Skyrim and fallout 4 VR.

[mad825]

The expensive VR shit should be all about the virtual screens like monitors or TVs in an AR enviroment, so that it can supplant them. Then the convenience functions, like virtual shopping and concerts. Then a host of other things before games. But that's something the gaming focused side blinded themselves to, leading to here, you asking if after a dozen other games, is this the one to finally validate you. It won't.

Virtual screens like monitors or TVs in an AR environment is just plainly AR. You cannot use VR and AR synonymously, VR is being placed in a computer generated environment like the holodeck in Star Trek (if we were to push the boundaries of physics) and AR is simply existing in the real world with added modification to the environment realistically known as terminator vision and idealistically a holodeck without having to push boundaries of physics.

Wow, so much hate...

I for one can't wait to try Fallout 4 in VR. Is it the best Fallout game? No, but it is still a fun game, I like it.

I actually do own a Vive, and up until now I have been a bit on the fence if it was worth it or not due to the lack of actual games for it. All the "demos" are fun and all but nothing that really grabs me for any length of time. Mostly I used it for Elite: Dangerous, but felt a bit iffy about not getting to use the thing to its full potential with roomscale and all, as you mostly just sit in a chair.

Then I finally got to try Minecraft in VR in my new apartment with a decent sized room setup.. Say what you will, but that right there is something else, and if that is what I'll get with Fallout 4 I'll be very happy. I mean I have played my fair share of Minecraft in the past, but playing it like that feels very different and new.
Sure all it is is a change to your point of view, but it makes a huge difference to the whole experience.
As for strapping a thing to my face? Not a big problem when I forget it's there.

There is one big issue with VR though, and that is movement. I hope they find a good way to move about in a open world soon, because teleporting is weird and sliding around can quickly make you motion sick.

In any case, I think just simply adding VR to already finished games is a good idea as long as you put some work into it.
While I'd love to see more new games designed for VR, we desperately need more full length games out there. Adding it to popular games is the easiest way to do it, as you don't have to develop all the content. And who cares if it's an older game? A good game is a good game dammit.

I've already exhausted both Skyrim and Fallout 4 of all content. I'm not playing through either one of those games again. Nothing about this excites me. VR really needs a killer app of its own designed for VR from the ground up. Then it's got to get fantastic reviews followed by great word of mouth. Then I might start to consider it. Until then, I'll just remain optimistic about it and hang onto my wallet.
