Look awesome, very interested to see how it goes too, also what the restrictions are going to be like on it. As i can't see Microsoft or Sony letting them use this on an Xbox/Playstation. Looks like a massive step though! Also can't wait to see this at E3 this year, pretty sure it's going to be there? | ||

Do not know yet if games should support this or not, I guess they should since they say that the first game that is compatible with it is Doom3. I would love to be able to play dayZ standalone with it though. The devs have said multiple times that you won't need a top-of-the-line rig in order to use it as intended, but you will need something over the current average. I've seen it run on one of those Asus gaming laptops (dunno which version), for example. Concerning games support it'll be easy or hard to "port it" depending on how the game is built. As for games intended for this... there are more than a few projects started. One game I'd love to test this with is Amnesia. :3 | ||

This thing just might be enough to get me back into playing games - I haven't bought anything gaming related since SCII, and before that I hadn't bought anything in ~5 years. The hype is massive... I hope it holds up! | ||

Imagine if someone puts his hands on your shoulders while you're playing Amnesia with this thing. :D On January 17 2013 21:30 n0ise wrote: Can't seem to find the price, does anyone have an estimate? Also, will they bundle the acid or do I get it someplace else?? No price announced yet, but people who invested $300 on Kickstarter get the dev version. I'd guess the consumer version will cost from $200 to $300. I wouldn't mind paying that much, kinda like buying a new monitor to me. Good video about how MINDBLOWING it is.  | ||

At one point I read that someone wanted to jump down from somewhere but stopped when he reached the ledge because he got an instinctual fear that he was going to fall and hurt himself. Of course he still jumped and wasn't afraid to do it, but at the first moment when his brain registered what it saw, his instincts popped up and told him: "NO!". That is pretty impressive since it implies that the brain will have a much harder time keeping reality and gaming apart which is a good thing for immersion. This is a good demo that demonstrates it in another way - the guy testing it walks through a doorway and thinks that he'll bump his head. ^^ http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/7/3848914/oculus-rift-deep-inside-the-immersive-disorienting-virtual-reality#ooid=Bsd2xlODohuy_2RMpQQh-BHaTWEY5xbZ | ||
