| Slimebeast said: Thanks for sharing, brother. I am so divided on the VR issue. Without having the opportunity to try it myself I just can't decide if it's amazing or a fad. When you hear stories like the OP or what SvennoJ has explained, you get very excited. But then you ask yourself, if it's so amazing why is VR selling so bad and why aren't there massive amounts of gamers who share the same level of excitement? |
As others have said already, it's mainly price and part availability. It doesn't help that most people can't try it out first and it's impossible to show what it's like without a VR headset.
I already had the camera and move, still ended up spending CAD 1050 on hardware, base headset + pro for the best experience.
The bundle is CAD 699, sold out usually. Headset + camera CAD 625.
PSVR got me interested in Vive too, but it's too expensive for me. CAD 1150 for Vive and I'll need an expensive new laptop or a desktop to run it. If I'm going to spend that much for a PC headset it has to be a lot better. Not pentile display with actually slightly lower subpixel resolution and less comfortable for people wearing glasses (which is me)
There are currently 85k registered players on ReNet playing RE7 in VR, or 9.55% of all players (PC+XBO+PS4). Not a bad start for a hard to get $400+ peripheral. The PSVR bundle is almost twice as expensive as the console itself after all. No clue how many actual sales there are. I know of at least one friend that has psvr yet won't touch RE7 (My wife won't either) and another that won't opt in on any online tracking when possible. Anyway, I haven't heard anyone that wasn't excited about it after trying.

I dont agree in the slightless.As long as the VR device delivers what it is meant to deliver, it can be as cheap as it gets.That argument could also be implemented for consoles.If the big three really wanted, they could have gone for the cutting edge, and made their consoles cost $1000.But since the experience they wanted to deliver was possible with a weaker hardware, they went with the affordable option.The same will be the same for VR.As long as the technology used can deliver the experience they want, they can go as cheap as it is necessary. Now, how long we are until we reach that point, no idea.Maybe it will still take 10 years, but we will reach that day. |
So tell me how you cut down cost.
Cause here is what I see:
-Brand New Next Gen Console or Console Revision = $400 - $500
-Brand New Higher Res VR, better latency, easier to connect = $300 - $400
-Brand New Tracking Equipment, cameras, sensors, ect. = $50 - $100
-Brand New Motion Controllers = $100 - $200
The absolute lowest I can see it going for a completely brand new next gen console and VR system is $800. That is about 20% cheaper than a PS4 Pro + PSVR + PS Camera + PS Move.
No doubt you will be able to buy a PS4 Super Slim + PSVR Slim + PS Camera + PS Move for $500 at some point, but it is not going to be the top quality console and VR experience.
If they treid to make PS5 with all the needed components for VR for $400 it would be a fisher price toy. That wont change in 5, 10, 15 years or ever. The lowest a brand new base console can ever sell for and be anything worth while is $400, and even at that it is going to be very old tech, and no where near the best experience you can get.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
