My parents aren’t big on this little thing called video games. They’ve never quite understood my fascination with it, which is part of the reason I’ve always been more of a solo player.
That changed last Christmas. Intrigued by new technology, they asked for me to bring home my VR kit. My sister slipped on the headset and was immediately sucked into Beat Saber. That spurred my mum to have a go. Then my dad (never the gamer) wanted to check out some videos on the headset, avoiding motion sickness. Even my grandma was amazed when I put on a nature video for her.
It reminded me of the Wii, when the use of a remote was deemed accessible enough for people of all ages to give it a go. VR is yet to have its watershed moment in the mainstream – even if Beat Saber is already a killer app – but it feels like we’re on the cusp of it. What it needs is a silly, intuitive, fun game to hook people in. It needs What The Bat.
