This will attract an even smaller market than 3D did. On top of that this will make a lot of people nauseous. It's very cool in concept but I don't ever see this becoming very popular.

Not me. I want full-immersion. I'm already holding back the purchase of a new 50 inch HDTV because of the Oculus Rift.

Can't wait!

If you dont see it becoming popular then howcome it raised over 2.4 million on kickstarter?

MikeMyers4189d ago (Edited 4189d ago )

The Kickstarter program is not an indication of success or not. Tim Schafer from Double Fine had a great game called Psychonauts that I thoroughly enjoyed but it was not a commercial success. Yet his Kickstarter has done extremely well. You have many people who donate and there could also be some vested interests in this application to gaming.

The problem I see is that this device will not become mainstream and has many hurdles in front of it, mainly the disorientation gamers will get. It sounds awesome in theory but gamers can and will get nauseous. People I know get ill just playing FPS and some people get headaches watching things in 3D. When you have a virtual reality like this you no longer have any orientation around you. If you've ever been on a boat on water and get sea-sick a lot of people try to (if they are able to) look at fixed locations or the shoreline. You can't do that with this headset on.

sure, but make sure you dont play more than hour a day or you go blind.

Oculus Rift garnered $2,437,429 in funding within hours at E3 - which speaks for itself!

Even when 'some people get ill by playing FPS and by watching things in 3D' FPS games and 3D movies make billions of dollars in revenue.

Nothing is universally accepted equally by everyone !!!

That's fine. GT7 would overshadow it anyway at it has open wheel and regular cars.

Should have been spending their time updating Squadrons with better resolution, frame rate, haptics, etc as there isn't a game like that on PS VR 2 yet.

But it's EA. They don't think.

Babadook7347d ago

I agree. It would sell better on PSVR2 right now.

Knushwood Butt348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

A wasted opportunity, but I don't buy EA / Codemasters stuff anyway. Grid Legends just came out on Plus and I haven't touched it. Why would I when I have GT7 and PSVR2?

Abnor_Mal348d ago

Not into F1 racing, but still a missed opportunity.

ApocalypseShadow348d ago

That's where opportunity presents itself that they could offer something else that other developers haven't offered yet. Yeah. There's No Man's Sky. But a space game with a story would be great. Like the old days with Colony Wars.

Abnor_Mal347d ago

Exactly, they could have possibly lured more players just from the inclusion of a vr mode.

I miss Colony wars and G-Police, Low-Fi I hope will scratch that itch when it releases. We also need a vr War/Starhawk game.

Knushwood Butt347d ago

Just watched the trailer of Low-Fi. Most definitely on my radar.

Although I never owned an oculus, I played the demo for this at an electronics store. Pretty impressive in an early goings of VR title.
