Forums - Gaming - This is why VR is a game changer.

watch the GameSpot preview analysis of project Morpheus GDC demos here...

Now the thing to really notice, see how they describe themselves in the first person while talking about the games, and how even the most simple gameplay mechanics like loading a gun has a conlkeyeky different feel. Great video.

I'll definitely be getting this if the pricing is right. I also hope they port over remastered versions of the Time Crisis and Police 911 games.



If its too expensive then it will sell very little. Right now its still a niche product and I'm not sure if that's gonna change in the next few years.

The Heist does look impressive :)
I cant wait to see what else they might show in the future, second half of 2016 is still a long time.



I like the look of Skyworld on Valve's Vive and what VR could do for Strategy games, the trackpads they use with the wand like devices seem to be pretty accurate too.

Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

VR is definitely a game changer... but I don't think it will be any time soon

I hope not.



It will definitely change the games that we play and the way we play them.

This recent poll shows 3rd person is by far the popular way to play games

I doubt 3rd person will work very well in VR.



Hopefully, Project Morpheus will be priced well enough for most people to afford the technology. A bundle with the VR headset should help, as well. Millions already have the PS4 camera and Move, so that is also a plus.



I actually don't see VR in the foreseeable future being a major force in the common gaming consumer experience. There will be a niche who will buy in, but I think at best it will be the new Kinect: enter with a bang and fade with a sigh.

However, I do think VR has a place. For example, I think that arcade-like locations could be built around this. A VR center where you could pay a set amount and have a set time to play VR games. Like a competitive Valkyrie tournament or Hawken. You could have shorter story driven experiences that sort of travel around locations, which wouldn't be hard to do since the sites could just download them.
