We'll see. Shooters are still the most popular, COD or GTA online in VR could persuade many people. Perhaps VR can give an advantage too in Fifa and Madden, better overview of the field, greater awareness what's happening, easier to select players through headtracking. The only thing holding it back is the low resolution for text. Menu screens are a bottleneck. Then again, gamers are most resistant to change, so adoption rate will be low for a while! |
Wait, how is VR Cheaper than surround sound? You can get quality 5.1 surround systems for $150-$200. I got a Logitech Z5500 surround sound system for $200 years ago, and prices have only gotten better. You can even get wireless systems for less than price of a PS VR. It's just as likely we'll see technological advancements that will make speaker technology more affordable as we will to make VR more affordable. And easier to set up? Since when is speaker wire complicated? Home theatre systems are literally plug and play just like VR systems, and there's no calibrating required like there is with VR.
You can already use PS VR without a TV after the inital set up. Besides, I don't see how that's going to make VR more popular. What is the likelihood someone who is interested in VR doesn't own a TV or a monitor with an HDMI input?
