The Oculus Rift/Project Morphesus might fail.

The main point I'm trying to get at is the Oculus Rift might not last that long. The Oculus Rift is unnecessary for people like me. People like me already have a TV to see and they don't need it. Yeah, it's not just a screen like you say it is. But, look here. Oculus Rift is a Virtual Reality head mounted display right? Virtual Reality, like you said, is something to have you engaged physically right? That kind of thing only works for things like flight simulators, racing simulators, and some FPS shooters. Games like that. Games that have a First Person perspective camera. That's it. That's what it's going to possibly work on. "The difference between a game and a new technology is completely different. You have to keep in mind that games are known for their story and game play. While, game systems are judged on the new technology. Virtual Reality is a big stepping stone in the gaming Industry. Like I have said many gamers have looked forward to one day actually transport into a game, for example skyrim. the big thing is not just the headset its the virtual reality aspect of this. This is one piece to an even bigger picture. With the Omni treadmill: (http://www.virtuix.com......) we can transport ourselves in. Its not just the VR headset, its what we can now do with it." If you take it literally, yes, a new game and new technology are the same thing because games are technology. Games drive the gaming industry. Virtual Reality is a breed of fresh air for gamers. I know that. But, for how long? That's the question you have to ask. You can't just assume that it's going to be revolutionary just because it sounds cool. You have to ask how long will it last? Why should I care? What are the Pros and Cons? It seems that the Oculus Rift has a some cons even though it has some pros. Con #1: Motion Sickness Now, this doesn't affect everyone. But, people get sick by tense movement ,and it seems to me that a lot of people have some kind of sickness from tense motion. Even though they're not moving, they can probably still get sick. It's like a Placebo Effect. Some people have to play for a few minutes then stop. Then keep playing and stop. Con #2: It won't work unless if you're playing a game that's purely built for it This is going to be a huge problem in the future because this is going to be from the hands of the game developers. Not the people making the headsets themselves. Now, some developers will actually take advantage of the Oculus Rift and give you the 100% experience you want. But, here's what I think is going to happen. Some developers will probably purposely underuse the elements of the Oculus Rift and use that as a stratagem to get your money. The game has to be built from the ground up for the Oculus Rift. It has to be highly modified and that is going to take time. Companies who are money hungry like EA doesn't like the idea of taking time and spending money. AND, that also means, when you get it, you won't be able to enjoy the games you already have to play on the Oculus Rift. You have to wait and nobody likes waiting. Con #3: Most shooters won't work that well Games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, or any game that has fast paced action (Yes, Battlefield has some fast paced moments like Call of Duty. Don't lie.) is not going to work. That goes back to the motion sickness I was talking about. The only First Person games that's going to work are slower paced games. Games that don't have you running around like a headless chicken. And, those games are boring. Really, do you want to play nothing but slow paced games when you spent 300 dollars on something to feel "immersed" into the gaming realm? I'm assuming not because nobody is going to do that unless you're super patient. Con #4: Games need to have perfect specifications. Games need to have 1080p resolution and needs to run at 60fps in order to get the full out of the Virtual Reality. It has been reported that if there's any kind of lag coming from the game, it's going to cause all sorts of problems. Again, motion sickness. It needs to be a very, very powerful system. It comes down to cost. The people who made the Oculus Rift has said they want to price it where everyone can afford it. Now, I can afford the Oculus Rift. I'm just not the gamer who wants it. Con #5: The games that are purely for Oculus Rift seem to be PC games Now, I don't know about this, but every game I saw in this list were primarily PC games. Go see the link. If you're not a PC gamer, you're probably not going to get the full experience maybe. I think that's what I'm getting at. Seriously, is there any game on this list that you are interested in besides Titanfall? Do you even know what the **** these games are? If you have a PC, maybe, you're going to be interested in these games. But, I don't have a PC. (Well, not yet) I have no clue of what these games are. Especially the ones they say that's already released. I haven't seen one game that has Oculus Rift support that's not on the PC from this particular list. http://en.wikipedia.org... Con #6: It can potentially touch your eyes For me, that's not even a point because I have glasses, but for people who don't, they can get their eyes poked. He said that it will happen rarely, but eh. I hate getting my eyes touched. IT SOUNDS WEIRD AND DISGUSTING MAN! Con #7: Sweat The guy said that if you wear it too long, you will sweat A LOT. Well, I sweat a lot anyway. So, that means I will sweat even more and that sweat will blur the lenses. You're probably going to have to take off the Oculus and clean your lenses on your Oculus Rift very frequently. I mean, some gamers who are excited for the Oculus Rift are extremely lazy people. I mean, this random guy in the comment section said that the use of the Oculus Rift is so you don't have to turn your head even though that's completely wrong. He said you can get super lazy with it and don't even have to move. So, I know that they will be too lazy to take it off and clean it. The guy I'm talking about is in these 2 links: #aid=P3p55Wr2NQA #aid=P9sjIu7rzMA Wow, I'm less than 1,400 characters left to type. I never expected to type these many. Con #8: Very small dirt particles Since, the lenses zooms the picture in. The smallest dirt speck will become easily noticeable and it will be annoying because, again, you're going to be frequently cleaning your lenses on the Oculus. Probably once you're done, 5-8 minutes of cleaning your lenses, you still see tiny dirt specks. You're going to be asking, "how the **** are these dirt specks getting in my lenses?" It's going to be severely annoying. "Before I truly counter I'm not at all sure what 6% stands for, is it 6% of the world population? I don't want to say anything I'm not sure of. So if you could elaborate more on that, it would be helpful. Thanks!" That calculation stands for the gaming community. I know that number is probably not even close to the actual number. But, I do know that 9,000 is pretty small compared to the entire gaming base. I'll post another link. My arguments may seem very biased and I'll just come down to this in an unbiased way. The Oculus Rift is made for primarily for gaming. That's what the guy said who was part of the development team of the Oculus Rift. Whether you want the Oculus Rift or not is clearly depending on what kind of gamer you are and your personal preferences. I'm not going to force the ideal of VR Headsets is going to fail down your throats. It may sound like I am, but I'm not. The people that you say that wanted this for years will definitely enjoy the Oculus Rift because they want it so badly and it looks promising enough to have them enjoy it. But, someone like me, who is skeptical about Virtual Reality and thinks he/she doesn't really need it will not probably enjoy it. The Oculus Rift might fail for some gamers. It just depends what kind of gamer you are. I'll give the Oculus Rift this: IT LOOKS 20X BETTER THAN THE KINECT AND PS MOVE COMBINED! I'd rather pay for an Oculus Rift even though I don't feel like I need one than buy a Kinect or PlayStation Move. Now, those things are definitely pointless to buy. I do think that the Oculus Rift will last way longer than the Kinect. Actually, I think the Kinect/PS Move died the very second it was born. LOLOLOLOLOL! Anyway, I think that the Oculus Rift/Project Morphesus might die slowly. When I mean slowly, I mean it will probably be the big thing for a little while, and then it will die. I probably think the developers will ruin it. I don't know a direct reason as to why the Virtual Reality headset will fail. I just sense something is about to f**k up. I can just smell it. *Sniff* I couldn't barely find any sources to support my arguments without using YouTube because most people don't even look at the cons. That's another thing, people don't look at the cons. They always look at the pros and only looking at the pros will always set you up for disappointment. I'll just post more links if I see any.

I have typed 10,000 characters. YES! I'm done, I'm going to rest, I'm going to eat some cake, and I'm going to BED! PS: Again, I really still don't care about this debating topic right and now and I'm still not taking this debate seriously. Actually, I don't really take anything seriously to be honest.
