Why is VR already dead like 3DTVs? What went wrong Sup Forums?

3D tvs suck, that's what went wrong.

Technology gets better, prices go down, it'll be a bigger deal.

We are not done with VR

Many technologies have a hype period, where people freak out when they see the potential, but when it is not as great as expected they sort of go away for a while. Despite this the technology will keep advancing, and one day meet the expectations we had during the hype period.

It's fucking gay and "serious" video gaming is a poor person's hobby/lifestyle

>People choosing to live life differently than i do?!
>What is this bullshit.

You're a sad angry little person huh?

It's far from dead. But then you're trolling anyway.

Get a job

VR games are shit rn

lols sometimes when i'm interested in a thread. I talk shit to some dumb newfag so the keep it bumped for me.

i mean once fallout 4 comes out for VR im fairly certain that itll be more than enough for the meantime

On a scale of Obama to Al Sharpton how triggered are you right now?

How is playing experimental games on clumsy vr glasses serious video gaming?
Last time i checked ppl who are serious about videogames played cs or quake or mobas. Retard.

It's a gimmick. I've said this for years, VR will find a use in certain sectors (health, engineering etc) but the TV+console/PC way of gaming will still be the dominant way to game for years to come.

You and I could go back and forth 100 times and this shit thread, about something even video game losers don't care about, would still 404 in 5 minutes.

>bump

I prefer Minecraft and MLP RPGs, but to each his own

too expensive

rich ppl toy don't catch on

>pump

>jump

intrastructure, costs of media production, lack of understood mapped out capabilities, requirements for running it at home

>gump?

Once everyone finds the porn and accepts it, whole industries will thrive.

Yeah. This is very true.

>Why is VR already dead like 3DTVs? What went wrong Sup Forums?

Stupid concept, lack of content. Just a dumb gimmick. Fuck it.

Vive won... if you haven't tried Vive, it cucks all the other systems

It's clear that you know nothing about VR.
>>I want ma 2D games, I don't like being immersed

God, you're retarded.

You're a fag

People who don't like VR, have never even tried VR.

summer fags

you're clueless

Suck my cock nigger bitch

common guys vr is the future

Stump

Oh yeah I remember you saying that for years

Fuck off newfag.vr is changing the way of game

Vr is an overhyped gimmick that doesn't improve anything at all. The only thing it does is cost a lot of money

Ya i remember now

Because nobody's making any 3D games beside Spoopy Jumpscare 9000 and Stationary Toy Box Simulator.

When are we gonna get a fucking mech-pilot VR game?

Fuck you motherfucker

>SERIOUS video gaming
Fucking tryhards.

Becaus your mom did not buy you one

Eve Valkyrie is awesome, I have the PSVR.

I dont like having a screen close to my eyes.

I have a PSVR

interested demos of VR headsets for sure.
but wearing those fucking google is gay as fuck minions google shit.

vr will be cool when well integrated into RayBans or contact lenses, not some fucking apparatus to balance my cellphone on my nose...

Coming from a guy using a computer to type that

It's a gimmick.

Nobody wants to play gimmicky VR games for longer than ten minutes, so they all do the demos then don't actually buy that shit.

The main problem is the low-resolution. Each screen needs to be about 8k, but the technology isn't there yet.

I predict in about 15 years we'll get there, and VR will return. Virtual vacations - where you can visit wondrous historical and natural landmarks - are going to be huge, mark my words.

>What went wrong Sup Forums

The equipment is cumbersome.
VR won't make it big until it can make a guy feel like he's getting laid - without wearing a condom - on his head.

>Virtual vacations

lol

Spoken like a true poor kid.

>screen needs to be about 8k,
8k when it is about 2" from your eyeballs????
um, fuck faggot, thats intense.

but if it ever does get like that, I would use it on my enemies to induce a fatal epileptic seizure upon them wearing it

The closer the screen is to your eyeballs, the higher the resolution needed. That's why current VR has what's known as the "screen door effect" - because the resolution is sufficiently low that you are able to see in between the pixels at that distance.

its sad, nintendo 3ds combines both 3d tv and vr now that it has face tracking technology

>face tracking technology
lack thereof is exactly why 3d TVs arent currently feasible, because you have to have a narrow viewing angle in order for the 3d effect to work. The 3DS now alleviates this with face tracking AI that works from ANY angle

but sadly this wasnt released until 4 years after the original 3ds and will be forgotten like the wii U. sad because IMO the new 3ds is ahead of its time and will always be superior to headsets

tl;dr because the 3ds didnt get the love it needs despite being the best VR

How is the vr experience nowadays? Am a mostly blind fag, can handle slower paced vidya, the vr looks like something I could do if it doesn't fuck me up and get me sea sick or something. ..

Or cause seizures

3ds is not VR
3ds is 3D

I like real vaginas

It has not one single game. only crappy tech demos so far. Once there's a decent single player game or even a full mmorpg, or anything that gives you incentive to play for longer than just 15 minutes VR will take off I think.

Real vaginas smell like fish and pennies. They are also wet and make your clothes smell like that.

because it costs like 1000 bucks and is shit

yeah but imo 3d is VR, especially when you add a face tracking technology that allows you to seemingly vreak the laws of physics and see a flat screen as being as deep as the grand canyon from any angle, not just one.

plus as far as im aware modern VR does not have 3d depth to images yet. sad that the 3ds didnt get these improvements until it was at the end of its life.

i think a face tracking 3d handheld with 2 screens is the best possible VR until we have contact lens VR or full immersion matrix style VR. I think the 200 dollar 3ds could even appreciate in value when people realize how timeless it is over the decades lol. sad it has crappy games mostly

>poor person's hobby/lifestyle
Huh??? The best high-end games are like 40-60 bucks, tf you talking about.

hell id take one

>prohibitively expensive pricing
>to play on pc requires almost top tier computer to play decent games
>its neat but once you own one, it turns into another meme peripheral that youll only use every once in a while or to show your friends

i once fingered a fat hooker i met by a liquor store while she was giving me a discount blow job and smelled it about 30 min later and it smelled like that. do all girls have that smell or is it just the fat ones?

>already dead
More like not advanced enough yet to be considered alive.

Have you watched people play VR games? It's barely a step up from wii bowling. The graphics are shit because serious game devs haven't jumped on and committed to the platform yet and the hardware has a long ways to go too yet.

Current VR(at least what I've seen of it) is nothing but a fad for spoiled kids and ultra nerds. Five or ten years from now it'll be the standard for most games

Usually just fat hookers that hang outside of liquor stores. And, at risk of being redundant, niggers.

its a shitty gimmick

VR was alive in the 90s, and kept being alive since then, just not as alive in the gaming scene.

VR is retarded. you probably betted on VR exploding. probably bought shares lmao

when I first heard of the concept, I knew it would die.

VR is clunky
It's no convienent for the typical player
It's something else to buy
Limited amount of support

people aren't willing to change platform as long as they are completely content with what they already have. that's why video game developers just 'add' onto their games, like COD, WoW, Assassin's Creed.

It's like CCP which owns EVE Online. Their only successful game was EVE, and they hardly ever come out with content anymore. They invested in 4 projects that have since died, including VR. They were one of the first major supporters of VR and look at it now.

If you like your VR, you can keep your VR.
but you can't insult others into liking it, especially when they refuse to buy it in the first place.

>almost trips

she was a n word too my man. bj with no wrap cost 30 + taco bell true story.

>CDs will never take off
>500mb is enough space
>multiplayer will never work
>graphics will never get better
>no one will buy episodic content

Im still getting VR. Flight sims and driving games. Thats about it.

>>CDs will never take off
mb is enough space
>>multiplayer will never work
>>graphics will never get better
>>no one will buy episodic content
these are all strawmans

please tell me why OPs pic exists and VR is not taking off.

I could easily come back and say

>why didn't zune take off
>why didn't google glass take off
>why didn't HD:DVD take off

funfact: nintendo came out with something called a 'fun boy' around the time you were born. It had 3d graphics, being described as a 'virtual reality headset' guess what? it crashed and burned like VR did.

there's a reason why VR hasn't taken off

Multiplayer still doesn't fucking work. Explain to me how bullet registry and hit markers "works" in your words. Explain to me how I clearly hit you but it doesn't show up in the fucking kill cam. My internet is fire what the fuck do you fucking mean "wOrkS?!"

False advertising, we're a long time away from actual VR.

Those are all technological advances, not marketed 'conveniences'
3D/VR tech has been around for awhile, It's just that no one wanted to market it. Believe me, Microsoft or Apple would have already come out with their gimmicks way before nVidia had the chance.

Palmer backlash? The iPod took off. Google glass was akin to commercial VR technology pre-2010s. Blu-ray beat HD-DVD in the format war. My invoking those examples is to demonstrate that each and every facet of consumer technology had it's fair share of skeptics, critics, and pitfalls, only to proliferate well after the fact. VR is no exception.

The game engine performs tasks dependent on user input, the game itself requests to send information about what is happening clientside through your internet connection, the information goes to a server, the server takes that information and sends it to all other clients, and in turn takes the information from the other clients in their respective environments and sends it to yours, clientside, so everything can more or less be in sync.

Hit markers are just a HUD feature. Bullet registry relies on algorithms. Latency has always been an issue, but you can connect to a server just fine- unless you really can't connect to a server, then the multiplayer for that specific game, service, or company, doesn't work.

If VR technology has been around for a while, then I would mark it down as a technological advancement. It just reads like the problem was the issue of marketing, and knowing how to sell it, let alone sell things for it. Handing out VR goggles is not dissimilar to the first time a game used polygons.

I owned one of these pieces of shit. Gave me horrible headaches. Fucking vr wont take off till its like sword art online matrix style shit. I also owned a zune...
