| LegitHyperbole said: I hope you're right about VR sticking around. It's too cool to have it die or get shelved til the future. Ya have to admit though, the games start to get really samey. It's like... Puzzles... shootings gallery...experience fishing/water rafting/climbing... here's an on rails shooter. Such a revolutionary technology should have revolutionary software. |
The revolutionary part is how you experience and interact with the games.
The problem with hybrid games is that they're all made for TV and controller (thus limited to one handed protagonists with a fixed perspective)
The problem with made for VR games, no budget to make something revolutionary / too risky.
The problem in general is, every new game still needs to cater to new comers who don't have their VR legs yet. Next to there not being all that much experience yet developing in VR.
And then there are the gamers, who are very conservative when it comes to new games. Most want something they already know. Thus making it even more risky to try new game play.
VR has a lot of hurdles to overcome.
It will come, VR is only in the second generation, Atari 2600 / Intellivision level. Nothing has even been standardized yet. Basically still at the port Arcade games to console level, port existing games to VR.
