No - not hilarious. 

The Virtual Boy was a piece of shit. Were there proper 3D games back then? 3D engines? NO.

You've never used VR have you? I suppose the people who have actually tried it and said that it adds immeasurably to the gameplay experience are all wrong.

And you need to go check the definition of gimmick.

This is not a gimmick. You people who imagine that you won't have money for a headset and are therefore making so much noise should STOP.

What's your agenda!? The FACT is people freak out when they play OR because it's an amazing new experience. And the OR was very low res and low quality. This is going to be incredible. 

Do you remember when HD tvs came out and the same shit was happening!?

It's still a gimmick. Gimmicks can be fun, though.

The only one freaking out is you. I have no agenda.  I just believe if 3D TV, 3D Blu-ray, and 3D video streaming still haven't caught on, it's silly to believe VR will catch on in the mainstream.

I don't recall anyone calling HDTV a gimmick...



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

I'm thinking that this gen will give us an idea if it's even a viable format, but I do not think that it will be technologically advanced enough, made high quality enough and be affordable enough to become a big thing for this gen of systems.  3D in movie theaters has been huge for a while now, but is not becoming mainstream in homes.  Look how long it took/is taking for HD tvs to become commonplace.

Not that it can't be the thing of the future for gaming, but I don't believe it will be right for the gen that is now in place.

Not trying to be funny or side track here BUT....in all honesty I could see this being huge in the.........porn industry O_O....and if done right maybe video games as well lol

I would prefer AR.

look around the forums at the VR threads, youll notice a trend.
fanbase of systems without it are almost unanimously trash talking it (no surprise there)
systems with it are 50/50.

O_o Kinect was the fastest selling blah blah blah of all time. NO ONE thinks it will reach those levels.

Mass market success isn't the point here AT ALL.

A massive step in videogaming is the point.

It's not about it becoming majorly successful.

It's about VR being a much more immersive way to play games. And you all are playing it down even though the experience it self is a true next step in gaming. 

This also has nothing to do with 3D TV. VR is a major leap in playing videogames. That you will come to learn is a fact. HD was also a major step in (console) gaming,

Way to go for embracing the future people
