Hi everyone, and before we start, I really don't want this thread to become a typical discussion-type of post which end up being deleted and I just want to ask opinions on the following.
Small history behind all of this (you can skip if you'd like):
I would really like to get into VR, I've seen a lot of videos and feel that this is literally a completely different experience and when it comes to gaming something immersive and new. My sister is finally paying me back on some money that I had lent her over a long period of time, (about 3k USD) and I thought, "perfect timing, a few months from Christmas, blah blah..."
Now, I currently have a PS4, but after that whole new semi-console-generation-bs that sony pulled, it really pissed me off, and since then I have wanted to sell my PS4, but I am having a really hard time deciding on what to do. I have a buyer for my PS4 and games (5 physical) for 500$ (which I could put into the VIVE). And buying VR headset for the PS4 (old), which I have heard that VR will play better on the PS4 Pro, is a real pain and I feel that I would need to sell this PS4 to get a pro to enjoy PS-VR to the fullest... and rumors are coming that possibly a PS5 will be available with in the next 2-3 years. So this is frustrating, BUT I would be expecting the game catalog on the PS4 to be very large, right?
On the other hand, I thought about PC-VR, for which I would need to build a new PC and I would get the Vive which is backwards compatible* with rift games. I could then build a gaming PC good enough for the Vive, 1500-2000 USD, leaving the rest for shipping, etc, but I am really concerned with the following points:
Concerning Points:
1. Is VR dying ? Sales have practically stopped as I read, is it true?
2. In the next 1-2 years, which do you believe would have the best catalog of games? (Quality not Quantity)
3. Would it be worth jumping into the PC Master Race with Vive, or stick with the PS4 and PS-VR? (Thinking of the long run)
4. For those who have VR, is it really worth it?
5. Do you think PS VR games will have a smaller price tag similar to those under Steam? (Steam has sales! and there is also UTorrent)
Or 6. Just ditch gaming all together?
Thank you all for reading this and I would like to hear (read) your opinions.
Regards,
