It's not the future of gaming. I don't think anyone believes it is. There are far too many types of games which are fundamentally inappropriate for a VR headset.
However, it is a part of the future of gaming. Probably a big part, especially as more interesting control peripherals are developed. It's already amazing for basically any type of game where a joystick / HOTAS setup is appropriate.
- kendallpark 10y agoI agree that there could be a future for it. I just haven't seen anything demonstrating it's market viability. So far it feels like VR has been all talk and development and less so people rushing out to get headsets in mass droves.
- pyrophane 10y agoVR right now has a lot of first generation problems. It's expensive as a peripheral, and until PSVR comes out it is only available to people with gaming PCs. The resolution is too low, the headsets are kinda awkward, and most of the content available now barely rises above the level of tech demo. That and we still don't have a better solution to movement than teleportation. Still, I think for first person-gaming experiences, VR is the future, and that for the next generation of gamers who will likely grow up experiencing first-person gaming in VR first, the idea of anything else will seem pretty silly.
- kendallpark 10y agoMaybe I'm just an "old" timer. I could never transition to the Wii or the DS. My idea of gaming is me, with a controller in my hand, lying upside down on a couch in an all-out sedentary position. PC gaming is less desirable because it requires me to sit upright in a chair.
