A VR mech game could be so baller. Also a remake of Black and White would work well. But generally yeah it's just not a great medium for most games and while we have a lot of promising hardware we're struggling to find ways to use it intuitively
I think after the bubble breaks it does down a bit well see some groups take their time to build really functional stuff. We don't have good standards on how to interact in VR and it shows. We don't have enough data on how to make people less motion sick. Basically the hardware is there but the software isn't and that'll take more time than we've been giving it, imo
Realistically though I think the fundamental limits on how you can interact in VR means while there may be a strong niche market, I don't expect it to be a mainstream thing. Even if the prices drop a lot and the headsets get smaller there's still a lot working against them

UNDERDOGS is amazing. And I'm not saying that just because I'm in the credits as one of the testers =D
A remake of Black and White would just be amazing, period
The whole hand thing already felt like a gimmick in the regular version of Black & White. How would a god game benefit in any way from VR?
Armored Core could have been a baller VR game
