Geek Week: first look at Oculus Rift

VVV: "This is where Oculus Rift comes in, a virtual reality 3D headset that has the potential to shape the future of gaming by upping the level of immersion to a whole new level.

We managed to get our first look at Oculus Rift at the EToo event (London's homegrown equivalent to E3) in a hands-on session with Strike Suit Zero, an indie space combat game released earlier in the year for PC. Here the developer's Community Manager talks us through the process of adapting their title for Oculus Rift before Alan had a hands-on with the device whilst trying not to get motion sickness in the dizzying, immersive 3D environment:"

I really hope MS and Sony eventually bring out their own versions of this for XB1 and PS4. To me, this would be the next step in next gen gaming. Plus it's a good alternative to a 3dtv in some respects

spaceg0st3902d ago

this is totally next gen gaming. I can't wait for this. with this... gamers don't need to spend thousands of dollars on big tvs. The OcRift gives you immersion like no other

TripC503902d ago

I totally agree with you. This is the future of gaming.

That's fine. GT7 would overshadow it anyway at it has open wheel and regular cars.

Should have been spending their time updating Squadrons with better resolution, frame rate, haptics, etc as there isn't a game like that on PS VR 2 yet.

But it's EA. They don't think.

Babadook7342d ago

I agree. It would sell better on PSVR2 right now.

Knushwood Butt342d ago (Edited 342d ago )

A wasted opportunity, but I don't buy EA / Codemasters stuff anyway. Grid Legends just came out on Plus and I haven't touched it. Why would I when I have GT7 and PSVR2?

Abnor_Mal342d ago

Not into F1 racing, but still a missed opportunity.

ApocalypseShadow342d ago

That's where opportunity presents itself that they could offer something else that other developers haven't offered yet. Yeah. There's No Man's Sky. But a space game with a story would be great. Like the old days with Colony Wars.

Abnor_Mal342d ago

Exactly, they could have possibly lured more players just from the inclusion of a vr mode.

I miss Colony wars and G-Police, Low-Fi I hope will scratch that itch when it releases. We also need a vr War/Starhawk game.

Knushwood Butt342d ago

Just watched the trailer of Low-Fi. Most definitely on my radar.

Although I never owned an oculus, I played the demo for this at an electronics store. Pretty impressive in an early goings of VR title.
