Oculus Rift Kickstarter Announced
Fans of virtual reality gaming may be interested in a new headset project call Rift. The developer behind it, Oculus, is seeking funding through Kickstarter.
The new headset is developed specifically for video games and will "change the way you think about gaming forever." The team is seeking a pledge goal of $250,000 and has already received support from the likes of Gabe Newell from Valve, John Carmark of id Software, and Cliff Bleszinski of Epic Games.
"All of us at Oculus are excited to bring truly immersive VR to people who love video games like we do,” Oculus founder Palmer Luckey says. “Virtual reality has been the long sought after Holy Grail, which most people only ever dreamed of... until now.
The Rift is a true game changer that will help make VR the standard for gameplay in the very near future.”
Head over to the team's Kickstarter page for more details.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
