I’ve always said that AR was the real future. Technology that isolates people from others in the same room as them always seems to fail.

Personally i don’t see VR as the future of gaming, VR is all about an increase in immersion which isn’t always what you want in a video game. It’ll be its own unique thing. As to whether or not it’ll remain niche entirely depends on how the technology develops and its ease of use. From what i tell now, and what VR will probably be used for predominately (and well its mostly being used this way anyway) is socializing. Yeah you can play video games with it but I think the primary drive for VR for a lot of people will be what is essentially digital chatroom, movies, theme parks basically VR chat and things like it.

Uh, what VR?

I bet Half life alyx was supposed to be HL3, but the tech wasn’t there yet so the project changed.
