| Volterra_90 said: I completely despise VR, so these are not great or big news for me. I sincerely hope it fails, I don't want to see a gaming world based on VR. Imagine the scene of people playing games in their homes, with other friends, with VR helmets. That's just ridiculous. I always thought videogames are a nice social entertainment, I'm not entirely sure VR could help with that. Well, that's just my opinion. |
I doubt that VR will be popular for local multiplayer situations like you describe. When people have friends around, they will probably rather go for other types of games.
But let's face it, playing local multiplayer video games is the exception, not the default nowadays. I'd say at least 75% of the time people are playing videogames they're not playing local multiplayer, they're playing alone instead.
I believe the same point you made could as well be brought up against online multiplayer.
@all: You know what I find strange? There seem to be lots of people out there who have extremely negative emotions when it comes to VR, at times openly saying that they "hate" VR and hope that it will fail. Why is a simple piece of technology (that they simply couldn't care about if they think it's not interesting) causing such strong negative emotions in them? Where does all that hate come from?
