Oculus 'will undergo Facebook rebrand', report claims

The Oculus Rift is likely to be redesigned to incorporate Facebook branding, according to a national news publication.

That's to be expected, I guess.

Suddenly the Morpheus looks awesome...

Silly Mammo3708d ago

Sony has to be very pleased with this news.

Volkama3708d ago

I think facebook should undergo the re-brand if they want to control VR, it has the potential to be bigger than their website one day.

Facebook would be a stupid name for a VR headset. Unless it is styled to look like a book. That'd make the name perfect.

Mr Pumblechook3708d ago

@Volkama. I agree with you that Facebook would be a stupid name to call a VR unit. But the headset will provide access to unlimited books worth of knowledge and be used on the face. Maybe Bookface?

Volkama3708d ago

It'll open up opportunities for Blackberry to stick straps on real books and hope the kids think having a book on your face is some kind of cool.

chrissx3708d ago

Cool now we get to play farmville in virtual reality...smh :/

Ron_Danger3708d ago

And Minecra... Oh wait... Lol

Facebook buying Oculus is like Amazon.com buying Pepsi.

WeAreLegion3708d ago

At least Pepsi would have good customer support...

Niv3708d ago

with that F on your face,,, no way

Angeljuice3708d ago

Maybe they could incorporate Mr Luckey's name and call it:

"FACE-PALMER"

That's fine. GT7 would overshadow it anyway at it has open wheel and regular cars.

Should have been spending their time updating Squadrons with better resolution, frame rate, haptics, etc as there isn't a game like that on PS VR 2 yet.

But it's EA. They don't think.

Babadook7373d ago

I agree. It would sell better on PSVR2 right now.

Knushwood Butt374d ago (Edited 374d ago )

A wasted opportunity, but I don't buy EA / Codemasters stuff anyway. Grid Legends just came out on Plus and I haven't touched it. Why would I when I have GT7 and PSVR2?

Abnor_Mal374d ago

Not into F1 racing, but still a missed opportunity.

ApocalypseShadow374d ago

That's where opportunity presents itself that they could offer something else that other developers haven't offered yet. Yeah. There's No Man's Sky. But a space game with a story would be great. Like the old days with Colony Wars.

Abnor_Mal374d ago

Exactly, they could have possibly lured more players just from the inclusion of a vr mode.

I miss Colony wars and G-Police, Low-Fi I hope will scratch that itch when it releases. We also need a vr War/Starhawk game.

Knushwood Butt373d ago

Just watched the trailer of Low-Fi. Most definitely on my radar.

Although I never owned an oculus, I played the demo for this at an electronics store. Pretty impressive in an early goings of VR title.
