It's true and it's unfortunate, we're just starting to see "affordable" hardware with decent performance. I finally pulled the trigger and bought a Rift, at 400 euros for the headset and the controllers it's pretty decent value IMO. Too bad VR seems to have lost some of its hype in the past year or two.
- ccozan 9y agoErr.. that's the exact definition of .. hype.
- simias 9y agoI don't understand, what is?
- ccozan 9y agoExaggerated promotion/excitement for a certain thing/tech in a short time. Which then suddenly disappears when another new think/tech is announced.
- simias 9y agoAh I see. My point was that in this case the hype was maybe a bit early, the tech was way too expensive for anything but wealthy early adopters up until a few months ago. I see that Oculus has announced the "Go", set to release early next year at $199. At this price it's no longer early adopter tech. I'm sure when these affordable VR sets are coming out the vendors are going to make a marketing push, preferably coupled with some big game releases.
