VR
Selling my Vive tomorrow, before it&#x27;s too late (unsellable due to something better on the market). &lt; 50 hours use over several months. The visual quality is awful, not just resolution, but the lenses are terrible as well. Glare, very blurry except for a narrow center, the rings of the fresnel lenses are very noticeable. The glare is unbearable in any games with a lot of contrast, like space sims, that retro arcade hall game was terrible in this aspect, too, whatever it was called.<p>I&#x27;m not going back to try VR till the resolution is something like 8k per eye and the optical quality is far better. FOV needs to be much wider, HMD lighter and more comfortable, and of course wireless (I know you can get this now).<p>I have a dedicated home theater and room scale still does not work, because you will never have enough physical space in a regular home, and have to teleport around in games anyway.<p>The only games that really work are seated cockpit games. Racing, space sim, flight sim, etc.<p>Nausea was not an issue for me. Nor the &quot;anti-social&quot; issue, I&#x27;ve never been a party gamer, I like to play games alone, in a dark room with headphones on, sat at my desk staring at a monitor, or alone on the couch with a gamepad in my home theater enjoying surround sound and a 106&quot; screen.<p>All made-for-VR games I&#x27;ve tried so far have been mediocre and more like small demos than full games. Best experiences were games not made for VR but with added VR support: Assetto Corsa and iRacing. Probably the only two games worth having VR at all for, but personally I&#x27;ll wait for 6th gen or whatever will be good enough for me.<p>The games I like the best works better without VR. Sim racing games could be one exception, but are, for the moment, better with a triple monitor setup. Games like Pillars of Eternity have no need for VR, IMO.<p>Certainly VR has potential, I just think the HMDs we have now feel old and dated already. It&#x27;s 2016 (when released) and it&#x27;s heavy and wired, basically ski goggles with crappy monitors and crappy lenses hugging my face.
