In Star Citizen, the focus on Virtual Reality will return in 2016. And efforts here will be intensified.
As reported by RoadtoVR, according to Chris Roberts, one of the main focuses of the mammoth project Star Citizen in 2016 will be on Virtual Reality. They decided back in 2012 to support Virtual Reality, but this has fallen behind in recent months as the team worked harder to get Alpha 2.0 to players. Afterwards, they focused on 2.1.
Both Star Citizen and the Virtual Reality technology have undergone many changes in recent months, so there are now some updates regarding VR that Star Citizen must integrate. This will not be easy, as Star Citizen now also works differently with the CryEngine, no longer taking regular updates but picking and choosing what to implement.
Support for Virtual Reality is an issue for the staff in Frankfurt. The team there also took over the original Virtual Reality work at Crytek. Some work hours will need to be invested now, but they believe that they can close the gap to current Virtual Reality technology early in 2016.
