Poll: Would You Eventually Like To See VR On The Xbox Series X?

I've never tried VR. Almost bought a PS4 just for the VR. Glad I didn't. I would buy VR for the Xbox.

I have a psvr and can't use it. Reason? It makes me feel very, very sick. Very. Sick.

Also I have to wear glasses when I'm on screens as I get eyestrain, and I can't have them on with that headset on, so there's that.

It also hasn't been well used in games. Moss worked really well I thought, wipeout looked great but the visuals took a hit, and it runs at 720p. I have a 4k set and a Ps4 pro, so even if I could play it for more than 10 mins, VR doesn't outweigh the benefits of 4k.

Its also a complete flop. Psvr is the best selling headset and its only in single digit sales. Spencer is correct to not bother with it. A complete waste of time. Even if they do get games to really show off the tech, a lot of people (like me) get very ill playing it. Honestly, I wanted to like it, I gave it a go, but its a nausea inducing, expensive extra with games that are nowhere near good enough

I could care less about VR.

All you have to do is look at the bomb known as PSVR to see that not a lot of people care about it.

Its not for me. I also wear glasses so I'd have to either switch to contacts for VR or suffer from eye strain.
Whenever anyone says VR is the future it reminds me of how 3D in cinemas was the future... Its fun for some yes, but it's never going to be the sole replacement. If people want it on Xbox sure why not. I'm still annoyed I can't play the new Half Life because it's VR.
For all this talk about accessibility, one thing VR most definitely isn't, is accessible.

I love my PSVR and think that some console competition from Xbox might potentially convince more devs to get involved. Only if sold well of course...

@pip_muzz Have you tried any of the recent VR headsets? I ask, as I wear glasses and play PSVR with them on all the time. I don't find it uncomfortable at all.

I love my psvr, saints and sinners is possibly my favourite vr title followed closely by beat sabre (feels amazing to play). Only reason I'd like to see vr for xbox is for flight sim

@BionicDodo Haven't tried any recent ones I have to admit, but it's the same with TV 3D glasses made for those who wear glasses. They're manageable but for me never fully comfortable. I always just want to take it all off and go back to 2D etc...
So long as there's a choice then I'm all for it. Resident Evil 7 being a very good example. I'm just a little sour that Half Life Alyx was VR only.
As much as I don't care for VR it would still be cool for Xbox to offer it for those interested.

@pip_muzz It's worth trying if you ever have the opportunity. I have the exact same issue with all 3D glasses, but the only issue I've ever had with PSVR headset and glasses is getting the whole thing setup and then realising I have a smear on my glasses and needing to take it off again to clean them!

@BionicDodo Haha I have that exact same thing everytime I go to the cinema. Sit down and realise I have smears lol.
I loved the Nintendo 3DS as that was glasses free.
I certainly get the appeal of VR. A friend had the starter game set with the ocean thing on PSVR. It's very immersive and cool I have to say.
My problem is after I while I just wanted to sit down on the sofa and play with a controller again. I'll admit the PSVR was a lot lighter than I was expecting. I think the future of gaming will essentially be a combination of both. Normal games, then some games VR enhanced and a few being VR only (I just hope not Half Life anymore lol)

I don't really care for VR, I'm glad Phil Spencer said VR is not one of our priorities right now..

I got an Oculus Quest in February and I've enjoyed it since.

It has problems related mostly to its limited power which the Series X would obviously be able to steam right over.

I'd love to a whole bunch of my Xbox games in VR. Sea of Theives would be amazing (when not being sea sick) in VR

Not sure. VR is still not a mainstream success, and the way it’s setup currently feels more of a PC type configuration.

I have a PS4 and the only reason I have considered getting it for is to play in cinematic mode, but wires and low resolution stopped me even when I see a big discount I feel apathetic, even at my PS4 playing hight.

I still don’t even know if I would be the type of person that develops nausea while in VR.

I voted “not sure” instead of “no” only based on the possibility that MS might come up with some unique approach.

@TheNewButler I've been saying that for a while, it's basically what they do with other accessory based games.

Just pick a baseline requirement for third party headsets/controllers and then the "risk" is on the hardware makers and MS earns a cut from games and DLC sold through the Xbox store.

If it goes well release an official Xbox headset, if not then they've lost nothing.

So as someone who you use to get sick walking around in alien isolation. It took me about 2 weeks to overcome the motion sickness. Now think of me, on the likes of dirt 2 lol, basically a roller coaster not affecting me at all loving it for hours back to back lol and I still actually get a bit nauseous in a real car. So I recon my brain knows the difference between real and fake.

@andyb12 All I can say is if the new tech is the likes of the new reverb 2 on xbox and the games from PC get ported over for a good selection of titles. I will be buying, hopefully at a reasonable price.

I am waiting for PSVR2. Given how "good" MS come along with consoles, i don't think they can afford splitting their focus to other field.

I haven't played any VR game because I heard it wasn't that good on PS4 and I didn't have a gaming PC. If resolution and frame rate are high I'd like to try it, at least. Realistically, Microsoft would prepare something for both Series X and PC or just use the best PC technology and games on Series X. That's the way to go because I don't want Series X to get involved in a mess like Kinect 2.0 or PlayStation VR.

I think they would be better off, if they don't make it a focal point. An add-on later on in the life cycle of the console. No one is expecting it, then all of a sudden BOOM vr and dope ass games.

One of xbo's failings, was forcing people to "kinect" If they introduced it, gradually, with some decent games, people might of looked differently on the device.

I'm not interested in VR but if it ever happens I'd be glad for those who want that experience.

Not unless someone invents a headset I can actually wear over my glasses. I can't play VR. Without my glasses I rapidly feel sick and get a headache. But with them on the headset presses my glasses back into my face and is massively uncomfortable.

And no, contacts are not a thing. How people can stand shoving plastic in their eyes is something I will never understand.

I think VR is just a gimmick that needs to die off

1. VR will never go away. Actually, it's on a steady incline right now.

2. My glasses are basically the same shape as Gordon Freeman's (Half Life Protagonist) and they fit underneath my Valve Index, My samsung odyssey + (the most comfortable) AND even my Oculus Quest (my least favorite for comfort.)

3. The psvr 1.0 is BASIC compared to any of these headsets I've mentioned

I understand why so many folks have a bad experience. It's a different world... So, when you say you wish it would fail, you're kind of the same person that says they want all drugs illegal..

Find a friend with VR.. call them a sitter. Ask them to help you.

Try to look past the click bait bullsh1t surrounding VR news.

I was just as much of a nay-sayer until I finally tried a real system.

also, look up "old people try VR" on Youtube. Or "Joshdub" or "Your Narrator" for entertainment

@SheddingShadow You forgot about Nintendo Switch cardboard VR. 😂

@BlueOcean lol I ignore labo and phone based VR for a very logical reason... They screw up my agenda of helping people see the potential in this ever growing tech

@DarksunRyda thank you for being a decent person. I don't know why people wish for their interests to be the only ones available for indulgence. No development team that's developing for VR has suffered from being "distracted". VR is an entirely new perspective and the insight can't be denied.

Facebook and apple are both investing A LOT of money into it.

If you want to bet against those two, let me know. I'll take that bet.

VR isn't going anywhere.
