So how is that VR thing going CCP?

Take notes, CCP.

Houm… maybe a rule 34 + VR version of this?

:flushed:

There is no need to add rule 34 since it already is done. Animated movie of teachers sexual interaction with student is all over the internet already. The VR touch will come as soon as there is enough $$$ incentive to put in the extra level of effort.

There was less for doing games. Only problem may be there are not enough people who would do that kind of tutoring or learning in CCP. :thinking:

When jumping on the bandwagon, the early jumper sometime get the wrong wagon…

First of all most people who bought it did it for watching porn
Than came all the shitty unfinished VR games to make a quick buck
Than there were good games but made you dizzy and motion sickness and stuff which is understandably with such kind of device using it like regular gaming.
One reason could also be the current tech hardware most people still have can’t run VR so they didn’t bought it yet.
Must be a bit of a disappointment when you came home with it to watch some humans interact with each other in some kind of way and you can’t run it.

Even if you can run it, you are still talking about a peripheral that cost a few hundred and has a rather shallow dept of application in most game library for now. It probably will have good application in the flight sim genre for example but for the same price range, you are likely to land yourself a high-end HOTAS set that will work with your complete flight sim game library as opposed to just select titles right now because any old game you might like won’t turn to VR.

It also sound like an additional monitor that you can only turn on for a few specific games. It remains a questionable investment from a gamer perspective right now.

CCP Games shuts down VR development

After 2-3 years the people commenting in this thread will have the right tech on their heads without the need of a computer, so to use it. On a price around 500$ to 200$ with several tools like VR wands and other “toys” to invest on, rather than giving their money on super GPUs etc. Judging the market globally speaking by making comparisons to ccp’s actions is just ridiculous.

I understand that most of you, are consumers, that want here and now everything in hand, but reality doesn’t work that way. The days that decent games, decent platforms, and applications will be in your reach are not far away in the future.

Everything that is an infant 100% commercially speaking, needs patience. It is an empty place the one that VR represents and stands there, for software devs and hardware inventors to fill it up. They already have the investors and the hipe on their shoulders. They just need some time. Normally a couple of years are not enough and apparently the people that cannot understand those facts are a lot.

CCP failed, on bringing forward their vr projects because of their internal problems. Is not a fact, that, one can use so to predict what will happen or make conclusions about what is going on in the vr sector.
Excuse my poor English.

Yes, it was because of the VR wand. Not because normal screens already present a pretty good experience and convenience without the need to strap a headset to the face. Once we have VR wands everything will be gewd!

Same goes for 3D TVs, don’t jump off the hype train just yet!

Untill I get my net-brain interface there is nothing appealing in halfmeasures.

What was awesome of VR 1.0 was that it opened 3D universes in a world were all game graphics were 2D. You had sprites on your PC games and that 3D+VR technology from another world. Now VR 2.0 is competing against the impressive 3D universe-on-2D screens that weren’t a thing in VR 1.0 but are now a standard and highly developed technology.

VR is just a complicated gimmick that blocks you from reality and provides… well… a 3D world that it’s not as nice as the ones you enjoy on your 4k flat screen. In some niches, the experience is quite better, but for the average game, it’s just pointless. And the hardware itsellf, aside of being heavy, and heating your eyes, in some cases isn’t compatible with correction lenses, which is an issue when in the developed world 60% of people use lenses every day or always.

Augmented reality is a much more promising technology, and it does something completely new.

When I started this thread 4 months ago, I really had no clue how prophetic it would be.

I feel terrible for the 100 people who lost their jobs. I don’t feel at all terrible about yet another failure added to the tremendous track record of CCP management.

in fact AR has a brighter future because it feels more natural by using a headset which brings your desktop in front of your eyes in the real world through a holographic ideal. The VR industry definitely has to wait so for the hardware to be user-friendly and then who knows…maybe the prices on the lasik eye operations will drop too in the developed world… :wink:
I believe there is much to wait and see in this sector. For now, the industry is safe by the investorts that choose to open thematic parks so to bring the hipe on and the technological evolution that comes with it.

only thing VR is good for is Porn…

just how many times must this simple statement come true… gaming companies simply can not offer a complete package to VR and more than likely never will… many folks knew this which is why MANY FOLKS DID NOT BUY INTO IT!.. think about it… are you willing to shell out 3-4K dollars for a headset to play 1 simple game? or a small library of week games? hell no… only an addict would

incredible how ccp management failed once again… that should also mean that firing from the top needs to occur…

3d tv, Microsoft’s “illumi-vision”, VR mobile games,

all that was cash grabs for idiots who just fling out cash to be on the “1st” list…

It looks like porn is good on any device. :rofl:
