It's not the hardware. VR needs a killer game to make a market.
- sp332 10y agoBut for now, Sony has a more comfortable headset, lower price, easier setup, and better games. Maybe by the time the next generation of PC VR hardware is ready, game designers will have figured out something compelling to play on them.
- rocky1138 10y agoAre you implying my gardening simulator is not the killer app guaranteed to push units?
- andywood 10y agoI agree there isn't a killer game yet, and half the titles are actually demos being sold as games. However there are already several very good games: Eagle Flight, Bound, Robinson, Job Simulator. I'm not even slightly disappointed with the current, very early library.
- AndrewKemendo 10y agoI think that's what they were hoping to do with Lucky's Tale - the Super Mario Bros of the VR world. Only problem is, kids aren't playing VR games. Kids are playing PokemonGo - which is AR. [1]http://newatlas.com/luckys-tale-oculus-rift/41343/ http://newatlas.com/luckys-tale-oculus-rift/41343/

- swsieber 10y agoIf it's vr with hand tracking, I think an Avatar (the series) game would be amazing.
- talmand 10y agoWell, that can depend on the individual. I personally would buy the Vive just for the archery game in Valve's The Lab. If I could justify the expense, that is.
