E3 2017 Shows VR Is Not Ready

''Virtual reality still remains something of a niche market. Be it the Vive, Oculus Rift or Sony headset, their application in video games has left much to be desired. The last two E3’s have featured VR titles and experiences on the main stage.''

I saw plenty of good looking vr titles. Bethesda had two of them, couple of interesting ones for PSVR and Sony has said they will be promoting more soon.

VR this year reminded me of the Vita landscape not too long ago. Sony gave stage space to Vita and look how that turned out. Them giving stage space to VR is obviously good but they need to get the price down to where more people can buy it and take advantage of these experiences.

I enjoyed the vita and I enjoy VR but both are secondary after thoughts in Sony's eye as opposed to fully fleshed out ventures they really want people to get behind. VR (as with vita) will be mostly supported by indies and Ryan's remarks about indies is a little unsettling.

I'm confused by your logic. Vita wasn't as successful therefore VR might go down the same road?

Sharing a stage has absolutely no relevance.

If anything, this E3 confirmed that VR isn't an after thought for Sony. You're making up a lot here aren't you.

And as for Ryan, read the interview. What he said isn't unsettling lol.

Every time I look in the PS Store (about once a month, I don't have much time for gaming these days), I see new PSVR games that look really awesome. I've got a wish list of about 6 titles out already with several more that are coming out soon. I'm surprised by how well they are supporting it.

Enough with the Vita comparisons. PSVR has nothing to do with a handheld dominated by Nintendo

If anything, E3 showcased why VR is more than tempting. I'm going buy PSVR within a few months.

How did it showcase that? Name me one killer app. Or 3 games that make picking up a PSVR worth it.

So basically no killer apps.

@Igive
"Skyrim VR, Fallout VR, DOOM VR"

So the same games but with an added gimmick? It's strange to see some people add Skyrim on to lists of games to play in VR but were vocally mad to see this old game ported to Switch.

@Gangsta
They aren't the same games. Doom VR is confirmed to be completely new game.
I don't know why people seem so misinformed. The few titles named here are only the tip of the iceberg. Follow VR focused sites and you all see there's plenty of support.

I might be in the minority, but after playing with a PlayStation VR at E3, I was underwhelmed. Admittedly, the only game I played was Moss, but it left a distinct impression on me.

While I thought Moss was a fantastic game and would LOVE to support it, the way I've been explaining it to people is Tearaway with VR. You have this deeper connection because you're able to look around and view this world from every angle, but I would be hard pressed to say that connection is worth an additional $300+.

Going back to Moss, it could totally, at least from what I saw at E3, work as a normal PlayStation game. It's a third person platformer puzzle game with some motion controls.

Don't get me wrong, I could see the potential or value, but I currently think the cost vastly outweighs the cost, which is a shame, since I really did enjoy Moss.

The playstation E3 VR presence it seems that Sony is prepared to continue being the premiere VR device.

The quality involved in those VR games during there E3 show was incredible in terms of graphical fidelity,variety, and immersion with PS VR.

Tech has to start somewhere, new tech is rarely considered "ready" in it's infancy, that doesn't mean we should scrap it.

Vr I knew was ready when I played "Rush of Blood" and loved it!!!! Rigs is also a good game as is the platform that comes free with all the vr mini games. My next adventure is Star Trek Bridge Crew with everyone seems to love and play it for hours on streams :)

Yep star trek bridge crew is bloody fantastic. Played 6hrs other day with player on psvr, Vive and rift at same time. If u can get a good team together, it can be a real experience. Just hold off from doing 1960's bridge till u finish game lol

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

kevco33|772d ago |Opinion piece|3|

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

Modder brings actual brain-powered magic to Skyrim VR

Magog|1642d ago |Article|0|

A modder has created a "real virtual magic" mod for Skyrim VR.

The mod uses a brain computer interface that measures your concentration.

The more you focus, the higher your magicka bar becomes. Fill it up and you'll do double damage; let it drop and you'll do less.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to spend more than 10 usd of their hard earned money on Fallout 4. I went into it think I was going to get a New Vegas style Fallout, instead I got a dull reskin of Skyrim.

I also picked up Skyrim and I'm enjoying it for what it is. I should have gotten Skyrim first and replayed New Vegas for my Fallout fix.

P.S. Rage 2 is poop, not worth the price tag.
