See, there's so many licensing opportunities. I was thinking it could even have a movie. Maybe starring Vin Diesel. XxX - I Am Boxxx.
They did miss a trick in not calling the third Xbox design the XCube - they could have even shaped it appropriately and gotten a nice bit of marketing cachet.

I think XXX is already being licensed all across the internet?

Hmm, so you're saying that I thought I was looking at Vin Diesel all along? Oh dear. So much for laying pipes.

Guys. There is not a single SteamVR game that isn't playable on Oculus + touch. That's how SteamVR works.
I am aware of that, but then again I don't think anyone has actively
tried to make sure a SteamVR title won't work with Oculus Rift yet either.*

Bethesda has confirmed that Fallout 4 VR will launch on the HTC Vive in October 2017. While most Vive games are built on Valve's OpenVR and technically support the Rift too, it's unclear if the game will actively block Rift support via OpenVR due to Bethesda parent company Zenimax's unpleasant history with Oculus.
*oh wait, yes I can! Google Earth VR on Steam didn't work straight out of the box for Oculus Rift, it needed a hack to get going.

Microsoft should've called it the OXO Cube.
Top Ox Box. That's what they should've called it.

And given that Oculus's business practices are decidedly worse than Bethesda's, I'm none to fussed about Bethesda fucking with them in the courts.
Methinks you may want to take a deeper look at Zenimax / Bethesda.
I mean sure, if you assume the Oculus = Facebook, yeah, they don't come out looking great. But if you remove that association, Oculus themselves are pretty cool. Palmer made a few stupid mistakes, but how he spends his money is his own problem, and he's no longer associated with Oculus.
But Zenimax / Bethesda are dickwads of the highest order. The amount of IP they've taken from developers through nefarious legal shenanigans is nauseating. The Human Head situation wasn't the first or last example of their tactics. I'm pretty sure they approached the acquisition of id in exactly the same way, they DEFINITELY did the same to Interplay and Fallout, and I have my suspicions about Arkane. In fact, I'm willing to bet that for anything that isn't The Elder Scrolls, they pulled exactly the same shit every time.
And there even appears to be bad blood between the creator of The Elder Scrolls and Zenimax / Bethesda.
NeoGaf's got a couple of (

Give those a read and see if you still hold the same opinion afterwards.
Sorry, I tend to get a bee in my bonnet when it comes to Zenimax / Bethesda.

Some people don't like Oculus because they dare to have platform "exclusives" that they funded themselves (and probably haven't even broken even yet) and that actually can be used with the Vive (sometimes even for free). I'm not one of those people.

Anyway, let's reiterate -- still the most gorgeous thing shown so far:
It's pretty stunning at 2160p in 60 FPS.
Ori is pretty but the gameplay is a little underwhelming. I got it because it looked great and looked fun. There are better platformers.
