It is amazing, I already tried it.

But I will wait until it is a bit more developed, less expensive and especially more useful content.

I am generally very disappointed with the games existing already for normal computers, they all bore me with regards to quality and gameplay (not even speaking of the SJW influence).

it's just a meme, like flying cars

It will always fail. It's a meme.

Everyone is eternally waiting until it's a bit more developed, a bit less expensive, and a bit better content.

It is forever 10 years away.

Why? It's very simple.

Reality will always be better than Virtual Reality. VR can not compete with the breath of God. It can not compete with life.

no games afaik, I have hardware for it,not tempted yet

cost

my pc is totally ready or VR but I can't justify the 800$ price tag
hoping they come down so I can get one eventually

>Flying cars are just a meme
Take a load of this Spic

Those cardboard crap that you insert your phone are not VR.
Try the proper VR headsets with decent content. They are pretty good, they'll be better with reduced price + more content.

3D tv

Wait a few years and get VR from Valve, they are big guys.

It is more of a novelty. Not trying to sound like a lazy fuck but when I am tired from work I really don't want to move around my room killing virtual waifus and niggers I just rather sit in front of a monitor with a keyboard and mouse.

...

You say that, but Elite Dangerous is fucking amazing.

Watch the community episode where dean uses virtual reality to interface with his computer. There you will find your answer.

Meager amounts of really good content
Shit resolution
Bulky headsets

3D content will most likely eventually be the way of things but they keep trying to push it before the tech is really there

VR such as the Vive is great, but the limitations in movement are the bottleneck. You can currently "teleport" forward, but it's not the same as walking. It's great for story telling games right now and things like that, but people want to use it for shooters and that just isn't practical.

Where is Half-Life 3? REEEEEEEEEEEEE

>Reality will always be better than Virtual Reality. VR can not compete with the breath of God. It can not compete with life.

VR video games, 360° movies, Google Street View, architecture, exergaming, training/simulation (driving lessons), education, VR communication/chatting...

There are many, many useful applications.

Cost of entry, no operating system that promotes business development, clunky head set, no googly eyes, no forward facing camera so you can see outside of your headset and peripheral vision.

Lots of the reason why 3d TVs failed, no real application past the "Oh that's cool" 10 minutes of use.

it hasnt failed but it is expensive as fuck, there is little to no simple customization, is not precise and it has no games just like the PS4

>Why did VR fail? isn't that what everyone has wanted since the beginning of time

Cost too high

Cheapest VR is Sony's which is $400 and you need the console, the console has gone on sale for $250

Best would probably Oculus/Vive and those are $600, not including a pretty decent $600 PC minimum you'll need to use the Oculus Rift/Vive

Bring down the prices and more people will buy them

Ive thought about it. I considered it would be awesome for multiplayer first person shooters, using a camera to display your surroundings and overlaying the game sprites... But why not just go play paintball.

Same with racing games, just go race go carts. Like said. Reality trumps digital.

> It's great for story telling games right now and things like that, but people want to use it for shooters and that just isn't practical.

Oh, how wrong can someone be?

VR is old tech. I'm waiting for that hologram tech.

>You will never be in a auditorium filled with people wearing VR headsets so you can take your dick out and cum over everyone's head so they can feel the realistic roller coaster POV soaking experience and finally proceed to poop a slimy piece of shit in front of everyone without being seen because they wearing headsets.

Worst timeline

>taping a screen to your face with motion sensors qualifies as "VR"

It failed because its not more what it claims to be than the "hover boards" that came out.

Email me when they get to brain interfacing.

The number mentioned is forbidden.

People can barely drive on the ground. Do you really want their dumb asses in the air?

Studying to be a medfag atm. Looking forward to VR surgery simulations. This will be a truly groundbreaking usage of this technology although a dead cold old guy will still be the go to option for many years even though they aren't the best option due to them being umm.... Dead and having nearly no bodily fluids.

>But why not just go play paintball.
I like paintball, even more airsoft.

But VR shooters would allow you much more - such as shooting through walls, using explosives, driving tanks, flying helicopters, using a parachute...

>isn't that what everyone has wanted since the beginning of time

No it's just what a bunch of sci fi hacks predicted would happen so tech companies tried to cash in on the already existent marketing.

Just getting started actually.

If they have a strict license for it, then yes.

its clunky and weird/awkward to use

>Why did VR fail?
Shit costs a ton. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I had the money, but it seems like a waste of cash.

Already here.

>£700 to buy a monitor and a couple of sensors strapped to your face/eyes
>£1000 PC required by default
>Need to buy games on top of this.
>most developers realise not even f2p games are feasible on a £1700 system.

anyone who thought this would be anywhere near successful needs to kinda, i dunno, read about economic barriers and supply and demand.

anyway, fuck off

>Why did VR fail?
nope. it's functioning just as designed to

"virtual reality" is still just a parlor trick at the moment.

Get a google phone with daydream for under 600 bucks boom you have VR capabilities.

Valve has probably finished it and realize they can just wait until they need money to release it.

Then the normies will say "i wanna fly too," driving tests will be easy as pie, and they'll be smashing into rooftops

induces nausea
there is nothing syncs speed from turning head to the video turning so you're inner ear gets screwed up.

...

>Reality will always be better than Virtual Reality.

I bet you've touched the 3DPD. Heretic.

>VR such as the Vive is great, but the limitations in movement are the bottleneck.

There are solutions for that but is costly.

My paintball buds and i do use explosives tho

Yes, I have already read about VR surgery simulations, they are definitely being developed. This gives a lot of options, even doing a practice surgery customised to the person who is going to be operated.

It hasn't failed, but it's too expensive. $800 for a niche thing that will be outdated in 2 years is something only YouTubers/streamers and idiots would buy.

its like saying DVD failed because not every single person ran out to buy one when they were first developed

VR will not only become cheaper but better.
Needless to say our childrens children will take it for granted. If they dont its because they dont recognize it as its already been replaced by a newer technology .

Allahu akbar

Meanwhile on 1975 Sup Forums:

Why did mobile telephones fail to take off? I thought people would love to have a phone with them to contact whoever.

Just keep the standards high, if they want to fly than they need to pass the test.

Women are being made obsolete not by years but months. Soon everyone will be jerking off other screens strapped to their face like in a dystopian future.

>This is VR, not that crap

VR didn't fail.

And it's not expensive.

If you already have a Samsung Galaxy s6 or s7, you can strap your phone into a $79 Gear VR headset and there you have it.

VR is pretty damn cool, from my experience. The air combat games especially.

GTX 1060 gpus cost under 300 bucks and are VR capable, you can build a rig for under 1k and be good on any upgrades for 3 years.

We've had enough screen shit and now find the real world better? Idk goys maybe we juss too woke

The only part that really bothers me about this however

Its shitty vr right now. And it hasnt failed I check out vr porn now and then.

VR didn't fail, I have a vive and I play that shit everyday

Expensive
No good games to justify its expense

People bought a PS4 JUST to play Bloodborne, to the point it's called a "bloodborne machine". Many don't regret it.

If they would put out just ONE good game for VR people would flock. The stupid fucks developing games for it right now keep trying to focus on "oh you have to be able to move and analog sticks won't work because muh immersion" I guarantee 90% of the people who play wouldn't give a shit about hand movement for immersion.

running around in a square sux

Posting a link without thinking it through is rather foolish. Everyone knows about the Omni. We also know it costs a lot, on top of the price of the VR headset, the computer components to power the VR and of course the games. Only a small fraction of gamers would have all of that.

The Omni is a solution not everyone is going to afford. Therefore, movement is still your biggest bottleneck.

It hasn't failed yet, it's just there's not enough interesting games out that utilize it, so at the moment it's kinda gimicky. I think if they just stuck with a regular controller or key board/mouse (for PC guys) and treated the VR as a new kind of display with head tracking, it's be far more popular.

The technology is still a bit too young to be practical. Give it another 20 years.

>yuri is master.jpg

Lol it's only just getting started, the future potential is fucking ridiculous you are a fool if you think it has failed. If you haven't tried it, I can understand you thinking this way, if you have tried it, well hopefully the archive will still exist in a few years so you can see just how fucking wrong you were.

dude putting a phone in a hat isnt VR

Has to have room scale and motion controllers to be VR

Samsung VR is just a different way to look at the screen

Wayyyy less than that.

Virtual reality is to escape true reality.

Trump won.

Can't imagine another reality I'd rather be in.

It's the Future

Too costly and difficult to set up for 99% of people. Normies just want something free and quick that they can play on their phone while they're on the bus, not an $800 pair of goggles that only offers "immersive experiences".

Lucky burgers with cheap electronics... Shit in Europe costs from 1,5 to 2 times more! Your 1k will only buy a budget rig that only goes up to 1080p on medium to high settings and no VR or other fancy stuff.

According to who?

If you're playing a driving game or a flight game, you don't need motion control; you just need a standard controller.

Is it perfect? Of course not, but it's pretty damn good and it's also pretty damn cheap.

>Why did VR fail?
VR hasn't failed at all. The market expectations were just set too high.

When the headsets get cheaper, and more must-have games are released, adoption will begin to accelerate. Spending $800 to play indie games is not something the average consumer can justify. I would guess that there will be over 10 million PC/console headsets sold by 2019.

>his paintball buds don't use real guns and light artillery
>he doesn't pick off his paintball buds with a .338 paintball slinger from 800 meters
I can tell you're a loser from your post.

It gives people headaches and nausea
If I wanted to feel like a woman I'd take tranny meds, and then I'd have my own tits in glorious 3D

Not to mention, VR porn is the biggest advance in the industry since the invention of the VCR.

It is not to be believed.

This isn't true as there is a distinction on the utilized inset environment because environment itself isn't set in reality. It's considered VR because its real time/rendered environment It's only not really VR when its filmed because its just stitched video.

No enough good games worth the purchase of a VR set, they're mostly novelty tech-demos.

On the top of my head the only good game with VR support is RE-VII, not really worth 600€ just for ONE game in my opinion.

Also it hasn't developed to the point where it provides sensation. Once you can put on a suit and experience sensations that are entirely alien to your life, it'll develop, but probably as some sort of psychotherapy or medical treatment.

>he fell for the google cardboard meme

I think the practical application of VR is augmented reality. Companies keep trying to make entire VR worlds, and that's what makes people nauseous. They need to focus more on VR that can render virtual objects overlayed on the real world.

Because ITS NOT FUCKING VR. ITS A FUCKING SCREEN STRAPPED TO THE FRONT OF YOUR FACE. ITS A SHITTY GIMMICK

pic related is what people want, full immersive VR, basically a whole new reality

>It is amazing, I already tried it.

The experience is good when you are inside the helmet.

I played it at a friend's house, not some demo somewhere trying to sell you the cool new technology.

Once set up it was a giant mess of wires, the helmet got annoying after a while, then when your done you gotta put that mess of cables and hardware away again.

If it gets far enough to be wireless it'll make the experience a bit easier but then you have yet another thing to charge all the fucking time.

Vive to me sounds like it would be the ideal VR experience, but who really has the money and physical space to own it?

It'll probably fail, not because it's bad but because there are so many different companies entering the market and doing their own thing rather than have an industry standard ensuring ever user has a chance to enjoy it.

You have the full on VR experience like psvr, occulous rift, and Vive.

Then there's partials like Google daydream or Samsung VR that not only require specific helmets but also only work with a select handful phones as well.

Then you have those shitty $20 "VR helmets" that you can supposedly drop any old phone in and your magically in vr somehow.

I require sauce on this fire goddess.

>driving my leopard 2 into the local lasertag course
>other team brought artillery support

HTC Vive will have Half-Life 3/Source 2 Game based off Portal/Half-Life Universe

its just a little expensive right now. everyone i talk to thats used it says the Vive is the best one with the floating air mouse

It's ghetto as hell. A 10 pound headset and shitty controllers, it isn't any more advance than a Wii with a TV strapped onto your face. True VR should give your body freedom not limit it.

its not the same, you're just playing a game on a screen, you can't interact with objects

Asuka Soryu Langley

That's not true though, the 1060 is VR capable at that price point and runs steady so your assertion isn't accurate for the most part. Vive , Oculus and others have frame caps at 90fps so your rig will only do so much anyways.

What if
now follow me on this
hey guys
what if

BUT
WHAT IF
