Exactly this. The only "flat" games I can now bear to play are the likes of civ. Playing something like fallout 4 on the TV now feels like I'm looking at the world through a squashed little tableau. It's dull.

It seems most who are calling it a gimmick either haven't tried it, or tried the dk2, or tried it at a trade show and haven't tried living with it.

I use it daily, for everything from a workout in holopoint to racing in project cars (all non vr driving games are now ruined for me, I of course picked up a wheel etc.), from minecraft to playing table tennis. I never thought I'd one day be in the minecraft world I started many years ago.

Playing greenwater at the moment and having to put it down frequently, as code has never made me jump and scream before.

Anyway. It's not a wiimote type gimmick. It's the future of human interfaces.

This, if you haven't tried the HTC Vive (or the Oculus with the Touch controllers, but mostly the Vive), then you haven't tried VR.

There is no doubt in my mind this is no gimmick, it's the next step.
