Nokia has launched the OZO Player SDK, a cross-platform foundation for creating applications with high fidelity VR video playback. Road to VR spoke with Nokia’s Head of VR Technologies, Tarif Sayed to learn more about the offering. While VR video portals like Jaunt, Littlstar, Samsung VR, and others offer a single destination from which to stream many different...
We did it. We picked the 10 best games of 2016, and you better agree with us (because we don’t even agree with us). After hours of consideration, the GamesBeat crew has chosen its Game of the Year and its overall top 10. This is separate from our personal lists, which you can find here. This...
Welcome to another GamesBeat weekly roundup! As 2017 approaches, it’s time for us to pick our favorite games of the year. You can find our individual lists and our video podcast choosing GamesBeat’s overall pick for 2016’s best game below. Have a happy New Year, everyone! We’ll see you in 2017! Pieces of flair and...
I spend most of the year laser-focused on games. But next week, I’m going to expand my horizons beyond games to the entire tech industry. I’ll be attending CES 2017, the big tech trade show next week in Las Vegas. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve made it to this show, but I still...

The game is a defensive shooter with various weapons you can grab for Vive, the ability to fortify your dwelling, and some impressive visuals all for free.

But, thankfully, every year eventually comes to a close and as this one prepares to wind up we can turn our attention to the bright (slightly denial-fueled) promise of 2017 — and it’s...

Last week we announced a comprehensive list of nominees for our 2016 Game of the Year Awards. There were over 20 categories selected with approximately 4-8 different games and experiences nominated for each category. That all adds up to a ton of amazing content we saw in VR’s first full year of consumer adoption. We teamed...

It’s a far cry from its predecessor, PlayStation 3, which utilized proprietary CELL technology and released at the expensive price of $599.
