Do You Think Virtual Reality Will Have Any Major Impact On The Gaming Industry?(Gaming Community Poll #2)

Do You Think Virtual Reality Will Have Any Major Impact On The Gaming Industry?(Gaming Community Poll #2)
Asking this question towards gamers of the community that probably have heard of Oculus Rift or many other manufacturers taking a shot at VR gaming entertainment this year. Do you see it becoming huge or do you simply see it as a limited fad like motion controls? Would love to know! #virtualreality

  1. I can say from experience that it is something entirely new and is definitely the next big thing.

  3. Gonna speak with my wallet and so NO, mostly because thenshits pretty expensive. Not many people will own one.

  4. It will make just about as big an impact as 3D tvs

  5. Michael Acuna But when you think of it. Peolple don't actually buy a tv only for 3D, but mostly because the 3D tvs are also smart tvs. You have to pay extra to get a Blu-ray disc in 3D and almost everything else watchable isn't 3D. So...
    3D tvs aren't exactly popular.

    Exactly, the initial investment was/is too high and the available content is very low. Sounds exactly like VR (^o^)

  7. Only if its affordable to the masses.

  8. It will revolutionize gaming but it would be too expensive to make an impact. Both games and the devices used to operate would be very costly.

  9. I have a few ideas for FPS games. Some of the idiot developers make some funny mistakes.

  10. I imagine it'll find it's niche, but I don't see a future of active or vr gaming, there are just too many gamers who game for a casual or social experience, something that's hard if you're wearing a headset our jumping about like a loon.

    I'm looking forward to getting one personally, but only when they come down to a reasonable price. As it stands, I'd rather upgrade my pc or get a ps than spend $600 on a novelty peripheral that I'll only use with several games.

  11. It won't right now, the current prices are likely to offput a lot of people (Me included)

  12. I'm not gonna dispute that VR isn't a great thing, but it's not cheap, that's for sure. Think it'll take a lot for the mainstream to accept it.

  13. I had the oculus DK2 and the CV1 will be defo worth paying 600 for.

  14. The Almighty Arceus i used it with cs and arma and its anoying.

  15. VengeanceCore I mean there are people who wish shooters to be more in-depth. VR is one way to do that

  16. The Almighty Arceus ye, maybe if u had like a gun u hold and u stand up with the vr on. And have to controles on the gun. That might work.

  17. Michael Acuna That's exactly what I was talking about. I remember seeing that the other day and I just forgot the name.

  18. Big, yes. Soon? Probably not. It's far too expensive for the average consumer at the time.

  19. Hello its 1995 calling to remind everyone that the Virtual Boy flopped and this will too.

    ReplyDelete
  20. It will once the prices drop and there are a few triple A games.

    ReplyDelete
  21. It will have an impact but not yet...still way too early in development

    ReplyDelete
  22. Eventually

    BTW, you say "limited fad like motion controls". Virtual Reality is the natural evolution of motion controls. At its most basic VR is motion controls worn on your head. More immersive VR experiences also involve handheld motion controllers.

    Also, 2 of the 3 major home consoles support motion controls in all models sold (3 of 3 if you count launch models). While game support for motion controls may be limited, motion controls haven't gone anywhere.

    One of the big problems VR will face is the newness of VR. Developers struggled to design and develop games for motion controls. Right now (to my knowledge) everyone is focused on the hardware as opposed to the games coming out for that hardware.

  23. I think it's a cool concept but I don't think it will stay relevant, just like 3d TVs I believe its a fad and with the lack of the games for it doubled with the high price and you need a very powerful gaming pc to even run the oculus rift or any other virtual reality helmet type device. I mean it's a really cool idea feeling like you're actually there but I can't see it staying with hardcore gamers.

  24. Legit Power now that would be awesome but only if it's 4d as in being able to feel it as well as feeling like you're there. Most likely that's what these virtual reality helmet devices are probably going to be primarily used for, hell I'll buy one just for that

  25. not until they have 'full emersion' tech like in the anime sword art online IMO.....

    ReplyDelete
  26. No simply because it won't be in most households and is too expensive. VR is useful for things like medical or combat practice but it won't be big in gaming

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oculus is too expensive, but if psvr is around the same price as the ps4 or less it could be the next big thing. There are some really nice games that will support it.

    ReplyDelete
  28. It won't make a difference in gaming for a while, but the concept of virtual reality has so much potential. Mostly in terms of prosthetics and orthotics. The idea of artificial or augmented body parts being controlled as naturally as a natural body part is amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Not at first, still ahead of its time, we still can't figure out online gaming properly. But one day yes, it will be awesome

    ReplyDelete
  30. No it won't. Let's face reality folks, the gaming companies will treat VR like a gimmick accessory to gaming, just like 3D but not as bad.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I think it'll end up being another Kinect.

  32. Likewise, I go from my own experience and once you try it, you're blown away. However, prices will need to come down (they will), headsets need to be less dorky (they will in due time) and the content needs to get better (starting to happen). Some technical aspects need to be worked out such as spatial audio which is critical - Google is doing it for Cardboard and Oculus has demoed it.

  33. Yes. I've been dreaming about this ever since I was a little kid. The fact that it's been adopted in so many different types of media, makes me believe that it's here to stay.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Oh it most definitely be a big thing in years to come but I don't think the year of VR will be until around 2020 when we've had a couple more years of increases of power in terms of PCs and price drops on the units themselves. At the moment it's still a "Power user" or "Enthusiast" level.
