So it seems a lot of ps4 fans are in support of 15 year old virtual boy technology, but consistently call Kinect gimmicky and stupid. I can't be the only one that sees a contradiction.

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...

VR is not going to have motion sickness. The reason it does right now is because it is low quality. There is a disconnect between what you're seeing and what you're feeling.

Less latency and higher resolution will do wonders. Oculus Rift will be a "no motion-sickness experience."

The Future of the Rift” at the Gaming Insiders Summit today in San Francisco. He said the combination of improving screen quality and decreasing latency between motion in the game and virtual-reality vision will make the new class of games — or at least the ones not designed to cause motion sickness — nausea-free.

The CEO used his own experience to back up the claim: His own company’s previous hardware made him sick within two minutes, every time he tried it in the past. But with the latest internal build of the Oculus Rift, Iribe said he played for 45 minutes straight with no issues.

Meh I'll believe when I see it. I tried the Oculus Rift once on a video convention in my country and holy hell I almost vomit. I'm really sensitive with motion sickness, so it has to be literally perfect for me to not feel sick at all.

Currently I'm indifferent towards it. If it's done in a cool way though I would become interested in it.

Not for me. Isn't true VR. Just 3d tv strapped to your head, since the player is stationary.

I think most people have to try it before they can comment. I tried Occulus Rift at a convention with no preconceived notions about what to expect and was sold on the concept almost instantly. Easily the highlight of the show when PS4 and X1 were there and had yet to be released.

VR will be the true next gen experience imo, although good VR will probably be limited to PC for a while unless Sony has some impressive tech on offer with the PS4 headset.
