It is part of it, if the content is good.
The tech is here, for sure, RE7 for example, is so terrifying that it is almost unplayable to me.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

It's not just limited to gaming. It will be the future of entertainment industry. If even porn industry can achieve huge success with VR, i dont see why other industry cant. The one main reason why i think film industry has not adopted VR yet is because the resolution is pretty low.



You hit the nail on the head. There isn't mass appeal especially with price barriers that are currently there.  Add that with the fact that you look like a dumbass when you put a VR headset on.



No. Gaming has always been something you can do at any time, comfortably, without any stipulations. VR introduces products that you must use that have hardware in them that isn't necessarily the best to play for extended periods of time. I've spent a great amount of time with Oculus and Vive and I could only play for an hour or so before I started getting light headed. I have played a single game for numerous hours on end. I can't do the same for VR comfortably.

The tech may be improving, but humans are humans. We know when things aren't comfortable to use for a long period of time. The headset thing just isn't for me either. It's amazing tech, but hardly the future of extended gaming. Imo, it's still a novelty.



I think it still has potential, but the price is too expensive to fully take off

It will exist with traditional gaming, but it won't replace it. Movies and other uses for VR, I can definitely see becoming more popular.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

I hope so. At least parallel with regular console/TV gaming.



nope



Big buttocks..es are the future of gaming. Nier Automata is the beginning.



Hunting Season is done...

Yes, porn games will ensure that.



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.
