In the early days there were still quite some VR studios that made grand productions with the hottest A level stars in a proper setting, surroundings, costumes, etc. Those were the VR dreams. Focus has shifted more towards quantity instead of quality. Really think these grand productions will be the way to differentiate. Those studios tried to upscale them but unfortunately they are still bad quality 
Really hope to see scenes such as the one below again in the future.
Legendary scene. I agree with everything you said
slr would rather make ar porn
Fidelio is gonna be hard to top honestly. That was the first time I was truly mind-blown and in my head I was like
"NOW THIS... IS VR"
damian I agree but I really feel the focus shifted more to quantity and passthrough. It would we great if the SLR quantity goes down (they are pushing out a lot) as other VR studios also have a big quantity and we now have about 15+ new video's a day.
I rather have 5 new videos a day and some of them are of insane quality with multiple A level stars, good storyline, set, etc.
Fidelio part 3 was awesome too featuring
BRIDGETTE B., DOLLY LEIGH, ROMI RAIN, WHITNEY WRIGHT, EMMA STARLETTO, KAYLA PARIS, NAOMI BLUE, BAMBINO
Yall ever seen Bambinos vr work? I think he normally just filmed for NA I suggested booking him before cuz dude pops off like a super soaker. But no other vr studio ever booked him.
But yeah them Fidelio series were pretty hot 
Top of the line pornstars at that time 
Vrsumo2017 Those were the days 
It would be great if SLR could do a series like Fidelio. Ideally they would team up with Julia Grandi (Vixen) and have access to stars like Sonya Blaze, Kelly Collins, Naomi Swann, etc.
However, if that is not the case. How would we envision part 1-4 to look like????
Let me start with a suggestion for some A-level stars Chanel Camryn, Madison Wilde, Alex Coal, Dani Daniels, Gianna Dior, Amber Moore, Jia Lissa, Scarlett Sage, Hazel Moore, Lacy Lennon, Naomi Swann, ....
Passthrough scenes are so much easier to make. You don't need a proper setting, you usually need only one female talent, you can shoot everything from the very same position, you don't need any clothes and props, you don't need any elaborate script or story.
It's the next level of warehouse porn. Easy to make in big quantities, so perfect for the studios...
Don't expect anything like Fidelio anytime soon. I don't think any studio invests like that into VR again in the near future. It's apparently easier to make more money with a much simpler and cheaper approach.
LordCrash such a shame though and does it really make more money? SLR could invest in more quality scenes instead of quantity right? Most of us pay a fixed price anyway. You see it all across the board, only those 1-on-1 simple scenes in a cheap setting.
Naughty America is the only exception ATM. Really think SLR or other will loose marketshare to the VR companies that are still willing to make high quality 'grand' VR scenes. Luckily the quality of Naughty America VR is improving each day 
I hope SLRO won't be like Wankz/MILFVR. Yes they produce good quality scenes with great casting, but compared to 2017/2018 when they routinely pumped out masterpiece after masterpiece with decent storylines (e.g. Bargain Banging, Stepmom's Little Helper, Easter/XMas 3+somes), now they are a bit more vanilla, mostly not passing 50 mins in length.
I'm subbed to SLRO because they still make such masterpieces from time to time and I hope these will stay despite requiring more effort and money to produce.
Rustam1990 100% with you on this one. I, however, see this happening slowly to SLR as well. More focus on 1-on-1 pass-through bulk scenes instead of some epic masterpieces.
Really hope SLR won't go in that direction. Really like the raw taboo and spa series. Just hope we will ever see something as Fidelio in high quality 8k+....
hhigh88 Really hope SLR won't go in that direction.
Too late. They went full Walmart some time ago. They chose to satisfy the mouth-breathers instead of the power users. No big surprise there - they've always been chiefly about profit and market dominance. Driven by ego, not creativity. or excellence. Their reactions to criticisms are the tell.
Don't worry, though. If this thread goes on long enough, one of them will drop in to post a point-by-point refutation of how wrong we are, and show us that we are really getting everything we want! /s
Such a shame everything is going into that direction. I would even pay a premium for those kind of scenes. There are still a lot of people that value quality.
To be honest, out of every 20 new scenes I probably skip about 19 and only watch 1 nowadays
We live in the cursed age of subscriptions, which is like a Ponzi scheme: it only works if you release more and more content, and more and more people sign up. And for people to pay every month, you have to release a lot of titles every week.
Now only quantity matters, not quality. The good old days of SLR 2 or 3 years ago will never come back. Now boring mediocrity in large quantities prevails.
My annual subscription ends at the beginning of August. I have no intention of renewing. I will subscribe to one or two studios that interest me individually, even if I have to pay more. At least it will be money going to studios that do things I like.
Rustam1990 I hope SLRO won't be like Wankz/MILFVR.

You are right on regarding Wankz!! They used to be the best, especially with the 3+somes which I enjoy the most. Some of those Halloween scenes are masterpieces, They started adding new directors and quality went down, then they got rid of Jimmy about a year ago and all the multi-girl scenes went down the drain. All the creativity was lost.
Rustam1990 I'm subbed to SLRO because they still make such masterpieces from time to time and I hope these will stay despite requiring more effort and money to produce.
I am all about quality productions so I hope so too. Unfortunately, perhaps the most creative and talented SLRO director @vrfanservice is leaving SLR. So it suggests that perhaps it is all about money, since some of the VFS vids are the top rated scenes on the site. Look at 'Busted' for instance. If I was @doublevr I would be fighting to keep him on board. I am sad to see him go. At least we still have Alex Nash.

I fear that this maybe true. Well said.
Yes, I remember seeing an old WankzVR scene that was kind of a Walking Dead Parody or something like that with Adriana Chechik, Megan Rain and another girl, Arya Fae I think. The picture quality didn’t quite hold up to modern VR but it looked like a ton of effort went into the scene like a proper porn production moving to different locations with a proper sets, a script, top tier talent and storyline. It felt like I was actually in one of those 90’s porn features. I loved it.
Don’t see anything like that these days.
