This game would be soo good in VR.
If only they had a view screen way of playing the combat.

Ya is that why the vr sells have done very well, and many top name devs support it? Look, if you can't afford it that is fine, but lying to yourself so that you don't feel left out, we see through your bs.

no i think it willl be gone within a years because the majority of us dont want to wear a head set that completely obscures vision . but your right i am poor and cant afford it . but thats not why ii said what i did . the last great thing 3rd head sets bombed within 2 years and that was supposed to be a revolution too

Really? Majority? That is some bs right here.

Most gamers want VR, some are not happy with the current setup, and waiting for it to get better. Others want it but don't have the funds for it.

Immersion is part of gaming, and VR is the best you will get. No gamer in his or right mind would turn down a tool that makes the immersion part better. That is why in the past virtual boys, movies about VR came out. VR is the dream that gamers had growing up, the 80s and 90s heavily talked about the future. We are living that now.

erm... lol. Its like saying all gamers like fps games. People will still love some specific generes, geners that CANT be in VR. Like sidescrollers, strategic, and others.

I myself dont feel attracted by VR, not even close. Maybe for an ocassional fp game, but not for a general rule.

Sure, immersion is part of gaming, but you can achieve immersion not only playing VR, but with a lot of types of games. And immersion is as well a subjetive matter.

No. VR is not the dream that gamers had growing up. It is just the evolution to fps games, thats all.
I think you watch too many movies.. lol.

And sure STO will be great in VR, but you know people like also to see their ships in the screen. A videogame with the option of those two modes at the same time , achieving quality and immersion will be so much work that i dont see it happening any time soon lol.

No it is not like saying. "All gamers like FPS"

Why do gamers enjoy better graphics? Also all games can be in VR, you have desktop tools to play any game in VR.

Would you like to fool your brain into playing on a Huge screen TV? Sure you can do that.

Would you like a curved screen that is more ScFi tech? You can do that.

Also YES VR is the dream gamers had growing up. I can list how many VR movies, or even nintendo trying to cash in on VR.

Gamers love immersion, and they love options on how to play games. VR lets you play games in new ways. You could play STO on a huge movie threater screen. Or you could do it while looking around in space. The point is that hating on VR is foolish as a gamer. Hating more options? Hating immersion? If you deny basic simple things like this, you can't be called a gamer.

i think i would hate not seeing where my coffee mug is =p . not just that what about a bite from your donut . that would require putting down the controller aswell as removing the head set
coffee and donuts while playing your fav mmo would be a chore =)

A strategy game like RUSE or SupCom would be pretty great in VR. As would god games like black and white or even sim city style management titles. Other strategy games that are more squad based like ground control would work better as there's no resource gathering to deal with.

Major issue would be the controls and for strategy it won't be until we have a minority report style glove interface controller that those will work well, although in a competetive world flat screen with kb&m will always be faster than tapping air.

STO in VR would need redone from the ground up to work well. First person room scale for ground missions would work but doing that for space combat would end up being closer to either what bridge crew is or require a gods eye view and a much less hands on approach looking more like the whitestars holoviewer.

But doing that you'd have the situation where the player would maybe have to drop out of the VR environment to find their seat and possibly even swap controls about. Multiple control schemes for a single game can be a real faff, I use a hotas and dualshock4 for playing ED one for flight and the other for the buggy and in VR you need to make sure to know where the pad is if you want to remain in the world.

VR in the 80's was a proof of concept and its only now that tech is starting to get close to where it needs to be. The headsets are more or less there and its the more the controls that need worked out now, both physical and ingame.

Nem doesn't like VR because he can't afford VR. He spent all of his money getting his chromebook to play STO then whines about the graphics.

We're not the same account, we're just two people who like screwing with a 40 year old man who likes bullying teenagers. You belong in an FBI database.

Holodeck

You're confusing "put you there" with "sponsor." People on the list don't get to make recommendations.
