The last fully featured game released on VR is a 3 year old mod of a 21 year old game

This is also the best VR game released to date. It's better than HL:Alyx because it's not afraid to push the player around.

Into the Radius 2 came out last year

I had one since CV1, here is my take
Remember back in ye old times, people ran out of the movies because they thought the train in the movie was coming for them for reals, but after a while the brain was no longer tricked.
VR works the same. The first few months your brain is almost 100% tricked and it feels real. A zombie lunging out triggers a real life dodge. But after a year or so, you learn and that immersion is gone, after which only really basic games remain.

I spend a lot, even had a vr room, but I havent used it in 2 years now.
I dont regret a single investment I made, it was magical tho

To me 120fps is a must for VR for me to get immersed, I'm normally not an FPS whore, I have played sub 20 fps console games, but with VR it's just so essential. The second you have that framedrop and choppiness the illusion gets broken.

It's a fucking amazing illusion when it truly works though

barrier for entry is too high and it's probably a pain in the ass to develop anything but shovelware on

Quest (and VR) is constantly downplayed as a failure while having around 22 million active users.

But where are the fucking games, that's the point

VR on PC is the superior experience but it requires opening multiple programs and at best takes a minute or two to get into a game. When I sit at my computer without VR I can just open a game instantly and play. Get up and walk away without taking a headset off and carefully placing it down or worrying about how the game will react to that.

I love VR but I went from using it everyday to maybe once a week just to play VR poker. If VR headsets were like sunglasses which you just toss on and instantly get into a game, it would completely dominate the industry. That day is approaching quickly.

The fucking vehicle sections are the best part of HL2 VR. The fact so many people get deathly motion sickness from them is a shame, probably means we won't get more of it

Same reason a holodeck that requires you to wear glasses will never be successful. People aren't having it. Bulky shit on your head, technology that is not really ready for the 100% immersion. It's a fad, always will be unless I can plug it into my brain without surgery.

?

Rec Room is free and has some modes with vehicles where you even shoot guns with one hand while steering with the other and it's super popular. There are no training wheels with this kind of VR, it's full on. The days of VR users teleporting around are over, motion sickness is a meme.

VR failed because everyone is too poor to afford it… is what the VRfags would have you believe

MS flight sim, DCS, IL-2, Xplane
american/euro truck sim
assetto corsa, F1, automobilista 2, dirt rally 2.0
derail valley, rolling line, I fetch rocks, wrench

porn

VR failed because there are NO GAMES. That simple.

There are plenty of games, it's not the PC game market though, it's mostly enthusiasts who cough up the $20 to play VR minigolf or whatever. PC games in comparison are incredibly in depth. Something like the Witcher 3 on VR just isn't going to happen unfortunately. I'm not sure why. At least it hasn't yet.

Something like the Witcher 3 on VR just isn't going to happen unfortunately.

because it would be an incredible amount of work to design something bespoke for VR on that scale, and the install base for it is just too small compared to just a regular game
it is a huge risk to dump 100mil into a game that can only be played by a few million people

anything cockpit sim is fairly easily adapted, but FPS introduces a whole can of worms that hasn't totally been standardized/solved like movement, play area, how you interact with walls/ceilings, using objects
the industry needs a few more HL alex like games to be produced and show off exactly how players want to interact with VR before it becomes more mainstream
maybe GTA6 PC release will move the needle if they decide to include VR support, it sounds like GTA5's VR mod is actually pretty good

>the last fully featured game released on VR

What does that mean to be a fully featured game

Because it's an annoying fad and nobody can be bothered using it.

You might as well be asking why more games don't have native 3D support.

Skyrim is on VR and it's basically the same thing

expensive gimmick for grognards (me)

have you played it?

its fucking AWESOME

cocking the shotgun irl while blasting headcrabs is pure sex.

buy a quest 3 and play it nigger

VR took off a while ago. Arcades are back too. Every town has a VR barcade.

I'm playing it right now, honestly it's just kind of making me want to play the normal version

Step aside for the true patricains VR game

it's just kind of making me want to play the normal version

Not him but i agree with it being amazing. I don't want to play the normal version over this anymore. I love pumping the shotty, so goddamn satisfying.

Probably down to personal preference
I like the visual aspect of it but the motion controls simulating actions are really annoying, I really wish reload was just bound to a button, also stairs are really inconvenient. It doesn't add anything to my immersion, in fact it takes me out of the game a little bit.
Also holy shit having crouch/jump bound to up/down on the right analog is extremely fucking cancerous, but I'm playing on the Q3 so there's no other buttons to bind them to.
The vehicle sections are the one part of the game which I think are way better than just playing with M&KB on a normal screen, very roller coaster-y

Bro you cannot just slap him with the per capita like that. That's fukken cruel.

Waking up inside another place like this. A confusion. A jumbled mess.

I tried playing that shit but you're basically locked in from anything fun if you're not willing to pay freemium shit. Not to mention it's full of kids.

Dude I was shocked the other day when driving around town. Old bowling alley place got converted into escape rooms + vr +karaoke shit.
We're a small city too like barely 40k people in the urban area.

uncompatible with glassfags like myself

he doesn't know

I'm not paying 200eur to buy lens that i'll have to swap after 1 year because my vision is pure dogshit

bruh the prices of lenses keep dropping it's like 50 bucks on zenni now
literally no excuses

30% of americans own vr headsets

that seems really high

It’s the same with 3d movies, it’s just a novelty that people may hype for a while but ultimately no one cares.

Don't most headsets come with lenses spacers these days?

you might just need more time in VR. shooters felt like shit till I got strong VR legs, now its hard to go back . also a big play space to actually move around helpts a lot

I love playing VRChat

damn you're right, i remember getting stupid high prices when i checked a few years ago
Yea but all it does is add a bit of space, doesn't help fitting them in and keeping them in place, which is the main issue

there was one VR place around here that sprang up and shut down without a whimper. really bad location, you could have had at most 4 people in roomscale in there, and i doubt they ever maxed capacity. all the barcades around here either shut down or moved as well. there was also an "esports" cafe of sorts down the street that didn't last long. every time i drove past it was empty. it was eventually turned into a spirit halloween.

there hasn't been anything like a traditional arcade here since the late 00s, when millennials nostalgic for their 90s arcade experiences again were finally old enough to have jobs and spending money. vidya games/VR are pretty much seen only as in-home experiences now.

the only kinds of businesses that sorta work like arcades that don't immediately go under are the kiddie shit play palaces that accommodate birthday parties for hordes of 6 year olds and have nothing but those scammy prize machines and arcade ports of mobile phone games, but there was only one of those around here and it's gone now as well.

I don't want to strap a screen to my face

is there any point in getting an index over a quest 3 other than zuckshit?

wait for the deckard

I don't get motion sickness at all, in fact I wish there was more fast jerky movement like the Hoverboat section

Is this bad? I don't think anyone expected VR to fully saturate the entire gaming market very quickly if ever. And there probably won't ever be the one big game that has a lot of marketing power to make a lot of people buy a VR headset because that is just difficult to find the funds to make.

we're going to sell a bunch of copies by first making our entire audience buy a VR headset

If you are thinkin of buying now I would wait for valve deckard like the other guy says.
I paid $600 for the hp reverb g2 and enjoyed Alyx and a few other little neat games but now the crummy program of WMR is ending support. I want to buy a new VR headset eventually thats wireless and just use my PC to stream to it. And metashit I think would be fine but I dont want to regret it. If valve is doing something later and might have individual finger controls like on the index, great. I would want to wait for that.

Alyx was pretty fucking big when it came out

Is this game actually good? Alyx was good because it was polished as fuck in terms of gameplay. Everything you do is fun. Most vr games are clunky as hell, and I just don't want to deal with this shit, not even for "a real game".

Idk about you niggas but personally I don't tell anyone I own anything over 100 bucks.
