The Future of VR

No offense, but your excitement and ideals just serve to throw me off gaming as a whole.

 

The last thing I'd want to see is for everything to be forced into a spectrum that not everyone wants it to be in. The way you talk about what your stock investors told you and what you think is the "perfect" future is nothing more than a future that serves only you, not me or people who think like me either.

Everything doesn't have to be in VR nor made solely for it, nor having all other media forms made to cater to dead last.

I don't know what to tell you, but in life things are going to change, and progression is going to happen. That doesn't mean that old things have to go away. I could give you examples for days on how things have progressed, adding value, and giving people more options, while still keeping the orginal tech and products alive and kicking.

Just because Rockstar takes GTA to VR, doesn't mean GTA like games can't be made on traditional setups. It means instead of Rockstar dumping massive money and talanet on simple tech, instead they throw the best people and money at the most advanced tech available. That leaves the space open for people with a passion for classic gaming to develop games to deliver a nostalgic experience for those that long for the experiences of yesteryear.

I also love getting back to my gaming roots. I love how they are bringing back Crash, Spyro, and Medevil. I waited 20 years for Nintendo to deliver a successor to Mario 64. I want a new Jak game. What I don't want is Naughty Dog and Insomniac utilizing the best talent in the industry to remake classic experiences. Let indies bring these classic experiences with classic controls to the lime light. While the best talent in  the indusrty continue to push the the limit on interactivith, immersion, gameplay, and story telling. Give them the tools to deliver their vision in the least limited form possible.

I am not sure how offering greater value, more options, and advancing the medium serves to throw you off of gaming. You don't want to see an even larger variety of games to choose from? You never want to see an advancement in the ways games are displayed and conrtrolled? You don't want more value from your purchase on your platform of choice, allowing you to stream or natively play your games across more devices and form factors? You don't want games and gaming devices to become more accessible to a large audience? What do you want?

I hope as tech and software advances more people are able to enjoy games they way they prefer, and on the hardware of their choice. I hope we continue to see advancements in the way games are devloped, displayed, and controlled. I hope that in the future we will both be able to enjoy this medium and these experiences in a way we find enjoyable.
