You have to play the game on your profile. Pretty much negates you lending it to a friend, no?
As someone who has quite a few friends that have had xbox live accounts banned unfairly, does anyone else realize if you get banned now none of your games will work? They basically have permission to fuck you over whenever and their lackluster customer service can't handle that power.
Even if Nvidia were to implement support for the Oculus' 3D vision, to get the full experience it'd need integration in the game for the accelerometers and gyroscopes to move the camera. There's enough developer support, though, that I don't think you'll have to rely on nVidia implementing it.But I still prefer PC games mainly because so far 3D Vision seems to work so much better than the 3D supported games I've tried on PS3! My "dream" is that nVidia will add support for Oculus Rift so that games that work with 3D Vision will just "automatically" work with the Rift, rather than requiring in-game support for it. But even if that never happens, I will still probably buy Oculus Rift once the consumer edition is out.
Oh yeah, forgot about the gyroscope camera movements for a moment. You're right, I guess you'd need game support for that. I'm thinking that even without the movement support, at least it'd work for the 3D and immersion part! But I also recall some comments that if your head is not in control of the "looking around" movement, you're a bit more likely to get motion sickness. So I guess that may also be an issue.Even if Nvidia were to implement support for the Oculus' 3D vision, to get the full experience it'd need integration in the game for the accelerometers and gyroscopes to move the camera.

A number of developers showed a lot of interest in the oculus because VR has always really been the holy grail of gaming. 3D is nice and all, but actually immersing yourself in the world is a completely different experience.Oh yeah, forgot about the gyroscope camera movements for a moment.

I'm also not certain about the developer support, since even 3D Vision, pushed by a large company like nVidia, doesn't really have "widespread" support... But as I said, I'll probably buy it anyways, and just keep a lookout for whichever games really does support it.
This. Not to mention it was the (expected) TV/unrelated to gaming blowout. Quite sad really, this doesn't seem like a device with the focus on gaming. It was getting more and more obvious on the 360, now it's just getting even worse.You have to play the game on your profile. Pretty much negates you lending it to a friend, no?
No backwards compatibility.
No escape from Internet connection.
No lending games.
Xbox one? No thank you.
the tables have turned now eh?Xbox One, RIP even before release.
That would definitely be great and would probably make me all but give up on console gaming completely, disappointing new gen or not!A number of developers showed a lot of interest in the oculus because VR has always really been the holy grail of gaming. 3D is nice and all, but actually immersing yourself in the world is a completely different experience.
As for the motion-sickness aspect, in my conversations with Palmer on the subject of the Oculus, I believe the issue he pointed out was more about latency. If the camera can't keep up with your head you'll have problems, but I don't believe anything's been said about motion-sickness from having the camera not move at all.
PS4 is much more powerful than Xbox one, likely up to 50%, insiders have said PS4 has a beast GPU, both have the same CPU chipsets.Has any one acknowledged how the PS4 and Xbox one have very similar specs, like, almost the same goddanm thing? What's the freaking point anymore if they're both just commodity PC hardware anyways now.
