What went wrong?

Your life

nogaems

Just doesn't appeal to enough people. VR shit costs money and how many games/experiences really justify purchasing a VR kit? Hell, I run flight and racing sims a lot and I'm only halfway interested in it.

I got all these acne marks after wearing it. Fuck.

>>388334697
They want VR to be a closed platform rather than a premium accessory

Oculus is closed as shit and you need Revive to play their games on other VRs, even more you can't play UWP VR games such as Minecraft for Win 10 without Oculus

It makes you look like you strapped a brick to your face.

Once there's really good interactive CGI porn games it'll take off big time.

>>388334697
The only games for it are horror oriented.

And not even good ones at that.

1. The ridiculous cost of the headsets
2. The ridiculous cost/requirements of computers capable of running poor quality VR graphics in real time
3. The promise of open-source VR development, before Facebook and ZeniMax Media Inc filed dozens of patents
4. The low amount of games available for VR headsets
5. Sony half-assing their attempts at supporting VR, when they had the potential to revolutionize it

Cost.

Give it 10 years when you can do everything VR currently does in a wireless capacity and without a "base station" (computer, etc.) at a price point normal consumers will impulse buy <$400 and you'll have a winner.

>>388335147

>>388334697

>>388335371

SteamVR 2 is optimized for cost.

Too expensive for a niche product
Need to either be cheaper or more accessible

VR needs to be much much cheaper and easier to run, it needs good 1st person game support since that's the only benefit it has, and most likely it needs better motion input to be more immersive.

>>388334697

Price tag is a fatal flaw. Few adopters means little software, which means few adopters.

>>388334697
>Gamers all over the world dream for VR to become a thing for decades
>Turns out its nothing but an uncomfortable gimmick in of itself

What went wrong is that having a screen strapped to your face isn't enough. You need extra inputs in order to fully immerse yourself.

Problem 1: The biggest selling point of all, your immersion, breaks really fucking fast when you can feel the goggles trying to slip away from the force of gravity.

Problem 2: What you feel isn't what you see. People want to use their hands in an intuitive manner. If you want to grab an object you feel naturally inclined to lean in and grab it. If you're holding two dildo-sticks with buttons you subconsciously want to release them because what you're physically feeling isn't what corresponding to your screen.

The sticks can still works with shooters for example, but it would be better to design smart gloves.

Problem 3: Spatial limitations. VR suddenly loses all of its magic if you don't have some form of multi-directional treadmill to simulate walking without actually going anywhere. This is just extra clutter to buy and have around, very inconvenient. For the majority of the market this means having to settle with ~magically teleporting~ across spaces, which breaks immersion.

Problem 4: Games. Until the previous problems are solved, all standard PC and console games are not really viable for VR gameplay. The only games that can feel natural to VR are VR-designed games and at this stage they really don't ascend to anything beyond Wii-sports tier. We won't see a VR-designed best-seller in the next 5-10 years.


In conclusion:
It relies exclusively on gimmicks to stand out.
It fails to deliver on its most fundamental selling point.
It's missing non-existent technology and necessitates costly and inconvenient extras just to do what it's meant to do.

>>388336748
Yep, true VR isn't strapping a screen to your face. When we get to the point where it actually feels like you're in the game with motion controls+headset having advanced enough, we will have true VR.

As it was, VR was far too expensive to be anything more than a toy for someone with more cash than sense and while PSVR tried to tone that down, Sony also has a track record of making new peripherals they ditch within a month and while PC has far more VR titles, most are just glorified tech demos showing what VR can do and the games that are genuine titles tend to be too far and few between that it's not worth the investment

They made the lens of a $600 product out of plastic that scratches easier than a PS1 disk.

I scratched my lens with the cleaning cloth that comes with it after 2 weeks.

>>388334697
What we got isnt what we were promised

If we got googles for 300-350$, with a singular, standardized, open source driver, then adding support for the shits (even just as a an output device) would be nigh-trivial, and progress would be incremental and customizable.

Instead we got 3+ shits competing for a niche market at absurd prices, all trying to be a consoles on top of consoles with further-limiting peripherial controllers as their "selling point"

>>388334697
There are a ton of VR titles, they're just all shitty tech demos were mostly you can't even move around. The AAA FPS genre completely ignored it, even though they could have benefitted the most from it.
They're also inconvenient and big. I don't how good the dispaly is, I'm not wearing a thing that big. I don't even like headphones because I start heating up and sweating. That thing must be crazy hot to wear.
The AR glasses look more promising as a technology.

>>388338980
>implying
People are still alive now who were old enough to experience when games were basically just text. People underestimate how fast technology advances and true VR is one of those things that's a wet dream for gamers, especially RPGs.

>>388339225
Have you even tried to play a FPS in VR with free movement? It's super nauseating... few people can even stand it more than 30 minutes.

>>388339496
That's likely because of all the exaggerated shit in today's game graphics. I assume you'd need to design graphics intentionally so that they aren't disorienting in VR. Shit like motion blur seems like it would be hell in VR.

>>388339225
The main failing is that games have to be made for them, rather than them being compatible with all games.

PPl dont want that VR techdemo shit. they want to look around in their car in driving games or in other simulators, they want to look around independent of their movements in their fps...

>b-but motion sickness
Well if all the effort of trying to hardware-lock games and shitting out tech demos went into actually solving that issue, we would be done with that shit already.

>>388339604
Motion blur makes it less nauseating. When you move your head IRL your eyes don't move exactly with your head and focus on a still object, but in VR your eyes don't automatically do that when you turn with an analog stick.

Literally only good for porn at the moment, tech is impressive but isn't good enough yet and not many people want to make games for it.

>>388334697
Too expensive

>>388339778
There aren't any hardware locked games.

For me:

1. Price point is too ridiculous at the moment. It is starting to come down, but fuck paying the same price as a premium GPU for it. It needs to be around $300-350 with controllers to be feasible.

2. Screen quality is shit at the moment. I tried one back a few months ago and it was a major distraction with several of the demo games that were available. It pretty much took me out the experience.

3. They are too big at the moment and require too much setup. This is partly because it is new tech, but they REALLY need to shrink it.

4. No games that are worthwhile. Everything is either a conversion of a older title and being sold for a huge amount, or glorified tech demos. Only thing that has remotely impressed me is RE7, and that was only because it shipped with the functionality on PS4 and wasn't a conversion.

5. HTC and Oculus are being shitheads about making their headsets closed platforms and not letting it be a more open experience for anyone with a headset to enjoy. Not to mention PSVR is stealing a lot of potential away behind exclusivity contracts. I feel like the market already fucked itself before it began.

Is it worth getting DK2 for very cheap and trying VR?

>>388340361
No.
I don't think games made for CV1 or Vive work on DK2

>>388339496
They said the same shit about 3 dimensional space in video games in an FPS camera mode too back before they were a thing.
>"Moving around in a virtual space while you aren't physically moving yourself must be crazy disorientating"
I don't think this is true for VR either. We just need more development and effort spent on it, so the people smart and talented enough can get a chance at making it good.

vive will continue to improve the tech, and be open enough for any dev to put whatever game they want on it. for better or worse. it's a dumping ground with some cool shit to find

psvr is selling better than those two combined and each headset is sold at a profit, using basic cheap move tech they developed last gen. this makes sony happy enough to allow playstation to invest in games that wouldn't have normally done vr, like resident evil and ace combat. they are the only ones making a real investment in software. rift only has shit devs involved, htc is only interested in hardware.

gear vr is the biggest push virtual reality has had for the mainstream. they sold millions more than the big three combined, and I know fuck all about it

>>388334697
The same thing that went wrong with the Wii and will continue to plague motion controls and VR until the tech reaches Holo-deck or Matrix levels of completion; without appropriate sensory feedback the pursuit of "total immersion" is, ironically, rather unimmersive. The need to willfully coordinate your real and virtual movements without the benefit of those sensory feedback mechanisms that guide your real movements to sync the two up adds a degree of separation between thought and virtual action that is lessened by using normal inputs like controller or keyboard instead and making tiny button presses mapped to those more complex actions.

It's the difference between conventional gaming where you jump or punch with the jump or punch button versus remotely piloting an android while your arms and legs are asleep/numb from lack of circulation. The former is less exacting/precise but a hell of a lot more expedient and functional than the latter.

Can't remember anything like that for Wolfenstein 3D or Doom.

Maybe a handful of people had issues with it, but it's still a completely different thing. you didn't wear some heavy piece of shit on your head for those games. And with VR people are literally puking their guts out.

Even 3D TV failed. One of the reasons were the silly glasses. People don't like to wear those. And it sucks especially for long term sessions. Period. Which means a big no no for game enthusiasts. VR helmets are even way heavier than those and I wouldn't want to play 10 hours with that on my head. I however like to play games for quite a long time.

And then there is the problem with a really high frame rate, that you also need. With PS4 PCs you won't get good graphics because of that. And on PC you need the equipment and also a high end PC. That's another problem. It's ridiculously expensive, which makes it instantly niche. Which also makes it fail.

>The same thing that went wrong with the Wii
You are right with that to a degree.
But Wii was the opposite of VR.
Wii was made for people to come together, in person, to play. Which was a good thing. Humans are social creatures.

Wii was also inexpensive and it worked for quite a few games. That's why it succeeded back then.

Motion controls are standard nowaways, and I love it. mind you, motion controls shouldn't be used all the time just for the sake of it. For Splatoon or RE:R (3DS) for example motion controls improve the gameplay. You do not just aim using motion controls, but motion controls are a method of fine tuning aim on a console and it works fine and improves gameplay and that's a big plus.

Analog stick controllers without motion controls on top are simply shit.

What I find funny though is all the idiots, who shat on Wii because of "waggle", and now got their PS VR and waggle because of artificial hype.

Robo recall has a mod that adds walking, but it breaks the game since the player is supposed to be locked onto teleportation points.

>>388348605

It's not an excuse nor a lie. I HAVE to use teleport mode when it's available because I get physically ill during smooth movement.

Like I made it a point to play PCars and do a complete lap on nurburgring (1 lap is about 10 minutes), sickness be damned. By the time it was finally over, I had to go lie down for a bit because I was so queezy.

I've a much higher tolerance for it these days though so maybe I'll try PCars again some day. Not any time soon though.

Remember how people freaked out about the 3DS, but then hardly anybody turned 3D mode on because it didn't really add anything to the experience? It's like that, except now it's way more expensive and you have to strap the 3DS to your head.

more lies

It offers you less control than if you were to play with traditional control methods. Look at shooters and how instead of full 3D movements you can just awkwardly teleport around like that edgy kid from school wishes he could.

My metric for judging whether a new piece of tech is a gimmick or not is that if it adds to your experience without detracting at all, it's not a gimmick. Like, the 3D on the 3DS is a gimmick because while it works, most people can't play it for that long without migraines and it nukes framerates and battery life. Something like the streaming options PS4 has isn't a gimmick because it adds a useful new function without impacting on your game at all. While VR offers some unbelievable advances in how you can play and experience games, that comes at a cost of you losing function that you would have had in a traditional game. Therefore it's still just an expensive gimmick at the end of the day.

>>388351940
Comparing 3D and VR is laughable.

3D is really just a gimmick. VR changes the gameplay fundamentaly. You interact with the game world intuitively, using your hands, your movement is transfered 1:1 to the game. Even with shit graphics you feel the world, you can eyeball distances, move your head to see behind the obstructions, aim guns like in real life.

There is quite a lot single and multiplayer games. You can always find servers with people playing.

Fuck I've stopped playing flat games altogether, because VR games are so much engaging.

Get a grip, if you call yourself gamer, you should play in VR.

And it will only get better.

Don't play non VR games in VR.

Rotation is bad. Period. People are sensitive to rotation. Movement on other hand is something you can deal with after adaptation.

The push for room scale and motion controllers is retarded, neither of these things are good.
The only thing good about VR is 3d and headtracking.

FUCK ME. Can you look freely, while still shooting in the same direction? Can you shoot behind a corner without exposing yourself? Can you feel the adrenaline rush, when you are suppressed by enemy fire and frantically try to manually reload that fucking machine gun?

In all serious shooters you have ability to walk using trackpad or analog stick, one, for comfort uses, "out of body teleport" - you point where you want to walk, your avatars goes there and then camera snaps to new location, but only scrubs use that.

After playing Onward, Pavlow, Arizona Sunshine, i don't fucking want to play flat shooters.

Without full 6DoF tracking you will feel like the world is moving with you. It's very strange and uncomfortable feel. And you won't be able to see enemy planes which hide behind cockpit frame.

But really, the immersion and scale is so fucking good. The possibility just to look around in the cockpit, to feel how cramped it is, it's just 10/10.

Rift is now cheap, and you don't need Touch controllers for cockpit games, so why don't you buy it and try it?

And for non cockpit games roomscale is THE revolution.

He meant he was born too early.

I just got a Rift the other day. So far I've only played Robo Recall and a little bit of Defense Grid 2.

Not sure how I feel about it yet. The sense of immersion is impressive, for sure, but once I got past that the limitations became pretty annoying. The screendoor effect is pronounced, and everything close to you is a blurry mess. Text looks bad, and the units in Defense Grid were difficult to discern.

FOV was too constrained, as well, and the headset at times felt claustrophobic, like wearing a gas mask. Also found it fussy to get on and off, and the lenses got smudged up easily from contact with my forehead/hair.

It's clear that while VR has come a long way, it's still got a ways to go before it's truly a first class experience. Resolution upgrades will help, but they really need light field tech to deal with the focus problems. In many ways it still feels like a beta product, and I would guess it'll take another generation or two of development before it gets to where it needs to be.

When this movie drops VR is going mainstream more than it is now. Every kid everywhere is going to want VR.

>>388356976
Took me a few days to learn that you have to adjust the headset on your face to bring everything into focus. The headset can tilt up and down while it's on your face, plus it has to be sitting a little high up in order to align the fresnel rings properly. If you don't focus it properly, text becomes difficult to read. So during that warning when you first put on the headset appears, use that time time to seat it on your face properly until everything is nice and clear.

Also you may have to pull it a little bit away from your face too if you have to wear glasses like I do.

I'm not saying everything is blurry - just when you get close to things, i.e., anything closer than about arm's length. This is a limitation of the 2D+lens system, that everything can't be in focus at once. This is what light field technology is supposed to address:

>>388357817
I use PSVR and close up everything is sharp and the further out things become pixelated.
And it depends on the game developer but basically that's how it is. So the opposite , close is super clear , far is a blur.
I've been told that PS4 PRO fixes some that depending on the game. I just haven't bothered to upgrade.

>>388350347

I'd drop a colony on her if you know what I'm saying.

>>388357817
I find it to be the opposite. For instance, in H3VR and Killing Floor Incursion, I can easily read the very fine print and very details on the weapons bgy holding them very close to the headset. They look quite beautiful, in fact. You can see all the ridges and dimples.

>>388357817
VR headset need higher pixel density. Now you have more ore less FullHD screen stretched to fill your field of view. Pixel per degree count is around ~15 and it's noticable - everything looks just a little bit out of focus.

For VR to be indistinguishable from IRL pixel count need to be at least 5 times more - around 60 pixel per degree. But without foveated rendering no machine could render that in 90 FPS

Subnautica, Elite: Dangerous, Skyrim and Fallout 3/4/NV are basically infinite content for people who don't inherently hate open worlds. Budget Cuts, even as a demo, is the most fun I've ever had playing a video game. Then there's Superhot, Robo Recall, Raw Data, Lone Echo, Vanishing Realms, The Gallery, RE7, and a million different porn games/videos/animation.

The content is absolutely there at this point, it's just a matter of maintaining momentum. Oculus is pumping money into larger projects now, while Valve has 4 games in production. Knuckles is a massive leap for control. Eye tracking is probably going to triple performance on its own. All that really needs to happen from here is increasing resolution, shrinking the headsets, and dropping the prices which naturally occurs with time and is something we're already seeing. The only thing you can really say has gone wrong is segmenting the marketplace, but even that was necessitated by Oculus having to get return on the games they invest in.

I think his eyes might be a little worse/different than ours. I tried reading his post again and I don't understand it. There's a bit of blurriness when you look at stuff really closely, but it's not really like insanely blurry. The low res HMD makes things look more blurry.

>>388359319
Pimax is upscaling from FullHD and 60 FPS only and no 6DoF tracking...

>>388358787
>>388359403
Well, to be fair I'm only basing my impression on the two games I've played so far (Robo Recall and Defense Grid 2). Both look basically sharp and in focus when looking at distant objects, but examining the gun in your hand in RRl, or getting up close to the towers in DG2, things get super blurry. My understanding is this is just due to the physical limitation of the hardware only allowing for fixed focal point.

It's fucking $400 for a Rift bundle, and comes with games. Stop being a bunch of poorfags. I'm sure Best Buy has demos where you can try it out before buying.

I mean I know what you're talking about the vergence accommodation conflict exists, but it's not very problematic for me unless I bring things right up into my face.

Literally doesn't matter. Those games are content and offer an insane amount of playtime and fun. My point was that "there's nothing to play" is not legitimate, not that an effectively brand new medium already has a massive library of native AAA experiences. Bethesda games in VR will absolutely be a system seller if the implementation is decent.

>as far as all the new games go RE7 is the only one that's an actual fucking game by 21st century standards.
Flashy graphics are not the only factor in "21st century standards". CS:GO has had 561,000 distinct players in the past day, while looking like shit and a being somewhat janky game with very little content. Superhot was a huge success well before implementing VR, as were Skyrim and FO4.

for that you would have to actually feel what you are holding in game. You don't.
You would also have to be able to move freely in the real world to move in the game, which you probably can, but then you need to huge room exclusive to this, with padded walls, so that you don't hurt yourself.

And then it would still suck, because you can't play a game confortably on a coach.

That's why it all fails and is also a shitty expensive gimmick.

>>388362107
Games in general are terrible now so what does it matter if you look at them through brick goggles

>>388362176
it's niche for now but the market is slowly growing.

>>388361497
>I would never buy a new console if all it had were ports from a previous console and most people feel the same way.
totally agreed, but most consumers nowadays are really stupid. That's why the PS4 sold like hotcakes despite no games except for tons of last gen ports, which those morons bought with a smile on their face instead of asking for backward compatibility and telling Sony to fuck off.

Posting this a second time in case anyone missed it before. Pay $4 and get like 9 VR games.

These are some weak ass arguments.
OMG you to be able to play PC games you need a desk chair, a soft one, so that you don't get sores.

Oculus is about as popular as Vive and all the games in that are sit down or stand in a single spot.

I bet you haven't tried VR once. No GearVR and cardboard don't count those are shit tier.

>>388362413
thanks anon.

>>388361836
Not that guy, but VR is a LOT cooler than 3D. Being able to lean your head forward and move it all around creates the sensation that the environment around you is actually around you, you feel the depth of objects in the virtual space, and aiming with your head is pretty different. For example, I played RE7 start to finish in VR as my first playthrough, without any HUD, and that ties aiming to your head. It was a really good experience. I played it after without VR and it wasn't the same experience even remotely.

>>388361497
Yeah, because ports on a new console is at most a graphical update and maybe some half ass motion controls.

Using VR is a completely transformative experience. You gain so much just from being able to scale things realistically.

>>388362714
>VR is a completely transformative experienc
It's still games I already played. Fresh new and proper games like RE7 would just be better. Sales would definitely be better for the headsets then.

what game is this?

>>388363130
Job simulator

>>388362314
I still hasn't finished DOOM, Hitman which I like very much. It's just, when I find time for gaming I prefer to pop on my headset and join some tacticool action in Onward or kill some gladiators in Gorn, or fly in A-10C, kill some zombies in Dead Effect 2/Arizona. Or just chill in some beatifull enviroments in Steam VR home with randoms.

>>388363212
I have Job Simulator. It doesn't look like that.

>>388363264
It looks like it's early alpha of Job Sim.

You don't play as Doom Guy if that makes you feel better.

BTW Vive controllers are pretty sturdy. I had to smack it with full force into a wall to get this result.

Fortunately some glue and welding plastic with soldering iron helped.

Do you wear glasses/contacts? I found an interesting discussion on this topic here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/6l4c11/closeup_objects_blurry_in_my_rift_normal/

The user "Doc_Ok" (who seems to know a thing or two about it, and gave a talk on the subject), gave this explanation:

>You're seeing the fundamental missing feature of all current VR headsets. All objects, no matter how far they are supposed to be away, are displayed at the same optical distance.

>This messes with your eye's mechanism to adjust lens power. When you cross/uncross your eyes to focus on an object in the real world, your eyes' lenses adjust immediately to the correct optical distance based on how much you cross ("verge") your eyes. This is called accommodation-vergence coupling, and is the reason why our eyes can adjust to different distances so rapidly.

>In VR, this coupling works against you. In VR, your eyes will still verge naturally for virtual objects at different distances, but now the optical focus won't match that distance, and the object will appear blurry if it doesn't happen to be the exact distance of the fixed screen focus. Say the screen's optical distance is 1.5 meter, and a virtual object is 0.5m away. Your eyes will focus on 0.5m, but the light will come from 1.5m away.

>If you close one eye, accommodation-vergence coupling will no longer work, and your remaining eye will use blurriness cues to adjust focus, and do so correctly.

According to him, glasses-wearers may actually have LESS problems with focus in VR than people with good natural vision:

>With people wearing glasses, where accommodation depends on whether they're currently wearing them or not, the coupling may be more malleable, and the blurriness stimulus might have a stronger impact on accommodation response.

>>388334697
It's expensive.

>>388364247
>his motion controllers actually break when he punches things.
vivelets, when will they learn?

>>388364309
I do wear glasses. Who knew this could ever be a benefit.

>>388364309
can confirm, i have 20/40 vision and vr is great.

>>388363980
>tfw they announced more content even if it's not quite a fully fledged horde mode

Never played a KF game before but this is good, thanks Tripwire.

>>388364486
My rift controller are pretty damn scuffed from playing robo recall. Still in one piece though, thankfully.

>>388364642
>the days of free content are returning.

>>388364309
My eyes aren't the best, but I don't wear glasses. It's not very blurry for me thankfully.

>>388364486
After that accident I've enabled room center marker. Because sometimes in the heat of battle you start ignoring chaperone bounds. Especially when you leap into enemy wanting to punch his face.

Room center always reminds me where I should be for biggest swings.

>>388364309
So basically, what I'm getting is that the reason it's so blurry for me is because my eyes are trying to focus on things like they would in the real world. I need to retrain my eyes to not use vergence as cue, but rely instead on accommodation for focusing. Though somehow that doesn't seem like the best idea...

>>388364247
I'm glad the touch controllers are like knuckle dusters. Or I'd have some broken fingers

>>388364642
They damn well better. Only 4 stages right now and that's it... no difficulty modes or anything. It's fun, it's cool and it's got great graphics but that's not cool for fucking $40. KF2 is $30 and has endless content and playability.

>>388364793
i knocked over one of my oculus sensors trying to punch somebody in the face in echo arena.

>>388364853
>>388364853
Well I basically punched the wall at full strength, felt that controller became lighter and stopped tracking.

Gorn is fucking gruesome and extracts my primal rage.

VR has only really just begun.
Give it time to get a few killer apps and sort out a comfortable and easy control method and it will be amazing. The best controls you have so far are the Oculus Touch.

That being said I just got back from playing a bunch of Robo Recall and fuck me it is ridiculously fun.

I finally scuffed one of my touch controllers too by hitting my desk as I flailed to hit a robot jumping at my face.

>>388365167
When you have depth perception and 1:1 movement even environments feel real. Sometimes I subconsciously try to lean on the walls or place real world stuff on virtual tables.

It's crazy, but brain really is fooled by the 3D and perfect Lighthouse tracking of the headset and controllers.

>>388365346
Wall is load bearing wall and it's painted concrete, so no damage there.
