imho to every day 3d users like us it may be lacking in 3d, but almost everyone that has tried it are getting their first real 3d gaming experience, I think that's why many of them seem so impressed while Bloody wasn't at all. I remember gamespot TF2 video where the guy was amazed with the particle effects from the gun in 3d, while we are way past that.
Still I agree that we're going to see lots of fake 3d ports here, yet as long as we get a few natively supported games with real s3d, people will start to appreciate how immersive real 3d is and hopefully create a demand for it.

Its starting to become a mass market device and if you look at people specs on MTBS its pretty low end like the rift itself is close to alot of peoples computers in cost. Not to mention driver issues/ probably no sli or crossfire support on renders. The gallery game says the biggest issue they are facing is making it runnable on mid tier machines and tbh I think they were just worrying about dev kit....... [/quote]
Cheers, reading it now. I think your concern about low spec machines is valid, but potentially will go away with a few great games. I'm sure that most the people using OR will upgrade their system to a top end GPU if a top game (HL3, I'm looking at you) comes out with OR properly implemented. I was planning on getting 2x GTX 880 in SLI if they come out next year to go with a consumer OR, again if it launches next year. I have read enough about it to know that latency is a massive problem with VR. I guess just better cross my fingers that
1) At least one killer app is released for the oculus rift.
2) It supports SLI config.
3) A consumer model is released with a much better screen.
I think it's great that Bloody has told it quite straight. I think OR dev kit will be tons of fun, but it obviously isn't the second coming that many people have built it up to be in their heads. I think give it time, it really could develop into what everyone dreams of. I still am 100% sure that it needs some form of hand tracking (via kinnect like system) to be valid. No one wants to play games in VR with a gun strapped to their nose. Well I sure don't anyway.

Now this is an interesting rumor:
"According to the source, Microsoft will announce the new Xbox in May – backing up rumours of a May 21st reveal – and that the company is working on a set of VR glasses to work in tandem with the console."

I saw this about a year ago, was shown as a concept idea (and one they said would come out half way through the Xbox's life like kinnect). The idea was that you would wear a pair of glasses (like google glasses) that draw things over a clear LCD. That way you not only get 3D from your 3D TV, but grandaes etc can actually be thrown out of the TV onto your carpet, and you could pick them up with your hands via kinnect.
The tech and idea behind it is all very sound, and very much possible. Kinect 2.0 must be a lot more accurate then Kinect 1, but that seems to already be the case (likely up to 200x more accurate). These concepts were directly spoken from Microsoft if I remember, and I think it will be amazing but also a completely different experience to VR and OR. The TV will still be the centre of the room, and the glasses will only help expand things out of the TV (which will be amazing when bullets are flying out of the screen into your room) but you still have to look towards the TV to play the main game. If that initial concept is still the idea behind this 'VR' then I wouldn't call it true VR, its more augmented reality. Still, very cool stuff and depite disliking the kinnect for any hard-core games at the moment, I'm 100% sure motion sensor will be the only way we play games at some point.
Holodeck anyone? Who needs controllers!
EDIT: "In terms of OS, the source stated that both models of Xbox 720 would run on a full version of Windows 8 – minus interface"
WTF? seriously, if xbox runs windows 8, surely that means games will be able to be modified to work on the PC? That would be really awesome if it is possible.
