Gaming Discussion - Why VR? - View Post

I think for people that have tried it, they see the huge amount of potential in the tech. As someone who has played a few different games on the Rift and the Galaxy Gear, I can safely say it really does completely change the way certain games play. War Thunder for instance transforms from something I don't really play to a game I would absolutely buy a VR headset for.

As for VR content, there are already 197 games with native support for Oculus Rift... that's without a consumer product. Most consoles don't release with this amount of support.

In terms of market, we have at least four major companies building devices with varying amounts of content; Samsung, Oculus (Facebook), Valve/HTC and Sony. It may not hit mainstream right away, but that's pretty much how tech evolves. It only needs to hit a customer base where the products sell enough to break even and support a growing developer base.
