How awesome would it be to walk around in this game in VR !

I suppose the Miqote Paradise was more meant as a joke ;P

I do agree with some of the real points made in that article though - specially as someone who tends to get motion sick quite easly and wouldnt be able to use the feature at all due to that (I cant use any VR-stuff - 3D movies are a complete waste on me aswell).

So this gets a "No, thanks" from me for personal health reasons
But also a "No, thanks" considering that I cant really see a general benefit to this. Maybe I have the wrong impression of VR, considering I cant use it, but I dont really expect the current dungeons/combat system to work with it, so we'd probably end up with pouring ressources into re-making open world areas as some sort of walking simulator that most people will stumble through once and then return to normal settings (or ignore it in the first place). Seems like a waste to me...

I honestly have a very hard time watching 3D movies as well. It gives me a strong headache and everything looks blurry-ish, like ghosting. I have never used a VR device before but I wonder if it will create a similar effect based on what you're sharing.

VR can be a lot worse, actually. Some people cant even do it, yu can get pretty severe and violent motion sickness if you can't adapt to it. A lot of games really do shortcuts to minimize that, to the point where don't even move normally, you teleport between locations. And more worrisome is that you can get some form of depersonalization/dissasociation after, a VR hangover is the term.

Oh yes. Especially if you aren't used to VR. When I first tried it and finished the VR demo, I was unable to stand for about 5 minutes after (I legit tried to and promptly decked it onto concrete floor). Now that I have a VR headset and have used it a good few times, I've grown resilient to it. But yes, disassociation, depersonalisation, loss of balance and co-ordination, etc. All very much real issues with VR. Be careful when you attempt it.

I've tried VR at a gamescon few years back. Both 90 & 120 FPS and I just get headache, start to see bad, etc.
It's similar when I watch a 3D movie on my 3D TV but less after an hour or so my eyes start to tear and the headache comes.

Playing games on a normal monitor I have no issues, I do however need 60FPS though. On G-sync & Free-sync I can do with less but not too low. Frame stability is another huge drop for me, if frames are jumping around I get headache as well.
