I have a question. I've never really played any kind of space game, barring the BBS game Trade Wars in the late 80's/early 90's, which doesn't really count. For some reason I got super excited about this game. I pledged a bunch of money and now I wait. Me, being a huge nerd and kind of going over the top, started thinking about building some big ass arcade cabinet style enclosure, with a pilot chair, force feedback, and all the bells and whistles. Started dreaming up little dreams in my head and planning out how this would work.
However, with the oculus rift coming out.. I sort of think that's the way to go. So, my new plan became "Get a chair and all the controls to make this the nerdiest virtual reality-ist experience ever! So I start looking around at WHAT to buy, and to what do I discover? It seems most people say the flight sticks, foot pedals, etc are all pretty detrimental, and what do they recommend? Keyboard and mouse.
So, what do people with a history of these types of games think? I mean, I assume everyone's going to be on the oculus rift train, but as far as controls go, do you guys agree? I suppose its great for my wallet if thats the case, I was just really excited to pretend to be in space. ^_^
