Oculus Rift Loses Doom 3 BFG Edition From Launch Package, But Gains TF2

Posted by Unknown on from the still-get-to-shoot-virtual-people dept.

skade88 writes "Neoseeker and the Verge are reporting that the Oculus Rift launch will no longer have Doom 3 BFG support. But in some good news to offset the bad, Valve will be releasing an Oculus ready version of TF2 when the Dev kits ship. For those backers who are upset about not having Doom 3 BFG edition support on launch of the Oculus Rift, they are offering the following options: '$20 Steam Wallet credit ... $25 Oculus Store credit ... or a full refund for your pledge.'"

  1. Oculus Rift is not like your fathers VR eyewear. by badford · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I have not seen it and I am actually intrigued by it. Thought the history of VR Googles was kinda funny though:

    it's different than Sega VR, Nintendo Virtual boy and Google Glasses.

    It is SPECIAL

    in ways I don't even dream of knowing how. it is special in wonderous, magnificient ways. ways beyond human understanding or comprehension.

    it RIFTS your OCULUS and other some such.

    when you look from your own eyeballs it makes you think you are in DOOM LAND (or mario land or some other land that is not your own plain-old boring land)

    VR land is better than reality because we all know that immersion is the name of the game here.

    please don't reach out and touch OCULUS land for it is covered in magical patent juice and will make your children bleed money.
