Don't pretend you don't like Star Trek...

Who remembers plopping down 20 bucks for 2 minutes in a shitty VR machine FPS back in the day with graphics worse than wolfenstein?

I don't know, I think in maybe 10 years when the technology has advanced this kind of thing will be a lot of fun. Right now it seems like a gimmick.

And I'm a trekkie.

Well said. VR is still very much a gimmick.

No interest n VR at the moment, an oculus rift first edition or whatever might be extremely collectible in a few decades tho

I do, it was awful. The head tracking latency was enough to make me physically ill after those 2 minutes, and whatever shitty flight game I was playing looked a lot like someone had just used ms paint to fill in the outlines to make the textures.

But, times have changed, and I can't imagine playing a cockpit-type game without VR ever again.

I'm a huge skeptic about technology, especially when you have some jackass talking about REVOLUTION!!

I knew 3d was bullshit
I know 4k tv (as of right now) is bullshit

I believe VR is not bullshit and I say that because I've been heavily using the technology for two years.

Within a few months, there will be demo stations for both Rift and Vive in a lot of major retailers; if you still think it's bullshit...go try it out. It really does have to be experienced to understand.
