Oculus Quest, a VR headset that doesn’t require a PC to perform, has been introduced for a Spring 2019 launch. The standalone headset will value $399, and options completely wi-fi management with no exterior sensors required. All the rendering is handled on the headset itself, probably marking Oculus’ departure from the PC house in the...

This week, Robot Invader launched the sequel to Dead Secret, which was one of many first VR horror-mystery titles I ever bought to expertise. I loved that recreation’s puzzles and normal otherworldy vibe — to not point out its Kansas based mostly setting. (That’s the place I’m from. There’s plenty of murders there. It felt...

I maintain telling you: if you wish to jam with the console cowboys in our on-line world, you’ve gotta roll your individual goggs. These megacorp-supplied cybergoggles are managed by The Man, the very shadowy organisations try to be jacking in to undermine. The vulnerability of megacorp {hardware} was revealed as we speak when technomancers throughout...

Nvidia’s VRWorks SDK Since we started with AMD, when we talk about Nvidia’s VRWorks, a lot of this is going to be a rehash. Rather than starting with the big differentiating factor, we’re going to quickly cover the similarities first. There’s not a 1-to-1 mapping between LiquidVR and VRWorks, but at a high level there...

It’s pretty clear that Oculus wanted the Rift to be a user friendly device. From the moment you open the box everything is neatly laid out in front of you, ready to guide you into the future of PC gaming without scaring you away with the coils of wires and plugs that lay beneath. With...

This is PC Gamer’s first review of a VR-exclusive game, but it’s not a review of the Oculus Rift itself—that will come later this week—so it assumes some familiarity and comfort with the hardware. As we...

We originally wrote a guide to preparing for VR last year, but with the Rift finally here, we’ve updated it with new information based on our time with both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. If you’ve ordered an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, your own personal headset may be rolling off a factory assembly...

Tim: I’ve seen a lot less of Lucky’s Tale over the game’s gestation than Wes has, so I was something close to dumbstruck by how polished it actually is. With a lot of VR stuff you expect compromises and rough edges, but this Technicolor platformer starring a cartoon fox is slick, responsive, and crucially, really good...

Oculus founder Palmer Luckey traveled to Anchorage, Alaska this weekend to personally deliver the very first consumer Oculus Rift to its very first pre-orderer, Ross Martin. Wearing his signature shorts and sandals (perfect for March in Alaska), Luckey handed over the signed headset while livestreaming the occasion on Facebook (where else?). Martin is a software developer for Axiom Data Science and has been following...
