But to become perfect, it needs financing, which means it will eventually need sales. Lots of them. But to get lots of sales, it needs to be perfect... But to becomes perfect, it... ...yeah. Personally, I find the technology impressive, but nobody has yet made anything on it that didn't strike me as experimental and gimmicky. Much like motion controls, it's not much of a revolution if I'm super impressed for five minutes, before naturally returning to my computer screen to play games the old fashioned way. To be a revolution, I need to take those goggles off and feel like "...I can never go back to playing on a screen ever again..." |
Color tv wasn't perfect when introduced, probably expensive with little content and distorted low res colors.
It doesn't need to be perfect to become popular.
I have already played a bunch of games to completion in VR. (Rez, Thumper, Wayward sky, Tethered, Tumble, DriveClub) and am comitted to Bound, Robinson, Windlands and Eagle flight. I don't want to go back to playing on a screen again, my projector has not been used for games since October 13th. (Actually only to compare what benefits the pro brings to 1080p gaming, negligible, benefits to psvr are 100x bigger)
I'll be back to screen gaming for TLG, yet I don't feel like playing anything else on a screen again. FF15, Watch dogs 2, Dishonered 2, interest zero. Being in the world beats watching it like a movie. I wonder if everyone that complains about games just getting more cinematic and formulaic has been running out to buy vr. Or just complain while sticking to the same old games...
