Not really. I tried out the Oculus Rift two months ago and the demo they had was really cool but there were some things which I didn't like. The first thing differs from person to person, the girl before me had no problems with the Rift but the entire time I used it I felt very disoriented and slightly nauseous. The demo I tried out was the Super Mario 64 castle tour. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxdBhV42JKc) Talking to the guys who had the device, apparently they were going to have a racing demo but during testing one of the guys almost threw up after he did a flip at high speed.

On the topic of the castle tour, I used a 360 controller since they didn't have a treadmill. So because of that, the only thing the Rift did for me was use my head as the second analog stick. I assume that's how most people who buy the Rift or Sony's VR will play unless you want to stick a treadmill in your living room.

The second thing is the novelty fades away after a while, it was really cool the first time I tried it but after experiencing it I think I'd rather stick to being able to sit comfortably, in front of a TV and not have to worry about this thing strapped to my face.

Can I have a wiafu like the one in Jizz Beard's sig? If not then nah I'm not excited. xD lol.



I'd be really excited if they can figure out how to let me play Uncharted like I'm actually in the game, but without letting me run out of breath... That probably won't happen in anyone alive's lifetime, sadly.



I can see it now: me sitting on my couch with a giant ass helmet on while my friends look at me like I'm a moron. This is going to take off like 3d TVs.



it sure is not for the ever fearful "omg people could view me as a moron" crowd

I'm pretty excited, but I'm also aware that with just a single 1080p display the experience won't be flawless and even if the Rift consumer version has a 1440p display that might not be enough to get rid of the "screen door" effect caused by not enough pixel density in the center of your field of view.

I have a pretty weak PC to boot, so the PS4/Morpheus combo probably is the more affordable option for me to own VR, but I fear it can't do all the things I'd like a VR set for (it would be awesome if I could use it as a 3DTV substitute aswell - there already are apps for the Devkit1 Rift that can do that, but again with the set back of low resolutions).

I am excited for VR. I openly admit I love playing games in 3D as well currently. (Doom 3, Crysis 2, Trine, etc.)



Full virtual reality is the end point that all videogames until now have been making the journey towards.

~~~~ Mario Kart 8 drove far past my expectations! Never again will I doubt the wheels of a Monster Franchise! :0 ~~~~

When it finally arrives, THEN I will say the "next generation" has finally begun.



Nothing beats normal gameplay......and I just don't care so I voted the last option.

I don't think it will be very popular.
