I was really concerned seeing there was no topic about this huge gaming breakthrough that is about to hit us in the upcoming months even before 2014, i hope.
All the reviews are really great and everyone is expecting this to be the next big thing in gaming.

Looks pretty promising if so many tech/gaming bigwigs are saying so. I'm excited.

I'm excited to see what the consumer version will be like. Also, with developer kits and the SDK shipping in the coming months, it's going to be fun to see what devs can make with it. :D

First game Occulus ready...Doom 3. Well im in!

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?

What really impressed me was the 110 FOV and that there is NO latency in head movement !!! also I think I read somewhere (not sure) that you would need a very good PC to run this without problems. 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.

Read some reviews. Looks quite nice. I still feel integration won't be as easy as tom makes it out to be, but the fact that this is under a year away excites me.

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

Man you have to be suicidal. No way would I play anything half as scary as Amnesia like that. Serious Sam would be fun, though.

Just imagine if this thing ever supports slenderman.

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!

Wouldn't that thing cause serious nausea? I mean, your brain is immersed in a virtual world but your body isn't. So moving and jumping should cause some serious problems.

Oh it will. Unity support will be ready with the release of the development kits. Slenderman was apparently made in Unity.

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??

Imagine if someone puts his hands on your shoulders while you're playing Amnesia with this thing. :D

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.

In the article in OP it says they are aiming for around $300.

If it's "only" $300 I'll definitely get one. From all I've read, this thing seems to be awesome. 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. ^^
