Developers speaking to the Game Developers Collective seem to think the VR games market has hit a roadblock, even with this year's launch of the Apple Vision Pro.
It’s only that way because developers don’t seem to be, you know… Developing shit for it.
Like, I love a lot of what’s available and the tech itself is great; but there is no killer app. There is next to nothing but novelty bullshit being made. Even if Meta wasn’t the one with the cheapest headset, people wouldn’t necessarily be buying into VR because there’s not really much to do with it yet.
One Half-Life game, a chatroom, and a bitching rythym game isn’t enough.
What, like a wheel and some pedals? Or would you go full-on actual car stuff? I met a guy once who turned the entire back half of his trailer into a plane cockpit for his flight sims. Had actual instruments and switches and stuff. I’m sure with what it had to cost, he could have just bought a real plane. lol
Well really that’s where I’d say it’s up to you, the quasi real cockpit would not be worth it but most “entry level” sit down rigs and a wheel cost about $4-500 all in

It’s killer app to me is sim racing but it requires too much additional investment
