Wouldn't this be the first head-scratching purchase from facebook that would make people wonder? The whatsapp thing seems very similar to previous purchases. Even if Facebook wanted to integrate VR into their social media empire I don't see the upside to buying the Rift at this point. I'd...

The idea of spirits inhabiting and empowering future generations is one of the memes in Japanese fiction, but also it's a central point to the Konoha ideology. This is just an extension of that and doesn't mean a literal reincarnation. Either way this is just a plot device for Naruto to get a...

It's dumb but they're hacking together a system that maximizes the number of concurrent players while minimizing the problems that exist. Cutting features makes that easier, so it's not a surprise they're not attempting to integrate their bandaid into the queueing system. They probably hope they...

I'd argue that D3 has done a megaserver before. It's a lot different since TESO supports hundreds of concurrent and connected users, but D3 also has more users.

There was a PS4 centric thread. Nobody used it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they made a bid. 2 billion is a ton of money though, especially since their primary technology is outsourced and their software algorithms are replicatable.

Meh, there's 60k dev kits out there, most of which are probably collecting dust. And the cost of rendering an image at 720 and upscaling it to 1080 isn't high.

Ah I thought you were busy till May?

Hehe Notch doesn't have a choice in whether Minecraft will support the Rift

Luckey is spamming reddit with the same cheery bullshit, which is probably a good sign. If this was a, "Fuck yeah time to sell out and do something else" he'd be MIA.

breaking news: maybe it's not so bad...

Yeah it's still the next best hope. And even if the worst possible scenario happens with facebook, the effort they've put into VR has started a movement they can't stop. It's just a question of how smoothly and quickly will the next 5 or so years of VR go.

No, I'm saying if someone creates this: I was hoping that games compatible with the oculus could easily be made to be compatible for that. That way users wouldn't get fucked by weird game compatibility problems, and developers wouldn't have super limited libraries for their games. But...

Won't be better than this!

There's more discussion in the oculus thread, but as a VR enthusiast this is definitely bad news. There's a chance it works out in the end, but it's not likely. My hope for Oculus was that they would not only create the world's first usable VR HMD, but also they would pave the way for an open...

Haha I think if we run into goon squad in our campaign I'll probably ask people to stop and give them a hug, they're going through a tough time right now with their disastrous moderation and policies.

He probably offered 2mill to buy Oculus. Here's his response on reddit:

You're such an arctic silver shill!

Seems like almost all its acquisitions are some cool social media technology they wanted to integrate with facebook or put out of the market. Obviously VR is very different from that. It's funny seeing people talking shit about Luckey's business sense. I wonder how much of the 2billion he gets.

Does facebook own any other tech companies that aren't infested by facebook?

If they waited a week for April 1st to announce this nobody would believe them.

wtf. I didn't even know facebook was buying companies like this. Making a VR driven social MMO integrated with facebook would be... weird. from luckey

I don't know about you guys, but my computer runs much faster when I turn the AC on.

No, you were right about what reasons they were giving for limiting the API. You take Paul Sage at his word, most of us blame him for torpedoing a massively budgeted game built on a loved franchise.

That's what my wife does apparently.

Did he just release that? Haha I can't believe he's stirring the pot more. That article basically says, "Hi, all the revolting you've done and all the canceled preorders are in vain. We're not changing shit!"

He needs to lift more, he's small compared to how he was in Pain & Gain!

Bosmer isn't an option.

I actually haven't chosen my class yet. I might do stealth for the first time in my MMO life.

FYI: If you're planning on joining us for TESO please get it done this week. Once release hits our integration process will slow waay down because we'll be ingame most of the time, and it'll be annoying to get set up with us.

I hate those mechanics in game. Being able to downlevel should be a mandatory feature.

Would you have preferred the combat was just a dice roll to determine the result? I'd rather it had been real time combat similar to double dragon, but I could see how that'd result in fewer laughs.

Haha no. I'll probably play it on Tuesday evening when it's unsuable again. I just think that it'll take a couple days for ZOS to unfuck whatever problem they have they don't know about yet.

I'm expecting it to be unusable until 5am EST on Tuesday.

As long as I don't have to spend 5 minutes to dock with a station I don't really care. My preference would be to fly within a km of it and have full interaction.

The QTEs are the only thing that made the combat enjoyable. I wasn't going to play this until I found out the turn based combat has some level of gameplay in it. Of course in the end I got a swat helmet (can move again if you kill everything) and enough gear to one shot almost every mob in the...

In addition to what Vitality/Utnayan said, look at how Mass Effect ended up. You had the lead designer/lead writer being constrained by their peers for the entirety of the project, but in the last game they went off into a locked room and circle jerked eachother until you had the awful ending...
