  • 2025 Production: Innovation v Viewer Expectations

doublevr As we are discussing with SLR directors future steps of bringing something new we get stuck with basic principles of how things work in VR. Getting all the cool intros and themes is easy, it's hardcore parts making things difficult.

Personally i think you guys do the hardcore stuff really well already. For me it's the intros, themes, sets, and story scripts that you guys could improve on the most. Put more effort into cool storylines and you can create some really magical scenes. A lot of studios are falling into the formulaic scenes now where the only thing that truly changes from one scene to the next is the girl.

Add more cosplay, especially sci fi, and have storylines that the actress can kind of call back to when she's whispering in my ear. The cosplay/scifi scenes you guys used to do were really really good

Use sets with different lighting. Lately it seems like most scenes are shot in the living room at noon. A GFE scene at night next to a fireplace would be awesome IMO.

Here's some scenes you have done in the past with different lighting that i really liked:

Anyways, you guys are already doing great work, but it's cool that you're still looking to improve.

    alkory People tend to be subjective, whereas the number of likes provides a more accurate measure.

        Adrianvr or maybe just overlooked because there is only 1 scene like that (maybe the Lilly Bella too) and it's using an european model which many people will indeed overlook. Most people here will prefer an american actress like Blake Blossom than Katy Rose, even though the Blake Blossom scene is shot in the toilets with an amateur camera, thus more likes 🙂

            alkory Agree. I'm going to assume that a lot of the people watching VR porn only have a limited amount of time. They don't know all the studios.
            I think a lot of people see a screenshot art picture on the homepage of a scene and decide that way. The (whatever its called) picture that the studio puts for their scene makes a huge difference.
            That is why SLR changes the picture so they can see which one gets more clicks. It will look one way for a week and then they will change it.
            IMO VrSpy has a better picture art than VRPlayful. Plus for me english is important. That's 2 strikes against VRPlayful but still way better.

              Adrianvr I'm sure likes are a somewhat indicator but...
              I once saw a scene pop up onto SLR in the first couple minutes. It had more "hearts" than actual views. People heart a scene before they ever watch them so that it gets put into their favorites. It's the only way you can do it from the home screen with one button push.
              People see a really pretty girl in a good looking picture and heart it. This doesn't mean the scene is good. I have tons of hearted terrible scenes.
              The better number is hearts to views %

                ...i think all metrics need to be read and considered, likes, views, hearts, subscriptions rates, download rates, comments, opinions, etc. And still it's a guessing game.

                The more you experiment, the more you will learn...

                I think a big issue that can make the videos feel repetitive is how the models speak and behave. It really doesn't matter what the scenario is, or the character the girl is playing, in most scenes from most studios the girls just behave like they are in a porno and speak with the most stereotypical porno talk imaginable. Every other word is fuck, and its a lot of the same exact phrases in every scene. "Your fucking cock is stretching my pussy out", etc. That type of language works for scenes where its appropriate, but when its a sweet girl-next-door scene, GFE scene, etc, it really just feels repetitive and out of place.

                  So, you prove me correct. As what you want was contested.
                  As for the polls...Go ahead make one.

                    BML2000 Agreed 100%! Good intimate talk is clutch! I'd also like to add that there is little connection when the only talk is the girl describing exactly what they are doing to you. For example: "Your cock sliding in and out of my pussy...", "Yea, stroking you cock...", etc. It is a lower level of intimacy when the girl says nothing during the sex, no matter how hot they are. I also find it repetitive when they end everything they say with the question "Yea?". Yes. Yes, i like your stroking my cock, or riding my cock, or sliding it in and out of your tight pussy. Khloe Kapri had a phenomenal scene on VRB (My Brother's Cheating Girlfriend). When she is riding you cowgirl, it so immersive how she whispers and kissed back and forth between both of your ears. There is a part where as she is riding you and you hear is her pussy sloshing on your cock. She leans in and whispers in your ear if you can hear it, then tells you "its all for you." The whole cowgirl scene (IMHO) is just beyond words. A bonus in the scene is where you are in reverse cowgirl and she slowly goes the full length of your cock in and out of her pussy several times without pulling out. When she finally pulls her pussy off of you, there is a suction queef. I don't know why I find that so hot. Weird!

                      I personally think SLR Originals had its best scenes when it first started, mainly due to the variety of scenarios, intimate lighting, positions/camera angles used & there was a certain 'intensity' - it felt more decadent/alluring overall

                        Just sort the scenes by new and go to page 13-15, "Golden Era" with frequent FF+Ms. Now there's the occasional (I would even say rare) excellent scene, but unfortunately there's no comparison to back then.

                            doublevr listening to user feedback

                            I have one request, pov is in a good space right now, camera position is less of a problem, wouldn't change anything, but what I'd like to see added to the pov category, I'd like to see headcam pov, similar to koalavr, he does great work BTW! But his style of headcam works great, I watch this content and can only imagine what our favorite pornstar hotties would be like with the headcam pov content, will be fun.

                            But yeah, pov is great right now, all studios are killing it right now with the POV...

                            now let's focus on non pov, and try headcam pov like koalavr and film vlog style/tiktok content! Will be great! 🎉🥂

                            Can't forget PT! PTGANG! 🤜🤛🥂

                            Lol that pt is something else! 🥴👍

                              doublevr greatly boost out VR production.

                              Content is king! 🥂

                                  @doublevr I see the dilemma which you are facing. It is a competitive market and growth is probably becoming difficult. The majority of customers tends to immerse themselves in more realistic scenarios, and that’s a bedroom GFE Setting with some casual poses in POV. Something which is already filmed thousands of times. And this isn’t something where you can really experiment or change much. The dilemma is that every experiment and change in that pattern will make some users very happy, but the majority will not prefer it, so the return of investment will not be that great, unless you really find the next big thing which everyone wants but nobody knows it yet. I honestly wish you good luck in finding that thing. Don’t stop in being innovative, but a hybrid strategy in perfecting things which are known that they work and testing innovations and doing experiments is the way to go.

                                    flo if you just try to please your existing customers, you don’t get growth. You need to do different types of scenes to attract new customers. It’s fine to continue to produce the GFE stuff so as not to alienate your subscribers but that shouldn’t be all you produce. People who watch flat porn are used to seeing more variety and you’ll never entice them over here with just purely girlfriend simulations. Making sweet love to your girlfriend has never been what porn is about.

                                      Basically making the biggest hack rookie mistake I'm going to experiment for the sake of experimenting. Rather than saying, I want to accomplish 'X' and have ideas on how, and will experiment to that end. And by the wording that's not what's happening. Would there maybe be a 'variety' of casting by giving normal 'flat' crews vr cams to film non pov, it's already tried, and neither has an interesting discussion on how it can grow or much of a growing audience in vr. Other than that nothing is even alluded to, regarding why you want to change what does work to improve scenes. Maybe post when having defined goals with even an attempt at a path to it?

                                        Limiting yourself to making only POV videos reminds me of the google cardboard days, where VR was only seen as a "simulator"...
                                        Well tbh it's not out of brand since the site name is SexLikeReal, as it was created back at VR inception, but I hope that we'll just keep the name and not the idea going forward because that view is so limiting.

                                        There are up and coming studios like "HotwifeVR" and "NEWPORNSTARLETS" who are bravely taking the lead in producing NonPov videos.
                                        Despite the initial and usual flamewar, they said in the replies to the comments that they find it hotter.
                                        It's actually not the first time that I see studios themselves preferring to record NonPov.
                                        They are getting a good and consistent amount of views/likes, proof that there is an audience that appreciates it.

                                        Filming in NonPov not only allows for more interesting angles and perspective but also allows the actors to fully perform, with passion and intensity, without having a camera separating them.

                                        helaA610 The audience doesen't really know what the audience wants.
                                        It is the job of the artists to deliver something new and fresh, and by making changes they attract newcomers too.
                                        I've witnessed it many times,
                                        and I'm confident that SLR is in a similar stagnant situation right now, by only producing VR POV videos they think they are catering to the wider audience, whereas VR POV is actually niche in the bigger porn scene.

                                        Not everyone is interested in "simulating" that they are having sex, porn is voyeurism by definition, most people just want to watch a good performance, this is what pornstars are for, this is why male pornstars are popular/viral like Rocco Siffredi, Johny Sinns, because of their performances, and with POV there is none of that, it's just a girl with her mouth open staring at the camera, and unless you are in the same position of the guy , it's not very immersive.
