Oculus rift... y no excitiment?

i'm just wondering cause I would think this is a big deal in game affordable vr. To me this is what i been waiting for yet i never see treads talking about it and what it means for games.. the dev. kit goes out soon and at a price of only $300 i wonld think a few of u on here would buy it just to play games like doom and hawkens to test it out...

I will buy the consumer version when it is released (maybe the dev kit depending on reviews), but I am not one to create or participate in hype threads.

Consumer version pls

the dev. kit goes out soon

I'm super excited for the consumer model...

Yeah, can't say I'm excited about this thing...

The supported game list would need to grow substantially, I think a company like Microsoft or Sony making it a part of their next console (PS5/1080) will be more successful, as devs would be forced to support it.

It certainly seems like a promising idea for the future, once more companies make their own versions. Not sure how successful Oculus Rift will be though.

What exactly makes him a dumbass? :?

Yeah, looks bulky to me. If this is your thing, go ahead and enjoy, but don't expect everyone's sharing your tastes...

He's a dumbass because the product is used for gaming immersion, not as a fashion accessory.

I'm very interested in it, but it's not really helpful to get hyped 'til the consumer version is out.Inconsistancy

Cautiously optimistic here, but untill I can test it myself, I have no comment on it, as usual.

Gimmick. Same sht as wii and Kinect, in the sense that you have to move around. People are really excited about buying a motorcycle helmet to use as the look function in games? F that.Heirren

I understand where you r coming from and a lot of developers while not making announcement are looking forward to seeing thier playing around with vr

@mane43">https://twitter.com/mane43">mane43> no concrete plans but definitely want to play around with it and experiment once we get the kits

I am excited but what happened that it got in the news again? Did they ship them to the kickstarter supporters?
Very exciting stuff! I am just waiting to see what they will improve on it, and I will definitely buy one at some point.
It's bound to become a cool game enhancer. Like an enhanced TrackIR.

I wouldn't say it's a stupid product, early previews sounded promising. But I would have to wear it and see for myself what it's like. If it really is like you're in the game looking around yourself then that would be extremely cool. But if it's a jittery low res crappy display then it would be annoying.

All we can do is wait and see but it sounds promising.

If it works for consoles and only costs 300 bucks, i would think about it big time.

If it immerses you more and makes it feel like you're in that world looking around it would be stupid to not be excited about it, especially as a gamer. This is like a gamers wet dream, to actually feel like you're there. Saying what you said is like going "Why would I want to play Zelda with dumb clunky motion controls?", it helps drive immersion and connection to a game more

Imagine playing something like amnesia with this thing. You would be pretty damn scared

I only brought up the Zelda thing cos it's Bruno :P

Also I don't know why you would need a swivel chair, it moves with head movements not whole body. And it likely has deadzones so you don't do full 360s to turn around in game. With would be like TrackIR

i don't think it immerses you any more than 3D glasses would, which is to say little. it's also likely heavy and having big bulky goggles hanging on your nose isn't exactly comfortable. then you have two TVs inches from your eyes, just begging to kill you with eyestrain.

add in the fact that it's likely impossible to wear them with normal glasses and you already have at least 3 reasons why i wouldn't buy it.

You are speculating far too much. You're just coming off as pessimistic and petty. We have no idea how heavy it is or the consumer model will be, we also don't know what it will be like having those screens in front of your eyes, maybe it will cause eyestrain.

Also as stated above, Carmack is leading on this thing and he always wears glasses. It's probably a thing very close to his thinking about the whole thing actually.

Funny fact about the head motion control: When you bend your neck to look at your feet your eyes don't just "rotate" down, they also move "forward". OR actualy compensates for this, which is pretty cool.Sushiglutton

That is pretty neat. The more I read about this the more I think they're trying really hard to make it a proper attemtp at VR. And it sounds promising. All I need to know now is a price and it's seriously in consideration

I was thinking about that the other day...

As far as the argument goes here I think some of the people in this thread are FAR too skeptical even with the information that is out there.

I would like to experience it first hand. How can I get excited for it when I cannot even imagine what it is like?

And I don't know why, as gamers, new stuff like this that could immerse us more and change how we play should have us excited. But in the day of the modern gamer it's just easier and cooler apparently to hate on things you have no interest in.

It's cool to not want it, hell, if the price is too high I likely won't get one. But to speculate so much on something before even seeing it in person is a bit dumb. Im far more open minded about the whole thing.

It's not very practical for me, and my current computer setup. My space is too tiny, and it's hard to use any more than just my keyboard/mouse to game with.

I'm ultra-hyped to give it a test drive and would be all over it if the support is good when it launches. Anywhere below $600 and I'd be a day one.
