HTC also revealed that companies such as Google, HBO and Lionsgate were all committed to making content for their VR headset as well. So does this mean we’ll get to battle White Walkers with Peter Dinklage in the near-future? It better.
Vive will be shown off at GDC next week with developer kits shipped out soon. The consumer version is slated for a late 2015 release date.
