6. Many games don't require motion controls. RE7, Skyrim, Borderlands 2, Wipeout and all other racing games, flying games, No Man's sky can be fully played with a normal controller. Even Astrobot and Moss are mostly regular controls. However being able to use you hands naturally opens up tons of new possibilities. While Skyrim worked perfectly fine on a DS4 in VR, with move controllers you could do so much more!

7. You don't need to move your head around but being able to look at things from a different angle is a huge plus point of VR. However if you have a broken neck, you can simply stare ahead and use the regular fps controls in plenty games.

8, There is a reset position button, one click and it's perfectly centered again for where your head is at. You don't need to hold your head in a certain position to play.


I think the main problem with VR is, you need to set it up right and have time to get comfortable with it. Having the IPD set wrong for your eyes for example will diminish the experience a lot already. Otherwise it's like getting dropped into the middle of a Souls game for 15 minutes and then wondering what the fuss is all about. That's the main hurdle VR faces. It doesn't show in ads and demonstrations are not a good way to get a feel for it. Meanwhile the price is way too high to go try it :/


What is a very valid problem, pretty hard to have a drink or snack with a VR helmet on! But I see PSVR2 has a see through mode.

See-through mode uses the cameras on the outside of the PSVR 2 to generate an image of your surroundings, place you in it, and then highlights areas of your surroundings.

Switching between see-through mode is as easy as pressing a button on the headset or through the quick-settings menu via software.

That solves the problem of locating your drink and snacks without taking the headset off. It's still gonna be hard to take a sip with the helmet possibly blocking, yet straws are there when in need :)
