After the HoloLens' impressive E3 2015 display, and the coming onslaught of virtual reality hardware questions, what lies ahead for traditional gaming, and should fans be concerned?

Not super surprising given how poorly VR and AR and all the metaverse stuff have taken off really.
Also outside of the military, you barely see or hear anything about Hololens these days.
I'm surprised that the Oculus Quest and PSVR didn't have these problems
It's hard to explain how in the world this listing exists
bahaha.. it's almost like they just threw in popular buzz words to show up on searches. Dear god that translation was awful.
I saw a shit mobile game advertised on facebook once that literally showed gameplay from BotW...
Like I mean really? Out of all the games to use to deceive consumers, you choose one of the biggest and most recognizable IPs in history...and from their most recent game to boot?
That is a special kind of stupid right there.
Beta set to release later this year - but what does Pot of Greed do?
I'd love to say it could, but I think it will simply be to niche in the way it can actually influence gameplay.
The cost is certainly going to be a prohibitive factor. Plus the stigma of wearing technology on your head, which is going to take quite a while to become acceptable in traditional society.
No. It's hard to tell the story you want to tell or have immersion when the developer has no control of the environment the player is in.
It might be good for certain types of games, but it won't replace traditional gaming
I think it will be another platform, and done right a perfectly viable one, but I think the experience would be too different to flat screen traditional gaming to outright replace it.
