shyt is corny.

shyt is just an irritation to use and the technology is lame

I have all 3 VR headsets (PSVR, VIve, OR), and I haven't played either of them in weeks. Did VR flop?

The graphics have a screen door effect. There are no killer apps (in fact the highest rated VR game is a port [Rez]). Did this shyt flop brehs?

It makes me sad to say it, but it might just be a fad or a gimmick. What do you all say?

​

I always scratch my head when I see people going on about VR like it's something new They had this push multiple times throughout the gaming generations, working head sets / head tracking and all ...and each time it's failed. Now that's not to say a good push can't be made now but the proplem has always been matching the games with the hardware. Every time this has come there was always shytty games that accompanied it. Hell I played a couple VR games at the mall back in the 90's

As a matter a fact this is the one I played...

Even PC gamers back in the day couldn't be bothered with it....

This has more to do with firms not wanting to be beat to market or fall to far behind the loop if a technology hits. like 3D TV or google glass they will leave en-mass if "they" deem it flops. With that said I definitely believe in the tech & concept. That's actually why I went to school for software engineering was ideas around that tech.

But I don't see anything that pulls me... except one.​

While everybody else is looking to "follow the market" it looks like Mark .Z has further reaching planes. I.E. the VR push for him seems to be a means to an end
If the whole VR thing flops again he'd still have his people in the lab. For him VR is a puzzle piece to something bigger.


Thats my take anyway

idk about PSVR, but with the Vive it's better to have it low like in that picture. otherwise it gets slightly out of focus if you tilt your head down

It's too early to call it a flop.

Also, one of the biggest factors limiting the success of VR is the difficulty of demoing it. It's impossible to appreciate how good the tech is without actually using the headset yourself. It's no surprise that many would scoff at the idea of dropping $399 for something that's unproven to them. I've mentioned this before, but I had completely written VR off and was not going to buy it until I tried it at a friends house. My VR disposition did a 180 that day, and I've heard nothing but positive impressions from the family and friends that have tried my PSVR. Word of mouth will make this thing go far...

Yep. No way I'm paying that much for it without trying it first, if it was super low on offer like during black Friday or some shyt then I'd probably just buy for shyts and giggles. But no way in hell without trying it first

The problem is people have no idea what they're getting. Is it good? Bad? Does it make them throw up? Is it better than looking at a TV? Will I get bored? Too many unanswered questions so like you said, it's gonna struggle to become huge and mainstream because of that

Statistically speaking, its already dead. The games are short, the graphics blow, and its too expensive for the average gamer.

We all knew it was a fad. I have a friend who owns it, trying real hard to sell how "its an experience you need to feel"...like I haven't tried every 3D/VR headset since Virtual Boy. You can't fix stupid....and fanaticism.

Its really not that heavy and pretty cool, just a lack of apps/games to make it dope

If the games wasn't short it would be GOAT
