Retro’esque gaming, as a whole, is something that seems to only be getting more popular over time. I don’t see why other genres of it would be any exception. I used to love the oldschool doom/heretic/hexen/wolfenstein style games when I was a kid and still do.
As for the VR stuff, yeah, it’s definitely a fad that will probably… cough… hopefully die out soon. I think Epic wastes way too much time working on it and don’t realize that it’s a fairly niche thing on the consumer end. Will I ever own a VR headset? Absolutely not… I have vertigo issues and anything VR is a vomit comet for me. Unless they can find a way to accurately stimulate the vestibular systems of my inner ear, it’s always going to be a no from me.
