For some reason people have this believe that some new VR thing will come out and everybody will jump on the train.
This is something that virtually never happens.
Before people go hurr-durr look at iPhone etc. realize you monkey that there were similar products before apple came

So you are proving the point it could happen
It's also not very powerful, and you're locked into using a facebook account and using the Oculus store unless you hack it, which is probably harder to do on the new models.
For example, the Quest 2 is so weak it can't even display most vrchat avatars. Yes those avatars are unoptimized as hell, but that still shows the limitations of the headset
you are aware all you need to do is plug it into an pc right and you get all pc games that come with it? Ive played half life on the quest 2, ran perfect
You're still locked into having a facebook account, with threat of them locking you out of your account if you don't give them your real name and info. Also it defeats it's selling point of wireless VR if you need to plug it into your pc to have it run well
To add to my prior post, you can just use it as a wireless PCVR headset over wifi. The standalone functionality is just if you don't have a PC at all - and that said, there are good standalone games, although on principle I don'tnbuy things from the Oculus store.
I think the next console cycle will finally have machines that will run things without problems be a standard, but it will only catch on if a company makes the risk. MAYBE Nintendo will do it since they are always experimenting, but that's assuming they won't be a console and half behind in tech. other than that, it probably won't catch on, except maybe through niche enthusiasts through sheer accumulation of owners over time.
Yes. Eventually a wireless all in one, low profile device will become a common way to view media. The ability to view media 1:1 spatially is never going to go away.
I feel bad for you poor people who don't get to enjoy VR games in their prime. Pavlov is fun as frick, especially mafia because aiming is so much harder you don't get bullshit like in CS where some try hard insta head taps people
>who don't get to enjoy VR games in their prime
What are you talking about? Is this how lazy Americans have become that 40-50 year olds can barely use VR?
Better technology, pricing, games and other functions that will come with time will definitely increase its popularity but who knows by how much. I may buy one in 5 years.
>doesn't own a good headset
WHY ISN'T IT TAKING OFF?!
its because you the consumer aren't investing in it because you'd rather spend a thousand bucks on a fricking dogshit iphone
it needs to be grown from the ground up by targeting children first and foremost. most vr headsets don't fit children (do any?) which is sad because video games were originally intended as children's entertainment. i think if vr were to take off, vr makers would have to start advertising to children at an affordable price point, then it would only be a matter of time before the next among us or fortnite was developed for vr.
Looking forward to Resi Evil 4 VR. Should be pretty slick. Other than that I pretty much use it for VR porn now. It was fun to start but the novelty wore off quick.
If future iterations of the Quest have more power, better FOV and come in a lighter, more comfortable package, I could see it being much more popular than it already is.
Right now it's still kind of clunky. The FOV is dogshit and that combined with the poor black levels can ruin immersion and turn longer sessions into a chore rather than fun.

I am a genuine medically diagnosed sperg and even I'm not autistic enough for this shit
We still haven't tapped the potential with an open world city game like GTA. I guess there's Skyrim but it would be nice to have something in a city to emulate real life for us virgin nerds.
This. And proper mainstream success I believe lies in AR and virtual offices. If corps start shipping HMDs to their employees instead of having to pay rent for offices, that should increase it's popularity within gaming as well since people already has one and are comfortable with them.
now that's fricking stupid, you have a physical office for a reason, AR/VR is not for soulless office drones, it's for people with actual real jobs, like crane operators, heavy duty stuff, you can supplement the onsite training with AR.
the cat's out of the bag, it cannot be stopped now.
i have the same prediction for gaming consoles, if the mainstream adopts streaming-gamespass future, enough of a niche market will create their own physical consoles with physical games.
hopefully all the by committe for mass appeal and those that cover it will stay in their games as a service hell, and leave actual video games alone, so i see a bright future for VR and Console gaming
no, unless we have Matrix or Inception like deep dive VR it won't catch on but that is like 100 years away.
Maybe at least decent AR?
maybe but I can see most AR games being exactly like crappy mobile games.
I think AR could be great for many many things but Vidya isn't one of them
yep exactly like smart phones, can see overlays like mini maps and other UI elements for real life happening.
What [] said.
The moment people can have gay furry twink orgies and feel every wiener, every drop of jizz, smell the musk, VR will boom.
Neuralink is not so farfetched.
>no pit hair
i sleep
I wonder if you turned weird because you are so alone or if you are so alone because you have always been weird
Only if it's VR Troopers.
NIPPLES!!
Lickable armpit
nope, you can thank facebook and vrgays for not letting things go forward but mostly vrgays.
will being essentially a blind person to the world around you take off?
Seeing shit like this drives me absolutely insane. I just wanna pound someone wearing a tight top from behind

It came to already developed market. VR is not a developed market yet.
2 more weeks, trust the plan
VR has been dead since its release, if HL:A couldnt revive it, nothing will
Depends dork
We need more shit to do, more stuff to play, and more importantly more affordable tech if VR seriously wants to gain a good foothold
Isn't the new Oculus like 250 bucks
It's also not very powerful, and you're locked into using a facebook account and using the Oculus store unless you hack it, which is probably harder to do on the new models.

>For example, the Quest 2 is so weak it can't even display most vrchat avatars.
vrchat even had to implement a system where you can set a "back up" quest compatible avatar for quest users to see if you're using one they can't load
Some avatars are stupidly complex but at the same time, the restrictions on the Quest feel a bit overboard. You can't even have transparent textures.

You just use it as a PCVR headset. It's also surprisingly powerful standalone for a glorified mobile.

The porn is pretty good
ive had VR for almost a year now and i never got bored of it
infact im about to play vr right now
I am glad you enjoy your purchase.
When the tech gets good and affordable enough. Sort of already there with the Quest 2 but hopefully new competing headsets will help it along.
As soon as it's cheap *and* of a decent quality.
booba

nice projection. I would never waste more than 250 bucks on a phone
caught you
nice projection. i would never waste money on a vr headset

>surprise, it's shit
VR isn't immersive at all, the shills lied to me.
Fix your IPD and move your head more.

Sure it can, if the Developer of cyubeVR actually adds more content to his game.
I use it exclusively for VAM at this point.
do you buy the payed looks?
quite based
Not usually. I tend to make my own stuff, but I will buy clothing or hair occasionally.

eh, hasn't it already taken off though, i've seen dumber meme shit over the years that was considered a success with less sales numbers than VR

Only if people buy TWD: Saints & Sinners. It has a historically low discount right now
give it another decade or two, i think if it's not up by then people will finally give up until we have some big leap

Hummm pointy breasts
It's a fad, it won't be taken seriously until they develop gloves that let you physically touch/feel your surroundings
I think smell would be a bigger deal.
>put the VR goggles on
>this comes up
what now son
disappointing lack of VR fail webms ITT
