As a VR enthusiast, I'm rather disappointed that there hasn't been meaningful progress in the past 4 years. Seems like Half Life: Alyx remains the peak of VR gaming...
I'm still using the same hardware that was top of the line 6 years ago. Unclear when we'll get next generation hardware improvements. 🤷♂️
Curious to see where Valve is headed with the next iteration of the Index.
I was a huge fan of Echo VR. It is crazy how nothing has gotten much better in half a decade.
I wish there was VR hardware that was built on open source, sovereign ownership of your data etc
Pity apple and meta dominate the market so much….
I love VR…. But it sadly feels like simple surveillance to me now…
asgard's wrath 2 was fun for a minute. my favorite remains population one
Have you tried VTOL VR? The UX so good that it feels immersive even with simplified graphics. Also, good community.
AI stole the hype (and GPU product dev)
VR is for cockpit simulation. Flight sim, race sim, space sim. Never botherd even looking at games made specifically for VR.
As a VR enthusiast, Half Life: Alyx is not peak. Maybe has good visuals, but it lacks some stuff. Boneworks and Vertigo 2 are my favorites.
I blame meta/oculus. They produced the equivalent of a cellphone hmd to sell a gimmick to the masses at a low price point. It shifted developers to producing games that would work on low-end hardware. The gimmick was over and people lost interest never having experienced very immersive VR.
It will never catch on if you have to put heavy, huge glasses on your head and feel sick to boot
