Games, before "video" games consisted of board games, cards games, and things of that nature. Video games initially were just simple games like their counterparts, but as time went on video games introduced stories, worlds, and AI. Nowadays I'd say people are much more fixated on the narrative and immersiveness of their experiences playing video games, if a video game just focuses on gameplay and nothing else it's considered casual for the most part. Wouldn't it make sense for virtual reality to be that next stepping stone? How many of you guys have tried the Occulus Rift or another VR headset and are actually excited for this technology to emerge? I feel like there's a lot of friction in the gaming world, but I feel like it just logically makes sense for virtual reality to take over the scene of a lot of the modern gameplay experiences we have on a screen.
Personally I'm stoked because it touches on the aspects of video games that I enjoy. I enjoy the actual game aspect to games, but I've always played them for escapism and immersiveness.
