All I hear about VR on GB is Beatsaber, Superhot, Rez...but there are alot of games that have been released since that are, in my opinion, far superior in terms of the gameplay VR can offer. The Under Presents, Shadow Point, The Room...all stunning in alot of ways, and criminally unsung.
I hope Abby widens out a bit more than Jeff in her game choices. More and more, I wonder if GB isn't getting a bit stuck in their ways, somewhat unwilling to adopt the new medium. Very sad to hear she's leaving, especially with her burgeoning interest in VR.
Edit: After much discussion, three core arguments against: 1. Not enough good VR games to warrant discussion. 2. VR does not offer anything that "flat screen" games don't. 3. GOTY is BS anyway. While I could agree with the 3rd statement, not so with the first 2. As a defense for the second criticism, I submit: https://youtu.be/nf8Aw8s4Rw8 . Concerning the first...well, I disagree, but a thorough defense would require far more video than I'm willing/able to produce.
Edit 11/3/2020: Well, based on today's Bombcast, the answer is probably never. With Sony pulling out of the VR space hard and fast, the crew, formerly wobbly on VR at best, now seems even more disinterested. On one hand, I'm disappointed my preferred game news outlet won't be covering my favorite games, on the other it's nice that this provides space for another outlet a chance to distinguish themselves. UploadVR will be my go-to, hopefully they start churning out some entertaining VR content.
