| Netyaroze said: VR is not just a gaming application. Its the future of everything. VR will melt together with the real world in AR and at some point far in the future replace reality. But overdramatizations aside. The reason is it changes gaming fundamentaly even in its crude current state its as big a transition as 2D to 3D. I was around when Mario 64 came and the awe I had playing Half Life 2 in VR was atleast as strong as when I was playing a proper 3D game in this case Mario 64 for the first time. The immersion is so unbelievably big it can not be escaped. Any comparison with 3D TV is a joke as VR is not even in the same ballpark experience wise. Ofcourse the technology with the first iterations is not going to be good enough to convince alot of people. Its a technology in its infancy. I cant wait for 2030 when all sceptics will accept the inevitable futúre of VR. Some people might still yell about the new generations and their stupid evil VR hobby. But it will be the minority |
I think this is something that a lot of people that haven't tried it don't get which in many ways could also be its greatest negative. With 3D it was easy to demonstrate how much of a jump in realism and immersion it was when compared to 2D. VR adds a completely new dimension to gaming but a lot of people that haven't tried it aren't going to "get" it.
