VR was touted as a big deal in here since at least a year back, I've maintained that it's too expensive and not nearly well enough implemented to make any difference in traditional gaming and that sales overall would be slow. That still seems to have been a correct assumption, even the cheap smartphone glasses have only sold a few million worldwide (these are like 30-50$ a piece). VR is too soon, mainstream hardware isn't really close to good enough to properly utilize it either yet, which further decreases the value. |
It's expensive and a bit of a niche product for sure. However, the appeal of VR is huge. It really turns games into experiences and people who usually don't care about video games, totally love it when I show it to them. One thing's for sure, though, after playing the Resident Evil 7 demo in VR it's hard to go back to "normal" games. The feeling of immersion is no doubt the biggest leap in gaming I've experienced since 3D graphics.
