You’re putting words into my mouth (like it’s so mainstream) and are still using exaggerated numbers. That’s not how I’m going to continue discussing with you. It’s become clear what your agenda is. Farewell.

 


I'm not putting words in your mouth. You're treating the PSVR as if its much more popular than it actually is.

Which numbers am I exaggerating?

You must be confusing me with habam, I'm actually pretty confused by the thread title myself. You are clearly not exaggerating though, but downplaying the PSVRs success this whole thread through.

Zero chance. It is not possible.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

I think it will be VR ready, so I picked yes. I also think the controllers will be detachable hybrid between motion and if even simply two seperate "cons" I think, ever since the Wiimote and nunchuck, this is the best and most relaxing way to play games. I think, hopefully at least, they will be able to keep the headset costs down to near 99 quid if not spot on that number and the barrier to entry for VR will be much, much lower.
I think the console will be molded around the VR aspect with software things like VR browser support (for easier porn access without having to blatently advertise it), a dedicated VR dashboard/xmb and perhaps the return of PS home in VR fashion. If not Sony will truly be missing on on the great opertunity they have here to grasp a firm hold (something they are already doing) into the VR market.
Perhaps we will see a mad boost on PS5's release, after having the pleasure of playing 32 VR games since mid december, this is no gimmick, this is the true way to play games. Thank god for VR and VR porn.

I don’t know how you could possibly vote yes on this. I would bet my life, my family’s life, and my fiancée’s life on it not being VR only. It’s just not gonna happen.

I wouldn't say I'm downplaying it, I'd say I'm taking a more grounded opinion on it. All I've been saying VR isn't anywhere close to mainstream, and we shouldn't be treating it like it is.

Sony has been doing pretty much everything in it's power to make VR successful since it was announced in 2016. If sales continue the way there are, there might actually be a lower percentage of PS4 owners that own a PSVR at the end 2018 than there was at the end of 2017.

VR only? No

Have the option to play VR? Yes.

More options = better.

Unless the price of VR comes radically down in just a few years or some VR standard becomes extremely widespread, there's absolutely no chance it's going to be a VR-only console.

No. There are games that are not suited to or pointless in VR. Classic split screen will always be a selling point for some and old games won't disappear over night.

Most of all, not everyone enjoys VR. I'm a heavy VR enthusiast and also still play without VR. Both can co-exist on the same console, like handheld and tv mode on the Switch. Some games might be able to be enjoyed both ways, some VR only, some screen only (or virtual theater)

Anyway I'm looking forward to psvr 2.0, better resolution, easier setup, stable tracking, controllers with analog sticks, lighter, not hampered by base ps4. I think we'll be stuck with the wire for a while as even though you have wireless solutions, you now have to carry a battery as well. I rather have a lighter headset with a single cable. Perhaps it could be wireless with the option of plugging in a mobile battery pack, an adapter cable, or straight to the ps5 for best picture.

EmuVR has you covered for a social experience with classic games. (And surely split screen)

That's not for me. I love VR yet it's not comfortable enough to put the helmet on for 2D games. I tried it with psvr (played Life is strange on it) and it just feels pointless. Granted I have a 1080p projector to play those on so the view with or without the headset is virtually the same, except much sharper on the projector of course. Yet even if the resolution was better, I still can't comfortably lean back on the head rest with the helmet on.

Social experiences however are much better in VR. Star trek bridge crew was already amazing with the crude avatars. Simply being able to look at the person you're talking to and use hand gestures is so much better than talking to thin air.

The PS5 better have a dedicated VR port or I will be disappointed. The breakout box is annoying, as well as the camera setup (best is still on a couple boxes in the middle of the room, far from ideal). Yet once it works and you have time to play for a while you don't want to take it off.

No..VR I can't see how it will never be mainstream so long as ppl have to put big stupid headsets on their face
