Let's just say the inversely proportional relationship between birth rates and fap rates is likely to be exponential.

Yep there are ways to "cheat" the graphics. Just look at Nintendo, they make beautiful games that are highly stylized on far weaker consoles.

By seated I meant in game (sitting in a mech). I've owned the DK1 and DK2 both since launch and have played many FPS games (both made for VR and not using VorpX). I'm not sure if you are speaking from experience as well or regurgitating things you read - but either way I'll just have to agree to disagree with you.
EDIT: Doom3, Half Life 2, Dishonored, Time Rifters, Valiant, ARK Survival Evolved, GTA, Alien Isolation, and Quake 2 were all great experiences for me. Mirror's Edge was not because it constantly look control away from you and Dying Light also was uncomfortable because it would take control away from you for climbing animations. I play a lot of VR so I do have good VR legs at this point.
Haha are people serious about this? Like, do people get genuinely sexually aroused by video games? Not judging, just curious.
I know what you meant by seated. Like I said, you don't *see* that you're seated, though. That's the important part.
As for what I'm speaking from, it's both. It's not 'regurgitating' what others have said in a situation like this. You cant just ignore honest testimony from others. VR is tricky and what works for you may not work for somebody else, so you cant just assume that your own experience is the standard metric.
If they didn't before, they will now.

Well that is a good point because you become "better" at handling VR. Most people refer to it as their "VR legs". People who picked up the DK1/DK2 and tried it once may or may not have had a comfortable experience. After playing a lot most people become acclimated to it.
people get aroused by hentai , romance novels, and comics. OF COURSE ! they will get aroused by video games as well.
You can increase your tolerance levels, but I don't think *most* people become completely immune to it. There are a lot of people who have spent a good amount of time in VR that will still experience discomfort/nausea in many games, with FPS's being one of the more prevalent antagonists.
I wouldn't be so sure. It's a bit hard to determine from the trailer. It showcases you have glass in front of you as the hud overlays it from time to time. If one followed the cannons to their origin one would probably see the rest of the construct.
Oh man, this needs to happen.
"It's not you darling, it's not me either - it's Haniko-chan."
Its test about character interactions between the player and AI character. People who have tried it have reported that seeing responsive NPCs in VR can be a very impactfull experience, them looking them into your eyes, reacting to you, casually or intentionally entering your "personal space". Things like that are enabling VR experiences to cause much different reactions in players than any demo shown on HDTV/Monitor can ever do.

Some cool impressions from Road To VR that should help put everyone's mind at ease about Morpheus. Particularly good to hear about a lack of aliasing and the comfort of Morpheus and ability to accommodate glasses wearers better than the other headsets.

I'm pretty hyped for Morpheus I must say. Knowing that the only VR solution I can afford is definitely going to be bringing some fantastic experiences of it's own to the table.

yup, i would like an Unbalance X2 kind of lesson myself. i hope there is a lot to choose from
this makes a lot of sense, i wonder if they are going to partner up with retailers and put lots of units for people to play-test. they should put units in shopping malls too.
Here's the recorded live interview with Guerrilla Cambridge and Rigs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Huy4dGeKZN0

Hands on with Battlezone on Morpheus: http://www.roadtovr.com/hands-on-vr-battle-zone-nails-hover-tank-combat-on-sony-morpheus/
They are really loving it.
"Visuals were again smooth and judder free with a pleasing lack of aliasing in the visuals. Today was my first time with Sony’s newer revision of headset, now with an OLED panel leveraging Sony’s version of low persistence, and it looked great."
...
"It’s another title in Sony’s crown then, one to add to the launch list that’s becoming ever longer as the company approaches hardware release in Q2 2016. This and Guerilla Games Cambridge’s ‘Rigs’ I think confounds those who believed the Playstation would be unable to deliver consistently compelling VR content – myself included. I’m very happy to be so very wrong."

From what we could tell, though, the sense of presence was very good and Project Morpheus' 1080p resolution lower than the Gear VR and (most likely) the consumer Oculus Rift didn't provide the pronounced screen door effect (visible pixels) we were expecting. If we didn't already know Morpheus' resolution, we would have guessed it was a Quad HD panel, like in the Gear VR. We aren't sure why that is, but perhaps Sony has tweaked something else to cut down on the perception of the screen door effect
Morpheus is the only currently-announced VR headset that directly supports a game console (the PS4). If its quality, polish and content library are in the same ballpark as the Rift (so far the first two appear to be pretty close), then that could be a big advantage for Sony's headset.

VRFocus got their hands on Rigs: http://vrfocus.com/archives/17266/preview-rigs-mechanised-combat-league/
They confirm that your virtual character is sitting inside the cockpit with hands visible on joysticks etc.
"There’s a real lightbulb moment when you first start up RIGS: Mechanised Combat League, Guerrilla Cambridge’s answer to the much sought after virtual reality (VR) first-person shooter (FPS). The simple act of walking is a dilemma for VR experiences but, technically speaking, here the player is able to move and yet remain stationary at the same time. It’s the large mech-like Rig that they command in intense online battles that does the trekking, while players remain nestled safely inside, free from any immersion-breaking barriers. It’s a simple but effective idea that’s bound to make other VR developers wonder why they didn’t think of it first, and it lays the foundation for one of the most promising titles for Project Morpheus yet..."
...
"...It’s at this point that you can look down to see two control pads sitting in your virtual hands that aren’t too far off from the two handles of a DualShock 4, further increasing the bond between the real and virtual worlds. You can also use positional tracking to carefully inspect the intimidating cannons that are strapped to either side of the vehicle. It creates a very genuine and dwarfing sense of being housed inside a colossal piece of weaponry.
...
...RIGS: Mechanised Combat League remains a reassuringly comfortable experience throughout, and smartly provides a short half-time break just a few minutes into each match. This gives players a moments rest from the admittedly draining process of concentrating on a multiplayer VR FPS...
...
...Two matches of RIGS: Mechanised Combat League are enough to leave you wanting more. It feels oddly reminiscent of the situation Guerrilla Cambridge found itself in with 2013’s Killzone: Mercenary in that it doesn’t just settle for bringing the FPS to a new platform, but instead strives to deliver an exciting experience in its own right. There’s still plenty more to learn about the title in the weeks and months ahead, but it’s a strong first impression."
Looks like they have a real winner on their hands.
Edit: Just noticed but I'm loving the runnerblades the robots come equipped with:

Having to have a decent pc to stream your xbox one to to play in a strange view doesnt seem a selling point and i cant see how it in anyway diverts any anntention from sonys efforts when your really never going to see a game made for xbox in vr when the console itself doenst support any vr unit native.

xD, excuse my freudian typo.
Well, as you have seen in the KindaFunny stream people don't know what "VR" on Xbox really is.
They pretty much said that because of that partnership with Oculus, Microsoft is just as prepared for VR as Sony is.

I tried it yesterday at E3. I still see it as more as an experience giver than a full fledged gaming device. It looked great, but I can see getting eye strain and fatigued from quick neck movements over long periods of time. Rigs looked great though and the tech is there.

That's my feeling as well. Hololens made for a cool demo but the experience provided by VR doesn't translate well to the stage or even gameplay videos.
Interesting that the screen door effect is similar to Gear VR. I really didn't like the screen door effect in the Rift DK2, and it was kind of pushing me to GVR over Morpheus. But if that's out of the equation, Morpheus is getting more interesting again. I wonder if it translates over different games.
Ok, that sounds promising!
I like it, too. Sounds futuristic, but not too corny.
It's not a selling point as it really is, but people are imagining this as a full VR solution, like GigaWatts mentioned. It's not a selling point, it's not even a point as far as VR capabilities but that's not how this was perceived and MS probably intended it this way, people now think they are seriously in for VR.
Like who? This sounds like paranoia to me.
