I am not clicking that. I don't need to spend half an hour watching stupid dorks scream themselves silly at another one of these shitty "horror" games that knock off Slenderman and Amnesia and whatever other shitpiles pass for horror these days.

Can't remember whether you've still got the Oculus Rift, henke, or whether you take requests, but if so, do you want to give Dear Esther and/or Gone Home a spin, provided they work? Their slow pace should be well suited to the OR.

Yeah I'll be holding on to the Rift for a while still. Probably until someone pries it from my cold dead fingers, or politely asks me to bring it back to work. We'll see.
Unfortunately the OR development on Gone Home has been (
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/exclusive-fullbright-company-cancels-active-development-gone-home-oculus-rift-1433352) canceled, and I'm not too keen on putting myself through the experience of playing any more games without native support.
I wonder if games without native support ever will be good and playable on the Rift. Maybe once the Vireio Perception app has been further developed and you're running it on a really powerful computer, perhaps. But some things, like Stalker, I believe would need some serious redesigning when it comes to the GUI to be playble, even on the higher resolution consumer versions of the Rift. The ammo counters and inventory are too tiny and too far in the corners of the screen to be readable. I think the Rift will be mainly usable for newer games designed for it. For older games it'll take some work from either the developers or dedicated fans to get them into a state where they'd be preferable to simply sticking with the ol' monitor-version.

That's understandable. There's a Unity remake of Dear Esther in the works (for licencing reasons of some sort, I believe), and it seems that version is likely to support Oculus Rift.

That was interesting. :D
If anyone's got more suggestions for cool Oculus Rift ready stuff, don't hold back!
