The actual reality of game design is that the standard "you are a camera on a model walking around a level" causes motion sickness in VR. Most games that tuned toward VR have the player character sitting in a car/fighter cockpit, so as to avoid motion sickness.

Yeah but think of this from a Star Citizen point of view. Once you've spent thousands on a top of the line gaming rig, commander's chair, artisinal flighstick and even more in fake internet ships, an oculus rift is a steal!

I haven't really been following the rift too closely, but weren't the devkits $300-$400?

Yeah, they were like $300, the $300-400 figure was the range they said they were aiming for with the CV1.

With this pricing Oculus became the joke of the year. I wrote here that the free controller will cost much, but You did not believe me commenters. Haha. Anyway, If You want the Rift feeling for 5 dollars, use Google cardboard and download the TrinusVR lite app for Android or idiotPhone. Connect Your phone to Your PC and get the motion sickness in 2 minutes. I wanted to buy a Rift, but I will wait for it 2 years. 2 years, 1/3 price and zero bugs. Well played Oculus, You became the same company as the others.

Ah yes, the mythical "zero bug" software.

Yeah, I'm a dev for some Oculus Rift stuff, and this price does really suck, especially because you seem to be paying for built in earphones and an Xbox controller, which I don't need at all. On the other hand, this should hopefully mean some good competitors for Oculus becoming viable.

Yeah I know that turbo nerds are just itching to get to the Tron/Holodeck/Ender's Game fantasy but hard truth time it's just not going to happen in our lifetimes no matter how much money they throw at people.

I think the Rift looks like a great tool for things like porn, immersive learning, porn, fake vacations, porn, ultra-relaxed exploration games like Gone Home, porn, porn, racing games, porn, porn, and porn, but this weird marketing dream that it'll change the gaming industry is rather delicious freude. At best they were looking at becoming the Wii of the 2010s--popular as gently caress but filled with gimmick software that ultimately flared out--but with this price point they're not even going to get that far. It's still going to be a great for the premium porn market though.

Eh, VR is already pretty amazing and it's not going to die off, it's just not going to be a major consumer item like a TV that's in every home soon like some people predicted.

They were probably released pending charges. There's no way it's not petty theft under $500 and the business is pursuing action, so yeah. They'll probably have a day in court.

The real freude will be when competition drives down the price to reasonable prices, and people kvetch about spending 600 on something that casuals are then buying for a third of what they paid.

This is all well and good, but the owner admitted to shoplifting as a kid but not getting charged and she called the cops when it happened to her. Not that these young women handled themselves well on the internet, but I'd give them the choice to have their pictures up on the Facebook page or get the police involved.
