This is kind of ironic given that those VR machines never actually got far...but did we abandon this type of gaming for any good reason?

I'd say there's a strong argument for bringing them back with new and improved features - looking back the graphics on those old ones now seem awful...is there not a case for them to return?

Surely!

Yes. It. Should.

Can you imagine a VR version of Playboy: The Mansion though? No doubt it will be created in the future.

Bahhahahahahah! Fair point if your meatloafs are stuck in a chair, but i think it would be a good option to be able to go into a game, Red Dwarf Stylee, God that series rocked. In case and Dwarfer fans didnt know there is 2 RED DWARF FILMS IN THE MAKING!!!!! and a game......hmmmmm, stick to the films :|

Oh come on - what percentage of gamers (who are not totally ratarsed) want to actually run or wave their hands about? I can do that in real life, thanks very much.
Just give me a nice chair and a decent controller.

VR defiantly shouldn't be disposed of. Many people consider virtual reality to be the way forward, heck, we've covered 2D, 3D and possibly 4D. Other than VR, what is there?

Well I never heard of people dying in them...


If it happened, surely steps can be taken to prevent it happening again. PLUS, what with today's gym-crazed generation...what better than to do a bit of running in time with playing.

Tell me if I've been drinking too much Coke here but I think there's a market for it ;)
