Would a VR Action Platformer make a good game???

Hi All,

My team is about to start development on a VR Action Platformer. We created a survey to see if people would be interested in the idea before we started active development. If you'd like to hear more about the project or just want to share your thoughts on a VR Action Platformer we'd really appreciate it if you could fill out the survey. We also didn't just want to put out the survey without giving back so included at the end of the survey is a link to a 4k wallpaper from a level mockup we did. Thank you for taking the time to help us out and we hope to share more with the community soon.

Also if you'd rather skip the survey please let us know what you think here.

Thanks!

VR is still in its infant stage so there is plenty of opportunity with this technology. As I recall, AR was the go-to but VR was limited to the short-coming of the Virtual Boy. 

Just like with SSD, the pricing for VR headsets will eventually go down as well and become more accessible to main-stream consumers.

Yep this is a very good point. With the release of the Oculus Go I really believe we're starting to see the beginnings of this trend (from $1000+ setups to around $200-$300 for basic setups). This is also why we're trying to create the game's mechanics in a way where two handed and single handed gameplay is possible (that way it'll port over to mobile VR nicely until more mobile headsets get 2 controllers).
