Warcraft: Skies of Azeroth

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Here’s a nice 360 video…  Please note, this video will work best in Chrome (Especially on mobile devices) You can also watch it if you have an Oculus and the VR Desktop application installed.

The video will look strange in Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer (I haven’t tried Microsoft Edge yet, but I think that it’ll be the same there too.)  Really, the Gryphon looks like a very strange rug.

I’ve always been a fan of the Warcraft series, but I just never really got into World of Warcraft, mostly thanks to the fact that I don’t want to pay a montly fee for a game when I have plenty of others that I still need to get through.  I am certainly looking forward to the Warcraft Movie.

Luckey defends Oculus’ decision to fund Rift-exclusive games

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

There has been a bit of a mess on Reddit, as Oculus revealed that they’re financing a number of Oculus Exclusive games…

Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey shed some more light on the company’s approach to game development when he took to Reddit this weekend to respond to user concerns regarding Oculus’ decision to fund development of Rift-exclusive games from developers like Insomniac.

Personally, I’m not sure what I think of Oculus exclusive games, I’d like to be able to play on any headset that I have, but I understand why they’re doing that.  They will need to turn a profit to be successful.  It is very likley that I’ll get the Oculus CV1, as I have both of the devkits, and I do really like VR.  I’m still looking forward to OSVR and the Vive headsets too, we have some interesting stuff coming down in 2016 it appears.
