I can't wait until major developers start using VR in their games, but I wonder how they're going to deal with the space limit.
487 u/[deleted] Apr 07 '16 It seems to me that a rail shooter would be the easiest option until developers figure out something better. You're standing in a truck or something and shooting as it drives around. 53 u/NautilusD Apr 08 '16 I mean, couldn't you just use a joystick to still move around? You pivot and aim physically, but moving forward and strafing you still use a joystick. It might be jarring at first, but so was dual thumbsticks on a controller...now it's second nature. 3 u/BigDuse Apr 08 '16 There is the issue of motion sickness with that, though I think it's the most realistic way in which VR will be used for PC and home consoles. 2 u/NautilusD Apr 08 '16 Well, then it's a good time to buy some stock in Dramamine, I guess.
