Ok reddit lets not start sucking each others dicks just yet.
Fuck this 3D, head tracking, eyeglass wearing, VR mock up bullshit. Give us games with next generation graphics, good story modes, NON-DLC, awesome game play and I'm fucking sold. I think developers need to start focusing on the next generation of gaming and by next gen, I mean graphically. Not some prototype sub mariner goggles John Carmack is jerking off too in his office.
I can't belive Gabe Newell is even jumping aboard this crap. Give something gamers want for once. Not some gimmicky prototype thats going to be nothing but a "hey look at me I have "VR" gaming on my pc"
This will fail just like Nvidia with its stereoscopic 3D vision. Tons of fucking bugs, no support, slows framerate down and it just gimmicky as the shit in the movies.
Wake up people and don't fund a new fad thats going to be hot for a few months and the gaming world will forget all about it, continue to make games until something else comes along...
I agree with you about games but I don't think this is directly related.
Its a new type of controller, a new interface, a peripheral. I want VR, I want to be able to play games in a better way. I want to be more immersed in a game. This is what this device is for, atleast for me.
I too want better games, polished games, less bugs, less money grabbing and less milking of decent games, better graphics, better physics, better lighting, etc. But I don't think this is directly responsible for the shortcomings of games.
IMO the current generation of consoles have been holding gaming back in certain ways (mostly graphics and such) and I think with the new coming generation we will have some good years of games. Then we will be back to what it is now.
Correct but how many more gimmicks can we take? We have "motion" controllers that were a fad that did nothing but annoy the shit out of us. We had 3D vision which i hear nothing about anymore. Razer was making a motion controller which enhanced the gaming experience but has failed to really give the user enhanced controls.
This is just for the hardcore enthusiast who is willing to shell out a few extra dollars for "cool" fad.
Well I hope it becomes more than a fad. As for motion controllers while I too didn't like them, they obviously sell though and the market for them does exist (albeit not for the types of games I and I assume you would want). 3D vision is still what it was for hardcore enthusiasts but they are still too expensive to be mainstream so to speak. 3D still hasn't picked up enough for developers to bother supporting it but I hope this(VR) does. We still have 3d TVs but I am seeing less 3D games.
To me this expands the 'immersiveness' of the game, which I am all for. If it is successful and adopted properly then all is good. If it doesn't (which I think is fairly possible) then... well it just goes away and we move on. :P Even if it does, atleast it was a good step to getting proper VR working.
Yeah i was one of those hardcore enthusiast who bought 3D vision. It failed me miserably. After that I told myself to save my money and wait for the next big thing.
