| Slimebeast said: Thanks for sharing, brother. I am so divided on the VR issue. Without having the opportunity to try it myself I just can't decide if it's amazing or a fad. When you hear stories like the OP or what SvennoJ has explained, you get very excited. But then you ask yourself, if it's so amazing why is VR selling so bad and why aren't there massive amounts of gamers who share the same level of excitement? |
As others have said already, it's mainly price and part availability. It doesn't help that most people can't try it out first and it's impossible to show what it's like without a VR headset.
I already had the camera and move, still ended up spending CAD 1050 on hardware, base headset + pro for the best experience.
The bundle is CAD 699, sold out usually. Headset + camera CAD 625.
PSVR got me interested in Vive too, but it's too expensive for me. CAD 1150 for Vive and I'll need an expensive new laptop or a desktop to run it. If I'm going to spend that much for a PC headset it has to be a lot better. Not pentile display with actually slightly lower subpixel resolution and less comfortable for people wearing glasses (which is me)
There are currently 85k registered players on ReNet playing RE7 in VR, or 9.55% of all players (PC+XBO+PS4). Not a bad start for a hard to get $400+ peripheral. The PSVR bundle is almost twice as expensive as the console itself after all. No clue how many actual sales there are. I know of at least one friend that has psvr yet won't touch RE7 (My wife won't either) and another that won't opt in on any online tracking when possible. Anyway, I haven't heard anyone that wasn't excited about it after trying.
