I also believe Frontier dropping VR now is a short-sighted move that makes them look totally incompetent.I do believe that dropping VR now is a short-sighted move (and it is dropped; how many things have Frontier said "not at launch" to that have then actually been delivered?)
And there are a number of independent studios out there that are just developing VR games. When I hear about them, I always try to buy something of theirs.
I once thought that Frontier was a forward thinking company wanting to bring innovation to the gaming community but now know that the only reason they included VR to Elite Dangerous is because it was proven to be very fast and easy to do. Most of the heavy lifting was already done by others outside of Frontier.
Here's what I think will happen in regards to VR in the near future
1) Microsoft will announce the new Xbox Series X will Support VR and a Microsoft headset is coming
2) Sony will announce a new PSVR headset designed after the PC types to used on the New PS5
3) Microsoft will announce VR support for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 PC and Xbox Series X
we already know that the new generation of gaming consoles will have the power to support a PC type VR headset and with Microsoft and Sony are kind of at a console Hardware war, its a no brainer on their bringing in VR support.
Microsoft has said Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is coming to the Xbox Series X
it's been reported that Valve and HP are working together with Microsoft on a new VR headset.
Microsoft has said adding VR to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is a high priory.
if these predictions happen to VR and I think they will in 2021 it will be huge for the popularity of VR.
Bringing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 with VR to the Xbox Series X will make the Xbox take the number 1 position in the Console wars.
