We need actual gloves with tactile feedback, jeez

that's a gimick

haptic feedback would never work

it would be gimmick

Well, if it's not gonna work, then VR will remain a gimmick

Haptic feedback does not add to gameplay

you nigga what

That is a major point of *virtual* *reality*

it adds to emersion but that's gets very gimmicky the further you go

Being able to "touch" the *virtual* things as if they were *real*

I'm thinking of gameplay not of "virtual reality"

Seems like we have vastly differing concepts of what VR is

Though I'm glad that now, like four centuries after it getting made, they finally figured out how to make it wireless

They could've made it wireless ages ago it would just put a heavy strain on already strained systems

the tech that has become widely available is only just now able to run VR wirelessly

I love that you're the guy calling half life alyx gimmicky and your only argument is that VR is gimmick because it doesn't have haptic feedback, which is the biggest gimmick of VR possible

and I would say unwanted

for gameplay

vr doesnt add to gameplay either

tbh

what

this is like saying a physics engine doesn't add to gameplay

i mean a physics engine that doesnt get use to its full potential *doesnt* add to gameplay

What would you say is VR's "full potential"?

literal virtual reality

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

oh yeah because that

>imagine calling something vr and not even having movement simulation

is very possible right now

it not being possible is eactly why vr is a gimick

I would say VR's full potential is not only seeing things in 3D but also being able to touch them <:smugon:512048583806025739>

and why the only reason valve made alyx was to make $$$ off of index sales

But yea, it looks surprisingly good considering it's made by valve who for the past 3000 years made nothing but money

they emphasised accessibility to all VR systems as a key point of development

sure they wanted to increase sales of the index

but any VR system works just fine

Hell they didn't even need to make alyx if they wanted money, they made alyx to change people's perception of VR

something I can see hasn't worked at all

note how index took off mostly becuse of alyx

obviously

I'm not denying it was made to boost sales of VR
