> Game developers are pulling back from VR
Some are, others are going all in and it's just getting good. Compare Lone Echo to launch experiences, it's a completely different experience. Not to mention Fallout VR and Skyrim VR launched this year.
> The VR virtual worlds are a disaster
Go on YouTube and search for VR Chat, check out the number of videos and view counts. VR Might not be mainstream yet and I don't believe it will be until stand alone headsets drop but it's naive to write it off just yet.
- baby 8y agoOculus Go is here for 200$. I’ve been telling all my friends to get it. Got one for my parents.
- GFischer 8y agoTheir marketing is failing, how come I didn't hear of it... I want something like that, I bought the old Xiaomi headset (basically a Google Cardboard) and I can't run Netflix on it (which was what I wanted them for :( ) The Standalone Xiaomi one does seem to run Netflix though :)
- obmelvin 8y ago> ...check out the number of videos and view counts... Why do you think that is an indicator of success? VR has plenty of hype; marketing is not the issue. There are plenty of people who are interested in watching a video on YouTube that won't buy a headset.
- whywhywhywhy 8y ago>Why do you think that is an indicator of success? Because this is what people in the video game industry are literally looking at as a gauge of success. Just look how much they court youtubers and streamers. Games are literally built around them in 2018. (Note, I don’t like that this is true but the sad fact is that it is true)
