Originally posted by LeGrosGamerV2 Let's start by having some decent MMO's where on release and 6 months later 80% of the population are still playing, instead of the 30% we currently have. Who cares about the stupid oculus rift? Barely no one uses 3D glasses or 3D TV's and they've been out for quite some time now. To the part about getting all the hardware required to use this piece of ... , A wise woman once said : " Ain't nobody got time for that ! "
The Oculus Rift has a better chance than 3D tech just largely due to the audience they're marketing towards.
Talking a family into paying 1k on a TV, 200 more bucks to start with 4 glasses, 50 a pop each if more people wanted them, plus Sony and others propriership over the tech hampered that tech. It's cool, but tv watching and movie viewing is a more social experience. Also the majority of 3D content for home was a crap experience. The content sucked*. (content is king)
MMOs and video games are social as well, but 90% of that is now done across the network with people at their own stations. Plus the price point is well within what gamers will pay even just for the gadget factor.
Content will prove if the OR sticks around or not.
Somewhat ironic.
I watched a video of people from various parts of the world communicating with each other in a VR theather and yet the CEO of Take Two the creators of GTA series thinks that virtual reality is in his words...'anti-social'....lol as if blowing people up in a game is not.
Very ironic...
Coming from a guy who said "there is zero social interaction going to a movie theatre" guess you've never been on a date, brought your kids or nephews to a movie, gone by yourself and seen the group of teens running around, or throwing popcorn at each other during the movie...yeah zero social interaction.../facepalm
Sorry, I have to agree with SEANMCAD.
A theater is NOT meant to be a social gathering place to interact with other people. In fact, you usually are told to remain silent during the movie ... and I personally hate rude people who talk during the movie.
As for going on a date? ROFL ... well I am engaged and let me just say movies isn't a good place to interact with a loved one. Ok sure, you can hold hands and maybe cuddle a little while watching a movies. To me that isn't being social.
Does social interaction happen at theaters? Of course, in the lobby and before the movie ... but once the movie starts, No .. unless you are extremely rude and immature.
Last but not least, your making yourself look very bad here. I have read through the entire thread, and personally all I see is you being pretty rude toward SEANMCAD just because you don't agree.
I am interested in VR .. so it's very reasonable for him to post these topics. You act like no one cares about VR, but in fact there are some who don't share that sentiment.
