PlayStation VR
bender3455:
So, I'm totally STOKED about PlayStation VR, and have already preordered a bundle. I'm cautiously worried that the peripheral will become like the Kinect, with developers realizing only a small subset of users have a Kinect and develop poorly for it. But, the quality of the games that I'm seeing, and the backing for many more games has me thinking that this might become the 'must have' peripheral. With Kinect, we didn't really know what to do with that, other than dance, which was pretty good. What would make me squeal with excitement would be a Panzer Dragoon VR game. Imagine an on-rails, dragon riding shooter!

That's the biggest problem with peripherals. Third party devs know that there's a LOT less money to be made by requiring such. This is why Nintendo packs-in things that have traditionally required peripherals (4-player ability, motion control, etc.)
It's gotta be there from the get-go so that devs won't even question whether or not they should use it.
TDIRunner:
My biggest concern is the number of different companies coming out with VR at about the same time. It's already going to be s small market (at least at first) and that will be spread out among multiple different companies. It probably won't be that different from the console wars, except there will be a lot less people buying it.

I'm in, even if only for the fact I can play existing games and movies on it for a cinema effect.
I go most of my gaming on my own, so it's not particularly anti social for me.

I'll probably only get the Playstation 4 VR set, and even that only if there is really great games that really take good anvance of it.
Floating in air Minecraft is not good enough.
