Oculus Rift

The Vita version is really good.

Too bad it's still on the Vita.

Space Giraffe was too nuts for its own good. TXK is a nice balance and feels more like a game.

Consumer version now 1Q 2016

So sad seeing those TxK posts, lol.

Q1 2016 is close enough for me, and the photos of the consumer headset look nice. Hopefully I'll have something ready by then, and hopefully UE4 makes support for both headsets pretty straightforward (I'm betting it will).

I think we can thank HTC for this announcement.

I don't mind getting an extra month or two to save up for the Giant PC Upgrade Of 2̶0̶1̶5̶ 2016. Case, power supply, mobo, graphics card, RAM, and Rift is going to be a bit on the pricey side.

NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD 290 equivalent or greater
Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater
8GB+ RAM
Compatible HDMI 1.3 video output

Time to upgrade

[Diff-chan]

Do those requirements even matter? We all know this thing needs a lot of hardware and that will only go up as time goes on.

They are somewhat like publishing requirements for a monitor.

Low framerates and settings don't actually cause you to vomit on a monitor.
