It will definitely change the games that we play and the way we play them.

This recent poll shows 3rd person is by far the popular way to play games

I doubt 3rd person will work very well in VR.

I've heard from a couple different sources that 3rd person works very well in VR actually.  

Seems hard to imagine, as you usually rotate the camera around the character. In VR your head movement controls the looking around part which would be very odd if that made 'you' swing around the character. I guess you can at least move your head side to side trying to look around the character in front of you.
