cool story bro, no go finish your vaporware instead of sharing your thoughts on stuff.
This freaking guy.
Yeah, that's a clickbait title if I ever saw one. Here's the full quote:
"Overall my greatest concern has been: can we make good VR games that people will want to play for longer than 20min?. Vive/Oculus make for great E3 demos. When people come to the studio for visits, inevitably we send them off to the VR room for a demo. It offers simple, clear, and relatable experiences that anyone can appreciate.
In reality I see this as a very expensive Wii. The Wii was successful because it offered simple, fun, approachable experiences at a low cost. We don't know what kinds of games will sell well, how big the market will be, and so on. So our steps with VR are exploration and we're not banking the studio on it. I fear some studios are so swept up with the possibilities of VR they're putting everything into it when we don't know anything about the VR game market. How many people will be buying VR games? and how much will they pay?"
He is talking about the kinds of simple experiences that made the Wii a financial success and how VR needs to figure out what sells. Obviously they won't know that until they get into market.
Misleading click bait title. Read the article.
As far as VR goes I hope someone will release a more affordable alternative. These $600-800 price tags are, quite honestly, ridiculous. Especially for a technology that isn't some new thing. It's head tracking with an LCD screen. This doesn't really compare with technologies that at one time truly were unique and new and expensive to make (like plasma TV's cost $10,000+ back in the day).
I love VR, I want VR, but it's got to be cheaper in order to be more widespread...something which, as I just above, is too expensive for what it is.
Lol omg how do these fake, clickbait titles get approved? Smh.
