Been following the Oculus Rift project, here are the below details what it can do for MWO

Advanced low Latency tracking for more than 60 degrees
There isnt any border to the field of vision !!! Its like being seated 10 feet from a iMAX Curved screen around your ears !!!
Built in 3D !!!
All the sharpest Pixels at the center of the right and left LED screens with less at the sides of vision ! Potentially HD 3D !!
Immerser 3D audio earphones optional !

Come on guys ! its due late next year ! Plenty of time to roll out the patches for it !! Please support it !!

Thanks

Kickstarter provides good information for it, supports DOOM 3 and Hawken will support it.

Thanks Hon.

Has the technology behind VR finally gotten to the point where it doesn't cause severe disorientation once you take the helmet off? I played some VR arcade games back in the late 90s and I could barely walk straight after maybe 10 minutes of play.

Occulus Rift? No thanks.

TrackIR for life, peeps.

[Lin Shai]

No. It does not need to support a niche piece of hardware that doesn't even exist yet.

And no, hawken isn't supporting it. After the paid PR splash they backtracked and said "eventually" (see gamespy article)

[MrGreen]

Afraid of progress much?

Good thing mankind has seen smarter people than some of you guys or we'd still ride horses and play with rocks.

And yes Hawken will support the Rift. Maybe not on launch day. That's all they've said. Keep your FUD to yourself.

Let's get TrackIR support first...

I've purchased the developer kit (coming January), and I can tell you I will definitely try Hawken when I can, simply because it will support Oculus Rift.

I remember playing Mechwarrior 2 with VR Goggles+head tracker back in the day, and the experience was amazing. I practically fell off my chair trying to follow a mech that was walking past my side cockpit. (looking around the cockpit and out every window is very immersive)

MWO needs to look into supporting the Oculus Rift, it will bring a lot of people into this game, and I can tell you from experience, you have no idea how amazing a mech game feels unless you've tried it.

Yep, I've been waiting for this since I first got in the game.

Oculus in Hawken makes me laugh so much..

that game is one giant smear on your screen, seriously. If you are dodging like you should be in the game, as well as your enemy all you see is the targeting box on the screen, EVERYTHING ELSE IS A SMEAR, it's terrible. Probably the worst game I've ever played. Motion blur does not work, in any game.

That's cool if you want to kill your eyes by adding a simulated huge screen one inch from your eyeballs.

Looks like it would be really bad for your eyes having a screen that close to your face.

[FunkyFritter]

-Functional matchmaking
-Working hit detection
-Oculus Rift support

Pick two.

Hawken is going to be for the faster pace crowd that will get rid of allot of sucide players in this game. esp because all of their cash shop items have a in game and real world value that can be purchased with either, except for the fluff items that dont impact gameplay.

Secondly:
How about they spend their recources (manpower, time and money) on something less redundant. Like making the game not crash or fullscreen or DX11 or netcode?
Something like that that really everyone needs and not something that doesn't exist yet and might just fail spectacularly.

I was going to say 'this looks like an amazing product'...

Until I read the terms of sale. The whole 'you get NO WARRANTY or any kind of technical support' just makes me think this is a shady company. When was the last time you bought something brand new and didnt get any kind of warranty?

The entire terms of sale is stripping you of all of your legal rights as a consumer (at least as a Canadian consumer, I dont know anything about US consumer laws).

I wont be supporting a company that cares more about its bottom line than complying with laws put in place to protect us, the consumer.

Just my opinion though.
