@lionheartssj1: Or The Burbs and Three Amigos. I almost feel like the next article is going to films you completely forgot from the 80s. 1. Back to the Future 2. Ghostbusters.

@jyml8582: I heard from a friend in publishing, that the book is to be titled, 'Ego! How mine grew to be as big as a planet!'

@lasagnasmoothie: The Virtual Reality Society feel differently, (https://www.vrs.org.uk/virtual-reality/history.html) but whatever.

In this article they even acknowledge the Virtual Boy as courageous and pioneering efforts, in the final paragraph: https://www.vrs.org.uk/unreleased-sega-vr-headset-much-effort-squandered/

When I said the Virtual Boy caused the cancellation, I meant the Saturn version. The Saturn was released in late 1994, and I have no doubt in my mind Sega waited on the Virtual Boy reception before they decided not to release Sega VR for the Saturn. Which is probably a shame as far as VR goes, because I think Virtua Cop in VR would have been fantastic.

I see it as a clear case of 'If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.'

@blueberry_bandit: Sega VR did make it to the market, it was released in arcades. It was because of the failure of Virtual Boy Sega canceled the home release planned for the Mega Drive and Sega Saturn.

Just because Virtual Boy didn't have tracking doesn't mean that it wasn't the first step. There was no need for head tracking on a system which relied on mostly 2D side scrolling. I guess if we take this line of thinking Race Horse is not the first movie ever filmed. As it was filmed using multiple photographic cameras, setup in a line (a trick later used for The Matrix). Because it wasn't filmed with a motion picture camera, it not a film.

Regardless of whether they made it to the consumer level doesn't matter, the first generation of computers were not consumer products. The internet was not a consumer product at first. So regardless large companies were involved in VR long before the recent releases.

@blueberry_bandit: The Virtual Boy was codenamed VR32, and allow you to play in stereoscopic 3D. If that isn't VR I don't know what is.

I was wrong about Commodore. I thought Virtuality VR was created by Commodore as it was demoed Commodore Amigas. But after a little research, it wasn't Commodore who made it, but rather a Virtuality Group supported by IBM. Can't say I've ever heard of IBM, so they must be the smallish company you were talking about. Or maybe it was Sega, who made Sega VR.

@blueberry_bandit: Smallish companies like Nintendo and Commodore??

Damn I thought it was only Nolan fanboys who play the 'you're too dumb' card. Now the studio behind their work have got in on the act. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, it's probably not a good idea to insult your fanbase. What if it's a case of you're not every good at telling a clear, coherent and concise story?

@watercrack445: She does look as if she could play an older version of Camren Bicondova. Who I think they cast purely because she looks like a young Michelle Pfeiffer.

I doubt it makes that sort of money. James Dean's Red jacket from Rebel without a Cause jacket was valued at $400,000 to $600,000 and failed to meet the reserve. Yet that jacket ranked second on Esquire's list of 'The 12 Most Iconic Jackets in Movie History'. Yes that was a real article that TWO people were paid to write.

@Dragon_Nexus: Disney kind of did have a hand in making Deadpool. One of the productions companies on the film is Marvel Entertainment, which is wholly owned by Disney. While Disney isn't involved in the films by name, a subsidiary of their corporation is involved.

You also have the fact that Disney have distributed Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill Vol 1-2, when they owned Miramax. Which is the exact same situation as Guardians of the Galaxy. But, 'Won't someone please think of the children!'
