It isn't ready yet. We have come a very long way, but the hype always sets expectations - too soon for the quality and price consumers demand.
Compare what was an amazing experience in 1995 with MechWarrior 2 VR ($3000 headset + $3000 PC in 1995 dollars) to the experience that Sony offers with the PS4 for less than 1/6th the cost today. I am still excited to see what comes next.
- shostack 7y agoIMHO nothing matches the truly immersive experience of Battletech that they had at North Pier in Chicago when I was growing up. It was a fully themed space and you'd walk into a room full of pods (cockpits) and they'd slide the hatch closed on you. Then lights and multiple monitors would come on and you had a joystick, throttle, foot pedals for rotating your turret, and a massive array of switches, buttons, and their associated little red digital displays for weapon assignments, etc. It was unbelievable and at the end you all went into a room to watch a spectator view of the match and got a printout with every blow of the match described in log format. I think I still have my membership card somewhere.
