The do have VR glasses and sensors available but they are like $2,000+ and I'm not sure what they are compatible with. I still like the idea since Wii technology (sensors) and GFX technology is so much more advanced then it was during the making of the movie 'Lawnmower Man'.

I guess since we haven't hear about VR in so long could be three things. People thought it was just a fad, they are having problems making it cost efficient, and/or people think it is too dangerous to expose to the eyes or mind.

... but for me... I want to play 'Unreal Tournament 3' in VR. I think that would rock so hard core...

I've been waiting for virtual reality (mainly in gaming) since the early 90's. I just KNEW it would be a part of the N64's game line up - as an add-on or accessory. But the closest we got was Star Fox 64. Cool 3D vector graphics (for the time) but still on a flat screen.

But surely the gaming systems to follow the PSX and N64 would offer true virtual reality, right?

Nope. Still no VR.

But the gaming systems after the Xbox, PS2, and GC would surely offer virtual reality. I mean the processing power is getting better and cost shrinking, so they've GOT to offer us the chance to really feel like we're IN the game, right?

Bzzzzt! STILL no virtual reality!

Screw it. I don't plan on buying another gaming system until VR gaming is standard (or an option) on them. I'm tired of flat-screen game play. I mean, it's still fun and I still enjoy my flat-screen games, but I really, REALLY want to be IN the game.

So all the flat-screen games in the world with their realistic particle effects and real-time light shading don't do much for me. They're just a tad better looking than what I'm playing now. So what? I'm more than READY for the lext dimension in gaming - the REAL THIRD DIMENSION!

But I'm not holding my breath. The gaming industry isn't developing VR games because flat-screen games are still great sellers and no one wants to take the plunge and spend R&D on true VR. I think we can blame that idiotic attempt at VR gaming called the Virtual Boy for that. It's not VR itself that people were turned off by, it was the PISS-POOR implementation of it! Grrrr.

So, I'm ALL for VR gaming and VR entertainment. Hell, I'm ready for holo-decks or games/experiences that take palce completely in the mine, appearing to be real to the person experiencing it. Too bad that technology won't exist while I'm still young enough to enjoy it.

Let me check to see if I can find the article but I think the very first carnation of the Wii (Revolution) was designed to be a VR head set, but they had problems with the design and decided to make the Revolution in a more traditional sense (but with the power glove concept but this time with the wii mote).

One sec... let me see if I can find the article....

LOAD"NINTENDOVR",8,1

LOADING....
READY
RUN:

OUT OF MEMORY?


Oh... I just learned that it was a fake article. Sorry about that. But I did see a picture of it that looked really neat. It was like a small helmet with built in glasses and "Revolution" written on the side under the "Nintendo" logo.

It would have been cool, though.

Any decent VR system would be so expensive that only the very wealthy could afford them. Video games are directed at the general consumer, not the elite spenders.

They PS3 is, like, $600, but that didn't stop practically half the population from buying them did it?
