With the Oculus Rift and now the Sony rumors of a VR headset, I began to wonder if anyone cares about virtual reality gaming.

Personally, I see it as the 3D TV of the gaming world. Remember a few years back when all the TV manufacturers bet on that?

I have no interest in strapping a TV to my head now. Then again, I have no interest in other big gaming trends like Minecraft or Twitch broadcasting.

I definitely won't write VR gaming off before I've tried it. A lot of those who've tried Oculus seem to be positive so I'll look forward to try Oculus Rift or PlayStaion VR in the near future.

Very much. Not for most genres, but for things like Star Citizen and other space sims, it's a perfect match.

If someone else does it, you won't buy it?

OT: No. Motion sickness in a HUGE problem for me, the only way I can play VR games is if I take a dramamine before a game session...

For virtual sex games, yes! For anything else, not really... it would be a fun thing to try but maybe not buy

I dont have a gaming rig right now,  nor do i have an Xbox or WiiU.  It would be rather foolish to buy a VR set for another system that i do not own lol

I'm indifferent. I don't have too high expectations for the quality of VR headsets right now, but if it looks like a good experience when they launch then I might be interested.

VR is a waste of time imo.

Too bad these headsets aren't really VR, they are pretty much just sitting really really close to a tv.

only if the tv could recognize your head and would move to the right and left if you would look to the right or left. even if your tv would recognize your head it wouldn't help since the tv is on a fixed position. it's a totally different experience and not only like sitting close to a tv to see nothing as the screen.
