Is VR Finally About to Blow Up

Virtual Reality needs to hit the perfect balance between price and quality. That might be the Oculus Quest.

It's not blowing up but it is sure steady on its upward course to be a very good alternative to regular gaming. Oculus being the first 6dof stand alone will definitely help with adoption and its cross play/cross buy on some titles. Some might not like Oculus releasing Rift S. But we need more users than more high end headsets that have no games to take advantage of them and the high cost to buy them.

PSVR has been leading the charge on the console end and helping adoption. Great games, great, periodic, discount sales and ease of use have definitely kept VR alive besides game sales hitting the sales charts like Blood and Truth, Astrobot, Beat Saber, etc. Beating out some flat games on sales lists shows that the medium can have hits when done right.

Got a long road ahead for broader acceptance of the platform. Would help even more if they can solve the motion sickness for some gamers. But it'll get there. AR and MR too. It's definitely going to be an interesting future for those able to experience it.

It sounds like No Man's Sky next update is going to be the must have game for VR ,I'm excited anyway .
Hopefully it's as good as people are saying and it can help move a few more VR units.

VR is still in it's infancy , but I think once we have good enough tech and costs come down that VR will become a lot more mainstream .

If they can pull it off, then yeah. It would be a definite must have just to experience a VR game that gives you ground vehicles, space vehicles, space combat, underwater and land exploration, multi-player in and out of VR,etc.

I'm personally waiting for Sairento, Iron Man, Sniper Elite and hopefully Espire 1 myself. But a free update for NMS is something to watch for. The updates made it better after a terrible launch. The VR update would add crazy value and one up bigger companies that just toss in side modes.(Looking at you Polyphony, Namco and EA. I want full racing, full flying and full star wars.)

Don't forget UploadVR's E3 showcase. Hopefully we see some interesting titles and updates on games.
