Is this going to be the biggest hardware blunder this gen or could a company actually get dumber than that?

Meta is a bigger blunder tbh. VR has always been a meme.
You know what? thats fair because i forgot meta even exists.
This wins by default, not just because of how underbaked and moronicly intended it was, but for how fricking expensive it was. It would almost feel like cheating to consider Meta as a gaming-related flop just because of the whole different league of money that was dumped into it.
hasn't scuffed playstation home lost over half a billion in stock value this week?
>scuffed
?
>playstation home
that's a PS3 thing and hasn't been relevant in many years
>playstation home losing half a billion in stock value
Black person WHAT ARE YOU FRICKING TALKING ABOUT SPEAK ENGLISH
ironic ESL pls go and stay go.
Explain to me why he was talking about Playstation Home and how a game that closed in 2015 somehow lost half a billion in stock value last week (or shit, how it even has stock to begin with).
The Quest 2 has sold great. The problem is that the people who ended up using it are little kids and they had intended to make all their money back in their store and in data collection. Little kids don't have the money to buy all the games and they end up just messing around in VR chat or one of the free movie apps.
Lol they just announced the requirement of mass banning for anyone under 13 or get kicked off the quest store
It's been such a relief seeing Meta eat absolute shit. It succeeding would've been a fricking disaster for the world.
hopefully twitter and facebook can die so at least some of the damage done to our species over the last 15 years can be undone.
Its not even that much cheaper now that its $400. Not to mention their $1500 prosumer model.
I don't give a shit about face tracking unless ai characters can react to it. Never using vr for vrchatroony shit.
Sony actually put some money into games, Astrobot and Blood and Truth are full experiences. I loved Deracine but it’s too short.
The original PSVR was also a technological shitshow stitched together from previously existing peripherals, so this is a welcome upgrade from a system that can’t track you when you’re 180
I was planning to buy this but at that price tag I’ll wait fir a sale or buy used
Sounds like the tendies are jealous
I can't see this thing being very hard to get working on PC. Someone will surely get it running with Steam VR since it has a normal connection...
The PSVR1 works with steam vr (via paid app), it’s jank but you can watch videos
The PS VR is worse than a cell phone vr headset
VR is definitely a chicken / egg scenario. No reasonable person would spend the money to buy a semi decent headset only to have no games to play and devs dont want to makes games for hardware nobody can be convinced to buy. Someone needs to make a true budget headset so people will actually give it a shot.
The Quest 2 already is a budget headset. The problem is you need a decent gaming PC to go with it which is at least $1200.
The problem is that there won't be porn for this. Porn is half the selling point of VR.
It only has like 2 decent looking games coming. Will likely be another year before they add a third. PCVR is the only way to go cause the only non tech demo vr games a are done through vr mods
