A lot of games are like that which is one of hte upsides of VR. DCS not so much but god damn VR flying titles (DCS, MSFS, even VTOL VR) are so impressive.

VR always reminds me (the next day) how old and decrepit I am getting. Pain.

I had 2 warm days in a row here and did around 4 -5 hours each day in VRChat. Normally I'm nauseated after 2 or 3 but I didn't get sick at all this time.
I am using the teleport style movement, but I think I figured out that shorter avatars help. I've been using mostly a 4ish foot tall hobbity sized avatar the past few days and no sickness! They added a tool where you can size any avatar however you want which is really cool.
I also found the perfect size for my top and side straps. I had my side straps too loose and it was putting all the weight on my forehead.

It would be right on brand for Sony, exit VR just as AR/VR hit their stride again in the next few years. Like they did with instant game collection, mobile gaming, IPTV and a number of other things... get there early (if not first) and then bounce and watch others be far more successful in the space they vacated.

I tried VR once, and kinda thought it was fun.
At the end of the day, there's simply no content for it that would make me want to buy a VR headset of any brand.
There's a few things here and there, but nothing that makes me say "I want this now", and as far as I am aware there's nothing in development that interest me.
For me right now, VR is an awesome tech is ahead of the content for it. It will be cool one day, just not now.

Subnautica VR is the greatest gaming experience I have ever had. The team didn't even design that game with VR in mind, but everything about it just works. There is absolutely a killer app for VR, it just hasn't been made yet. I hope it does get made, would be sad if VR dies (again) and doesn't come back for another 20 years.

I think VR is only really interesting if you do it roomscale so you can look around freely and use your hands. SkyrimVR works pretty well for it once modded to remove some of the console-itis (VRIK player avatar that lets you actually sheathe a sword at your hip instead of just pushing some button on the controller etc). There's definitely moments where you lose yourself in it but you run up against a tech barrier sooner or later like the cord getting tangled, fov/resolution not being that great, teleport/slide movement that won't ever feel natural.
There's a bunch of casual stand-in-place games that work pretty well within the limits the tech has, but those just won't hold my attention for more than 30 minutes.
My most played VR title is actually Google Earth where you can just explore the world and get the best out of 360 degree views around the world.

The problem is definitely content. Half Life: Alyx is really the only top tier VR game I played while I had a headset and nothing has seemed as good since then. However, if they kept focus on actual gaming with a cable (optional) for Sim Racing they'd probably do well. Sim Racing is taking off like crazy but no one wants a headset that only lasts a few hours and is a huge pain in the ass to get working.
I think they could keep things afloat if they focused here but I just don't see that happening. They're going to keep focusing on dumb shit and it'll likely burn out.

I think it would be great if it wasn’t the perfect formula for motion sickness, even with teleport controls I’m pretty sure I’d be done in a few minutes.
