High quality VR is simply too expensive right now for anyone but the most hardcore PC gamers due to the requirement for a high end gaming rig in addition to the headset. Facebook and Valve will have to continue subsidizing VR content and developers until they can change this.
- actsasbuffoon 10y agoPlaystation VR hits a decent sweet spot on price/quality IMHO. $350 for a PS4, $100 for a pair of PS Move controllers, $60 for a PS camera, and $400 for the headset. That's a total of $910, but cheaper if you already own some of the components. 36 million homes already had a PS4 as of this past January, so they can cut $350 from that price. The quality isn't as good as a Vive, but I've been able to play for hours without nausea. I bought an Oculus DK1 shortly after launch and suffered pretty severe nausea within 20 minutes most of the time. I was worried that I might be one of these people who just doesn't have the stomach for VR, but now I suspect it was the lack of head tracking on the DK1.
