The Oculus Rift Will be in Retail Stores Come April

To tackle this problem, Oculus plans to have the Rift in retail spaces for people to have a place to try the high-end VR headset for the first time. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey confirmed plans for a Rift retail presence last year, and now the company says that we’ll first see it appear starting in April.

Would be great to try it out in stores but we're all going to look like a bunch of crazies with this thing on our head in the middle of a crowded store lol.

Maybe a little, but people will get used to seeing others in VR pretty quickly.

Anyway, it's great that they'll have it in retail stores so that people can try it out and actually realize how great VR can be.

I can't wait until mine arrives.

It's good that there will be demos of it in stores for people to try.

But people need to stop worrying about what others think about them when doing something they like. If you care about how others perceive you, then there is something wrong. Especially when you bring something like this home. Who's going to be watching you in your own house? Who cares. It's your house right?...right?

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.

Babadook7397d ago

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

Knushwood Butt397d ago (Edited 397d 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_Mal397d ago

Not into F1 racing, but still a missed opportunity.

ApocalypseShadow397d 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_Mal397d 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 Butt397d 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.
