Gizmodo published a review of the HTC Vive today and, when all was said and done, they felt that it was a "beautiful machine with no good games." Another drawback? Cables. Lots of cables.
Virtual reality has always been an expensive hobby. Even in 1995, when the only VR option was the Nintendo Virtual Boy, it was hard to justify spending money on the device. It was uncomfortable to wear. It didn’t have any good games. And it was a little ahead of its time. Fast forward to this week, and after spending hours playing with the HTC Vive, I can safely say that VR is still an overpriced novelty.
