I can't actually disagree with this.
It's already expensive enough to buy a PC good enough to run the VR games, and paying other 500$ for a Vive feels like a waste since it's likely you won't even be using the headset that much.
Same applies for the PSVR, you already have a console and the VR games for it are pretty boring or there are very few (or the online is dead).
And phone VR is a meme, I have a phone VR headset and I got bored in less than 1 hour since the games are the same over and over.

VR would be dead even if they handed it out for free lol

It makes people sick and gives them extreme headaches, it's worse than AIDS

>retarded meme spouter spouts memes
you forgot your frog kid

t. I barfed on my couch and I speak for millions of people

I like vr for short 1-2 doses every once in a while

Didn't we have VR technology back in the 90's?

desu the best part of vr is btfo poorfags. If they lower the price then vr is dead. I guess its okay if vive lowers it price further since poorfags will be stuck with current vive while we will be knuckle finger controller master race by then.

>I will kill VR as long as poorfags can't get it

sad, with a broken toy.

Not the kind that involved motion tracking or linking up with motion tracking controllers, we just had the two screens showing slightly different images thing down.

vr failed already in the 90s and failed again when the shittier version we call the 'wii' lost public interest. kinect failed too and now this version of VR shit will fail too because it looks good on paper but ends up being a gimmick after an hour of wii bowling...

No, VR will only catch on once you can use a completely wireless headset that runs off a charge + Bluetooth or some shit

Absolutely no one wants to deal with cables and wall mount installations

just don't be poor lel

If it doesn't ship as a standard part of your hardware with every console package, like a standard control pad does, then VR will never be anything but a novelty. Same for that motion-sensing Kinect shit also. If it's not a standard piece of the machine, it'll never be as popular as a standard controller. This shit's just the modern version of NES light gun or power glove. It'll never be the next evolution in gaming. Just an oddity. Price has nothing to do with that.

...

even people with enough money to spend wont buy it because its still not worth it.

t. guy with plenty of money

VR needs a bigger audience to support more game development, but at the same time you're right, I do enjoy the small community we have. It feels like online games in the late 90s again.

Depends on the type of movement used (as well as the execution of that movement), the accommodations for comfort, the person in question, how long that person has attempted to adjust to VR nausea and various external factors.

>guy with not enough money

desu I was thinking of just buying my own game studio and just hiring a bunch of guys and being the ultimate idea guy and have them make a game just for me. Like wu tang but for vidya vr.

>Didn't we have VR technology back in the 90's?

not like THIS

Didn't we have cars in the 1800s?

not like this

this:

people still have their Wii collecting dust, they dont need another useless cool-for-ten-minutes gimmick. people have spoken already, that anything else than a controller in their hands becomes too much effort and i wanna sit on my couch and play spyro for an hour after work not climb a fucking tree like

That's exactly what santa cruz is.

Exactly. It's a piece of shit no matter which way you slice it

didnt we have helicopters in the 1930s?

You've just never tried it user

Here are some games that people say are worth buying VR for:

>Jedi Knight 2/Academy (VR Mod)
>Serious Sam VR
>Raw Data
>Lone Echo/Echo Arena
>Arizona Sunshine
>Elite: Dangerous

Even if everyone could afford VR, it makes half the people who try it sick and the other half get tired of it after 15 minutes. Dead in the water gimmick.

>VR is DEAD unless it games more good games that the masses want to play.
Fixed

I just spent four hours running around in VR with a thumbstick, like a normal game. It's fine. The motion sickness meme is from early VR prototypes that didn't have positional tracking so they felt unnatural.

> hey VR is just a gimmik
> NO IT'S THE FUTURE!
> VR literally dead

Ah yes, the incredible failure of the Wii, I remember those dark times for Nintendo.

>resident evil 7
>worth buying

aaaaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA wow im sad now.

Confirmed never tried it

This guy's acting is priceless. Do you have the NTR one?

how many people do you know that kept playing the wii after 2 years of launch? it made a huge hype splash in the water but all that remains is a little ripple at the edge of the pool.

I have had psvr and it was good and really sick except in some games it runs less than 900p in driveclub it's very blurry but I can spend 4 hours in vr on eve valkhiry psvr. I just sold it tho cus of no games hardly.

>ctrl+f ntr

>>VR is DEAD unless it games more good games that the masses want to play.
that only comes with widespread adoption

Except it isn't.
If a game accommodates several good configurations for virtual movement I should think that most people should be able to find a setup that works for them and that doesn't make them nauseous which was the point of my post.
I've already found several games with simulated acceleration that I could play for a long time or even indefinitely without feeling sick (Though the headset does start to feel uncomfortable after about an hour and hydration is pretty important) and I'm still entirely capable of getting motion sick from poorly implemented solutions.

t. never heard of pc gaming

New tech is always expensive because companies want to recover the cost of R&D. VR will eventually get really cheap, especially when the chinese knock offs start showing.

God bless those Chinese and their $45 VR head sets in the making.

There are already chinese knock offs of VR helmets, I think the cheapest one is 300$(?)

Not him but saw one other day claiming to be 4k with 2k per eye and less than 350 dollars... also saw a 8k headset wih it's own processerr etc like psvr BuT 4k per eye and less than 500 dollars

Yeah, the PiMax 4k.
"The first 4k VR headset in the world"

>calling out one game means the whole list is meaningless

same company

protip: build quality is shit and the 4k models are already falling apart before the 8k hit the shelves

Can confirm, I've got enough disposable income at any given time to buy one of these, but the technology isn't anywhere near where I need it to be to justify the purchase. It's a novelty item, and a relatively expensive one at that when I could just purchase myself a new piece of non-VR hardware or bank it into my savings for something I'll actually get some use out of. I have enough toys, if I'm making a $500+ purchase it had better be something I'm guaranteed to enjoy or use often. This is just not one of those things... yet.

Wake me up if/when full-body or neural link VR becomes a thing and is available to consumers.

you barfed playing what game ?

>doesn't know the use of t. on Sup Forums

I hope there's a game in there that's worth something, but it's usually shovelware overhyped because buyers remorse needed something.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate VR. But the games for it are fucking shit right now. I'm waiting for a Jedi Knight game and I will buy that shit instantly. Not that stupid shovelware trash.

Alternatively, black and white 3. Give me something that puts the shit to use.

>You know it's true Sup Forums
What do you mean by stating that VR is true Sup Forums? Did you use "Sup Forums" as a synonym for "video games"?

>I'm waiting for a Jedi Knight game
Mods for Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy are on the list.

Kinect WAS mandatory for the Xbox One when the console was launched.

It got abandoned pretty quickly once they realised developers didnt want to put it into actual games since it often got in the way.

In VRs credit. You can always put minor VR support into a game without crippling its design.

I'd try it out if it was like fifty bucks, but its way too expensive for something that I know has no substantial games.

It's literally only good for driving games and flying games, and both are for a very tiny niche that already spends thousands on expensive accessories.

Doesn't matter how much it is there are no games and thus it's useless

Have I just gone back to UK primary schools? This looks like some 90s shit

Nobody makes games for 40 people

>VR is dead because I can't afford it
Explain the new headsets releasing next year

Pretty sure the Rift with Controllers was like $300 last time I checked.

The Vive is dead in the water though.

>next year
aren't like 3 Microsoft mixed-reality headsets coming out in 2 days?

399

Four of them release tomorrow, and the others in November then next year.
Oculus also has two headsets for next year. As does Google, one from HTC and Lenovo.
Then there's the Pimax, which has 3 versions of their headset early next year.

There's starting to be way more choices.

>my friend bought a Vive for $800
>he is poor and barely makes rent each month

why

Escapism

VR is dead to me because VR Porn died. They stopped doing it, it's not as busy with releases as they were.

It's dead Jim

>you just need to get used to artificial locomotion
there is no cure for motion sickness. people don't want to make themselves repeatedly sick for entertainment. this will never go away.
>artificial locomotion isn't a big deal
it limits your games to shooting galleries

There's absolutely no creativity in VR games. Show me a game that isn't about throwing, swinging, shooting or placing something in the right spot.

>You can now play NO GAMES on over 20 headsets!!!

Can hardly wait.

VR porn is dead tho. Blu ray discs won because porn industry favoured it.

there's no VR BBW porn

How is it dead?

>60hz
>barfing intensifies

...

What the heck is hz?

Hertz or one/second

still too expensive, gaming peripherals shouldn't cost more than $80

The cost is one big reason I won't do it. I'm not going to spend so much money to buy something I'm not 100% I really want to use.

A monitor's/screen refresh rate, basically how fast the frames are registered.

FRIENDLY REMINDER that 3DPD is BTFO by VR

anti-vr shilling is literally scared roasties

I don't want the masses to afford it, VRChat is literally old internet tier comfy right now since only autist nerds both afford VR and play it.

>my gf and female cousin were triggered INSTANTLY by a big titted wench in a VR boxing game

they are such subhumans its unreal

it's gonna happen buddy

just how we won the internet, we will win your vr and waifus

t. Chad

You can play VRChat without VR though.

except when a greentext would be more appropriate

It needs to be cheap. I don't want to shell out a tone of money for something that's going to be obsolete within a year.

but it's, like, a super-cool cyberninja cosplay accessory and stuff!

>a tone of money
>tone

learn english

Make me.

Yes, but the normalshits don't know that or care about that yet.

>You can play VRChat without VR though.

how do you walk and headpat lolis?
keyboard?

You don't have hand control but you can walk around with the keyboard.

I think VR just isn't for the video game market. Work on making the most precise controls possible. Maybe some kind of glove controls that give the user full articulation. Sell it to the medical industry so doctors/surgeons can do more precise long distance operations. Sell it to people working remotely on things that can't be done in person (working with hazardous materials, unsafe conditions, etc). VR only really works for racing/flying games (a fixed position in a cockpit) or porn games.

You guys know oculus is releasing a $200 standalone headset right? Maybe that'll keep you poorfags busy for a little while.

...

it's less than a smartphone glued to a cardboard

Shit dude you've eliminated many possible actions that one can perform in VR even with artificial locomotion which probably limits your choices to walking or climbing simulators . I'd say Echo Arena but you spend the whole time throwing disks while floating weightless and boosting around.
