You know Dust 514 is compatible with VR right?

How?

It's impossible for all the major engines. It's not impossible, and actually totally doable if the engines architecture were different.

Think about it: voxels already can give you an unimaginable level of detail without faking anything (because, as you know, much of the shiny, wonderful, super realistic graphic is actually "faked" in traditional polygon-based engines thanks to normal maps, POM, depth etc) in real time. This technique paired with procedural generation can possibly (and probably will) give us great near photorealistic VR experiences without the computational costs of a traditional polygon based engine-

Need to be said, anyway, the whole thing is still experimental, there are a few guys on the internet that claims they already managed to reduce the memory needed for a single voxel to render to "less than 1 bit", which is great news if it is actually true.

The first real game that will use one of these kind of mixed voxels + massive procedural generation will be No Man's Sky. But voxels can be much more high-res than that ;)

The problem isn't photorealism, the problem is movement.

Moving without you actually doing so physically cause a disconnect in your inner ear that causes motion sickness.
Until we figure out ways around that, or stimulate the inner ear in some next gen designs, we can't make traditional FPS, only shooting gallery type FPS.

There is a youtube video, and also a thread on it, made several weeks ago showing someone using a VR headset to play Dust 514.

That doesn't mean it's a good experience.

But it does mean that it is possible.

Not at all.

VR is still impossible in First-Person Shooters.

I feel like I keep repeating myself in each of these new threads, but there's no solution for the fact that the VR headset is telling your brain you're moving while your inner-ear and all your other senses are telling it you're stationary.

Yep totally impossible.

Thats why people are already playing FPSs in VR using a phone and a PS3 controller.

Just because people like me and you get motion sick easier than others does not mean that CCP will not gladly try it.
