Those people sound just as ridiculous like you when you’re saying it’s not “there yet”. Everyone who says this after playing a round of Moss or Wipeout in VR is lying to himself.

Believe it or not, just because there are some people exaggerating and overreacting you don’t need to be the one to constantly counteract.

I remember this guy. He’s the one Potato is constantly complaining about even though he is acting similarly extreme. As far as I know this guy has long been banned.

Edited for formatting reasons.

If it’s more than twice of what the competitors have sold, it’s somewhat respectable. It’s a constant growth which ensures trust in the market, especially with an adoption rate that high for games.

I don’t get why some people here act as if it must set the world on fire at the first try. Especially since everybody knows how hard it is to market VR. People just don’t get it without trying it.

Oh yes it does. I’ve been gaming for 36 years. By today’s standards gaming back then was incredibly clunky, terrible sound and graphics, huge lag, bad framerates etc...Do you think gaming would’ve developed in such a way if everybody would have complained about it “being not there yet”? 

From my perspective after these 36 years today’s VR is nothing short of a miracle. Sure it will develop and there’s still a lot of room for improvement, but it’s totally legit! Finally. And I don’t understand the negative attitude some people seem to have towards it.

This fits exactly my last sentence. Why do you act as if it was stealing something from you? It’s a new, additional way to play...not a replacement.

There are plenty of games being released I'm not one that is greed to the point to think every game should be developed for me. There are plenty genres and devs I don't look after and don't care that they don't make a product I like.

Now if Sony stopped doing SP narrative games I would be sad because there aren't many options with similar quality.

I have gamed for 30 years and I agree with your sentiment. The problem here is that we already achieved such a high level in game polishment and pretyness that is hard for many to enter VR on its infancy and see a drop in the visuals as a cost of everything else they are gaining.

I have dreamed with VR for like 20-25 years already (wanted so badly to buy Nintendo attempt thought at the time that it was perfect immersion) we have been spoiled. I want one day we can have just a small wire tapped to our head (or less than that) where we can game inside our brains without any constraints on controller mapping, display limitation, body motion need, etc.

I don't see what you're trying to get at here. PSVR selling 3 million in 22 months isn't exactly great. I point this out in this thread, VR fans swoop in, call me a hater, tell me to get lost, and start attacking me and others who don't see this as a great sign either. You know, the same thing they've done in dozens of threads before this one. So, I change gears and start pointing out the hypocrisy of a group of people who dare to challenge the credibility of others regarding VR when they haven't exactly been credible about it themselves.

So why do I care? I don't. I just think it's pretty funny to watch people act like PSVR is the pinnacle of gaming as we know it today, and it's taking the industry by storm, when  that's clearly not the case.

You do realize you're one of those people who are exaggerating and overreacting, right? You literally just did it in the bolded above.

Sony hasn't said the PSVR has "exceeded their expectations" since a few months after release when they set a goal of selling a million units in the first six months, and they sold 900K in four months. It then took them another four months to sell 100K, so they actually missed their goal.

There's a difference between wanting a VR version of GTA, and saying something along the lines of "Rockstar should do the right thing and make the next Grand Theft Auto a VR exclusive". How is 3 million outside the realm of niche? Sure in terms of a particular game, but manufacturers have sold millions of racing wheels for consoles and PCs alike over the years, and no one would say that racing wheels aren't a niche market.

My analysis isn't a fallacy. The PS4 pro plays all PS4 games except they're enhanced. The PSVR plays all PS4 games (even if its only in theatre mode) and games the PS4 pro. The PS4 with a PSVR has a bigger library than the PS4 Pro without VR, not a smaller one.

I don't have any idea what you mean by your last sentence.

He overreacts on everything. His comeback for whenever someone disagrees with is him is "you don't know what you're talking about" or "you haven't even played x game/console" or "you're lying to yourself" or "you're a fanboy/hater", in an effort to devalidate opinions that differ from his own.

I do remember when they were saying the market wasn't growing fast enough they were also saying they were selling very good.

One person wanting GTA VR is indicative of mainstream? He also wants PSPhone and PSPortable all playing the same game as PS5. You being so dismissive of PSVR is much worse than he dreaming of these scenarios.

Playing in theatre mode doesn't really enhance a game (even if I have played a lot in it) since you get much lower resolution than on PS4Pro so there wouldn't be really a benefit to expending extra money on it.

My last sentence was for someone saying he didn't want VR gaming to become mainstream as a fear of losing games because of it, not sure why it showed as answer for you as well.

At least the Wii U can say it beat something, even if it was only a peripheral, lol

Well both beat Nintendo Virtual Boy =p
