Boring. I can't understand all the fuss about VR. We've already seen VR attempts in 90s, they failed. Nothing has vastly changed since then. The price, lack of content (ok, there will be racing simulators, flying simulators, swimming simulators... ok, even if there will be a simulator for every first person action - it is still nothing), hardware requirements, "stuck with only 1 kind of display forever" - why are everyone so ecstatic about VR? 3D was also shoved down our throats like a new cure for cancer... and what became of it? True, VR will take some niche market, but it has no real value entertainment wise (I am not talking on medical or other real life implementations). In my view - the future is with Augmented Reality.
Have you used the Oculus Rift or any other VR device for that matter? The first generation of VR back in those days the graphics were just crude shapes and blocks floating around that didn't offer any kind of a realistic envrionment but now with mordern games it drastically changes how hou precieve your envrioment and makes it much more realistic. Put some headphones on and you truly do get ermersed and feel "inside" the game. It's hard to descrive just how good it is, so different to how it was way back then in the 90's. Also there are some big players pushing VR at the moment. I'm not going to say VR will succeed but you can't compare it to 3D. For me 3D is/was a nice to have feature (assuming it was implement correctly which most of the time it wasn't!), once you've experienced VR there's no going back and this is just the begining. Also, augmented reality looks amazing too and I can't wait to see how that develops but where AR enhances your current envrionment with VR, it can completely change it.

I for one am really looking forward to this. PC gaming for me has become incredibly stale of late as such I mainly play games from the 90's and early 00's through emulation - much more fun. If they can do it right and sort of make it feel like you're actually there (no motion lag etc.) I think it will be great. Lot's of possibilities. I just hope it will work for people who wear glasses like me, my up close seeing is perfect but everything gets blurry long distance so maybe I can get away without needing my glasses for it? 😀

Are you insane?

VR is the future and the natural evolution. It has been lurking out of the water sometimes trying to breath for quite some time and now seems a good time to start colonizing the earth. We reached a point where graphics have evolved so much they don´t have the impact on the gaming experince it used to have: VR on the other hand has quite the potential. It´s a revolution for me.
Won't it be a lot like 3D movies, being certain movies are improved by the 3D experience.

Forget about gaming for now........but think about watching a movie with a 200" screen in front of you 😀
