I'd like to be optimistic about VR but I feel like it'd already be widely available if people wanted it. I'd like to be optimistic about Sony throwing their hat in, but they've got a pretty good list of abandoned hardware (PSP, Move, Playstation TV...) Occulus Rift has been floating around a couple of years now and nobody really seems to give half a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. |

On one had: This is probably the best and most practical use of VR I've seen thus far. I'm not going to lie, I'd love to try it. On the other had: I pretty much agree with pbj. I feel like we have already "been there, done that" with VR. And if it was going to succeed on a wide-scale basis, it already would have. Time will tell, but unless every kid on the block has one (like the original Gameboy, an HDTV or a PS4 for example) then it will just become another "that was cool while it lasted" products. |

Most everything is either a demo or a hack. Games need to be written from the ground up with VR in mind or it's just a big vomit-fest. I have no doubt VR will succeed though, the immersion is unreal. It's like when we all went from playing Super Mario Bros to playing Doom. |

But for some reason, John-Q-Public has all the patience in the world for content to be made availble for VR. :dizzy: |

The first generation hardware might "fail" the same way my first 3D video card only had 10 games ported to it and second generation headsets might come along before first generation headsets gain traction. But VR in general will be here to stay. |
