However, it is likely to change thanks to the announcement of the Oculus and Facebook to immediately release a cheaper version of headset, the Oculus Go.

This headset is a stand-alone VR without a camera will be priced at $ 199 and is ready for release in 2018. Unfortunately, there is still no company managed to increase the degree VR with innovation, to be more in demand by the public, including gamers. Nevertheless, price reductions become cheaper VR certainly could be a little encouraging other companies to create low-budget VR headset in the future.

The main idea is very simple mechanism, which provides for a battle arena that continues to shrink along the map. An idea that is not only brilliant, but also can accelerate the course of the game. This makes the player not only has to think fast to survive, but to know when and where they should run or hide from enemies.

The idea was to give other developers an idea of how the mechanism of battle royale good game. Obviously we hope they are able to present a different and innovative things in the future for this genre, not just mimic the basic mechanisms which already owned PUBG only.
