But how many people play wii sports? It was awesome fun, super novel, and was huge for a while there but now it's died off. It'll be interesting to see if VR does the same. One thing going for VR is that there's more than one company making stuff.
- chaostheory 6y agoThe problem with Wii Sports is that you couldn't make it a high intensity workout. High intensity workouts are a reality in VR. This is just one example out of many https://www.getsupernatural.com https://www.getsupernatural.com Even boxing is amazing and tiring https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/3008315795852749 https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/3008315795852749
- abraxas 6y agoThrill of the Fight is an integral part of my workouts.
- Noos 6y agoDon't need VR for that at all, Konami did a great arcade boxing game that was also quite the workout in 2001, called Mocap boxing: https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8724 https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8724
- chaostheory 6y agoThe Oculus Quest 2 is $299 and it fits inside a small case. I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but your alternative is a giant, heavy, antique that's hard to find and that probably costs a few thousand dollars not including maintenance; and it plays only one game. I would highly recommend at least trying modern VR (Google Cardboard doesn't count) before having a stronger opinion on it
- abraxas 6y agoNot sure if serious... you think this contraption holds a candle to its VR counterpart?
- TulliusCicero 6y agoWii Sports was always a pretty casual thing with middling motion tracking ability at best. Something like Beat Saber on a Quest is an enormous improvement in terms of how compelling it feels.
