@darthbuzzard: I have tried RE7 in VR. Like I said earlier it was cool for about 10 minutes but I just prefer playing my games in the more ‘traditional’ way so to speak.

If it's because of the headset itself, then that will be largely mitigated once it gets a lot smaller like so:

@darthbuzzard: Yeah I know you can use a regular controller but I’d rather just play my games on both a flat screen tv and a regular controller.

Cool, but get back to me once you've experienced Hellblade, RE7, Wipeout, Tetris Effect, Alien Isolation, and Thumper in VR, then we'll see which you prefer.

Yep. Lets yawn at literally the highest rated game of 2019. That's hilarious. Can't wait until Half Life VR releases and gets scored even higher. What you gonna say then?

Yeah highest rated with a massive 6 reviewers with the top being from a VR site that needs it to succeed otherwise they won't lol.

You apparently didn't take a look at their review record because they've never given a 10/10 before, ever. Their previous highest was 9/10 and that wasn't handed out frequently either.

Meh. VR just isn’t my thing. I’ve tried it and found it to be fun for like 10 minutes or so but at the end of the day I just want to play my games on a flat screen tv with a controller in my hands.

You could just play VR games with a controller, you know? Astro Bot, Hellblade, Moss and so on.

All VR games score vomit/10 for me.

That would make you a tiny minority then dude, because the vast majority of people out there don't have issues with all games. Most people can play Beat Saber just fine because there isn't a movement disconnect.

Astro Bot needs to come back. It's the only 3D platforming rival Mario has at the moment.

Ratchet and Clank would be great too.

Yeah, I want some platformers Sony.

VR sucks.. just like I said 5 years ago. I had a buddy buy me a PS version because he wanted me to play some shooter with him he said was tactical (forget the name) and it was absolutely terrible... The idea is cool and all but it is STILL many years from being an enjoyable experience for me. Crap games, crap technology, and sub par tracking and functionality, not to mention headaches, sweating, and lens fog.

Maybe it's just ps vr that sucks.. I mean it would be cool to play a game that interests me and doesn't blow... honestly it feels like all the games are on the same level as shovelware for the Wii. That's just me though. Maybe the new Medal of Honor game they are working on could change my mind... doubtful, but maybe. That said, it pisses me off they aren't just making a new MoH for consoles and chose that route instead.

So you played some mediocre title and think you're an expert now? What a joke. Why don't you actually play some good games instead of pretending that the entire library is somehow exactly the same as this one shooter you played.

If the games were so crap, they wouldn't be winning GOTY awards. Astro Bot was better received than almost all the 2018 games released.

No... I played many games on it including Astro Bot which was also crap in my opinion... and since they all suck (to me), something has to win... it's not like something isn't going to win.. lol. Even if you have nothing but rotten apples one has to win if they are competing against each other. The only game I played that was even half way decent was the VR portion of Ace Combat, but it didn't even have full functionality and you couldn't even play online... so what's the point? Either go all in or don't go in at all.

Like I've said many times, I feel that there are some good ideas, but they just don't have the technology yet to back it. I personally feel that with where we are RIGHT NOW that it just isn't ready. I mean it's cool some people like the gimmick, horrible detection, horrible frame rate, nauseating jitter and stutter, horrible collision issues, inconsistent play, and all that good stuff... I don't. Once they get some things ironed out and find a better technology in which to actually view the material without being heavy, hot, and clunky I'll give it another try. As it is right now though with 47 cables, inconsistent frame rates and usability. I just don't feel as though it's a good experience for any "on the fence"... sure it's great for the die hards that are blown away by the idea, but simply meh or not ready yet for those that aren't easily impressed or aren't all that interested by the idea.

Don't get me wrong, the tech behind it is impressive... I just don't feel with where we are RIGHT NOW that it is ready for mainstream. Once they can deliver VR without a ton of cables, being heavy and bulky, causing you to sweat and fog up the screen, and they actually give you a true 360 degree experience I'll wait it out. I did hear about some new VR that gives you no wires... can't remember what it was, but that sounds cool. I feel like VR is in the Model T stages and still has a long way to go to give a good experience.

However, I'm happy you like it and that it found a market for people just like you, that's great for you guys. for me however it's a joke, and it isn't even a funny one. I feel the games are incomplete, short on features, short in length, and very shallow (which is why I compared them to Wii games ((and not good ones either)). To each their own though. I mean obviously someone likes it... and it probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I look forward to forward progress, but it has a LONG way to go before they ever see another penny from me.

Oh and by the way, I never claimed to be an expert... whatever the hell that is even supposed to mean.. lol. How can you be an expert of VR? It's not like it's a single game or anything. That would be like someone saying they are a master of PS4 or Xbox without details. You hook up the 56 cables, calibrate it, and put it on your head... lol. Masterfully at that. :P

So basically you are the 1% of the 1% as people in an extreme majority love it and love Astro Bot. It also sounds like you play with your camera backwards because you're not supposed to have framerate or tracking issues to the degree you describe, and when all is said and done you could be using PC VR to alleviate any of those issues, even going up to 144Hz with a Valve Index.

VR will never be mainstream. just like 3d or any other gimmick.

just look at that big ass thing strapped to your head!

this is a SIDE product that will live alongside regular gaming but will never replace it.

How the hell did you manage to miss the image I posted that shows a MUCH smaller headset design, one that doesn't even cause headaches or eye strain, one that would be easier on the eyes than any TV, phone, or monitor.

This will be a laughable comment to look back on as the 2020s progress. The potential of VR is far too profoundly big for it to be anything other than mainstream, and so it will happen.

@darthbuzzard: That's a cute dream and almost the same thing I've been hearing all the way back since the 80s about VR lol.

Just because you heard it once before doesn't mean it's not going to happen. We also heard about how useful AI was going to be back in the 90s and neural networks are now commonplace and doing some black magic.

Hardware platforms simply take a long time to flourish.
