Why Virtual Reality Has CRASHED

31 Comments

1. I'd love to get VR, it's just the price and the effort…….and effort is a no no 😉

2. I wonder if LG is going to use the transparent OLED they've developed to make some sort of augmented reality glasses

3. Wow ? Why show the Vive pro ?
   The normal vive is like 500$.

4. dont know what you mean since vr is growing every year. the tech is getting cheaper every year and even a 1050ti meets the minimum req… i wouldnt recommend anything under a 1060 for vr but that doesnt mean its impossible… i think lowspecgamer (or whatever his channel is called) did a video where he build a complete system with vr headset for just a fev hundret bucks soooooo….

5. I've spent the last 6 months in VR every night with 8+ friends who also have VR headsets, and our group is only growing.

   VR didn't crash.

6. The problem is people bitch about everything now a days.

7. Beat saber is amazingly fun

8. seems like luke should have come back for this video… vr is sorta his thing

9. They should change the title to why did the HYPE for virtual reality crash

10. Could you not get a white backdrop and avoid the crappy greenscreen?

11. psvr isnt as bad as it sounds but i havent compared it to a pc vr but my room is really small and i works well

12. Everyone is probably waiting for valves headset

13. I'm old enough to have seen VR coming and going a few times as the 'next big thing' and I've tried every incarnation. It's fun for ten minutes and then it's not so much fun for ten minutes and then it's just annoying. The big problem as far as I can see is that it demands 100% of your attention 100% of the time. While you're VR-ing you can't roll a a cigarette, eat a bag of crisps, pat the dog on the head or scratch your arse.

14. VR ha estado creciendo desde hace muchos años, solo en los últimos se ha pegado un salto, hay que darle un poco mas de tiempo a que sea mas barato/cómodo

15. Niche gaming markets like Flight-Sims are perfect for VR, but they are not driving volume sales and are hardly worth mentioning.

16. I just made the guy next to me subscribe to Techquickie. We are getting married soon.
    So… I dunno. Recommended…? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

17. Half my paycheck? If only i was employed by you Linus ?

18. VR can take you to fantastic new worlds like a ….uh….. a cooking simulator?

19. 1)High-end hardware is needed? Yeah, GTX 1050 Ti is high-end.
    2)People don't want to wear a bunch of gadgets? Carrying around a smartphone and dongles around is fine.
    3)Small living spaces are unsupported? Seated VR gaming experiences are a thing.
    4)Lack of games? I almost have more VR games than non-VR games. Check Steam. There are games, new and old.
    5)VR development is expensive and too intensive? There are numerous devkits for Unity, Unreal Engine 4, etc. Developers are just lazy. Go make some more sequels.

    If you can't afford a GTX 1060 or even a 1050 Ti, you weren't going to be playing PC games anyway. For just $200, PSVR is for you. Hecc, Windows Mixed Reality headsets were just $200, last I looked. VR is far from dead. The only thing killing it is videos like these.

    3:45 Did you diss Job Simulator?! Excuse me what the frick!

20. How "Tech as fast as possible" is made.

21. Watching this on my VirtualBoy

22. Why did you guys not mention windows mixed reality headsets? They are getting cheap af and they don't need a lot of space

23. Just attended a seminar on VR gaming and its future just a couple of weeks ago. I had the same thoughts about why VR gaming is unusual and pretty much unnatural because of it's complications and highly expensive set up. The traditional computers provide much more value for the money with a range of choices for gaming, which totally destroys the idea that VR is the future of gaming.

24. vrchat, beatsaber, job simulator and rec room

25. in sim racing its an insane upgrade to the experience.

    the immersion it adds to assetto corsa and ETS2 with a proper steering wheel is insane.

26. the same problem as with electric cars xD

27. VR just requires too much room. Better off with another console.

28. I use it every day without problems however i do not use moving parts like vive i fucking hate wii nonsense. I just want vr and not reality boxing or so.

29. oh cmon.. someone made P.T. with Unreal engine and it has VR support. Time to crap your pants.

30. Have a great day 🙂

31. VR simply costs way to much and there is no real commitment from game developers for those things
