What could they possibly do with Medal of Honor after they sold out and butchered the franchise with 2010's release. The last Medal of Honor that I honestly enjoyed (hands down) was Frontline on PS2. It feels like its been ages since I've cared about this franchise.

No PSVR? Who will buy this than?
Is the installbase on Vive or Oculus that high?

Aha.
EA becomes more and more ridiculous with every new Game they develop
If you combine the userbase of all the PCVR headsets plus Quest, they pretty much exceed PSVR's total. Yes it's an Oculus (temporary, knowing EA) exclusive, but you can play Oculus Store games with any headset with LibreVR/ReVIVE.
VR by itself opens new, unexplored gameplay possibilities, so the game will feel fresh just with that.

I'll be shocked if this runs on Quest though. And if it does that's not the device I would want to play it on. Its great for what it is though.

Oh I meant using the Quest as a PC headset via Oculus Link.

Gameplay preview
Supposedly in the headset, it looks much better compared to videos and immediately felt like a AAA shooter.
10 hour singleplayer
Multiplayer
Smooth locomotion(you play it like a normal shooter)
Feels great to play
Another huge get for VR. I expect splinter cell next.

They have to get the music right. Music is important in MOH.

Medal of Honor is the perfect game to promote VR.

It's much more important for VR to get a traditional length AAA campaign than an on-rails mode. The reception of VR would be better with the former, and that's what's needed.It looks good, tho Respawn should have choose the Wii Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 way. A regular FPS with an on-rails VR mode (Arcade) built around the regular levels. Something like this:

I think there's enough on rails options. VR is at the point now where it controls well enough to do regular games convincingly.

MEDAL OF HONOR IS BACK!
That's based on a bunch of assumptions of information we don't really have.
I'd argue you're overestimating base Vive&Oculus install base, but then again PC has like what - 30 something HMDs on the market by now that are theoretically all compatible, so who knows what the real totals are like.
I'd be more curious about buying habits - that's one area where Steam doesn't do so well compared to consoles, wonder how it ranks in VR space, not to mention Oculus store itself (I've had visibility into that until 2017 or thereabouts so I'm way out of date by now).

This looks like it will be fun to play in VR. I'm surprised it isn't also coming to PSVR seeing as Medal of Honor is a multiplatform franchise.

Yes. It's made from the ground up for VR funded by Facebook/Oculus.

There likely wouldn't be another MOH if it wasn't for Oculus. They have big money and you'll likely see alot of old franchises reborn for Oculus exclusives.

Sure thing, just a quick google search comes up with this:
VR device shipments by vendor worldwide 2017-2019 | Statista
With forecasted unit shipments of 2.2 million in 2019, Sony is expected to retain its title as the world’s largest vendor of VR devices.

But shooters play just like they normally do in VR, you just get life sized scale and depth perception. It only adds to the experience.

Not to mention aiming the gun and reloading with your hands like in real life instead of moving a pointer and clicking never gets old. Physically taking cover, instinctively and naturally reacting to your surroundings (sogood.gif). The last WW2 shooter I played before losing interest was Call of Duty 2, after that they all looked like the same thing to me with a shinier coat of paint. But VR makes things different enough that I want to try those kinds of games again.

FFFFFFF, I wanted a new MOH for PC. I might as well play AA again but I don’t know if the online servers are still active.

Just seen the trailer. Out of nowhere a new Medal of Honor game is coming...and its being made by Respawn? God Havens!
Game looks SICK. We have a Oculus Rift S at home and I really can't wait to play this. Looks very well made and like a AAA VR title.
Ahhh the memories, the music, WORLD WAR TWO

I would've loved to see Respawn actually try their hands on a new proper Medal of Honor. It would also be a "return back to the roots", so to speak, as Vince Zampella and Jason West were the founders of 2015 Inc. (which were originally part of Dreamworks Interactive, if I remember correctly), who did the first couple of Medal of Honor games...

Dude I have PTSD from Smash Bros, you bet one can get PTSD from MOH, especially in VR.

No doubt needs a mighty PC to run it. Maybe EA will look to bring it to the next-gen PS5?

How is this not a "proper" Medal of Honor?

because it's a VR title. I also see Half-Life: Alyx (which I liked very much!) as a nice side game to Half-Life. But it isn't a proper Half-Life game. But that's just how I see it.

Same sentiment. But was thinking early 360/PS3 game.
And this is a "AAA VR game"
No wonder lots of people view VR games as crap.

Yes your assessment is fairer! It definitely looks incredibly low budget for a big publisher. Very angular models and bland detailing. Its not the be all and end all for vr as even simple looking games can be incredibly immersive, however for an EA game I expected more, graphically at least.
I had hoped Half Life Alyx might have started a new trend of great looking and playing VR but it looks like we have to wait a bit longer.
Romulus

You expected Alyx to inspire AAA devs 5 months later? Most AAA games aren't even in ready to show anything by then. Hell of an expectation.

Looks like shit tbh, what the hell?

I think we were spoiled by Half Life Alyx. It looks nice but I cannot unsee City 17 rendered at such high quality.
