Yeah, sure.

I think Sega understood VR more than Nintendo did

[Anonymous No.7831383]

lol, I love that reason.

>We nearly did not release the Virtual Boy because we were afraid that people would run into the stores by the thousands for it and trample each other to death. And that we could not live with being responsible for.

[Anonymous No.7831394]

That's why they released the activator instead, because it's a piece of shit.

[Anonymous No.7831402]

>>7831379
I agree. However, I suppose that in 1993 that VR would be more impressive but it has aged poorly.

There were arcade systems that used a similar technology that still have to be dumped.

I wish Sega would release a prop of that headset, always felt it looked cool.

Virtual Reality was a hot topic in the 90's.
How come it took 20 years for it to become relevant again?

It got a bad reputation as being crap compared to the science fiction imagined idea (e.g. Virtual Boy) and took a long time before people were willing to give it a chance again with much better technology.

[Anonymous No.7832217]

>>7831872
because history always repeat itself once you forget it. took about 20 years to forget so new dumbasses now trying this garbage again

There were VR software that could make 3D graphics back then.

the tech in the 90s fucking sucked, so it left a bad taste in people's mouths and they didn't want to bother with it until new tech came along.

[Anonymous No.7832462]

>>7831872
Everyone was thinking about the possibility WAY too far before it could become reality. If you look at shovelware 4th gen games trying to justify why their levels are all completely different places or why there are cool 90s kids in some history zone, half those game were one virtual reality plotline or another.

Battletoads in Battlemaniacs even tried to retcon all of the original Battletoads areas it included to take place all inside a virtual reality plotline, weirdly.

[Anonymous No.7832560]

no that's because all the game characters in the going into games machine smelled like SHIT

Reminder that thanks to Western developers that bothered to back up their source code, now we can emulate Sega VR with a HTC Vive.

Because the visual aspect is just now getting towards where they were thinking about, and are only just starting to realize that other senses are just as important to the immersion they're looking for. Haptic shit has leaps and bounds to make.

I keep seeing a lot of 360 videos that aren't even stereoscopic. Are headsetfags actually looking at a zoomed in video that's really close to their face and saying WOW ITS LIKE IM REALLY HAVING SEX?

this is true my dad worked for Sega they cancelled the VR early in R&D because it was evil and the kids would get sucked into it, Kid Chameleon was based on a true story

thats exaggerated, no one gets migraines from vr, a headache at most, im talking as someone who gets migraines that last the whole day due to my genes, along with eyepain and nausea leaving me unable to eat or drink. even if theres people who get this sick just from vr this sort of illness is treatable.
