Why does VR still not have any amazing high quality games?

Too gimmicky, like motion controls.

It's one of those scifi concepts that people think would be cool irl but the reality is something else. It's mostly that there's just no good application for it. For work etc, you can buy a monitor for €300 which will be big enough to completely fill your vision. For games, you have the problem of your vision not matching your other senses which makes you wanna vomit. We'll not have true VR until we somehow manage to emulate the effects of movement etc on your other senses which isn't going to be easy.

I think that part of it is that starting up a VR game requires a commitment to playing VR - you have to put on all the stuff, clear out a play area, etc. whereas with an xbox or playstation you're probably already sitting on the couch and can just grab the controller and go. Same with the computer - you close your last zoom meeting of the day and start up helldivers or whatever.

Another thing is the impressions the first gen of headsets left on the consumers. I had no intention of ever buying a VR headset because I thought you either had to be tethered to your computer the whole time or suffer through whatever the cell phone level gpu in a headset could power. When I found out (thanks to someone on rdrama) that you can wirelessly stream from your computer I bought a headset to try it out and it turns out it works flawlessly and VR is actually really cool.

No Man's Sky is pretty fun in VR.

You're right about the weight though - I can't wear the headset for too long before it starts hurting my face.

Too busy gooning to VRchat

Frick AAA slop, just play Thrill of the Fight. Also, they aren't that heavy, you're just fat and lazy.

I really enjoy VR but I usually either lug it out only when friends are over or I am just sitting down at the desk (no controllers). It's really cool, but I can only stand it for 2-3hrs before it's uncomfortable. I kept trying to explain this to """metaverse""" investors but no one wanted to listen to the reality that it's more of an occasional play than an 8hr everyday thing.

i'ts inconvenient, takes up space to play, heave, uncomfortable, expensive, makes ppl sick, no gamec (chicken and egg)

its tough

Honestly space is the biggest issue. Most people don't have a 10x10 space in their house to dedicate to vidya, other than like the living room. And nobody wants to be the weirdo playing vr in his living room.

Why modern gaym devs hands growing out their anus ?

Buy in is too high, technology isn't there for good controls that don't require a lot of movement, a lot of have motion sickness

The games industry is a fricking joke. That's why.

I'm certain that if this tech was available in 2005 or so we'd be getting a boatload of great games.

Remember when 3D movies were going to be a big thing?

I dont want to have some r-slurred helmet on 👴🏻

In addition to the bulkiness of headsets, making a vr game is exceptionally hard and complicated. I heard testing them is a bit if a nightmare.

What's the demand.

I'm a DINK who plays video games and has plenty of extra money sitting around. Yet, I'm not willing to drop $400 or whatever on a headset that my computer may or may not be able to handle.

Tons of kids play it. It is like any other game console for Gen alpha. They are playing stuff like gorilla tag though.
