I figured it would be Nintendo who would be the ones to release a fully VR console eventually and finally flip that switch but seems like they’re bearish on it too

I think the fact that SOME people get nauseous is a big issue for the whole genre.

That’s a phenomenal point, honestly.

The absurd thing is that it even depends on the game. I’ve initially tried without any problems the crappy phone vr with… the iPhone 5s, I think? Then the first PS VR on a base PS4, and titles known to upset people like EVE Valkyrie and Drive Club had no effect on me. “Comfort settings” typically meant just blinding me without a reason. Then, 20 minutes of Arizona Sunshine… and I wasn’t able to stomach the thought of vr for almost a year.
