I'm going to be pissed when it inevitably ends up being inside-out tracking bullshit. Hopefully they'll let you pair the headset with existing lighthouses and tracked controllers.

Here are good games that are either VR or flat games that have mods to turn them into VR.
Both categories are growing, maybe the modding scene is growing faster atleast in terms of how many gameplay hours they are generating (made for VR games are usually short)

Native VR
Arken Age
Compound
Forefront
Ghost Town
Half Life Alyx
Into The Darkness
The Midnight Walk
Pistol Whip
SUPERHOT VR
The Talos Principle VR
Until You Fall
VEX MAGE
Vertigo 2

Mod to VR
Antichamber
Cyberpunk 2077
Dark Souls
Doom Eternal
Elden Ring
Half Life 1 & 2
Halo Combat Evolved
Lies of P
Outer Wilds
The Talos Principle 2

But yeah new games and mods are coming out every month and the headsets are starting to be pretty advanced, there are compromises you have to make with each one tho.

that's not an official picture whatsoever, no official release has happened quite yet, only leaks and rumors saying it would come between

I thought we saw at least schematics of the headset and the formfactor still looks very Index

When they release 34560p 3840 hz headsets and the hardware can run games with those settings.

Oh shit, I forgot that came out. I quite liked parts of Shadow Legend. I do like that most of its VR interactions were modded into Skyrim VR, I hope alchemy and cooking get modded in next.

Yes. It cool tech and worth it for me to hop in one a week to play some stuff.
I like blade and sorcery, arkham shadow and the light brigade. Ive got others but those are my go to if i just wanna do something quick.

The cheaper VR headsets are worth it. It's a little bit harder to extract 500 or 1000 dollars worth of fun out of them unless you really like it.

If you are a PC gamer, I think so.
A quest 3 is basically a standalone VR console that can be used as a wireless HMD for PC vrgames.
Between native vr games, standalone and PC, and mods, there's quite the library.

If you can afford it and have the space, VR offers an unparalleled level of immersion.
If you just want to sit and waggle, then it won't be too fun and you'll feel ripped off.

FO4VR is pretty fun despite it not being as advanced moddingwise as Skyrim is
I wish NV had a VR mod

For PC, yes. Its the only thing that has felt next gen in half a decade. And still always something new that hits the fresh feeling (even when its old af vr converted games). But only if pc is a possibility for you no matter how distant. Standalone is only worth it to get your feet wet and if you dig it at all, just go all in on a pc and stick to VR mods cause almost every "made for vr" games is dissapointing.

I suppose that depends on what you want.
If it's immersion, then yeah it's great.
Cheap? You've got options.
Comfortable? Hard to tell. Some people can use VR almost indefinitely, other have to stop after an hour or two.
What about games? Plenty. But they all have different levels of quality, and there's no real accepted standards yet.

If you know nothing, expect nothing, and use Steam VR; get Alyx.
That game basically passes on every metric a VR game could have, and even sets the bar on some even to this day.
Plus there are so many high quality mods for it you could spend hundreds of hours in it.
It is the most comfortable VR game I've played, and have never once gotten sick in it.

Now personally, I like puzzle and adventure games. Shooting or racing VR games aren't for me.
For writing this post I checked my Steam account and it turns out I've 158 VR games.
Now half of these are going to be like museum games and walking simulators but that's still like ~60 actual games.

VR isn't going to replace your PC or console. It's likely to remain just a hobby; viable but expensive.
But if I can get 60 decent games that aren't slashing sword or shooting gun, I can guarantee you you'll find something you like too.
And if you want to know if you'll actually stick to it? Just look at how you've handled every other hobby you've had.
