Forget 4K Or Switch For A Second: VR Is the Real Revolution

[SvennoJ]

I don't know what games are available on OR or Vive or why it doesn't excite anymore, kinda curious too.

I had a similar experience with 3D before, got bored of it in a few weeks. I actually only played Descent 2 all the way through in 3D. Other games I already switched back to 2D before the end. That was with shutter glasses on a CRT projector, pretty cool experience yet without headtracking the effect wore off very quickly for me. It just felt fake.

I'm having a very different experience with psvr so far. The fov could be better and the screendoor effect is still noticeable, yet the world feels solid. None of this fake 3D where everything stays the same when you move your head. 360 3D videos still look fake to me, yet real time rendered games get the job done. It really feels as if I'm stepping into a different world when I put the headset on.

I just completed Robinson: The journey. 8/10 game to me, going to start another playthrough tonight. The ending was great, made me curse out loud, nice holy fuck moment. Everything feels solid and works like you expect. Hiding behind a fence, lean sideways to look past, or lean in closer to get a better view through a gap. It's these little things that really enhance the gameplay and immersion.

With Robinson I've now completed 7 games in VR, playing another 3 atm and have some more on my wishlist. Sure the initial wow factor is gone, yet the being there sensation has not diminished for me in the slightest.
