Oculus Rift Kickstarter

[Aug 02, 2012, 10:54 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

This Kickstarter is for Oculus Rift, described as "the first truly immersive virtual reality headset for video games." This includes endorsement quotes from id Software's John Carmack, Epic's Cliff Bleszinski, Unity's David Helgason, and Valve's Michael Abrash and Gabe Newell (thanks Rob). Word is:

Oculus Rift is a new virtual reality (VR) headset designed specifically for video games that will change the way you think about gaming forever. With an incredibly wide field of view, high resolution display, and ultra-low latency head tracking, the Rift provides a truly immersive experience that allows you to step inside your favorite game and explore new worlds like never before.

We're here raising money on Kickstarter to build development kits of the Rift, so we can get them into the hands of developers faster. Kickstarter has proven to be an amazing platform for accelerating big and small ideas alike. We hope you share our excitement about virtual reality, the Rift, and the future of gaming.

I feel as if the gun fired almost exactly like the Quake grenade launcher. And yes, the guy I played with didn't get it, either, so I massacred him. He was off staring at pterodactyl while I arced shots at his head. Same here, I remembered a having a gun. I admit I didn't play it much like a game either, I spent more time wandering around and looking at the pterodactyl. For the amount of money it cost I'm going to play the way I want to damnit. Then my buddy shot me in the back and all bets were off.
