My hot take: VR is an amazing technology, but it's no good for games - at least not the best majority of games we originally developed for flat screens.
We need to create entirely new styles of entertainment to fully use this medium, instead of modding existing titles or bolting on VR modes.
Do yourself the favor and play a racing sim with vr and a wheel. Its crazy how immerser you get, that does not work as well on flat screens.
What? VR is fantastic for games. At least for first person games.
I played the original Doom's hardest episode (Plutonia) entirely in a VR mod. It was fantastic.
Did you mean to reply to my comment? In a vr user myself and id agree with you, i was just pointing out, that for me, the most immersion happens when driving cars.
Oops no, sorry. Wrong comment, my bad.
