I think the biggest obstacle of VR is the wires, I would use my PSVR a lot more if weren't for the hassle of the wires.

imo wires is the least likely to go away completely next gen as the bandwith requirements for much higher res screens would be immense with wireless connections already struggling to deliever the bandwith/ping/stability gen1 HMDs need and additionally a big enough battery + a super high end antenna add cost/weight

but atleast it could come down to a single thin cable for the headset itself as inside-out-tracking doesn't need an external cam for tracking and the "processing box" should be done away with

I really hope VR is improved and expanded upon for gaming,mainly for PSVR's future. I've really enjoyed some of the experiences ive had in VR and can see the huge potential to it down the road with more improvements

There is movement on psvr with the DS4 or the gun thing, both have issues though. I kept swapping between DS4 for run and gun, and the gun thing (what's the name) for big battles. Clearly it was designed for teleportation and ported to movement as a lot of things don't make sense.

The vive controller at least has a defined way to hold them with clear buttons. New people can't even figure out which way is up on move, especially not with the headset on.
Some games show you the boundaries of the play area on psvr, most do not though.

Did you play Fallout on Vive? I played Skyrim on psvr for 130 hours with full locomotion and dual move controllers. Once you have it dialed in it works pretty good. However it does fumble now and then with the bow when you're pulling the move back in front on the headset. The ps4 doesn't like the lights overlapping. Comfort level was fine, only in the tilted ship did I feel some nausea. Everything tilted at 30 degrees in VR while sitting straight on a couch feels very wrong.

Immersion level is great though. My 6 year old couldn't stand the lost bear already, too scary. It's a 2D platformer playing out on stage while you watch it in a theater that changes around you. Some things come out of the play area towards you, that was too much lol.

My favorite game to introduce people is Wayward sky. It has a fun play area in the menu select section and is a simple point and click game. Or let them watch Allumette as you can walk around the set and look in and under things as the movie plays out. No controller needed.

Yep, there is still a lot to improve. Which makes the current HMDs kinda disappointing but gets me more excited about future high end VR. I just hope VR support will survive until we reach that high end in a few years.

I played fallout on my vive pro. It's a blurry mess that ran really bad. The framedrops caused motion sickness. When I reached the vault, it was pretty unplayable for me. I got a refund. I desperately need a gpu which is way faster than the gtx1070. It would probably work fine with the normal vive. But the vive pro takes a lot of ressources. Nevertheless, as far as I have seen, fallout is a bad VR game which could be soooo much more. There are some videos oon youtube which take fallout 4 vr apart. Havn't tried Skyrim, though.

So, this makes me thinking when people say that they wait for higher res HMD's. Higher res will need way more power and that power could take some years until it is here. Or rather, a lot of money. As of now, I enjoy what's currently on the market and upgrade when the time is right. 

@Viv,

I really hope that VR will survive in order to see the next gen. Development is pretty strong. The gaming market is not the only field where it will be used. 

I'm very sure VR support will survive on PC even if gen2 turns out to be very expensive or a smaller leap than expected resulting in a bit of a market contraction

while PSVR seems to be doing better right now it probably wouldn't survive less successful/stagnant gen2 sales (if we even get gen2)

You're still missing the biggest obstacle in VR. Price. VR needs to solve all of the problems you listed above, and -  be less than $300 including the system. Since the highest volume of consoles are sold consoles are sold when the console hits a price of around $500 or less, that doesn't leave much room for VR.  This means that a VR headset that is comfortable to use for the vast majority of users for hours has to pretty much be the same price as a PS4 or X1 controller. Is that happening in the next generation or so? I highly doubt it.

Your suggestions for VR games is laughable. IF VR needs to be effectively forced onto users to gain mass acceptance, then it's not ready for the mainstream. Making a VR exclusive AAA mainline game is very clearly and obviously just a great way to light money on fire. If you make tournaments VR-mode only, thats a great way to ensure low tournament attendance. There is zero incentive for any franchise to eat the shit sandwich of going VR exclusive on any game that is that typically makes buckets of cash. None of those studios should be VR focused, they should be "making the best, most enjoyable game possible focused". In industry has clearly dictated that at this time that does not involve VR in any way, shape or form.

Also, it;s pretty ignorant calling non-VR video games "retro", considering PSVR headset sales appears to have decreased year over year so far. PSVR sales this year have been so bad that Sony has started obfuscating its sales with other products in its annual sales reports. VR is dwindling at the moment, not flourishing. And please, spare me any arguments mentioning how much VR was mentioned in Sony's E3 conference, because I'll just remind you how much the Vita was mentioned in last year's conference.

So.. Valve released a game for their VR Knuckle Controllers to test the features.
