VR has yet to have a breakout, must-own hit that has penetrated the mainstream, though Austin-made “Job Simulator” may have come the closest. In a worrying sign, Best Buy has removed about 200 of its 500 Oculus Rift demo stations from stores in Canada and the U.S., reportedly due to lack of interest. Each still requires a wired connection they currently can’t operate wirelessly, though future versions probably will.Įven the most mainstream offering in VR, the $400-$500 Sony PlayStation VR, has been met with mixed reviews and a limited number of games available. That’s not counting the price of the computer to run them.

Oculus Rift and the Vive both require a fast Windows machine with a powerful graphics processor (Macs need not apply) and they each cost about $800 when you factor in a set of controllers sold separately for the Oculus. The GearVR is an inexpensive option if you already own a high-end Samsung smartphone, but the content is only as good as what can be powered by the processor and graphics of that mobile device. So far, VR feels like a bit of an uphill climb for consumers. The future might be a mix of both technologies, with devices that can offer augmented and virtual reality, seamlessly blending the real world with the virtual. Last year’s hit mobile game “Pokemon Go” is an example of AR. What if this had been my first time putting on a Gear VR headset? What if this was the sum of all my experience with VR? Would I want to try it again? Or would that be enough to convince me, on the spot, that VR is simply not for me?ĭespite a wave of hype that rose last year and expectations that it will grow into a major entertainment medium (with a market value of $162 billion by 2020, predicts IDC), I have a few concerns.įor one thing, that figure lumps together VR, the experience with the goggles, with augmented reality (AR), a much-more accessible kind of experience that can be as simple as a game that overlays animated characters over your cell phone’s built-in camera.

Most VR experiences try to keep your head from swinging around any more than necessary in order to prevent a bad physical reaction. Its controls also require you to turn your head to aim weapons and tilt your head sideways to move the attack helicopter sideways. I didn’t get far enough into the game to learn whether weaponized breasts are a major plot point in “Gunship Battle2 VR.” Later, when you’re being briefed on your missions, it’s done by an attractive female soldier who bends over a table, exposing virtual cleavage, as if that were a necessary component of military intelligence. The villain who did the deed barks orders with an accent that sounds Mexican by way of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. It opens on a scene of a soldier waking up as a hostage as his murdered wife and son lie on the floor nearby. I knew this feeling from playing early first-person shooters and reading in the backseat of my parents car while it was in motion: I was about to get violently motion-sick and I needed to stop immediately.Īpart from making me suddenly ill and regretful, “Gunship Battle2 VR” has some other problems. My stomach suddenly tightened and my body was covered in sweat.

I was soon blasting away at guard towers and tilting my head to avoid missile blasts.

While the headset allows you to view and hear the helicopter combat game, the Gear VR doesn’t have an easy way to control things with your hands, so a separate game controller is needed.Ī few days later, controller in hands, code redeemed and headset on my head, I excitedly started the game.

So I accepted the “Gunship Battle2 VR” code and then went on Amazon to purchase a Bluetooth joystick, a requirement for playing the game.

It had been months since I’d really played around with the device.

In the first month or two I owned it, I browsed short 360-degree films and played around with some clever tech demos, but I didn’t really dive deep into any games that weren’t free at the time. Last year, I had purchased a Gear VR, a headset that costs about $50-$99 and works with Samsung phones, but it’s mostly remained in the box, out of use.

A few weeks ago, I got an email offering me a download code to review a virtual reality game called “Gunship Battle2 VR” for a the Samsung Gear VR.
