I'm struggling with this whole 2D game experience in a 3D space. The racing game she's playing is much more suited to a couch and TV, rather than VR. So I thought maybe it's just a bad example but I can't think of any game that would benefit from being played this way or even offering something akin to a good time. That weird bland room she's in would creep me out I think, it would certainly affect immersion and to me that's what VR is supposed to enhance.
I understand watching a movie on a massive screen in a cinema in VR and it's one of the experiences that I'm looking forward to, but gaming in a room in a room. Nah.
I'm hoping that we get some mind blowing stuff at E3. Oculus lit this fire and the hype train has been unstopable since but recently, after all the tech talk and the rise of the competition (which has been fascinating to watch) I'm ready for games. I've forgotten why I want VR, it isn't for movies, and it certainly isn't to play games in some strangers sparse depressing living room. E3...
