Now that the dust has settled, is VR the next evolution of video games in its infancy or a complete meme flop?

vr will never die and it will also never kill pc gaming and console gaming. it's a side thing. it does its own thing and overlaps very little with other domains
i like it a lot, but it isn't a must buy yet, and it's certainly not for everyone

I use my headset just about daily. I can still confidently say that most of the games suck.

If I there were a mindless polished shooter like CoD on VR, I'd probably love it. The VR FPS games that are out there are pretty great, but they're lacking polish as packages.

So far I've played games that weren't originally intended for VR. Skyrim, Doom 3, Half Life 1 and 2, Quake 1 and 2, Outher Wilds, Resident Evil 4, Metroid Prime and many more, and I have enjoyed them like never before. I haven't tried any games that have been made specifically for VR yet.

It will never take over from flat screen games but I don't think anyone was expecting it to.
There will never be that surge of support needed to make a bunch of full games just for it and even psvr2 won't help with that.

I find it much comfortable to use onahole in flatscreen than in VR.
Can't concentrate on game and manipulating onahole at same time.

You lack the IQ to put together a 300+ mod order for skyrim VR. Its most kino experience you will ever have. Telekinesis has never been so fun.

VR porn is pretty great but it's also very frustrating and requires a lot of work to make happen in a worthwhile way. Once the industry standardizes camera positions, etc so that you're not just watching another guy have sex from the POV of his forehead, etc it'll really be special. Although seeing another dude's dick where mine is supposed to be gives me a feeling I can only describe as dysmorphia. For that reason, I prefer JAVR

It's too novel and revolutionary to die.
However it'll forever be a niche because Westerners are too fat to stand up for more than 30 minutes at a time.

currently there are still no games.

I'm hoping for a boom of high quality VR games in a couple of years with the success with alyx. VR is too cool to only have a handful of good games

I have no problem with it. That said when I do it in VR I tend to use my hip plush so I can fuck it, but that's even harder.

>device that depends on the game industry creativity and innovation to thrive

It's fucked.
It's like depending on the pixel shader capabilities of the Atari 2600

I was talking more about games developed entirely for VR. I had fun with Doom 3, RE4, Skyrim, etc but these are not games developed for VR like HL Alyx is.

Alyx was already two years ago and Valve never did put out a Source 2 SDK. The real kick in the nuts is that if you want to make real money in VR these days, the Quest 2 is a much bigger market than PC VR.

its in the same market as a HOTAS, rudder pedals, steering wheels, etc are, a enthusiast thing
unless something changes thats where it will stay at
not such a bad thing tho, enthusiasts have money and usually get better games

Not games exactly, but VR 180 videos, your hands are free to do what you want. For some games it can be difficult, it all depends on how they have designed it. In some they have taken it into account and leave you a free hand.

No, it isn't, the future of videogames would be like in that episode of black mirror where the guy places a chip on his head and goes right into the game as the character he chooses.

VR is just like placying a TV in front of your face and giving you a control to emulate your hand, nothing else.

I own VR, have for a while.
>It's a fun gimmick. Memes aside, putting on a VR headset for the first time is a strange experience and I love watching my friends and family's reactions to it
>it works very well with a select few genres >Driving games. Being able to turn your head and look at an apex before you hit it helps you drive much better
>Horror games. I am desensitized to horror, and nothing really scares me anymore unfortunately. However, playing a good horror game in VR at like 2AM is fucking awesome. It actually gets me spooked.
>most VR games are shit. Shovelware has hit the VR market even harder than it hit the wii
>Most VR headsets aren't worth the base price
>they aren't the next step in gaming, but another fun addition in a long list

>absolutely no vr games im looking forward to
people need to stop giving a FUCK about new hardware when what we need is new software

Pavlov is more CS than it is CoD but it's really solid

Well, i usually do Koikatsu VR.
Just started to play it less sexually(had to turn off voice though) but more just as a way to spend time with waifu.
Sitting next to her, pretending to get lap pillow. Just getting peaceful until i try to hug her and feel nothingness inside.

MAKE FULL BODY TRACKING

Complete meme flop like 3D movies. Generations of sci-fi obsessed nerds have been trying to make VR a thing since the 80s, and guess what, people just don't want to strap a screen to their head and deal with the headaches/nausea. The entire idea is just retarded, it's like flying cars and androids. Stupid sci-fi shit nobody actually wants.

>interfacing your brain to a computer simulation to override all your senses directly at the source without waggling around in your bedroom
thats the way

It's positioned as a mass market device and not a peripheral. Both standalone VR and PC VR have made in-roads in that direction but in both cases the software ecosystem is severely underdeveloped. It's like the opposite of enthusiast peripherals. Those peripherals get developed because people want to play a specific sim game. Here, everyone's buying the hardware and waiting on the games to come out.

help the /vg/ thread stay alive. This is a new thread for VR games, not the VRchat one

Well, we can't instantly get there you know...

Play . It's for PC too.

only good to cum inside anime girls
doesn't need to be anything else

Neither. It's it's own medium. Similar to how handeld gaming was to console gaming.

I wasn't a big fan of HL1 or DOOM 3, but they're both amazing in VR, especially D3.

I'm playing Quake 1 in VR, never played it before but the later chapters are pretty scary

>VR before Quest 2
>all adults goofing and having fun

>VR after Quest 2
>all children yelling and being little insufferable faggots

Sadness.

it's waglan gayman except with smartphone strapped to your face

personally i prefer VR MMD

It's interesting when every single person is guaranteed to have a microphone that gets used by default. Even more pervasive than Xbox Live.

I can gang rape thamor whores with a dozen of my clones then super punt that bitch into the moon then fly and backhand her into the ocean. Half life alyx you cant even jump over shit.

VR has plenty of sandboxes where you can do whatever but they all look and feel jank. I want structured games that don't suck.

Well theres lone echo 1&2

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is a pretty impressive game. I liked it better than Half life Alyx.

>that don't suck

I agree.

Telling us youre a tranny doesnt help your case

Neat! Is that the SlimeVR trackers? I followed the crowdfunding thing but don't really have the time to make the boxes myself or the money to buy them outright.

I played this. It's eh. Kinda what I expected.

Is that the Illusion ripoff of the weird Bamco thing for PSVR?

Definitely the former, and the Quest 2 is leading the charge. Meta might be a crummy company, but Zuck's fixation on VR as the next big thing is definitely getting people interested. If anyone in this thread has the time, check out Carmack's 2021 keynote on Oculus. It's about an hour long, but well worth the watch as he dives pretty deep and breaks down their advancements, the points he think needs significant improvement, and the issues he pushes back hard on.

I have a Quest 2 and love it, but I primarily use it as a PC unit through Air Link, which does legit feel like magic sometimes, especially when playing roomscale content .

It's pretty fun. If you've got it, you know. Pop ONE, Beat Saber, Thrill of the Fight, Blaston. These are my go-to games.

it was meant to be the VR kanojo sequel

This user get's it

The impression I get, increasingly, from Carmack's keynotes is that he's the only one interested in how people actually use their VR headsets while everyone else is off chasing their aspirational social media-infused VR nightmare. And that people at Meta aren't listening to him.
