We are pretty much witnessing "Virtual Reality" becoming "Reality". — HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) October 13, 2016

Personally, I’m just a bit sad about the fact that we won’t ever see Metal Gear Solid‘s VR missions in actual VR created by Hideo Kojima itself. If there’s something that would sell me on VR, that would be it.
