all memes aside, this is going to be a serious fucking thing we're going to have to see here constantly and it fucking angers me.

You have to be literally retarded to buy in this early and think it's not past gimmick stage yet. Shit like this doesn't just come out and work flawlessly first generation. Retards have to buy it so they can get funding and create a market and get some market research and all that shit (as in, is the general public even ready to buy into VR yet?)

The hardware to run the thing as it is barely exists unless you want to buy underachieving overpriced meme cards, and that's only at the recommended 90 FPS which actually needs to be much fucking higher for comfortable VR tech that doesn't give you a headache.

>>323019623

It will never be past the gimmick stage because that's exactly what VR is: A gimmick.

Me.

VR is dumb as shit, it's just another gimmick like waggle. Hell, at least waggle was relevant to gameplay and had some good implementations, VR is just "muh immershun".

I think people are too hung up in trying to fulfill the future that's been dreamed up in fiction, rather than a future that's actually functional and worthwhile. Like people wanting hoverboards because of Back to the Future 2. This stuff always seems cooler in fiction because of our imagination.

It's maybe a decade away still, but it'll definitely reach a point where there will be VR headset that works rather well and will be comfortable enough to wear for several hours.

The head tracking responsiveness and accuracy, and the FPS are absolutely crucial, if those are able to get smooth as hell, they basically got it in the bag. It'll take time but the hardware to run the necessary resolution and FPS will be there, they'll be able to cut the size and weight of the headset down a bit, and devs will start programming their games with VR in mind knowing that a smooth frame rate is fucking important. Or at least that's what they should do. If most dev's don't cooperate and get their shit together on optimization, then VR will never take off.

>not to mention VR can cause motion sickness

You mean exactly like the first movie screens, which went on to be one of the biggest businesses and most favored past times ever?

>>323020398
What you don't know about VR

1) You can't just have regular games transformed into VR games, they have to be built from the ground up designed around VR

2) As technology improves, motion sickness that shouldn't exist starts disappearing. However: Actual motion sickness will never disappear. In other words, you will always feel dizzy if you do a barrel roll on a plane close to buildings, because your brain will be 100% fooled. Developers won't be able to take control away from you, have you move too fast or too slow, have you teleport around or have any sort of high motion.

In other words, you will find out that there is actually such a thing as too much immersion. And that is why VR will fail.

>>323020873
Even if we reach that point, VR will continue to be a gimmick that is all style and no substance. Can you honestly imagine moving your head around all the time to play video games? It's gonna be a fucking bother, just like the Wii was when it asked you to flick your wrist at all times.

>>323021160

nice meme.

There is a difference between watching a movie, and having a screen strapped literally an inch from your face taking up 100% of your view.

OP may be bait but I think that most anons are underestimating the amount of discomfort you're going to get from having 300+ grams stuck to your head. I tried google cardboard myself and would definitely start to feel uncomfortable after wearing it less than an hour. My setup was around 372 grams; the oculus rift is supposedly weighing in at "less than 380" so it's a somewhat near match.

This is one of the biggest arguments, I think, that lend toward VR being nothing but a gimmick. If you cannot tolerate it for more than 45 minutes, it can never be a replacement for your current monitor setup. Now, if they were to get lighter, things would be more complicated. But as it stands, I don't think we'd get VR light enough in the near future for this to not fizzle out.

What you don't realize is that VR isn't the fucking new invention of the century like projection was, you fucking dumbass. It's a gimmick like the Wii or the Wii U or the Kinect or 3D glasses or the 3DS.

God, look at you, you literally compared VR to the very first projection, how big of an idiot are you? You have fallen so fucking far into the hype machine it's not even funny.

You think that's going to strengthen your neck?

I like mine
But then again I bought it to make silly games for it so I can make easy money during the VR craze

>>323021157

Are you implying that it somehow won't be usable for video games, despite the fact it's already usable for video games? (albeit kinda poorly)

I would buy one of these in a heartbeat if I knew the technology was actually there to have it run smoothly and look clear. Being able to track your head movement and look around in a game while still moving completely independently is useful as fuck. In games like ARMA, especially when in aircraft, it's a fucking massive advantage.

And I'd really like to be able to have full peripheral vision in vidya, though then again, that's another fucking leap they need to make, turning the FoV up and having to render all that extra shit.

>>323021716
Of course.

>>323021823
Your dream VR that you want and doesn't exist, that is lighter and gives you full human periphery and has no motion sickness whatsoever will still be something you won't want to have on your head every time you play video games.

I guarantee you, you will look back and realize you were wrong.

Only the weak get motion sickness. That being said i'm still not buying the oculus.

>>323022127
Depends on what kind of motion sickness you're referring to. No human being is immune to all kinds of motion sickness, and badly done VR games will have all the motion sicknesses you can imagine.

>>323022036

maybe, either way I'm not even going to seriously consider this shit for years, and even then not until I'm absolutely sure it's at a decent level.

I've already thought about getting a trackIR, but the problem is that it's supported by so few games, so hopefully at the very least, VR shit will get more support for that.

Glad we clarified.

>>323018924
Me, I ignored 3D TV's and 4K so far. Looks like VR is only a gimmick like how the Eyetoy, Sixaxis, Xbox Kinect were used.

VR is interesting, but the cost, clunky size of the headset, and as a direct result the utter lack of software made it real obvious this was nowhere near primetime.

Give it another decade or so, both the price of the headset, the supporting hardware required to run games that support it, and the size of the headset all need to come down considerably before it will get any considerable amount of quality software support and be a good value.

>>323025265
Even then, it will still be a gimmick and you know it. Time won't save this garbage hype.

But that wasn't the reason I gave, the reason I gave is because more or less every bit of commercial tech ever has a few early prototypes, then several different development/testing platforms before they even reach commercial development.

Stop being so dense.

>>323025349
At least it'll be a gimmick that's worth entertaining rather than the joke that it is now.

It's probably gonna sell as much as racing/driving wheels and flight sticks. Hell, that's probably going to be the primary audience because it lends itself so nicely to games where you sit and control a vehicle.
Now if only there was a decent VR mech game...

>>323025263
I'd separate 4K from those, it's just a matter of time before UHD becomes a standard just like HD and SD before it. Though it's probably gonna take a longer time.

Teleporting actually works pretty well, as long as you're aware of where you're going so it doesn't seem like the video feed just skipped.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwZt2jRE8PY
Since the Rift is primarily seated, the majority of games for it will be cockpit based or use some new locomotion/player placement method like that video.
Vive will have an easier time, but then again maybe not since a developer can't guarantee the amount of floor space the player will have, so it's not like they can go ahead and throw in mechanics that require the full 15 feet IRL.

You're correct for the other stuff though. Taking away player control is going to be the most difficult habit for devs to kick.
https://www.vg247.com/2015/09/28/valve-blame-the-developer-if-vr-makes-you-sick/
I believe him - I've not used Rift CV1 but I have used Vive DK1 and it was fine, but I know that was because nothing was forcing me into first person cutscenes. HL2 style will still work, to a degree, but it won't be possible to do COD style where you get thrown around by explosions or crash helicopters.

I am a proud VRcuck but there are a shitload of obstacles to overcome and devs are having to relearn game design practically from step 1. The next few years will be filled with vomit and videos like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ignn19Ajvs

I wouldn't buy it at this point as there's nothing I desperately want for it, but the tech's good fun. Once it starts getting proper games outside of the gimmick trash, then I'll be interested.

TF2VR is also the most hit and miss thing on the planet. It's great to wander maps with, but actual playing must be awful. The fact that they didn't have more than one Vive portal setup was so irritating.
