The anotomy of a statements that throw out opinion as fact...

No one realy cares about VR gaming...
Yet facebook just spent billions aquiring OR. Sony is heavily invested in VR. But more imporatnatly, how can you guage what people care for or not care for when its not even released in any sort of official capacity.

if the public adoption didn´t spike in the next 2 years
Anyone see what is wrong with this line? First off lets assume he meant to say don't instead of didn't cause at using didn't would mean that he has already seen how public perception did not spike in the next two years, and that is even assuming that either VR tech has the next two years with them being officially on the market for there to be some sort of standard for the public to form an opinion over. But back to (don't), again.. how about we actually wait for there to be actual VR tech and VR content. That you can walk into bestbuy or something and just buy.

 

there is no reason to belive it won´t die... again.
Again? are we talking about the virtuaboy here? Cause I strongly doubt VR has ever been done in any capacity close to how its being done now.

Just outta curiosity... have yu ever tried VR? Be it morpheus or OR. If yes, give us your opinions of the tech. If no, then you saying what you are saying sounds kinda ignorant. If no but you claim yes just to make a point? Then you are a very very very sad person.

Too many verb tense... its confusing.

Making that clear:

Few people (no one in mass market apeal) care about VR gamming right now. More people might care in the future.

If in the next two years VR few people still get interested in VR it won´t catch momentum for the forseeable future.

Companies are spending tons of money in new technologies most of us will never see or heard about. 

No, the last time I used a VR goggles was about 20 years ago with Quake (I think) in a show booth close to my town.

I still think VR doesn´t have much apeal to the majority of people. Not until it´s very cheap and could work on the fly with any media device: from a smatphone to a smatfreezer.

It sounds much easier to me for Facebook to pay a random developer to develop something like Home to get people on board as it is easy for Sony to have something like Home (just read few days ago that the devs who made Home want to make something new) and get Facebook users away from the Facebook "virtual world" to Sony's virtual world.

Facebook doesn't even need an own team for that, just give another company some money to create this world.

I'm btw one of the guys who think VR will have a bright future. Not sure when but the time will come when as example people in nursing homes will sit with such a headset in their room to experience something like walking though a museum instead of lying in the bed and looking on the ceiling the whole freaking day or like one million other things it will be used for...



I think they will both be wildly successful. They will both feature social applications and they will both have gaming support.



VR is a decades-old idea and there's no reason to believe it will be successful now any more than it has in the past.
The biggest problem is motion sickness.



Given Sony competency in servers currently they better not build anything that relies even more on 24/7 availability.

Much better, can't argue with this logic as its extremely plausible. Everything hinges on the bolded part though. However it should be modified to 2 years after VRs official launch. It doesn't matter if in the next 2 years people don't get into VR is the only VR thngs out there are OR SDKs and a still unreleased project morpheus. So technically the VR doomsday clock should start after at least one of them have an offical mainstream product and is marketing and advertising on TV.



Neh... I would rather put my money on FB/Oculus than Sony vr anyday mainly cause Oculus works on PC and sonys one doesn't which is bad imo



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

Could everyone shut the fuck up with regarding to Sony's minor server and financial issues, and vr popularity especially trying to compare it with 20 year old vr which is grasping at straws territory.

Just because microsoft isn't creating a vr platform for xbox doesn't give you guys the right to bring down vr. You guys seem to support kinect a lot <_<

It's irrelevant and it's only derailing this thread.

I'm talking software here and as someone whose tried ps home it really would be a nice social hub for people as well as world creation too.

Sorta like the sims but for vr and integrates social media into it. If Sony could have integrated facebook, twitter, etc... into home they could have a winner on their hands.

Again Just because they canned home doesn't mean they threw away their code. PS4 can easily handle something like ps home and I wouldn't be surprised if they bring it back.



Sony just doesn't have the money Facebook has



Someone of 2008 called. They want their enthusiasm for Playstation Home back.
