StaceyPowers Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 There is so much hype right now about how VR is going to be a huge deal in the future for gaming and everything else. But I can’t help thinking that the technology still seems too clunky to ever feel comfortable enough for extensive use. Do you think VR is over-hyped, or going to be as big as people say?

killamch89 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 VR is still in its infancy and has progressed much since its introduction in 2016. I'd be inclined to agree with you that VR is so overhyped. AR has been making some good progress but VR has been for the most part pretty stagnant and I can't see that changing anytime soon.

Reality vs Adventure Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Comfort is definitely going to be an issue. Metaverse has come out with VR gloves and are making body suits. I think they are focusing too much on physical interaction and not enough on graphical quality. But I don't think it's overhyped. It's the future of gaming and something that can't be stopped. The most I've ever been scared playing a game was Exorcist Legion VR for Oculus. What concerns me now though, is the future experiments that will be done on animals in order to master VR potential. Elon Musk now has to face an animal rights investigation for his Neuralink experiments on monkeys. Let's hope this kind of thing is not the consequence for our entertainment needs, and we experiment responsibly. Because I have no doubts VR will eventually get more and more physically involved with our brains. Right now it's suits, and tomorrow its implants. VR is going to be the gateway to other technologies. Since we aren't close yet, maybe it is overhyped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually VR has already had an attempt in the 90s, so it's really not that new. Yeah the technology was worse then but the concept was exactly the same. It's actually pretty amazing that they already achieved full head tracking in the mid 90s for VR. My opinion is that if VR was going mainstream it would have already done so by now. It seems to me that the hype around it is dying down actually. I haven't really heard anyone mention VR until now, since the hype about HL:Alyx died down. I don't think VR headsets are going away completely but they'll be a niche accessory that only a few people will invest in. Much like racing wheels and sim rigs.

Boblee Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Personally, I believe that Virtual Reality is the the future of video games by all means necessary. It's going to take a while to perfect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 When everything that's involved in VR is all set, the video game industry is going to come out in a whole different direction that's going to be incredibly sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I'm sort of in the middle with this because the experience of VR is really fun and an interesting new way to play games that I enjoy as well as the next big thing (IMO), so getting to see it grow is awesome. Having said that, I have some issues with it and I'm being fairly exhaustive here out of respect for your hard-earned dollar, but these are definitely not deal-breakers for me. They might be for someone else though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 VR will simply put new dimension in video games. It will simply be a pleasing feature to see myself in Virtual Reality World existing like the way I'm doing IRL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing good comes easy and it's the same process that VR is being put through. With time, it's definitely going to come out better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightmareFarm Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) I thought it was pretty cool when I tried it out. Not all games should be built around VR but I think it would be cool if in the future most games are compatible with VR headsets.

Patrik Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 i wouldn't personally call it overhyped, it's surely good but comes at an expensive cost and in some games, the pov is a bit glitchy and annoying, like for example : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
