Everyone who says the Rift is a gimmick, either doesn't know what the definition of gimmick is,or have not tried the Oculus Rift. Let me give facts on the matter.

Every FPS that anyone has ever played, is trying to emulate actually being in a virtual space.They have it where you tilt the joystick and see master chiefs feet. Or, you can see the characters hands on the gun etc. The Oculus Rift is TRUE FIRST PERSON. You turn your head and the view is a true to life representation of the game world IN STEREOSCOPIC 3d, which gives depth to the world unlike any TV screens you've seen.

So in actuality,EVERY fps you have played is a "gimmick" and the Rift is the first time that we can actually play in "TRUE FIRST PERSON". I was playing Half-Life 2 in the Rift and was walking through the train station and hit the guard. When the **** started chasing me, I "literally" looked over my shoulder to see where he was and saw him gaining on me in 3d. It...WAS....CREEPY...AS....SHIT! This is not your fathers VR. This is the future!

For those who have a dev kit...................Play Alone in the Rift. Nuff said.

Yeah Thats probably what I should have done, because the resolution is problematic presently. But Im sort of an early adopter. I gotta tell ya though the Alone in the Rift and half life 2 among other great demos is worth the price to me LOL. If they can slap a Kinect 2.0 style sensor on the front of these bad boys. So you can see your hands in the game world this will be bigger than Iwhatever! lolol.

No sir, . The so called "Virtual boy" is nothing of the sort. Its Stupid Red lines, on a device that had no Low latency head tracking, no accelerometers, made you see red all day, and did not have the Gpu and Cpu power we have now. Essentially, they TRIED to do VR before the tech was ready. But ooohh my its ready now. Im SURE you have access to Youtube. Check out reactions to the Rift. It's simply TELLING THE TRUTH.

I REALLY want to play Amnesia on these.

the hype came and went for 3D and motion controls because of ONE reason......The TV is NOT where those things should ever have been. They are VR attributes that belong solely in an HMD. And after trying the Rift..I'm a believer. Its like the Matrix, you can't be TOLD about it. You have to try it. Thats when you go "OOOH I see" and it clicks.

Battletoads was a great franchise. And since MS is rebooting Rare titles.....Why not Rash, Pimple and Zitz!!! with better graphics. I would love to see the infamous hoverbike level redone, to be even more controller brakier than before. maybe give it an Rpg leveling system. Hell!!! Make it a kickass Action Rpg.

They could give flys as skill points for kickin ass and learnin new attacks. Grubs would be for raising your attribute level (strength,dexterity,etc). Man it would be such a fun multiplayer experience.

I wish I could. Its a Shame that MS is sitting on all those great franchises. We need more gameplay options than just bullets flyin everywhere.
