Clearly, GDC officials even exclusively to VR developers to try an independent virtual reality Developer Conference (VRDC), this is the first time in the history of the GDC.
But it is clear that major VR manufacturers at this year′s GDC exhibition held their independent activity, to recommend their VR related products in the industry. Ubisoft, for example, that they will be held within a week of informal business meeting, showing their range of VR technology demonstration, after all, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot admitted earlier VR areas with great development potential. Valve will be aligned with the HTC in this GDC on large-scale demonstration in April, shipments of HTC Vive, it is reported that there are about 30 different developers will be on hand to stall display for HTC Vive to create VR games.

GDC 2016今日开幕，VR游戏将迎大爆发 - GDC 2016,VR - IT资讯
一年一度的GDC游戏开发者大会即将于本周在美国旧金山举行，这场面向业内人士的专业展会能够在很大程度上预测今年游戏产业将会向何处发展，不过今年的这个预测似乎已经有了答案。伴随着Gear VR、Oculus Rift、HTC Vive和PlayStation VR这四款业内主要的虚拟现实头戴设备共同出展，至少有60款专门为VR技术打造的游戏展出，很明显，游戏产业将在今年步入VR时代。明确来看，GDC官方甚至为VR开发者们专门举办一场独立的虚拟现实开发者大会（VRDC），这在GDC的历史上还是首次。
但很显然，各大VR厂商们也会在本届GDC展期内举办各自的独立活动，向业界推荐自家的VR相关产品。例如育碧就表示他们将在一整个星期内举办多场非正式的商务会谈，展示自家的多款VR技术演示，毕竟育碧总裁Yves Guillemot之前也曾坦言VR领域是极具发展潜力的。而与HTC结盟的Valve自然会在本届GDC上大规模地展示预计在4月出货的HTC Vive，据悉大约有30位不同的开发者将在现场摊位上展示自己为HTC Vive打造的VR游戏。
而一直走在VR前沿的Oculus则计划在本届GDC上举办多场仅向受邀者开放的闭门活动，展示他们为Oculus Rift打造的“最新技术和多人游戏玩法”，并且展出至少40款VR配套游戏，其中有一款游戏已经获得确认，那就是为三星Gear VR打造的特别版《我的世界》。而对于两年前在GDC现场公开PS VR的索尼而言，他们计划在3月15日举行一场针对PS VR的专题发布会，业界普遍认为有关PS VR的最终发售价格、发售日期以及首发游戏阵容届时将会一一公开。
一项技术流的Epic Games也将在本届GDC上展出自家虚幻引擎（Unreal Engine）为VR开发者们所做的突破，届时将会有15款左右使用虚幻引擎打造的VR游戏将会在Epic展区内亮相。来自GDC大会策展方的执行经理Meggan Scavio认为，上述的种种趋势都表明，在经过了多年的等待之后，我们终于要迎来VR技术的正式商用化了，如今无论是普通玩家、游戏开发者还是投资人都对这一新兴领域产生了浓厚的兴趣，这或许意味着整个游戏产业的下一个关键词就是VR。
如今VR的轮廓在游戏产业中越来越清晰，那么它会对整个游戏产业带来怎样的影响呢？来自Epic西雅图工作室的总经理Ray Davis认为，VR技术为人们创造一款真正身临其境的游戏体验提供了可能，它为整个产业带来了影响甚至比当年GPU显卡芯片的引入还要深远，毕竟它开创了一种全新的游戏类型。或许在未来，我们还会看到诸如《魔兽世界》这样的重度化游戏拥抱VR技术，毕竟比起“玩游戏”，“走进游戏”或者说“成为游戏的一部分”显然更具吸引力。
