People will never learn that 3D and VR are gimmicks, have always been gimmicks, and always will be gimmicks. Every time some new evolution of these retarded concepts comes along people get all overhyped and insist it'll finally be huge this time, and then within a couple of years people are right back to not giving a shit and watching/playing stuff normally.

Interesting opinion. Now, have you actually tried VR?

my roommate has a htc vive

The only thing holding me back is there not being a decently sized lineup of good games designed around the hardware. Also I wish the things covered your peripheral vision and had wider FOV. I was mildly disappointed the first time I used one and realized how tunnel visiony it was.

>>389349490
4 years early is right. They needed to get some games out and let the next cycle of GPUs come out.
I bet they didn't really anticipate the mining shitting on gpu prices though.
90fps both eyes is hard, and a lot of VR games use very low graphic fidelity because of it.

The problem with 3d and VR is that it's primary consumers are fucking retards. And retards don't make as much money as they cost.
>muh 3d
There's plenty of ways of tricking the brain into perceiving depth in a 2d image. Depth-of-Field manipulation and parallaxing work wonders.

One of the most immersive games I've ever played was Fallout 1. It's called a fucking imagination.

No, they don't, you retard. You're still focusing on a flat display with a 2d image, and that's exactly what it feels like.

>>389350332
jesus christ what a fucking retard

>>389350494
What do you think all of these
>muh 3d
shit are?
Flat 2d displays. Your brain is being tricked into perceiving depth by showing your eyes 2 different images. But the depth you are perceiving isn't actually there. If it looks 3d it's because you're the kind of person who thinks the different colored Frootloops all have different flavors.

>>389346156
Expensive, requires a sizable amount of space to set up, takes an hour and a half to set up/take down so it's not even a great party distraction, most of the games are just some kind of demo/gimmick due to the movement constraints, and you have to constantly be mindful of getting tangled up in the stupid cable behind your head.

It's just far too much hassle for what is at this stage, ultimately just a novelty.

Nothing really, it's just too expensive right now, but it's going to get adoption in about 1-2 years. I actually tried both VR headsets in my university and there's practically no difference in quality except that Rift has better controllers. What I can say is that yes this tech is actually good shit, it has a shitload of potential, it's just that devs are too retarded and uncreative to properly utilize that potential. Something like Black & White would be perfect for the current VR, yet we keep getting these worthless teleporting puzzle/shooter story shit.

>>389351046
Thanks for admitting defeat.

>>389351021
Nice arguement. We know for a fact the next line is coming out within a years time. We know for a fact that the current prices will drop, based on the fact they have already, and the fact the price will lower when better models are up for grabs, its how the market for LITERALLY ANYTHING works.

>>389351105
The prices were lowered because the early buzz about the next model started to surface, so they have to clear inventory now because only poorshits will touch v1 of VR when v2 comes out.

>>389350976
Doesn't matter at all, you only have to give someone one try-out at a store and they will be hooked, VR isn't the 3D gimmick shit that does nothing.

A peripheral to produce a stereoscopic effect when viewing a 2D game is not a game having 3D graphics, so I'm not sure if you thought you were making a point there.

Selling 2.24 million units is pretty low my dude.
Plus there were standalone versions of the Sega CD made (Genesis CDX)

VR won't become standard until Nintendo makes a real VR machine and other companies copy it. Consoles are the leaders in home electronic innovations and until VR is cheap enough to be included in the console, it won't be standard.

The 2.24 million is the lower part of an estimate. Some estimates have been as high as 6 million. Nobody knows how many Sega sold, particularly since you as mention there were combined units like the CDX out there.

Also, that's not a bad amount considering that to be a Sega CD customer you had to 1) Already own a Genesis and 2) You had to stump up DOUBLE the price of the base Genesis unit for the CD model. Yes, an add-on that cost twice the base unit.
