Uhhh, shooters are one of the areas VR is weakest. As it currently stands, it disconnects the visual and physical sensations of moving too much. New technology might change that, but as far as we know, right now, the most successful apps won't be shooters.

I don't know what to say. You clearly have a bug up your ass about it. I doubt I'm going to convince you. I've been there, I've seen it, I work in and on it. I'm saying it's more than just a graphics gimmick. At the very least, it's a completely different way of thinking about applications. If you've experienced VR for yourself and and still don't see that, I don't know what to tell you.

The immediate non-game application that I thought of when I experienced DK1 is the 'perfect seat' movie theater VR experience. Spin up the 'VR Theater' and you walk in to the best seat with the optimal viewing experience every single time you watch a movie.
