how do you see the future of VR gaming?

[megalithic_empire]

I'm curious, how do you see the future of VR gaming? What do you think will be the turning point of VR technology?

Idk people like playing games on a monitor/tv with a mic because it feels more connected, VR is a very isolating experience and not mainstream compared to traditional gaming. I dont see it taking over anything for at leat 20 years and then maybe people will be more open to experiencing games in VR, things like the PSVR2 are incredibly niche currently

[GlaceonChireiden]

Nothing more than a niche.

It's expensive, requires a lot of setup (provided you even have the room space for it), and it doesn't have many heavy hitters that aren't just the equivalent of mods for old fps games. Doom VR sounds cool for 5 minutes before you realize just how much the game wasn't built around giving you that kind of freedom with camera control.

It's neat, sure, but it'll never be super popular or replace anything unless it suddenly becomes much cheaper and easier to set up.

I'm waiting until Valve drops a standalone VR headset and a few more good VR games.

You can buy a standalone vr headset for 299 dollars.... the same price as an xbox. You only need an 6x6 square to play in that you won't wack anything.

My nephew loves his VR more than any other game system he has. It doesn't need heavy hitters as long as it pulls in young gamers and builds a base with them much like nintendo did for a lot of kids in the 80-90s.

Times they are a changing bros.

affordable haptic feedback, probably.

[Goldias]

When adult games can use human size controller with vr goggles.

[Candyy]

It only needs to be cheaper and more accessible on consoles to be mainstream

It is a cool technology, I hope it becomes popular

[MoonC A T]

It's cool but needs to be improved to be mainstream

[Fried Brains]

holographic screen, no goggles

[Out Of Bubblegum]

I think I would have to get one of the helmet thingies in order to see the future of VR.

A gimmick that will never replace the real thing.


I would like to try some games out in VR, specifically Beat Saber, but I still feel like I'd rather play games normally on an average day.

Honestly Beat Saber is kinda like Rock Band. You play it for a week, and then never touch it again.

At least that's how it is in our household.

I did lately get into the rhythm games which is why that one got my attention, and I heard its a good workout on top. Well, as good of a workout as having your eyes burning from staring directly at the screen will allow.


Problem is, I wouldn't know what else I'd try. Space Channel is like the original but.... kinda worse? Miku game is also barely a game from what I've heard, nothing like Project Diva which I adore? The library for this genre doesn't look too promising. I'd probably try out the likes of Astrobot or RE7 or even Doom 3 which I've heard wasn't too bad, but yeah nothing other than these managed to get me.

I would start by going through your library of currently owned games and seeing which ones already have VR as an option.

I'll probably play HL: Alyx if it's remastered because graphics are already outdated

I don't like the motion sickness I get from VR. My brain knows its fake, and it struggles to know where I actually am.

I could envision a VR game where I just lay down in a field. Although, I could just lay down in a field.

Only purpose I see VR gaming is for education. Like finding the edible plants amongst poisonous ones in UE5, and identifying the species
