games, but they also had non-VR releases to allow players without PSVR to play, thus covering their market well.
It's like I said on the other thread, Rise of Nightmares was suppose to be an immersive horror game made specifically for the Kinect. But it was the Kinect that was holding it back. If it was remade for the VR it may have more favourable reviews, we just wouldn't know because Sega regards RoK a failure and will not look back on it.
Or the
very-very least... just re-release the game as it is, just playable with standard controller. The Kinect was the primary complaint about the game, not the game itself.
Rise of Nightmares may not get banging reviews next time round given the sour taste leftover from the Kinect, but at least more people will get to play
and enjoy it!
