Sony buys Insomniac Games

It's going to be interesting to see whether the likes of Edge Of Nowhere and the other games that Oculus have funded for Store exclusivity remain on the Store. All depends on what the original contracts look like I would have thought.

How dare they fund a game I couldn't less about!

I would hope they would get shared with the PSN at least. Edge of Nowhere is a nice experience and would work well with PSVR.

Depends on the state of their contract I think. It wouldn't surprise me if Oculus had a buyout clause in there somewhere.

Someone from Oculus mentioned sharing exclusives with Sony not so long ago. Perhaps it was in reference to this? Or it could be unrelated of course.

I'd love to see Resident Evil 7 coming to the Oculus Store, but I think it NOT coming to PC VR is more down to the Capcom board being a bit dim and not liking money rather than a contractual restriction.

Feral Rites is also excellent and one that seems to fly under everyone's radar for some reason.

will remain on the store for sure........... hopefully will get a psvr release too.  not sure how true it is but i read oculus were happy to let them keep their own IP and so are in theory free to release their games on other platforms.

No doubt its good for Insomniac.

Yeah you’re here to troll me whoop whoop!!!

Actually I've returned here after a LONG hiatus. I was a member here well over 10 years ago but forgot my old username and email address so I had to create a new account. And the difference between you and me is that I haven't been banned from a forum and then created multiple accounts (which have subsequently all been banned) to troll a forum I've been banned from.

If I'm remembering correctly I originally created an account here asking about converting video files or something back in the 00s.

Okay, so to get back on topic, if Sony and Oculus DO end up sharing exclusives what do you guys want to see coming to the Oculus Store? I don't think they'll end up bringing their first or second party games to the Oculus Store but we could see some of their third party exclusives coming:

Until Dawn: Rush Of Blood
Deracine
Farpoint
Resident Evil 7 (pleasepleaseplease)
The Inpatient
The Persistence

I don't think it will happen that way but the Astrobot game is highly rated. I couldn't care less about Resi 7, I`ve played the snot out of the pancake game.
