| IIIIITHE1IIIII said: The fact that people, as well as the media, pay any substantial attention to VR in general is a symptom of the video game industry's sorry state. The simple truth is that developers fail to innovate with new gameplay ideas, and instead resort to the Nintendo strategy. A strategy which proved to be greatly rewarding short-term at best. The Wii U GamePad is seen as clumsy by most core gamers. Yet for some reason we are to believe that they'd be willing to play games under conditions where their entire vision of the outside world is impaired? |
VR if done right, can be much more immersive. Progress in terms of gameplay on a TV has pretty much reached a plateau with even highly praised titles like The Witcher III and Bloodborne not really containing anything groundbreaking(great gameplay though) so VR might be similar to the progression of 2D to 3D titles in the fifth generation of consoles. The gamepad really brought nothing new to the table, VR can.
Of course, consumers will dictate with their dollars if VR takes off or not.
