Recommended VR publications

Alec Turner · Oct 18, 2016

I'm on the lookout for any good magazines, websites, blog's etc concerning VR.

I'm a new Oculus purchaser (in my 3rd week now) and am keen to keep up with new developments, reviews of new hardware, software, games and other "experiences".

I'll endeavour to keep the following list updated as I become aware of new publications:

Road to VR - seems like a pretty decent and regularly updated VR news website. They also do a nice email newsletter that you can subscribe to.

Wired magazine's Oculus technology section.

(click for link)

The Rift Arcade - an Oculus news and games review site.

(click for link)

VR Focus - Rift/Vive/PSVR/Cardboard/Gear news and reviews.

(click for link)

VR Today Magazine - internet magazine with more of an international feel.

(click for link)

Upload VR - general VR industry news.

Just added a bunch more publications following a bit of google research (which has probably just cost me £30 'cos I've been reading reviews of Eagle Flight).

Beware. I have way more VR games than I have time to play, and I'm so looking forward to Lone Echo.

I don't read the magazines, i just follow the stuff on youtube.
I played EAGLE FLIGHT, is OK offline and was a lot of FUN Online

Dog..Ehm EAGLE FIGHT

I was in this video, my point of view was streamed on FB and my bandwidth makes me stream at low quality.

I need to read more info on Eagle Flight... are there missions? "Crap on someones windscreen", or "bite someones car aerial off".

Can see it being fun with other people but in a an Avatar Ikran-flying kind of way.

Not sure if it has the legs to justify that price though. (or wings) lol

For now i think the price is a bit high
The game is a bit like a Midtown Madness with wings, checkpoints, skill driving(Flying), protect the objective and so on. For now the Online is really boned down to a 3 vs 3 in a CTF way, get the thing and bring there, hiding from the enemies.

Thanks, added to the list.

Also, I subscribed to the "Road To VR" Daily Roundup email and it provides a nice summary of daily VR news and reviews. Looks like a good way of not missing out on anything new and interesting (which was my main reason for starting this thread).

I subscribe to the RSS feeds for Upload VR, Road to VR and VR Focus. The feeds are then filtered for the keyword 'Oculus' and the results end up in one feed. That way I don't get loads of emails full of stuff I'll never read
