Q: How simple was it for Hawken to be adaprted for the Rift?

Q: Is it something that can be applied just as easily to most FPS games, and crucially retroactivally applied to the existing bacl-catalogue with a bit of jiggery pokery?

Q: How much more demanding on the hardware is Hawken through the Rift? Were there any graphical compromises to maintain playability?

Thanks LB, noted.

"Star Citizen will support stereoscopic 3D and the Oculus Rift headset, which, Roberts believes, will make for even more immersive in cockpit dogfights." From the front page story.

Wing Commander kind of game for the Rift?
Yes please.

Palmer just announced over at MTBS3D, that the Oculus Rift will carry 9DOF (i.e. positional perhaps?). This might mean that the motions sickness issues caused by 'disconnect' when moving laterally could be hugely improved.

Does that include the rifts being delivered as kickstarter rewards? Very good news either way!

My guess is yes - the parts will have been sourced by that point anyway.

Wonder if Carmack will have time to integrate that into Doom 3 BFG Edition? I'm guessing it'll be a late addition to whatever driver/SDK he's been using.

If you were wondering, Deckard1, that strange feeling at the base of your spine is your own fist that I'm presuming you randomly rammed up your arse while looking for your missing pet mouse one time and forgot to pull it out.

This also, ironically, will very literally stop you from giving a shit ever again. What are the odds?

We go to their homes and take a giant dump through their letterboxes, of course!

I don't get a scam vibe off this I'd have to say. Could well be wrong, mind you.
