>headsets are affordable and even subsidized(Quest 3S is under $300)
>PCVR games are better than ever, and outside of Sims you don't need a high end system to run them
>PC and Playstation VR no longer requires you to jerryrig a bunch of cables and sensors in a large room
>Quest and Pico devices can run all sorts of games standalone without requiring a PC at all

And yet, it remains a niche product that can't break through to the mainstream. Why?

You want the answer?
Because Nintendo hasn't put out a low-cost true VR system, and Labo/BotW/Captain Toad/Smash Ultimate doesn't count.
If they ever put out a real headset accessory (again, the Labo/Virtual Boy accessories don't count) and Joy-Con 2 grips, it might even work this gen.

What does that have to do with anything?
The HD standard took off before Nintendo adopted it, same for online play. On the flipside, Nintendo embraced 3D more than anyone else and that didn't go anywhere

They have yet to release a SINGLE VR game that could have been considered GotY in the year it released. Can't move hardware without a killer app

For me, VR feels like a gimmick

VR is too inconvenient for the experience it offers. Anything you can do in VR you can do on your phone or computer. and they don't require your head to be sealed off from the outside world.

I think what blumehouse is doing, but if they did it for like a whole catalog of movies with a cult following, could bring the "normies" in (which is what negative vr posters think is sucess). Like I want what they did for Megan for like the entire japsloitation genre, but in 3D

Cables, heavy, uncomfortable, low FOV (if you can see the edges at all it's trash), low resolution, blurry in general, only one genuinely good game (indie pixelshit mobile tier trash doesn't count), high end headsets are expensive and still aren't good enough. Wearing a VR headset and waggling the joysticks makes you look like a faggot.

We have this thread every day and the answer is always the same.

Because you are a dumbass.

Why would I spend $300 on top of a PC to play the Sims when I could just NOT spend the extra $300 and play the Sims anyway? What does VR provide? If I'm already paying $40 for The Sims, then why is spending $340 for the exact same game a good idea?

Outside Beat Saber and VR Chat, there isn't a single reason for most people to buy the system. And that is after nearly ten fucking years. I can buy two dozen different consoles for less than that price that haven't seen a new game in over ten years as well, and they will all have better libraries.

And you dumb shits still won't acknowledge the faults of the system. Until you do, VR is just going to continue to fail like it always has. And no, I'm not going to go over them with you for a hundredth time. By now, you've already heard them, so just try to use your memory and consider for a moment that they might have valid complaints that need to be addressed.

>>725127783
It's actually shocking to me that nintendo hasn't tried a real vr system since the virtualboy. 3ds kinda seemed to be going that direction, but they just haven't taken that extra step. The fact that they haven't maybe indicates the technology is just not at a point where its practical to work with, or that its just cost/profit analysis just makes it unfeasible.

It's a gimmick.

>>725130803
My first VR experience was Gran Turismo 7 (PSVR2) with a wheel and pedals. It was great, but after an hour of driving really fast I felt so nauseous that I couldn't get out of bed for hours. It fucked me up so bad I was slightly disoriented for a couple of days.
GT7 was probably not a good choice for a complete beginner, but desu I still haven't fully gotten used to VR, and games like GT7 still make feel a little woozy.
I think the problem with racing games in particular is that you don't feel the acceleration, bumps and all the different forces so it messes with your brain.

god damn, that clavicle. what an overall slutty body

>>725126861 (OP)
I feel like sony had the best shot but the combination of PS5 and PSVR2 was expensive so hardware sales didn't justify enough games

Nintendo could crush if they were in Meta's position. They are the best at selling games on cheap mobile hardware. But they are completely uninterested at the moment.

PC has been through several price inflations this decade with cypto and now AI, so that was never going to happen.

This is clearly the fake vr thread by pajeets. I'll wait for the real one

>>725133954
Sony fucked up at the first ps5 showcase by completely neglecting any mention of vr. Allowing psvr 2 to work on pc was liekly to save face. Although now theyre going crossbuy with pc. So they may become relevant again. Since almost all Sony "exclusives" can be modded with the UEVR mod

>And you dumb shits still won't acknowledge the faults of the system

If you enter a "why did VR fail" thread you read complaints from people who havn't played VR, and they don't complain about things or even know about things a VR owner would complain about. It's just third worlders without a clue. Some things are obvious like no games, a good experience is expensive, simulator sickness, etc. But i'm talking about the constant imagination and non sequiturs in these threads.

If you want to see VR users complain about real VR problems, go in the rare VR gaming threads.

>>725134303
Youre not supposed to "go through them" your supposed to stop when you get sweaty before the sickness actually kicks in. You dont benefit from pushing past that point. The next day you can go twice as long. I think the biggest issue (for gamers) is unlearning turning with the joystick especially when you're just getting started.

Vr is objectively the better gunplay experience

>>725134442
OP said "sims" not "the sims". First worlders play vehicle simulators in VR, not games for high school girls from 10-20 years ago.

>>725134553
unfortunately, i think people don't really know what the limit is (even if you tell them) and push past it in to nausea and have a horrible experience they never want to repeat.
there is literally no other mainstream consumer technology that has had to train it users to prevent physical side effects. you could make an argument for alcohol and drugs, but before you start throwing up, they feel 100x more incredible than any vr experience.
it's a deal breaker.

because a not insignificant number of people cant play for very long without getting sick and sadly its a unsolvable problem without forcing everyone to grow up on ships

Seriously, what is the use case for this ludicrously expensive hardware? It got nonstop media coverage when it came out, and I still haven't understood what exactly it can do that a Quest can for 10% of the price

>>725126861 (OP)
The entire VR industry is in this holding pattern where the devs are waiting for the hardware to catch on before they invest real time/effort and the hardware side is waiting for the devs to make something good so they can sell units. Facebook being greedy and turning it from a peripheral into an exclusive platform didn't help either.

>>725134686

>>725133554
flying jets/helicopters in vr is one of the best gaming experiences you can have right now

white women owed me sex

Is quest 2 still worth it?
I've seen a bunch of 2's being sold for around $150 on second-hand market, which
seems like a pretty good deal, though I heard people recommending quest 3
(especially because of pancake lenses) but it's more pricey.

>>725135432
ios apps and a virtual screen for your macbook, galaxy XR is the google equivalent for android apps. Quest is also android but you can't just grab stuff from the google play store where all androids apps are. Quest's UI is also limited to 3 panels in a fixed position last time I checked. I'm not an expert on how mature all these things are in present day. But I can at least say that AVP/Galaxy XR have panels high res enough for desktop use, quest not really.

>>725134974
The issue is amd drivers. Some say they've been fixed, some still have issues.

>>725135758
prove this isnt AI

>>725135930
You get high res panels using desktop streamers. I can run 3 superwides in virtual desktop. Its only 4k if you use one screen tho. But I don't notice and use 3 all the time

>>725128754
The only one you didn't make up is motion sickness and I'm convinced that most people can get over it, especially if they're already into gaming. You might not remember this but people used to get motion sick playing Doom, Descent, and other FPS games. You don't hear about that anymore. I got quite motion sick in my first few sessions and I still feel weird for like 15 seconds after taking it off, but it's no big deal now.

It's weirdly frustrating how ignorant people generally are about VR. I had a conversation just last week with a guy saying he'd buy it if he could play a really good Star Wars game with it. I pointed out that you can, as of like a year ago, already play Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy on it. Another guy said there's no "real" games and I pointed him to the list of flat-to-VR conversion mods that exist. Then there's the list of great VR native games.

Bunch of retards getting all their opinions from streamers that just don't want to risk having to stand up to play anything.

>>725135903
For quest 2, dont pay more than 100$. You can probably get the old 64gb ones for like 50$ (but can only fit like 1 game at a time with all the update bloat) but if using with a pc that won't matter. Don't get the 3s if you go current gen go with quest 3.

>>725135903
I would look for a used 3s because better processor, even if its for PCVR use the wireless video decode will better. Also the redrawing your boundary with quest 2 is annoying. The passthrough is ass and only useful for not walking into furniture, you'll have to pull the headset up to even start steam on your PC.

Despite what every dystopic masturbation fantasy you see on Reddit claims, no people do not actually like putting themselves in a glass box away from the real world

That's like saying Mario would be better if you controlled it like qwop. Why is it better to have to waggle your arms around like Wii Sports instead of just pressing a button?

>>725136245
Cope more shill.

>>725136139
I use a quest 2 and the PPD makes desktop use not worth it, and the quest 3 is a couple of hundred more pixels. You are not getting anything close to a real 4k monitor in front you. The math for this is commonly known, ask a chatbot. It's not like you can't do it, bigger screen over a larger fov, lean forward, use big fonts, but you really have to go to the AVP or XR's 3600px+ to make desktop use worth it for consumers.

>>725126861 (OP)
Because people ultimately don't want to strap on a headset. I can appreciate the qol improvements that have gone into the experience over the past several years, but it still feels like shit to strap on a headset and completely isolate yourself from everything else. Combine this with a society that is already constantly looking at screens and distractions and no, I just don't want to fucking strap on a headset. Don't wanna.

>>725133554
Vr porn bro. I'm on a psvr 2, and it's pretty great man. Plus the AAA experiences on it are fun, (horizon cotm, gt7, r.e8/4, star wars). Do I wish there were 15-20 more triple a games? Yeah but the porn is what's really solid

no games, it's a dead ecosystem, big companies dont invest into it because the market share is pathetic, and people dont buy it because of the entry cost and lack of games
if you google "best vr games 2025" it will give you a list of like 20-30 games, most of which released between 2016 and 2020 lmao
>b-b-b-but look at this huge list of all these indie games that all do the same thing! i swear manual weapon reloads gets fun after you do it in 20 different shooters that all feel and play the same!
yeah, the problem is it got boring past the first game of a thousand
VR needs games the likes of skyrim, fallout, etc etc - big worlds to explore, preferably with imsim mechanics (as VR naturally lends itself to them), but the problem is, the marketshare is abysmal, and no indie dev with a budget of a piece of toast and a quart of milk will do it for obvious reasons, and those that do end up with a """""""game""""""" with one functional level, or hyper-focus on stupid shit nobody gives a fuck about

>>725138069
There aren't any. Smart glasses just take phone functionality and make it hands free. It's a phone accessory, not a replacement.

>>725138308

>>725126861 (OP)
Lots of reasons were already given itt, but also lots of bullshit. I'm not gonna talk about the price, because most of you will gladly pay a gorillion dollars for your pc anyway - you know your pricepoints.
Lack of games is the main problem - browse through the VR categories on steam and you'll notice that the majority of the games are gimmick sandbox games (beatsaber, raw data, blade and sorcery, etc.), then there's skyrim and fallout vr, and then a handful of "full fledged" vr games. Obviously this is circular dependency, because Lack of games -> High financial risk of creatign vr game - >Lack of games and so on, but that's just how it is. At this point the whole VR game market seems to be stuck in something akin to the era between games at arcades and the first game consoles at home.
Another isssue is the lack of standarization. Unfortunately the market is not yet (if ever) at the stage when buing another VR system can be validated by exclusive games. Right now it needs games that work on every VR set, otherwise you're needlessly divinding an already small audience.
The lack of room is a bit far fetched - sure it helps to have a lot of space, as much as it help to have a huge desk with a huge screen just for gaming. If you can find a 2m x 2m square near your pc you're good to go on most games.
Same shit with screwing your eyesight - you spend to much time on /v/ to use this is as a reason
Motion sickness or vr sickness can be sometimes surpassed. At the start i was getting nauseous after 15 minutes of game. Then it happened later and later and I stopped noticing it after something around 2 weeks. I know there are some people who can't - sucks to be you.
I'm not gonna shill it, to each their own, but I've never felt as if I've wasted my money.

>>725138680
because they double as a watch this is literally just a wrist band with sensors in it that you will likely have to wear ontop of the smart watch phones are simply the more conventient option

>>725134237
>not relaxing
I think this point doesn't get talked about enough either. I like to sit down and unwind when I get home from work and want to play an hour or two of vidya before getting back up for other stuff.

vr is amazing for simulators
take simracing for example, a triple monitor setup will cost you atleast 500, and that's with shitty monitors

for normal games tho? yeah that's a hard sell

Because they're also a fashion statement and tie into being trendy and socially relevant. They also weigh little and impede nothing. If you can make VR headsets sexy and desirable instead of 'Palmer Luckey on Time Magazine,' then maybe a comparison can start to be made.

hardware has finally gotten decent but right now it's lack of software, especially for quest3

btw quest3 isn't subsidised
having a PC or PS5 is a big barrier to PCVR and PSVR2

>Quest and Pico devices can run all sorts of games standalone
problem is 99% of them are mobile tier or feel like tech demos
proper gamedevs still aren't making vr projects, when standalone vr reaches ps4 level gfx, then it'll take off, also headsets need to get lighter and cheaper

if nintendo does a vr headset, they will dominate and vr will take off
wii/3ds games would work fantastic in it

>>725126861 (OP)
I love my Quest in spite of the Facebookulus spyware. The Zuck really does provide a good product to get people through the door.

Problem is I haven't launched my headset in years because it's too much of a hassle to put on the headset and the controllers and get into a designated clean walking space and connect a backup battery. Sitting in front of the PC or pulling out my phone is just too much easier.
Not to mention standing in my designated geofenced open area like a retard while the 200+ GB of updates download for my headset and games.

>>725139148
You look retarded in a t-shirt and blue jeans

Also the hand tracking is a wristband, it can detect your gestures even if your hand isn't in the air in front of your glasses because it uses EMG, that's the point. This one startup even hs an EMG that can detect your vocal cords . You can mouth words with your mouth closed and speech to text that looks like telepathy. Combined with eyetracking people will be using these and you won't even be able to tell.

Decades of marketing and sales research have told us over and over again that convenience is king when it comes to sales and adoption, yet the masses remain bewildered as to why the inconvenient technology helmet just won't take off.

Schools should have an alternate to gym class where it's VR class.

All VR games should be physical activities in nature
This would allow gamer kids to engage with PE at a younger age and stay physically fit until they're old enough to pursue shit like lifting weights in high school

its too expensive, and actually a good idea so it'd never happen. Like how they gutted mechanical shop, wood shop, and home economic classes from schools across the USA.

What I mean by this is it's not a VR game where you sit around and use a controller, those do exist, I'm saying purely from a physical education standpoint.

Also the best VR games all use motion sensors for a wide range of combat motions

>vr shooters are meh at best
I wanna see battlefield vr, cod vr, halo vr, metroid prime vr, l4dvr, tf2vr, etc not the shitty ones that vr devs keep making
hl alyx is fantastic, we need more of that

>>725140213
>I wanna see battlefield vr
there is a new game coming out in a few days called forefront
its battlefield but its only 16vs16
there's a halo CE vr mod
idk about metroid
l4d would be possible since there's also a hl2 mod
tf2vr is kind of a thing in the form of a mod for the game contractors

>>725140123
The question of the thread is why VR isn't "taken off". The answer is because it doesn't have any video games. It's like asking why flight joysticks aren't "popular". Hope that helps.

>>725140213
Hey those are all the game I play and I know things in VR I can direct you to, but I played skyrim so you don't need my help

Deckard will save VR

>>725140396
Yes it's about why VR hasn't taken off, not about why you are obtuse about things most people like.

>hl alyx is fantastic
is it though? have you played HL1 and HL2 VR mods? are they better or worse to you?

>>725140634
If most people liked those things vr would have "taken off". However, the audience for these things are mostly section 8 dwellers, so there's an enormous disconnect between product and user. Put actual real video games on it and I'll move 10000 more units yesterday. As I said there are only 2 remotely interesting games.

>>725127010
From the amount of nuts she collects I'd argue the opposite

>>725140595
valve will drop the headset with a generational game and then go back into hiding for 5 years again and meta will still be the king of vr while driving the scene off the cliff

Controls worse than keyboard + mouse, no games, especially no good games.

>>725140829
Right but can you leave your personal baggage out of the thread please. I have no reason to think "real video games" are an objective description or just things you like.

>>725141115
>Controls worse than keyboard + mouse

What does this mean?

>>725136741
Skyrim requires a pc. For skyrim yes for batman no (you'll beat it in a day or 2)

>>725140829
Vr standalone users seem to be mostly single moms and their kids.

>>725140381
It came out today for 20$. Grabbed it. Haven't jumped in yet to try the new maps

>>725127010
uh oh the uncs didnt like this one

>>725141353
Exactly what's written, use google translate if your english is that bad.

What the fuck happened to the GTA SA port for VR?

>>725142225
How are they worse?

>>725140213
>I wanna see battlefield vr, cod vr, halo vr, metroid prime vr, l4dvr, tf2vr, etc not the shitty ones that vr devs keep making

Battlefield- forefront
Cod - contractor$ (not the exfil one the old one) even has cod maps modded in
Halo - also contractor$ for the pvp halo ce for the first one vr modded
Left 4 dead actually has its own vr mod
Tf2 clone is hotdogs and handgreanades i think with the hotdogs version of tf2
Rainbow 6 - breachers (most probably migrating to forefront so might be low number of servers active for a while)
Ready or not is getting an official Unofficial mod

Population one is actually fun if you dont get dogshit teammates but the single moms and kids make that hard. But its where I see the most biological women. But its usually means you're gonna have a bad game lol. I mostly only get on now during war 12 v 12 and legions events 6v6v6v6. Takes some the edge of bad teammates off.

>>725142225
Yeah but what do you mean by that? Like give me an example?

>>725126861 (OP)
outside of sims they dont really have a use case

>>725142390
This right here is the biggest zuck gaff of all time. It doesn't matter if you burn a bunch of money on horizon worlds or whatever, you don't just announce a port of a AAA classic game then vanish it

>>725142390
Canceled. But you can do the pc version with the UEVR mod.

subnautica vr

>>725142390
nothing, play the unreal engine mod

>>725140879
so a woman is a cumrag?

>>725142582
it pisses me off that unknown worlds wont just put one guy on subnautica to slowly improve VR, who cares if he's slow as fuck, it would be done by now. They have even returned to patch the game years after completion, just nothing for VR. And subnautica 2 won't be VR at all last I've heard.

>>725139863
They actually need to start swapping most of the art related electives for vr and 3d modeling etc. Just the costs of materials alone being eliminated makes it a good switch. Could have virtual showcases with other schools easily. Also almost everything has an sdk available so they could get into programing easily as well.

>>725142779
Huh. They both have mods. The motion controls for subnautica 2 mod were ported to the first games mod also I think I read. Haven't grabbed it yet myself but its one I've been looking forward to. Just grabbed aliens fireteam for 5.99 for the uevr mod.

>>725142495
those are knockoffs and unofficial mods
I'm talking about a new built for vr game by the devs of those games

you know, professional devs that can make an appealing product
cause forefront still doesn't scratch the battlefield itch, imagine if DICE did a proper VR game

crytek did 'the climb' 1 and 2
they were doing something crysis related for vr, but it's probably on pause
until then we only have the mod, which would be 100x better if the weapons and item interaction used vr properly

>>725140790
nta but it's great, the biggest criticisms while valid aren't of the mechanics really but of how Valve implemented them into Alyx's campaign, we have multiple campaign mods on the workshop that remove the VR training wheels
>The game was made for teleportation
From here to there was made with locomotion in mind and most of the parkour puzzles require it, you cannot progress with teleportation exclusively
>The enemies are very easy
Valve balanced the game very well, Levitation is a direct sequel to the Alyx campaign, it starts you off with an unupgraded pistol and the combine are as tough as they are at the end of Valve's Alyx from the get go
>Only 3 weapons
Return to Rapture implements many weapons and even tries two handed weapons, it admittedly fails at two handed weapons like shotguns

The HL2VR mod is liked more by a lot of people for being more of an actual game and way less safe, maybe they never played any custom maps or maybe it's just that Alyx hugs (You) in Episode 1
The HL1 mod is abysmal, doesn't even have manual reloading oh but the dev added steam achievements though, before abandoning it years ago, it still crashes constantly
Black Mesa mod has HL2 weapons and not the HL1/Black Mesa so I hate it and never gave it a real chance

>>725139810
A problem most haven't run into becuase they dont use enough is gamer dent but on these weird straps. Since i use a halo strap all day basically, I now have a slope

I wish 4chan had a system like youtube where you could click "do not recommend threads from this poster"

>>725134287
>just had a horrible memory of a 3d interior designer "game" my mother bought in the late 90s
>I probably spent 200 hours playing it when I was fucking nine years old
I'd probably lose my job and die starving if a modern VR version existed

>>725142983
I think hl1 (or was it 2) added manual reloading like a year ago

>>725143029
you sound like you want to use other websites

>>725143086
>>725134287
I'm pretty sure you can mod Sims into vr. I remember wanting to try it cause of the sexo mods but never did cause I'm not a woman

>>725126861 (OP)
I wanna have sex with this female woman

>>725142983
ahh.. your opinions are invalid thanks for taking the time to confirm this. HL1 mod is the best in series. Alyx is trash because of how slow it is and how long it takes to load levels. Loading times are near instant in HL2, and the lighting is better some how.

any more pics of shaft hunter where he looks like a dude?

>>725142942
Official ports suck. VR devs dont even play vr themselves. That's why the mods are always 10x better than "made for vr". Even forefront is a downgrade from contractor$ because there's no mods in it.

>>725143135

Since when have video games ever been sexy? Who the fuck are you

>>725143332
all of them

>>725138286
Personally I find made for vr porn mostly lacking (not degen enough) but its a catch 22 cause vr porn degen enough is going to have angles I wouldn't want in vr. Cause the last thing I want is for there to be a dick (nor valls or man ass) anywhere near my face. So I've mostly switched to solo porn. But also my tastes aren't really catered to today by industry to I mostly 3d convert in 16:9 ratio cam girls instead of vr180 pov. But i literally dont watch anything before converting it into 3d first now

So VR headsets need to cost $50 and also have incredible graphics.

My current setup makes room scale shit. While I mostly only play seated games it still takes up an annoying amount of space to then not also have room scale available. Hopefully my next house is better suited.

Having a 10x10 space devoid of obstacles is out of the question for most people

>>725126861 (OP)
I miss playing vr. I had a rift s. How is the quest 3? Thinking about getting one in a few weeks. I mainly just wanna play beat saber and fps games

>>725144241
trannies should be happy about being treated like this

>>725138790
>It's not a big deal you just build up a tolerance to the motion sickness and then it goes away
The average consumer does not want to spend two weeks acclimating to their fucking VR headset you idiot. You're like the people that use Linux that can't understand why the average normie won't use Linux.

>>725144316
>tfw had 0 furniture in my old apartment and converted the entire living room into a VR play space
That was a damn good year. Only moved out because of a wahmen needing "more space." Never do shit for the inferior gender, Anons.

>buying vr to reload a gun
>when in 2d monitor games you can simply press the R button to reload

>>725126861 (OP)
The only VR people care about is Sword Art Online style.
Right now we have strapping screens to your eyeballs and motion controls. The wii and the xbox Kinect already had motion controls, it's nothing new. Until Elon Musk makes his brain chips, no one will care about VR.

>>725144682
Reloading the gun is fun in VR. Every time you reload is an expression of skill. If you are fast and consistent you are rewarded with quicker reloads. If you flub it you pay the price. It is way more interesting than just pressing R. It's like a super fresh take on the active reload system from Gears of War. The only PC game with interesting reload mechanics doesn't have deathmatch so its pointless.

>>725144682
>Pressing WASD to move and R to reload
>When on youtube you can simply watch the videogame without having to use your hands at all

>>725144316
This is especially true if you're a yuropoor. Most young men I know either live with their parents which means they're confined to their small childhood bedroom or they live in a small apartment.
>inb4 living room
Yuropeon living rooms are small. If you have a wife and kids, there's just not enough room for VR.
>bedroom
Yuropoor bedrooms are usually just big enough for a queen size bed and a fitted closet.
>you don't a lot of space, just sit down!
Bullshit. VR is a pain in the ass if you don't have at least 7x7 ft or 2x2m of space, but realistically you need a bit more than that to feel comfortable.

>>725127010
Best post on teh website rn

Almost nothing uses roomscale anymore. I mean it works/registers bit not a required or expected play style

Flat-screen fps is entirely press a button or flick a stick/mouse. Its basically pong compared to vr physical aim. Made flat games completely uninteresting to me outside of pixel slop.

Quest 3 is great (for the lenses). If you haven't been on since UEVR its almost like UEVR is its own game system. Literally 100s of aaa games in vr now with modded motion controls (non melee)

Nobody wants to strap a tard-helmet to their faces.
