Ik a lot of y’all are probably gonna disagree with this statement and that’s awesome. tell me why you disagree because hearing peoples different povs is so interesting, love y’all!

As a software engineer i think providing good quality apps is much easier than the hardware making phase, so i guess when we reach a level where everyone can afford good quality headsets with cheap price in this case we can start producing high quality vr destined software. Same story with mobile phone and thank you for your video

50 years old just getting into vr loveing it

The quest 2 has been weighing down PCVR, the jump from Boneworks graphics to Bonelab graphics are obvious. The quest 3's new hardware should hopefully help mitigate this massive nerf in visual quality.

If you are going to claim that VR is wasted potential, then you should provide some ideas for how to solve it. I agree that VR is still missing that killer app and that it has a lot of potential. But it's not completely from a lack of trying. The biggest problem has been from hardware simply not being good enough. But the tech is getting better and competition is heating up. With the Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro, VR has hit an inflection point where its popularity will snowball with each new upgraded hardware release.

I agree, and imo in terms of software, they also aren't thinking in VR The UI is just tablet UI but big, environments both in VR and AR have zero customizability, AR apps barely exist and those that do are copy pasted from PC or tablet

This kid is charming and talented. Decent editing skills. Keep it up bro.

I completely agree, VR is an amazing idea, and has been entirely underutilized. Though, some of the stuff I've seen about the apple vision makes me kind of want to become an apple person. Like, you're telling me I could have 3D tracked timer's above food I'm cooking in the kitchen, with a game pulled up on one side, and KZfaq on the other? As a lifelong gamer, and game development enthusiast, scraping it as a pure enjoyment device and exploring the ease of life it could provide sounds good to me.

Removing the controller rings is super important. The # of times I've caught a finger on a ring while punching is too damn high.

Speaking of potential… Noah you’ve made an amazing video and I love your content! Earned my subscription :)

Also vr headsets are absolutely worth It for gaming Contractors, Pavlov, half life alyx, and a whole slew of other games are an absolute blast. Productivity seems to have been nearly perfected by Apple on their first try. What doesn't seem to exist is something that does it all well and at an affordable price. Guess we will see how the vr landscape looks like at the end of 2024

Good video! I think you're on point with a lot of your observations. The main thing that holds back software development for VR is that it's financially unviable for game studios. They just can't make enough money making VR games. The ones that exist are largely passion projects. These developers forgo making more money because they love VR that much. But that's a hard thing to ask of them. I think the most fundamental problem right now is that most VR gamers _still buy flat games_. Even the most hardcore of VR gamers continue to buy flat games at the same rate they did before VR. That means developers get literally the same dollar from those gamers by ignoring VR and continuing to make flat games only. Since flat games are much cheaper and easier to develop than VR games, this makes it financially a bad choice for game studios to make VR games. In fact, as long as VR gamers are still entirely willing to buy flat games, no matter how much the VR installed base grows, it will never make financial sense for game studios to make VR games. If we as consumers want more VR games, then buy VR games and don't buy flat games. Make it so the only way developers can get your dollar is by making the VR games you want.

Keep up the great work. Your content creation is extremely well done 🎉

I completely agree, VR is an amazing idea, and has been entirely underutilized.

I agree. I've had to refund most of the quest games I bought, for lackluster content. Such a shame.

I bet there will be another wave of VR Games somewhen in the future when Nintendo or some other big game company finally puts some development money into it

To me what encapsulates the whole problem is that RE4 is still one of the best and most worthwhile games on Quest. There are no games being created that are trying to match this quality in terms of gameplay and combat and story and exploration and art design and so on. On PC they aren't making games trying to match the quality of Half-Life Alyx. It's like everything is some sport minigame, like darts or minigolf, or some shooting gallery. Then there's the competitive multiplayer games, which means developers trying to emulate rocket league or overwatch or something else. Everything feels like a minigame or a knockoff. Many VR games are like bad phone games, simple straightforward repetitive experiences with low quality assets and designed to take an extra $10 out of your pocket. They keep pumping these games because they're a novelty product that is cheap and you'll be done with it in a couple sessions. The games that are designed to make a lasting impression are few in between.

I bought the Quest Pro, my first good VR experience, the first time I was able to wear the headset for more than half an hour..., the Quest 2 had not an IPD adjustment inclusive for big head people xD..., and it felt very front heavy..., but the Pro lenses and rigid strap, well, I was able to enjoy VR. About the amount of available hardware, I see it like R&D fruits for the masses, even so, while thinking on the past I cannot believe IPD and proper weight distribution weren't nailed from the beginning (I assume it was to reduce costs, for sure manufacture chains weren't as solid), a lot of trade-offs have been made due to releasing products with unready tech, something that is still happening, but thanks god we already have a couple of options of wearable headsets xD (even when the most of them from the box are uncomfortable :/)...

dude looks 12

Just wait until full dive comes out in the next uhhh 10-15 years maybe even 1000 : D

Valve please hurry up with your deckard

there's so much that could be done with vr but it truly is wasted potential and the apple vision pro is not a vr headset

I thought the thumbnail just had a stock 10 year old with headsets. That's not a bad thing you'll probably live to 100

Quest 3 enters the room 😊

Just asking is it really virtual reality or just cartoon images and games 🎮 ?

underrated youtuber :(

tbh I feel like pc vr isn't much different from standalone at this point. graphics are obviously improved, but over all it's like >10% better.

Well said kid, really well said... (and yes im old)

Sadly it is a gimmick. Sitting in front of a big screen tv 85” is much more comfortable that also reacts to your hands and your moves.

Yes thank you, I agree. VR could be so much more but it’s being held back by a lack of software. I will say I think the quest pro could be a better deal than some headsets. The controllers can track themselves without the need of base stations, and they can track very well. Plus for 1000 you’re getting a headset that can be used by itself. I also got the big screen beyond, and I think it’s sadly a bit disappointing for what you pay. It doesn’t work by itself, and the image quality is affected by glare. Quest 3 is an amazing deal for cheaper though, but without face tracking. What we really need though is more amazing apps like half life alyx. There is a reason it’s considered one of the best apps for VR. Very cool video my dude.

noah: these games are not good enough, they suck. me: haha funny gorilla go boing boing boing

hey there as a valve index user i saw this video and immediately clicked why would you put that as the title 😭

push the algo

Valve where are you

I actually agree with this, VR is my favorite way to experience any sort of media, and i feel a ton of currently wasted potential and future wasted potential.

You have very nice hair.

150th like

is that a hat on your head or is it your hair?

oh shit a talking tree

you have no idea what you're talking about lmao
