Just two chairs and two Oculus VR headsets, with a nice banner on the wall behind them The actual experience itself is a little bit different. The phrase Jinba ittai is a Japanese term which refers to the bond between horse and rider It's that symbiotic relationship that Mazda is attempting to give you with their[...]

Oculus Co-founder Palmer Luckey is leaving Facebook Luckey is the credited inventor of the Rift virtual reality headset Facebook purchased Oculus in 2014, making Luckey a Facebook employee According to a report at UploadVR, today is Luckey's last day on the job at Facebook.

4A Games gave further details yesterday their upcoming title for the Oculus Touch, Arktika.1 which is a post-apocalyptic shooter set in a brand new ice age You'll play a mercenary hired by Citadel Security to protect one of the last colonies in the wastelands of Russia from "violent raiders, marauders, and horrifying creatures." The game will use the latest version[...]

The Oculus Touch is a really cool controller There is something very intuitive about the way it works, and once it releases, it will add something to the Rift that had it lagging behind the Vive. We now have a date on the product too, as it was announced yesterday that the Oculus Touch would be[...]

So, remember when I said the story about previous employers suing Oculus wonderkid Palmer Luckey for essentially being fake might be one of the biggest stories in years? Well, it just took the most bizarre turn. It The Daily Beast has revealed the guy has been financially supporting Nimble America, a pro-Trump organisation that gets its aggresively anti-Clinton[...]

Back in 2014, word of ZeniMax suing Oculus got out, with the company claiming that the Rift was designed based off of technology, code and knowleege that was stolen from them. Well, that story has come roaring back in a pretty viscious way As spotted by GameInformer, that lawsuit has been amended with some pretty direct[...]

ReVive is a program that allows the Oculus front page to work on a Vive When the headsets first launched, it meant game that were Oculus exclusive, could be played on Vive Despite Oculus founder Palmer Luckey saying he would like the Library to be open to all VR users, that came to a stop[...]

One of the details that came with the initial report was that Microsoft were actively trying to partner up with Oculus to get VR support on the console. Well, that rumour has gotten a little more support today, as another report from Ars Technica claims that they have heard that a major European developer is currently working[...]

Elite: Dangerous has had an on/off relationship with Oculus It was once a big supporter of the system, backing it publicly early, with there being working versions of it on Oculus Dev Kits However, that support was dropped when it was announced the Frontier were going to 'side' with SteamVR It was then announced after[...]

Insomniac were one of the first major developers to throw in with VR, with the announcement of Edge of Nowhere for the Oculus Rift. Well, the developer has just announced two more games set for release later this year The first is The Unspoken It's being described as a magic fight club, which will pit players against[...]

The Oculus Rift is starting to find its way out there now, with March pre-orders beginning to be filled The earliest buyers will begin to receive their order this week, if they haven't gotten them yet. And founder of the Oculus Rift, Palmer Luckey decided to do a really cool thing for the very first person[...]

The Oculus Rift has been a promising little product for years now, but up until now, it has remained just that A promise Unless you were picking up a dev kit, you probably haven't had regular access to the device, if any at all. Well, it appears as if high end VR is here Today, CEO[...]

It's been said that 50 of those titles are set to come between launch in October and the end of the year too Now we can take a look at what Oculus are offering on the Rift with its launch, which is shockingly only two weeks away now With the advent of high-end consumer VR so[...]

Of course, you can run the likes of Civ 5 on a Macbook pretty well, but there are few who are going to be trying to get Rise of the Tomb Raider running at 4k 60fps. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey rather brashly pointed that out in a recent interview with Shacknews too If asked if the[...]

Oculus have marked their position first and the Vive and PlayStation VR are expected to follow closely behind Seeing which headset 'comes out on top' will be interesting for sure (even if I don't think it is that overly important in the long run.) Oculus Rift creator Palmer Luckey had some interesting words to say about[...]

I think most people were a little surprised by the price reveal of the Oculus Rift yesterday I don't believe the $599 price to be obscene, especially as this seems focused on a slow roll out of the tech, but the noise online has been loud, that's for sure. Well, Palmer Luckey, the Rift's creator, thinks[...]

And it's a pretty controversial flag. Oculus have just announced that the Oculus Rift will launch in March and will set you back $599/£499 You can pre-order the headset here if you so wish. That…that is steep I think it shows that Oculus really aren't looking for mass adoption out of the gate, instead getting early adopters[...]

The Oculus Rift is set to be with us in Q1, but it will come in a little light. The touch controllers, that are actually quite impressive by most accounts, won't be making the ball, instead arriving fashionably late some time in the future Oculus announced the delayed controllers on Facebook saying: On the path to perfecting[...]

While we don't know when the Oculus Rift is launching specifically, do expect to be treated to a little gift if you pre-order one It's been announced by CCP that a free copy of Eve: Valkyrie will come with every headset pre-bought The fighter pilot game will make a pretty explosive first introduction[...]

While the announcement at The Game Awards was not the release date we all wanted, as promised Oculus did turn up last night Although, I don't think many people would have guessed that the technology developer would be teaming up with Harmonix to make Rock Band VR. It was all announced with this little skit which[...]

There is one thing that has dogged the Oculus Rift around for a long time now, and that is the issue of a specific release date Oculus have made multiple public appearances continually, yet the closest we are to knowing anything is a vague 'early 2016' window. Well, Oculus will be at the Game Awards on[...]

Just recently, we were given the ballpark figure of $300+ for the Oculus Rift Now, it seems that number has been bumped up a little now in a recent interview. Oculus creator Palmer Luckey said that while the consumer version of the headset will be comparable in price, they will ultimately be more expensive than the[...]

The big question surrounding the Oculus Rift and other VR headsets, is how much are these devices are going to cost These are premium experiences and finding out how premium the price will be is more or less the last key step in their pre-release schedule. Well, we have a pretty good idea now at least,[...]

At Oculus Connect 2, a few things were announced, but none so were probably as important as the reveal that Minecraft's Windows 10 version will be coming to the Rift This could be a killer app for the game, especially for fans who get their hands on the headset. This is a bit of an about[...]

It's a pretty interesting experience and one you should definitely try if you get the chance. During Oculus's press conference yesterday, it was announced that the game would be a launch title for the Rift too It will be out day and date with the hardware, meaning that if you pick up the Rift, Adr1ft is[...]

The internet has been abuzz over the last 24 hours with the most recent cover of Time Magazine which features Oculus Rift creator Palmer Luckey I'll just thought I'd share it incase you missed it, because you're going to see this in memes all over the place over the next few days. Eesh Who ever designed[...]

Both burst with colour and make very comofortable homes on consoles. That is why I was surprised to see them take the stage yesterday at Oculus' Pre-E3 press conference yesterday I was even more surprised to see their Oculus exclusive game Edge of No Where, a third person Lovecraftian decent in a snowy region. It really almost[...]

Today Oculus conducted their Pre-E3 press conference, so I guess in a way, we have started E3 That is kind of terrifying. It was officially announced that the Oculus Rift would be coming in Q1 of 2016, as we previously suspected On top of that, Oculus announced a partnership with Microsoft, meaning that the Oculus will[...]
