I can only see VR being useful for racing games and exclusive VR visual novel/games.

Space Sims are also perfect match for VR.

True that also there could be a new resurgence of survival horror adventures. I was wrong all is in the hand of devs to use VR hardware I just don't think it works well with current genres like FPS but devs could create new genres fit for VR.

Indeed. My view on the whole thing is that it works best with games where your character is moving via some vehicle, preferably sitting. That is what you do anyway when you're playing the game, so there is much less discrepancy between yours and your avatar's body. That's why I see sims as best match for VR at this stage of development (of course, patiently waiting for holoband like tech from Caprica ;)
