Beat Saber is fun, sure. But it doesn't feel like a "killer app"; it's just a must-have game. It's isolating -- playing it around other people is just kinda weird, and you can share the screen but the timing is off by enough to make the game and the viewers out of sync (for a rhythm game that is just deadly). And the song library is very limited, and add-on packs are expensive. In the end, though, the replayability is not infinite.
I completely agree. As a consumer device VR is a dead end and that's before even talking about costs and inconvenience.
AR could have some uses but the tech needs to be so much better that it's a pipe dream for now.
I really don't get the hype for those things; I have tried many and never ever I really felt I needed or wanted one. In fact all the things I did in the headset I would rather do outside.
People talking about a gimmick game that exist in other forms on pretty much every platform are stuck in a fantasy world...
It just feels like a dead end technology.
