/vr/ - Retro Games

Nah, I remember using VR headsets back in the 90s at amusement parks and what not, it was a cool gimmick.
But it's still just a visor stappled on your head. No matter how real the graphics get (I remember using VR of real-life footage anyway, it was on-rails, you didn't have control over it, but the effect of the gimmick was the same), you're still just using your eyes and ears to experience the VR. It's a fad that will come and go, like 3D.

Until VR becomes undistinguishable from reality (like, connecting your actual nervous system to VR), it's just gimmicks.

Also, VR is useless on games that aren't first person. What if I want to play a sidescroller? I'd rather just sit back on the couch and enjoy it without having something attached to my head.
