Joshua Farrell Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Virtual reality systems are gaining popularity these days. Are you excited about the potential of virtual reality? Or are you worried? I have been watching these develop since the initial announcement regarding virtual reality, but have always been hesitated from trying it out. I do want to try virtual reality, but I don't like the cheap version (which is basically your phone conntected to the gear), yet the higher end stuff costs too much for me to want to try out various games with it.

skyfire Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Not worried in fact welcome the concept. The reason being you won't have those carpel tunnel issues like me while playing mobile and console games. Fingers will thank you for choosing VR.

The Blackangel Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I'm not all that interested. But that may be due to me being a classic gamer. VR would also probably be extremely difficult for me, because it's my understanding that you have to be mobile to play it. And being stuck in a wheelchair and having limited mobility, doesn't exactly give me many options to play it and enjoy the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juneberry Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I'm both excited and worried at the same time. I love the idea of virtual reality as a whole, but I do wonder how it might effect people's view of reality. Also, it depends on the technology itself as to whether it worries me or not. Current VR technology worries me because there's a lot of moving around that can cause harm to the person unaware of their actual surroundings... But, I'm not sure how to fix that issue. So I guess I'm more worried as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeowsePad Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I think that when VR gaming becomes the norm, that will be my time to retire from gaming. It will be essentially like playing every game on Wii. I play games to escape reality, not experience an alternate reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play my NES, SNES, and N64 regularly. I’m on one, possibly two, every single day. No regrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeowsePad Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 As amazing as the classics are, though, it's kind of frustrating when I have to explain to my friends that the games that they play bore me to tears, and that's why I don't play with them. With VR, it will get even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 You can expect the VR and other similar products out in the market. But I am not sure though how the VR market is expected to proceed now that the recession will be stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARx182 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I'm not overly interested in Virtual Reality either. Don't get me wrong, it's an incredible feature that shows just how far technology has come but I'm a traditional gamer and I prefer seeing the game on a screen.

DudeThatsErin Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I haven't tried VR so I'm not counting it out completely but so far it doesn't seem like something that would interest me. Mainly because I think of multiple people putting on those goggles and the oils from their face going on mine and sharing and ick. Never really liked it for that aspect.

Spikey Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I have a VR headset for my PS4. It's a lot of fun. It takes awhile to get used to and thankfully I don't get nauseous while playing it. One of my friends gets dizzy real easy so he hates virtual reality. I really enjoy playing VR Ping pong and playing against random people online.

I think by the time 2021 ends, we would have some of the good titles for the VR and that would be a good experience with graphics and the VR matured in a year or so. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 The new Medal Of Honor VR game will allow you to perform various actions like pull a grenade pin with your teeth among other things. It's not out yet but I'd keep any eye out for it(I normally don't hype up EA games but from what I've seen, it's pretty awesome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 That is pretty rad like using the grenade with the teeth? I mean that is a lot of improvement in sensors then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also some new VR tech previewed at CES 2021 with a new VR headset with far more sensors and you'd where actual gloves instead of some goofy joystick so you could perform more actions in VR games. I'm not sure if that headset will come out around the release of this game but EA has really done a number on this game. The one drawback is the file size. If I remember correctly, it was something like 400GB upwards but maybe I'm understating because I remember complaining about it in another thread.
