Wil Wheaton Not a Fan of Facebook's Oculus Acquisition

It used to be the magic of Hollywood special effects that transported actors like Wil Wheaton to other lands when they entered the holodeck in Star Trek: The Next Generation. But video game technology is catching up to science fiction. Wheaton, who’s a big video game – and tabletop game – fan, talks about the near future of holodecks in your home and explains why he’s not a fan of Oculus Rift’s decision to join Facebook in this exclusive [a]list daily interview.

Not sure why Palmer Luckey didn't consult Wil Wheaton before the $2 billion deal.

IanVanCheese3683d ago (Edited 3683d ago )

I wonder if he is available for financial advice, I'm thinking of investing and I need some help?

Battlefieldlover3683d ago

Good question, he didn't consult his financial backers either.....

BX813683d ago

Wil Wheaton this is Sheldon Cooper... You shall fall!

SteamPowered3683d ago

I'm still waiting for micheal Dorn's opinion. He is my moral compass.

lsujester3683d ago

That deal was decidedly not honorable.

I don't like Zuckerberg, I wont support OR. Just like I wont make an FB account.

JBSleek3683d ago

You don't like Zuckerberg? May I question why specifically him the guy who is the most charitable rich person in 2013?

ironfist923683d ago

Suppose its one way to make money by selling personal data to multi-national corporations and governments.

starchild3683d ago

Because it's the cool hipster contrarian thing to do, man. Get with the times.

Baccra173683d ago

You're surprised that he doesn't like a person that considers consumers/users of his products as dumb f'cks? I'm surprised that you'd follow someone like that whose actions show what he's all about.

Baccra173683d ago

And for those that were wondering here are the links to the sites that reported about Zuck calling his users "dumb f'cks."

And you guys want to put VR into his hands? Amazing...

JBSleek3682d ago

I don't care about him as a person I care about the product. Many CEO's are cut throat and very nasty but not once when buying a product have I ever said: "Wait is their CEO a nice person".

Ocsta3683d ago

If Data says its a good thing, I'll be on board. Until then, NEVAH!

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.

Babadook7354d ago

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

Knushwood Butt355d ago (Edited 355d 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_Mal355d ago

Not into F1 racing, but still a missed opportunity.

ApocalypseShadow355d 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_Mal355d 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 Butt354d 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.
