I have nothing to say to people who actively, directly ignore statements intended to rectify misconceptions like that. Read more

Read this statement from Palmer Luckey co-founder of the company addressing public concerns regarding the buyout. http://kotaku.com/oculus-address… Read more

Don't try to poke holes in my sentiment. I'm allowing the skeptics to slap on their tin foil hats and pout about the evil corporations. They can do whatever they please and the rest of us can enjoy the Rift on games, because we're gamers, this is a gaming blog and it will PRIMARILY be a device utilized for video games. Read more

Don't bother wasting your breath. The people opposed to the opposition have already parroted their points, made up their minds and stuck their heads in the sand. Let them turn their noses up at the possibility of near-limitless research, development and production dollars that will inevitably bring the technology to… Read more

SchrodingerStation 4 coming this summer. *units may be working or defective upon arrival, we suggest that you don't open the box that they come in to ensure optimal usage. Read more

You say that as if "Virtual Console" on Nintendo platforms and digital classic ports from previous hardware generations hasn't been a thing for close to a decade. Read more

Fuck reactionary knee-jerk positions, they're meaningless to me. Call me when the Oculus is ready for commercial release, better yet, call me a year into retail and we'll see if this news has had any discernible or quantifiable effect on the production, development or sales of the hardware.

Kickstarter donations are not equivalent to capital investment in a company, that is made clear in several places during the process of donating to any project. All that is offered is the "reward" for the equivalent tier that you donate at. It's charity with the expectation that Kickstarter hopefuls will deliver on… Read more

Well, whatever the case, it's going to be really strange to have multiple wires draped across my living room after nearly a decade and an entire console generation of being fully wireless. Sony has expressed interest in getting this thing wireless when it's gold, so I'm hopeful. Read more

Ah, hadn't thought about that. Good call. Read more

Sony could simply push an optional setting where if the game you're playing doesn't require the LED to be used, you can optionally automatically disable it, but if the game requires the light for any reason, it automatically powers up. That, to me would be the best way to please all parties. Read more

I believe that there are more developers who currently own a RIFT (dev kit) than consumers in the US that own a Nintendo Wii-U. Between the install base of the Wii-U and the lack of dedicated 3rd party developer support, I'm not sure that Nintendo making a VR headset, RIFT or otherwise is a good idea right now. They… Read more

In fact, Retrolink, the company that makes these also makes the adapters you speak of. Read more

They're very cool, but the problem here is that the traditional order is reversed. You eat a cookie first (dunked in milk or dry) and then you drink the milk. This reverses the process therefore requiring you to have an extra/additional glass of milk, which isn't the worst thing it the world if you like milk, but… Read more

UGH, wires. I sincerely hope that they can get this thing wireless for commercial release. There's no way I can have wires (that will likely not be long enough) strewn across my living room from the device hub to the headset. We're living in a WIRELESS age, I'll gladly take a minor knock on frame rate or resolution if… Read more

Clearly, brevity is NOT the soul of wit in this case. Read more

Baby Mario is the equivalent of Muppet Babies or any other number of arbitrarily baby-fied cartoons from that era. There's a portion of the population that finds that kind of trope perfectly endearing, I am not one of them. Yuck. No thank you. Read more
