If you didn’t become a VR gamer in 2024, you probably never will
- 2024 was a fantastic year for VR games, but it still wasn’t enough to win over skeptics.
- The outlook for VR gaming looked fantastic coming out of 2023
- My personal favorite this year is Thrasher, a VR follow-up to rhythm cult classic Thumper.
- Batman: Arkham Shadow, which has unseated Half-Life: Alyx as the tech’s crown jewel.
- There’s a sense that the tech is evolving, and its games along with it.
- 2024 was a fantastic year for VR games, and the fact that it still wasn’t enough to win over skeptics means that nothing will.
- The truth may just be that VR has hit its ceiling.
- When the tech is cheaper and more comfortable than ever, and games are as good as they are on any traditional platform, what more can companies do?
- As long as VR gaming design great games around the player base that exists, VR gaming could comfortably remain in a happy niche for a while longer.
- Instead, I hope that companies learn to enjoy where they’re at now.
