It's a good time to be a Rift owner, alright. B)
I need to send this video to everyone I haven't been able to convince to get into VR, and see how jealous they get.
P.S. Is there some reason this (and Asgard's Wrath) need the Rift-S, or is it like "You can play it on a CV1 too, but you'll miss out somewhat on how pretty this looks"?

The trailer seems to be pretty much all shooter. Is there much exploration? Are there any puzzles? I'd like to try "flying in the slipstream". Guess I'll have to try it with the 2 hour limit in mind. I come from the nuthin beats lone echo school

I'm just the opposite. I want to shoot stuff. I want my heart to race. I want to be frustrated by the challenge and then feel the exhilaration of finally, finally overcoming the challenge.
Puzzle games are cheap and easy to make so we have an overabundance of them in VR.

You prefer the monotonous task of shooters where there is no real skill or talent involved. Shooters are "twitch" based as the primary skillset. Shooters come a dime a dozen. Puzzle/Adventure games require actual thought. You may want your heart to race, but not from a challenge, but from the same old repetitious race to see who can line up the crosshairs quicker. Boring.

Dude, I know you have a point to make, but that's just super oversimplifying what a good, puzzle free shooter is.
And saying that there is no skill or talent involved is just flat out wrong

And saying that there is no skill or talent involved is just flat out wrongDisagree. I was a top Ranker on MoonGamers.com back during the BF 1942 days, Wagoogies server. Here's a reddit thread that talks about it:And I used to enter local Halo tournaments regularly (Halo 1 days). I know exactly what it takes to become a top competitor in Shooters, and it's 100% pure twitch based training. It's a big part of why I eventually stopped. You have to keep playing all the damn time to keep your twitch reflexes in tip-top shape, and it's on a "per game" basis.I'll take a "thinking" game any day over twitch. It's not just puzzlers either that require thinking. RTS games as well.But anyway, if you think I'm wrong then feel free to offer a counter-point. So far you haven't said anything to refute my stance. "nuh uh" isn't an argument lol

Talk about mission impossible. I'm not even gonna try - I've said my bit, and I'll leave it at that :lol:
