HTC Vive. Not necessarily this specific tech itself, but VR gaming more broadly. My friend and I were ginning ourselves up for years before it came out. I dropped a lot of money on a gaming rig for it. And when I put the googles on… I fucking hated it. I didn’t like standing and gaming. I didn’t like being so isolated from everyone else in the house. And the games were glorified tech demos slapped together with unity assets. By the time Half Life Alex came out, I had no more fucks to give.
VR is too expensive and too rich white boy centric. Let me tell you something; if your business is gaming and the teenager children in China and India can’t afford it, your market will NEVER be able to compete with mobile gaming and PC (M&K) gaming
Yeah you can. Although it’s hard on the computer, and depending on the type of plane, it might not be really playable in terms of controls (an airliner for instance)
Games like Elite Dangerous or Star Wars Squadron are really fun in VR though
I played a lot of Elite Dangerous until I realized there was not much to do besides “do the profitable thing over and over before it gets nerfed.” And by the time Squadrons came out, I also ran out of fucks to give.

The porn was fun though.
I liked it. Unfortunately aside from valve, no serious studio has put any resources into making a good vr game.
Sitting games could be big on vr. Flight/space sims could be awesome.

Can’t you already fly with VR in MS flight sim?
Also I believe Asseto has VR support.

The only game I really liked in VR was Euro Truck Simulator 2 which wasn’t even a VR game.
