All VR. If you haven't tried it you will say "Eh, it's a gimick", if you have tried it you will believe this is going to stick and become the norm (if not gen 2 being a VR/AR hybrid) or you are way to prone to motion sickness, it's not for you. I'm hoping gen 2 has camera's on the fron't and an internal operating system/menu. I'm in either way once I can find somewhere that hasn't sold out.

I have tried it and I don't see it lasting at all. The few games I sampled it looks cool at first and it gives a quick satisfaction that starts fading away after 20 minutes. The reason the excitement fades away is because you start noticing that you have a heavy set on your head and the  extremely big goggles start getting out of place after moving so much making them uncomfortable. I doubt anyone will sit down for hours with that thing on, much less finish a complete game like Call of Duty or Final Fantasy The VR set at most will be, just as other people have said, a Wii Mote or Kinect. You can use it for short sessions and then put it down and move on to playing without it.

I don't have time for 3 hour game sessions anymore, an hour at the time at most. If VR can make that more interesting then perfect. Going away into a Myst like game for an hour a night sounds very inviting to me. Yet who knows, this sounds very promising: Sony's efforts here put them at the head of the pack - a great reminder of just how good quality Japanese design can be. I wore the PSVR headset for almost 12 hours straight during one day in putting together this review and felt no kind of stress, pressure or headache at all from the hardware. source Perhaps playing through a big rpg for multiple hours will be fine too. Sure, you'll put down the move controllers, grab a regular controller, recline comfortably and play at your leisure, looking around a bit with headtracking only.
