I understand certain experiences will be made just for that aspect but I'm more excited about traditional controls mixed with immersive 3D wrap around vision. I find motion controls can be fun but tiring and my main method if playing a game is sitting. If I had to physically swing a sword every time I did that in Skyrim I would have a big mutant steroid arm. i agree the possibilities are exciting though as long as traditional gaming retains it's place. |
Motion controls aren't compulsory with VR. We just dont know if they would let you use the headset like a traditional TV. But even in Vr though you could use your controller. No PC demo of VR has anyway exerting themselves, I think they actually encourage you to be in a seated position. Its the sony version that can use expansive motion controls cause they had a camera and the move controlers.

With one you have optical illusions making it seem as if shit is flying out of the screen towards you, also potentially ruining your eyesight. The other involves having some visor or other dumbass peripheral, strapped to your face, so that you can pretend you're "actually in the game". When you know you're not, and look ridiculous with some shit strapped to your head. Plus, honestly, it could probably also ruin your eyesight. Both of them are wastes of time in my opinion, and I really fail to see why either one garners the excitement from some people that it does. Call me a "traditionalist", but I just want to kick back, relax, and play my game on a TV. How video games were intended to be played. VR is never going to really "catch on" the way stupid 90s movies (and OR fanatics) seemed to think it would. And thank god for that, honestly. |
Then you should be playing on a watch. Thats a very very narrow minded reference. Can't say much else about your post in general, but I will agree wiith you though... maybe you are just a traditionalist.
