Ah, finally able to come back to this thread. Did not mean to start a flame war. Like I said, I have been keeping up with everything oculus related. I was also skeptical when I first heard about it. I mean, we have over 20 years of VR broken promises. However, read some reviews, look up some videos on youtube and watch the reaction of people who tried it on. There is a complete change in attitude once they actually wear it. This is probably a good video to show
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJo12Hz_BVI The guy is clearly skeptical as hell and ready to leave, but after trying the rift he changes.
I think people do not understand what is happening. You think you know what 3d is when you play a game on a monitor. No, that is a flat image, there is nothing 3d about it. This video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Jd3-eiid-Uw#t=149 gives a simple example of the difference. Anyway, when you put on the rift, YOU ARE IN THE GAME WORLD. I am not exaggerating. I have seen video after video of reactions, and people say mostly the same thing, the first is "You can't understand unless you try it on" and "I feel like I am really here". I have been researching this for a while and I really do not think it will be a gimmick or a fad.
I also want to point out that oculus said they want to get the rift out to as many people as possible, so they will try and keep the rift as cheap as possible, to make it the same as the dev kit ($300) OR CHEAPER. A final price has not been given yet.
On a side note, even before the oculus, I was hoping the game would be in first person view. The RPG books had you getting crazy eye tech as enhancements, I want to see cool hud dispays (in first person) and stuff through my cybernetic eye implants. I do not mind having a third person view as an option, but I really want a first person view to more immerse myself. Anybody play vampire the masquerade? That was first person (although you can change to 3rd), and it was wonderful. The world felt alive and real. Regardless of the rift, I hope the game has first person view.
With that, I hope the devs can try out the new 1080p rift demo's to see what the buzz is about or find someone who has a rift to let them try it out. I really think this is the future of gaming (and many other things), and think adding rift support would make the game even more amazing.
One more side note, adding rift support will not hurt the game, you can still play it on a regular monitor, but if you have a rift, it will be a hundred (thousand?) times better.
