VR games already patching out the VR

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! IT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING! YOU GUYS JUST HATE IT BECAUSE IT'S NEW! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO RUIN EVERYTHING Holla Forums!? IT'S THE FUTURE. HOLODECK! WAIFUS! IMMERSION TO THE CORE! YOU'LL SEE!!!!!!!!

I don't get the mentality behind spending less than $400 on a console and then $600 on VR for that console.
The Vive is actually fucking decent with Steam VR (esp google earth and the city tours where you can literally "fly" right over streets of Florence or Paris) and getting better.
Shit, they just had a new update yesterday and I've yet to update the controllers because haven't had time yet.

I hate it because developers made non-games with it. 99% of all the VR's shit being nothing tech-demos isn't even remotely enough to grab people's interest. It's not that we didn't embrace it, it's that developers developers didn't. Don't fuckin' blame us for this.

If you spend a day with Vive, you'll come away with a different opinion. Supposedly you can watch VR porn somewhere, haven't tried that but just based on how…I can't explain it to someone who hasn't used it.
3d was a fad, because after one movie you get bored with it. This won't be a fad. It's almost too fucking good. Imagine you are "standing on the moon" in VR and for a second forget it's VR and hear a noise and turn around. Behind you all you see are stars.

So VR dying faster than motion gamimg?

Maybe if it wasn't so fucking expensive and people actually made games with it it could've been a success

But you're not going to see developers put big shekels into it into it's affordable enough that the average normalfag can afford it.
The PS4 thing was a gimmick from the start. Rift might have been good but Zuckerberg kiked it. I'm less into it for games and more into it for google earth, eventually how it could be used to…recreate Pompeii, let you visit the Louvre anytime you want, etc..
The only really, easily accessible tech that would cool is a "VR gun" that lets you blow brains out (either in war or a GTA type thing), but the Jews aren't going to allow that. At least not commercially. Maybe it will be an underground game thing.

for reference Lair took about 8 months before the sixaxis was patched out.

It's dying faster than the EyeToy.

Right now on Vive, you can "climb everest" or visit the grand canyon or go through space…before it gets low-brow, it's going to be high brow. If Nat Geo wasn't such a shit hole now run by a feminist jew bitch, imagine all the cool shit they could put out and let you go to Patagonia or the Galapagos in VR…Not sure what's available for the rift, need to check steam but Vive's decision to work directly with Steam settled it for me even though it was 200 more shekels.

Even that doesn't make sense, for the product to be successful cash grab it still needed support, i.e. games worth playing on it. I have yet to see a flagship VR game as it were.

We saw if with the video game industry. That started off small and developers kept with it and made something bigger and bigger every yeah. Don't act like every failed gimmick comes from people not wanting it to be a success, and don't act video games was a billion dollar industry when it first started out. The industry has to stick with it. Fuck you, fuck yourself, fuck everyone you know, and fuck your pet too.

post yfw you didn't fall for the VR meme

I'm not surprised.

I played on my sister's Gear VR once, it was pretty impressive for immersion, especially when using headphones. All the VR phone games were expectedly trash of course.

If VR was just an optional thing for vidya, where headtracking replaced mouse-movement (using some sort of turning system like in Metroid Prime 3 where if you point near the edge of your view you turn I guess) it would be decent. If you could use your entire computer without a monitor, just the HMD in a kind of 'theatre mode', it would be decent. But no, all that's being made are "dedicated VR" games that are all crap as far as I can tell, and you have to constantly take the headset off and put it back on. You can't just use it as a god damn monitor replacement. It's like they're trying their hardest to make it tank with stupid design decisions.

That's the curse of VR. It would be awesome and sell well if it was done right, and we know how to do it right, but the money people would rather make it shit and then wonder why it doesn't sell.

Why are game developers such fucking TRASH?

The past decade of engineering miracles (Wiimotes, Kinect, VR, 3Dvision) are absolutely wasted on the dogshit game developers of today.

TBH, i tried out the playstation VR (my cousin bought into it) and i thought it was pretty neat, despite the tech seeming to be mostly limited to on-rail shooters and whatnot.

i would almost buy it, but who the flippity floppity fuck would actually blow $800 on the fucking vive? christ, i spent 2k on my computer and i felt awful about it, no way would i just trash $800 on a gimmick.

But VR is the future!

You know you could blow 400 on a PSVR or OSVR HDK2 and use one of those with your PC, right? Vive isn't the only option.

still too much for a gimmick like this. i wouldn't buy one past 200, and even then i'd be really fucking picky about whether i actually want it or not (i'm leaning away from it).

You'll be waiting for a long time if you want a standalone HMD for that price, but a phone VR solution might be possible. I believe TrinusVR has support for streaming to phone VR systems besides getting SteamVR onto PSVR. On one hand a worse solution than Vive, HDK2 and PSVR, on the other it's the cheapest option. You might want to look into this.

of course, i'm more than likely not going to get into VR at all, if it's already a dying market.

LG G3s have beautiful 2560x1440 high res displays and you can get them for less than $50 if you look around. That + a cheap headmount gets you phoneVR for

To make a game that would push hardware sales in the 70s and 80s you needed 1-10 people and a some shekels to cover manufacturing costs for carts or disks or whatever the fuck. Now you need a couple hundred people and 8-9 figure budgets. Who the fuck is going to risk $50 million and 3 years of dev on the off chance they get a product that will prompt millions of people to rush to Shart*Mart and buy VR rigs? Nobody. Until someone like PornHub launches a solid VR + teledildonics service, that shit's going to remain niche garbage for mancavers to fuck around with while Dwayne and Tyrone DPs their wife and breeds their tween daughter.

Some companies are making bets on AR but that's never going to go mainstream, either.

VR is being used outside vidya for simulation training. In particular things that require you to physically walk in person, but can manipulate virtual objects.

It's not, it's just not bursting through records like retarded "analysts" tried to make the world believe with their sensationalist headlines. But waiting for a decent library of games certainly is a wise choice if you're still undecided.

People just hate having stuff on their head. Same reason Google Glass and 3DTV were DOA for mass consumption.

At the very least I hope arcades start to employ VR. It could be a great way to revive interest in arcade/lasertag type facilities. I lived through the 90s "cybercafes" and that was pretty amazing.

AR as a tool could be amazing. A ruggedized AR glasses setup could see plenty of use in commercial applications. AR as a toy strikes me as more of a /tg/ sort of thing.

You know people are working on the VR+Teledildonics thing right?

So how long until PS VR gets to be TV Vita tier priced?

Ya got rused, you dolts.

Kek

You're right, it's tottaly not doomed

And Valve is licencing it's tracking technology so it won't die even the Vive does.

You must love nuDOOM, COD, generic third person shooter #27, etc. Since your metric of success is "Whatever the most people want"

I didn't complain about any of those things. I'm talking about profitability

Yeah, that's why I said until…and man I do not envy the company that's first to market with a MaaS platform because they're going to have to figure out how to deal with privacy concerns while policing against underage camwhores. And it'll be hilarious when we see the first news story about a dude getting jerked to death or getting his dick ripped off by his rig.

I think that AR will definitely be widely used as you say, as a work tool. And as a military tool. I'm sure that the waifu industry will have a big niche presence there, too. I just don't see it mainstreaming, because of how Google Glass got its shit wrecked so convincingly.

Why make a $60 dollar AAA game when you can make a $5 phone game more people can afford

Sorry, I forgot to reply to your specific braindead nonsense arguement that is disproven by just about any industry that has ever existed.

Resident Evil 7 is incredible good and scary on Playstation VR but you are desperate to this fail because you don't have money to buy, and many people don't want to buy these things because they don't want to give so much money, who make they develope less games, and in the end the technology die.

Kinect was fucking awesome in 2011, i had girlfriends, mother, brothers, family who enjoyed this with me, kinect adventures, and some other game, was awesome but died.

Also, some 3D are awesome, the good 3D, i had active 3D on NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 on my master race PC from 2013, with Benq 120 fps Monitor, and the other 3D looks so inferior compared to the 3D of Nvidia 3D Vision 2, but i never had these expensive TV with 3D to test them, i have a expensive 4K HDR High Quality TV and is awesome, i know some people are jealous but if you buy a 4k TV your games on PS3 and Xbox 360 will looks bad, you in thew worst case need to have 1080p games, so don't buy 4k TV if you don't have money to play at least in 1440p, don't have money to play in 4k and don't have money to buy GTX 1070 or GTX 1080 who is better, or don't want to buy PS4 4K that don't look bad, in all youtube video comparisons they looked very close to PC 4k, but some games like Ryse of Tomb Raider looked better on 4k from PC but the PS4 Pro was good too, since the games are made in graphics for consoles and they put only few tricks on PC, they are very close in quality and PS4 Pro have the highest resolution on consoles with the best checkboarding upscalling (The upscaling of xbox one s is worse than upscalling of PS4 Pro)

I have TV 4K and the quality is very good, maybe the problem could be play the game in 30 fps but i prefer the quality since i have 4k TV and the higher the resolution the best the game looks, and 1080p looks a little bit turn off in my 4k TV, need to be at least 1440p with good upscalling like PS4 Pro and the game need to have good textures, have quality

Is this bait?

I Never Took An Economics Class: The Thread

I think it's the return of schizoanon.

ITT: Poorfags with no Vive talk about things they know nothing of

ITT: People just don't understand how perfect Valve is and how you should always suck their poverbial cock.

Except these two have nothing to do with VR in the first place.

>>>/cuckchan/

This. No one wants to spend $600+ on a VR set when they could just buy a top of the line GPU or CPU or anything else for that money. Shit should be hovering around the $300-$400 range if they ever want to make money off of it

Has anyone with the Vive done the bluetooth update for the base stations yet? I set mine up like shit (fucking walls not thick enough to take the screw..it works but don't want to push my luck) and not particularly keen on taking both down to update with an hdmi mini.
If this update works, will make life a whole lot fucking easier.

They used to say the same thing about cellphones though.

The chances, I'd put at 70/30 right now that it will stay basically in current form. 100% that it will stay in some iteration.
I've told this story here before I think, but waited until a few days after Christmas '15 for Amazon to drop the TVs and get a better deal on a giant Electronic Synagogue.I had just cashed my check, came home and decided to wait until next morning to buy the OLED LG TV I wanted.
Upon waking, Amazon had raised THE TV I WAS ABOUT TO BUY BY $1,000 shekels. In one fucking night. I have no idea what happened that night, a big jap company must have put in a huge order for OLED a few days prior and established in market that will be the industry standard within a few years. Next fucking Apple phone going to be OLED.
Point is, the fact that the price hasn't been forced down yet tells you it's still a viable tech. There are at least 12 other versions of VR now, but Vive still gets away with charging $800 and is by far most popular.
Why? when you compare them all, it;s still by far the best.

Seriously nigger why the fuck do you indent your paragraphs?
I can literally tell you're the same person from another thread just by your typing style

The reason it won't take off is that it usually won't add much to gameplay but will limit design options. And it costs way too much.

I used to get bitched out here for not double-spacing. Now everyone types single-spaced. I just didn't know any better because have never been on leddit because refuse to sign up or have someone censoring me from saying "nigger."
Why do I do it? OCD, too used to writing shit for work that I can't do it any differently. Even knowing I should since everyone else here does it, just can't write without indenting because it's not proper grammar. Grammar OCD does have upsides. Perfect scores\ on SAT verbal.
tl;dr- I just can't fucking help it.

Wait a second, that spacing… You're that gyppo retard who bragged about his shit system, aren't you?

Same, but you gotta learn to be casual sometimes. Don't go full autist

I'll take the "retard" part since you don't like me because I take in more shekels than you, but curiously where does the "gypo" part come from? I enjoy a good insult as much as anyone else, but "gypo" doesn't make sense in any context. 2/10.

I'm not playing a game or looking for attention. My fucking OCD is so bad I just can't type without indenting. It may seem bizarre or insane if you've never experienced it, but there's not other way to explain it.

He is, he types the exact same way. I wonder when he'll start sperging out and complaining about his ex.

If I'm pathetic, think about you motherfuckers who actually are so jealous of my fucking sytem you remembered me. "bitch about my ex?" I can find thread, my exact words were "I have more shekels available for vidya now since I got rid of my ex-GF and not paying for the vaginal Jew anymore."
You give away fact that you've never had a piece of ass way to blatantly. I don't think either of you could get laid in a whorehouse with your dick sandwiched between a Visa and an American express.

kek, there goes the autistic gypsy.

...

Yes, you are indeed "chuckling" when you're actually crying on the inside at your failure in life.
Dude, my fucking gaming PC alone is worth $6k just in parts. Not counting Vive, speakers, 1,400 shekel monitor, etc.. Want me to list my specs? You go first and we compare.
>you busted your ass in uni, got into a t-3 law school and can afford things plebs like me cannot. Therefore, you are a "gypsy autist."

kek, nice specious reasoning. You can bitch and moan and moan and bitch on the cambodian fly-fishing forum forum. How will I ever get over it? By playing a VR Vive game on my 6k rig? The ultimate group of jealous douche bag losers who apparently migrated from cuckchan. We used to have actual cool discussions here and people who really knew their shit.
Then? Too much press due to Holla Forums, and every edgy little scumbag from leddit and cuck decided they'd come here and foul this nest. you can't "trigger" me retard. I've been doing this a lot longer with a lot smarter people capable of a lot more caustic insults. "gypo?"
come back when you get some pubes, ok? And take your posse of fellow cuckolds back to 9gag or whatever sewer from which you crawled. Thanks, best.

I knew you'd go full sperg, please keep going

They only said that about the N-Gage.
The N-Gage didn't work out too well.

...

...

I wasn't talking about consoles, people just thought cellphones in general were useless and didn't see the use of it and look where we are now, every normalfag out there does nothing but look at their smartphone all day.

Oh hey I've seen you in other threads, why do you type like that?

They didn't make a Ferrari or Porsche though, they made a Sinclair C5.

In other VR related good news, a reviewer tries his best to suck Mr Shitfaces dick but just can't pull it off as the product is too much of an overly inclusive piece of shit that prioritizes weak stomached faggots over gameplay. Enjoy.

>Playstation VR
As if that were anything more than a gimmick. Not enough processing power for passable performance.

...

This is the thing I hate the most. Just about anyone that tried any sort of VR says he generally liked the experience so there's definitely a market out there for VR.
What's not out there is a market where these things cost as much as they do.

For a fledging new niche in the market that needs every help it can to survive, they seem to have worked overtime to make sure it never lives.
All Occulus had to do was be released at 300$.
All the VIVE had to do was release at the same price as Occulus, 600$, and win because it was the better option, not go up to 800$.

In the end, we get this vicious cycle where the VR playerbase is very small because of the price.
And since it's so small, there's little profit to be made from selling games to them.
And since there's no profit, only shitty shovelware crap will be made for VR.
And since only shovelware exists for VR, nobody gets interest in it in long term.
Thus returning to little profit to be made.

I'm sure a lot of people were optimistic about the time when the technology is cheaper and they can finnally release Occulus Customer Version 3 or 4 at 300$ or 200$
But I don't think anyone considered the possibility that their company might go bankrupt before they reach that milestone.
Or that there won't be good games made for VR by then.

And to add insult to injury, we now live in a world where a Razer product, the OSVR, is actually cheaper and better than the competition. Truly the Berenstein universe.
At least that VR headset still focus on making regular games compatible with itself using an injector so it doesn't rely on crappy shovelware to sell itself.

Time for an e621 break.

I really do not understand what the fuck they were thinking.

Didn't expeit it so soon? Damn it was clear since the very beginning the hardware and software is just not there yet.

There won't be any good VR games in 10 years at least. If you want to pull off a gimmick you must be 100% certain you can actually fucking do it properly.

...

Lmaoing at your life

There's hardly any of her, most of it is okay at best.

I wonder if we can make a spherical screen cocoon and play games in 360 without the screen door effect or stumbling into stuff. It'll probably make a better sim experience than wearing googles with screens on them.

VR for all genres = Retarded
VR specific games = Short lived novelty
VR for simulators = The best simulator experience possible

It's fun watching all the retards that never understood VR's strengths and weaknesses celebrate and morn "the death of VR". The only reason I haven't got one get is the res is too low to read MFDs / gauges easily with first gen VR.

$60 is the industry standard for AAA games because that's what they see as a comfortable limit to pushing their jewry. Also remember, you're comparing an $800 toy + $60 + a good computer to just $60 and a computer.

It's been years since I've seen someone this genuinely insecure on an imageboard.

take note, RWS

This, really. VR has it's strengths and if games were made to cater to those, it would still have a chance.
Anything that involves driving like Mech games, racing games, space ship games, etc.
Fuck, even 5 Nights at Freddy would be a far superior choice than what's usually made for that shit.

>>>/reddit/

Marry me user.

Every time someone acts like this i can never tell if it's schizoanon back or a regular kind of retard.

l-lewd

...

What's up indent retard? How's the monitor?

Oh the autism. It's so good, it's so pure. How can one retard like this make me feel so happy about myself? Honestly this guy should be the new "well at least you're not…" meme.

now that's autism

...

eyetoy had to live for it to actually die

...

A better patch would be the one that would make it an actually good game. I don't think animal head the game would have gotten as much initial sales if they didn't try to bandwagon on the Playstation VR gimmick.

To play doubles advocate, didn't the kinekt die in less than 10 months?

Nigga. Get googly eyes.

(checked)
I have a rift and although the immersion is good shit, I wouldn't quite say it's THAT good. Though I've let friends try the tech demos and they get vertigo from some of them. What is immersive as fuck though is driving past someone in a racing game and flipping them off. It's so realistic, it really feels like someone's slapping you back! might have also been my roommate standing next to me, thinking I was flipping him off but still

WHY THE FUCK IS CAPATCHA FUCKING CASE SENSITIVE NOW REEEEEEE

I think you're making stuff up.

Why do you call females "the vaginal jew" and then try to pull the cat-string vagina defense?
Seems an odd thing to do.

it's a shame that greed looks to have killed VR. They needed to competitively price it, as well as give it a price point low enough for people to take a risk on it. Instead they said "fuck that" and made it an enthusiast gadget without it being proven.

Really disappointing.

VR was always going to be a quick lived fad, this isnt the first nor the second time tried tried to push it and every time it bombed.

Made me kek.

I bought a Vive with a 1080 gtx.
Some of us ==WANTS== and can afford it.
Deal with it.

He's not. People didn't though it was possible at all to have them "unchained" because of battery problems and that they didn't though it's size could be severely reduced.
To the average person back then, they actually pictured someone carrying a very large brick around and placing their face against it whenever they wanted to talk.

It was pretty much routine to find the nearest phone for important calls or just wait until you get to your house\office.
I mean, why would you want to call someone in the middle of the street, with the noise and the distractions around you (which is funny in retrospective)

It simply didn't seemed like a practical idea, especially because the concept of being a few buttons away from anyone you know wasn't really there yet either.

these mediums keep dying because of greed. not the medium's weakness.
if VR was just a universal input device that i could replace X/Y movement of a mouse or analog sticks and replace it with head movment, it'd be a pretty cool novelty. but instead companies have to lock it down and control when it's used.
just like 3D. instead of letting any 120hz TV use it they needed to release 3DTVs and blu ray players, which is completely unnecessary.
but if i could just choose 3D in bluray movie settings, put on glasses and watch 3D movies, it'd be a pretty cool novelty.

instead they get greedy, limit their own market, and kill the product they want to sell.

...

Don't forget about how some games were exclusive to specific VR headsets.

Why do people who have never used VR keep saying it's just headtracking to replace mouse movement? Limited imaginations or just no familiarity with what high-end VR is?

...

What's the difference between the two? What does "high-end" VR entail? Genuinely curious.

Like the Occulus fags that, on behalf of Face-"give me your wallet"-Book, were considering having DRM for it's own games.
As in, some games would be released as Occulus exclusive and if you tried to run them with any other VR headset, they'd flat out refuse.

They managed this whole market so badly, they were actually implementing hardware-dependant DRM.
Like having a game being exclusive to Asus Keyboards or something equally stupid.

I'd say it's just rationalization and "muh grapes" basically. If you downplay what you don't have, it's no big deal not having it. And you get the second best thing, seeing it burn instead.
It's pretty niggerish behaviour but then again… It's not like VR headsets are in a position they can fight off that criticism, even if its false.

Probably the feeling you get from the illusion it gives you. It's not just another monitor or another input device, it's what it makes you feel that makes it that amazing.

You know how, when you get very familiar with FPS games, the default WASD feels so smooth you can walk around very easily, associating movement with it?
I'd bet it's pretty much the same relating to looking around, not to mention abstracting yourself from your room or real environment and being 100% focused on what's virtually around you, especially with headphones.

I think VR is as shitty gimmick as much as the next guy, but the OP is kind of misleading. It's removing the requirement of VR, it's not taking it out of the game entirely

...

...

So VR exclusive games will become games with VR support?
Did developers realize you can view game in VR or on regular Monitor?
Amazing news.

...

I-I can learn senpai!
UR A FAGGOT
Exactly.

Porn will keep it alive thanks japan

...

VR is like flying cars. People keep expecting for years and years but neverever.

That just looks too cumbersome to be fun at all.

...

VR is awesome for games with a cockpit view. It's going to be a similar niche product like the driving wheel or joystick. Some simulator-pros used to buy like 5 monitors to create their dream battle station. Now all they need is a VR-set and a wheel/stick. Definitely not as useless as Kinect.

From someone who tried both VR headsets (PC. PS VR is a joke, no need to try that), I still have hope for the medium. The biggest problem right now is the price, shit is too expensive. Good content will likely arrive once a bigger market is available. HTC/Valve and Oculus should stop fucking around and step on the gas to release the next gen,

Ohshit he's back

Those were just old yokels

it did work though, there were a few games (mostly sports) that allowed you to scan your face and generate a player that way. it didnt work half the time, but if you were careful about it you could actually get decent results

...

That's like saying PC gaming is dead because you don't count any multi-platform as a PC title OP. Don't be fucking retarded.

pls be my boyfriend

I'll be your boyfriend, user.
Do you want me to be a top or bottom?

Wasn't the original "we're hitting autism levels that shouldn't even be possible"?

I'll be anyone's boyfriend.
I am incredibly lonely pls accept
I can cook, bake, I'm good at cleaning, and I will adore you with as much attention as you want

I guarantee most of the people who shit on VR have never tried it. It's overpriced right now and there's not many games worth playing in VR, but the idea itself is incredible. Sure it'll never replace TVs or monitors, but man I don't understand why people want it to fail so badly.

Can you please define "autist" and how you personally decide if someone is "autistic?" All you retards just repeat what started out here as having meaning (oh, and it was actually a semi-compliment most times) and now you just repeat to try to fit in with your fellow lemmings.
Defending one's position articulately now equates to "'Asperger's/autism?" Again, please explain. Be specific. And point to another poster in thread more articulate than I.
This is the part you pretend not to get: I truly and genuinely don't give a fuck, especially now that the 9gag posse has turned the place into trash. We used to have cool discussions on here and not just a bunch of jealous twats.
Maybe you need to spend your shekels on your HIV retrovirals. I work enough and worked hard enough in UG and Law School that I can afford such shit. Instead of being grateful someone else is acting as canary in coal mine and spending shekels while it's still basically in beta and coming back to report on it, all you type do is to moan and bitch since you can't afford it.
The internet began to suck in general when it became too accessible to the masses. Right now, VR (Vive in particular) is fun for oldfags who know how to code and enjoy exploring shit. It's like the net was pre-2005.
Instead of being such miserable cocksuckers, why would you not seek to ask questions and learn and decide what you want? Before I got my Vive, I was always anxious to find someone on here who had one to ask questions.
I don't "get" being an envious, malevolent little twat as you are. Place never used to be like that (at least never to this extent) unless the cunt was right from the start being a condescending asshole about it. I have been careful NOT to be so. And the best you type can do? "le sperg, le autist, etc.." Even your insults are unoriginal and boring.
You also make the mistake of thinking I give a fuck what you think. Also, have been indenting here since Hotwheels got it all up and Holla Forums began. No one ever noticed/gave a shit until literally past 4-5 days as you look for anything to bitch about re: my posts since you're jealous, malicious cunts.
Whenever you admit to having gotten any form of pussy or owning anything some others can't afford, you become a target for the 9gag rapefugees.
N.B.- I don't give a rat's ass what you think. I'm trying to converse on the topic of VR and hear from other people who have Vive and see what I can learn. I leave this site, laugh and go back to work or go play Vidya or code. To quote Guns n' Roses: "As for you, well you can suck my ass.."
Grow the fuck up.

It was completely told.

VR is just an extra feature. It doesn't revolutionize gaming more than motion controls or 3d visuals.

The sad truth is. The best and easier way to control games was made years ago and it's the controller.

VR isn't much different than having the screen right on your face.

The only way it would be easy to control , easy to play would be just becoming part of the virtual world and controlling the game, i don't know, with your mind, kinda like how people navigate in Serial Experiments Lain. And that's something that will hardly happen in the next decades. Maybe some day. But i doubt it will be soon

Well. There is one good use for VR.

Porn. That's the only thing i see may be viable. mostly because it doesn't rely much on controls, but just visuals. And that's what VR mostly is, visuals.

Man that looks fun as hell, even though it's so clunky.

How feminine is your penis? This is very important.

I think that's the point. VR is such a gimmick it's more profitable to sell the games with the option of not using it at all.

...

How is this defined?

Right now VR headsets are so expensive, most people just aren't convinced they're worth the investment. and a lot of fags on Holla Forums don't like it cuz they can't pirate a headset

Devs didn't embrace it because people didn't. Kinda like a social media platform, there's some critical mass it has to reach so devs make things for it so enough people buy it so devs make things for a bigger market so people buy it for the library and so on.

I was pretty hyped for VR in 2013.
All that was gone in 2016.
There was a window of opportunity and that passed - with mediocre locked-down products.

Well, thanks for reminding me about VR usage in waifu fucking. Those crazy nips won't let it die off like kinect then.

Does it look like the kind of penis a girl would have?

Women do not have penises, user.
I am sorry to alert you to this fact.

Where do I even go to aquire lewd miku vr games

It's amazing to think how long VR has been out there and they still couldn't make it affordable. All VR is, is a screen with two special lenses in front of it

Watching Eurocucks shoot guns is annoying as hell

But it isn't. There's also the motion tracking with the headset, plus some sort of handheld devices for interacting with the virtual world. Plus the build in headphones or whatever.

t. autist

Oculus was alright until the jews bought it, but that faggot Brendan Iribe and the other slick salesman smiley guy meant trouble from the get-go.

It goes to show that it's possible to be intelligent in one way, i.e tinkering with tech, and then be a complete retard in other ways i.e selling it to the jews and thinking anything good will come from it.

The salt from Oculus having to pay Zenimax for stealing concepts is delicious. I hope the whole company goes to shit.

OSVR is good, but it's too small and insignificant to ever take off.

Vive is too autistic for the average consumer in that you have to set up those fucking camera things in the corners and need a whole room to move around in. normalfags will never go through the trouble.

Like some said, i think VR will be good just for simulation games and 360 videos. For everything else we will probably will have to wait until you can actually plug your brain in it.

One step closer to Linux VR.

...

There are a lot of VR games that shouldn't have been released VR only. There are a few titles like Onward that just wouldn't work without VR roomscale, but with everything else you're just limiting audience.

You don't need a whole room for the Vive. If you want to do room scale the minimum space is 2mx2m. But you can also just use it seated/standing.
And the lighthouses are easy to set up. Just put them on a bookshelf and plug them into the wall.

I doubt any video game funding was diverted to VR.

which is all cheap shit, it is essentially just a screen with two lenses in front of it

It's one or two screens with quite uncommon characteristics. Fast screens are niche items, so economies of scale work against VR now, making it a lot more expensive than it needs to be. The same is true in reverse: If VR takes off big time, fast screens will become a lot more common and therefore cheaper. So even if you don't care about VR you should be hoping for its success.

How the fuck am I going to get a Japanese gf now, I was fucking praying VR was going to be it and in 20 years it would be like the matrix and I could live in a virtual world

this is my first firsthand exposure to indent retard user, and he does not disappoint.

because most western developers now are all lazy fucking faggots

This. I have a friend who fell for the Playstation VR meme. I had a blast when the damn thing wasn't drifting. I can see VR + motion controls being amazing for simulation and rail games. I would've fell for the Playstation VR meme too if it wasn't so freaking expensive and there were more proper sims/rails for it.

the only VR plattform that will succeed is the one that will openly embrace porno

...

To make a triple A videogame nowadays requires hundreds of people and at least a 50 million budget. This is why there are no triple A VR games.

Resident Evil 7 exists user. You may question its quality, you may try to delegitimize the platform it's available on but that doesn't change the fact that it
1.: is without doubt a AAA scale game and
2.: has native VR support.

Granted, it's the only AAA VR game up to now but others will follow.

The major impediment to decent VR games really seems to be that you need games where it could be nice to enjoy VR as a side benefit rather than the only benefit.

As it is, most games don't even make it appealing to play first versus third person and you don't really have a lot of games made that are just pleasant escapist games where you just spend your time in some world. You'd need more games where you just dawdle around for extremely long periods of time like Minecraft so that it could seem decent cost-wise to get into the VR equipment if only to play a couple games, similar to what happens with a lot of MMOs that get people to buy a decent PC to purely play the one game.

VR was as much of a meme as 3D TVs. I'm kind of interested in trying VR, but there is no way I'd buy it until it hits the $100-200 range. Even then I'd be hesitant. It's just a fucking gimmick.

which even the sega genesis/SNES VR had

can someone explain to me why there isn't a streaming for smartphones.
most phones are already pretty well equipped to handle basic directions, and just streaming it from a real PC would allow you to play actual games. would the time lag from and to the telephone fuck this idea up?

Post yfw you bought into the VR meme.

I want to laugh at you

You need at least 90 fps for good VR. Most phone screens are 60Hz. Additionally, the time lag would be significant and disorienting. You'd need something like the TPCAST for it to work well.
What you are describing can already be done with Google Cardboard, but it doesn't work very well. I tried it with Elite Dangerous and it was pretty much unplayable.

Lag is a huge problem but a working version where it's barely noticeable is actually in the works right now. There are PC-to-phone VR streaming programs already but they suck.

okay user, you didn't have to write anything past this. we now you're lying

Remember all the "VR isn't a gimmick" shills?

>>>/vir/

this is some impressive autism

Me? I'm waiting for VR sex games.

I like making fun of autists as much as the next guy, but this guy legit scares me.

The biggest problem with VR is the price. Just about everyone I knew who was interested in VR immediately turned off as soon as pricing was announced, because we'd all imagined it would cost half as much as it did. High pixel density 90hz displays are probably costly to make, but I'm sure companies as rich as fucking Facebook and Valve could suffer a loss for the first generation. The Oculus Rift costs £500 in the UK and that's without the controllers. That's far, far too much for what is essentially a toy.

The other mistake I think they made was overlooking porn. Leading up to their release, every time you saw a VR headset mentioned someone would always say "IMAGINE THE PORN", sort of half jokingly. VR is manchild bait - as close as you can get to completely escaping the real world. If VR companies had poured money into making and advertising high quality immersive porn games, I think a great number of their potential audience would be more willing to overlook the high price.

You still look retarded using a cellphone. It's just too indispensable for anyone to care.

There is. Look up RiftCat. I don't know how well it works.

...

How is the weather in Redmond, Bill?

I wonder if Holla Forums will look more favorably on VR and/or Todd if he manages to kill Zuckerbergs influence.

Because instead of making it more cross compatible, everyone wants to wall themselves off in their own little faggoty proprietary garden and try to dominate the market instead of realizing the market's not big enough for that kind of shit and just focus on growing VR instead. Why can't I use oculus on ps4? Why can't I use PSVR on PC? It's just dumb.

You can use the PSVR on PC.

Wow, you're telling me they're not going to force you to buy an expensive piece of additional hardware?

Damn OP, you sure are a genius!

Through workarounds or 3rd party software. When it should be a feature Sony shouts from the rooftops.

True, but its the same with the DS4. Sony makes most of their money through software, so advertising that it works with PC probably isn't the best business practice for them.
I have more of a problem with the Facebook exclusive games. Thankfully, there is revive. Still not purchasing anything through the Oculus store and giving Facebook money, though.

if i could use that shit on PC i would have bough it day one for all of the porn. there will never be porn on the PS4.

this right here.
I hate seeing video related being shown as what VR can do while simulators are left in the dust.

EvE Valkyrie was the best attempt at VR.
All the other developers are pants on head retarded for trying to fit VR into games that are better played on a screen

Eve Valkyrie sucked ass. $20 game tops, but they're still asking $60 for that shit. Onward is $25 and Elite Dangerous is $30, and both are much better games.
