Haven't tried VR yet, but want to!

I have. Wasn't that impressed. It would take insane processing power and expensive screens to get resolutions that don't look overly pixelated a half inch from your eyeballs. Put your face right up to your monitor. Four inches from it. That's sort of what VR resolution looks like. Kind of shit. I think the one I tried was 1080p. I prefer a third person view in most games anyway.

3rd person works well with VR. Arguably it's the best way to experience 3rd person games that focus on story or immersion.

The resolution of VR is low, yes, but there are games that counteract this with the right shaders and art style. It won't bother you in Beat Saber or SuperHot for example.

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.

People have no idea how much VR is advancing behind the scenes.

These are real prototype headsets:

The one on the right is much smaller, like ski goggles, and has a wider field of view than most current VR headsets and doesn't cause any eyestrains or headaches, and could be configured to replace glasses by dialing in your prescription.

Avatars are getting crazy realistic:

Small form factor haptic gloves are being worked on: https://uploadvr.com/facebook-vr-glove-patents/

Obviously this is all 5-10 years away from consumers but once we get there the shift will be enormous.

I think its adorable that people are still holding on to VR, its time has come and gone but keep wishing.

It will be the core focus of gaming in 15-20 years, inevitably. Nothing can stop this because by that point it will be acting as the primary personal device for people in the same way smartphones are today. The games and technology will be so advanced that anything not in VR will look like an ATARI game does to us today.

That doesn't mean non-VR games are going to go away, they will just become a niche side activity that a lot of people will choose to play in VR on virtual screens.

Finger tracking is very nice from a technological point of view, but frankly this is not what vr needs today, what it needs is more games, I've been waiting like almost a year for borderlands 2 to finally come to pc because there are hardly any full fledged vr games, if you look past fitness and multiplayer games anyway, allthough the latter is not something as fleshed out like cod for instance.

Don't get me wrong, I still have great fun with skyrim vr and fallout 4 vr and borderlands 2 will be a nice breath of fresh air but this is still only the thrid port we are getting, this while there are hundreds of games that could be ported quite easily.

I did hear that oculus is going to push for more ports (assassins creed for instance), and I really hope they are right, and what even would be better is that new games come with standard vr support because frankly I can't be asked to still play first person games on a tv anymore.

Oculus announced a 10-12 hour AAA singleplayer Medal of Honor game with multiplayer as well. They have Stormland, an open world AAA game with lots of replayability and Asgard's Wrath, a 40+ hour AAA RPG, and we have a Wasteland VR game that leaked a while back, and of course we have Valve's new Half Life game and the other 2 AAA Valve VR games on the way.

At the beginning of the generation: Solid AAA VR titles, some of which latch onto full physical systems for gameplay.

In the middle of the generation: The standardization of wireless high resolution VR hardware with much better comfort.

At the end of the generation: VR hardware that closely resembles the technology from Ready Player One.

Also: PlayStation Home VR on PS5, Xbox Scarlett VR support, Kojima makes a VR game, Cyberpunk 2077 VR support.

Also better AI and physics in general.

@crabj: Anyone who thinks Bioshock is better than System Shock 2 is a silly person imo.

System Shock 2 has some serious flaws though. For one the gameplay is very unbalanced as you can get spawn-killed by enemies outside the spawn chamber.

It has not aged well. Bioshock has definitely aged better, though in fairness that's more due to it being a much more recent game in comparison.

I lost. I concede.

However... that doesn't mean this isn't going to happen. It will happen just non Valve's own terms because their marketing is really bizzare. We're still close to a reveal.

That doesn't even count every promising or otherwise big FPS releasing this fall. You forgot Boneworks, Respawn's new IP (unless it's delayed), and Half Life VR.

Out of all the revealed games including the 3 in this topic, Boneworks looks the most promising so far.
