Hello folks, ahead of the GDC reveals and Oculus news I thought it would be nice to have one space where we can discuss the news rather than a million threads. What are you hoping for? What are you most excited about?

Keep an eye out on Oculus twitter and the official blog, will try and update here also:

GDC starts this week at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, and we. are. pumped. Game devs and gamers alike will get hands-on with Oculus Quest, we’ll share some brand-new Rift demos, and we may just have an announcement or two up our sleeves...

Holy cow, nice find!

It looks like the "360" tracking people were so worried about is not going to be an issue!

Fiat Coupe, gone. 350Z gone. Dirty nappies, no sleep & practical transport incoming. Thank goodness for VR 🙂

If they're confident enough in the Quest's tracking quality to make Beat Saber a launch title, that should reassure anyone who was skeptical about that sort of thing.

Especially considering the Vive struggled with Beat Saber.  (granted that was because of a software issue, but it still gave me a chuckle)
It's hard being the voice of reason when you're surrounded by unreasonable people.

John Carmack himself was tweaking the algorithm. He wanted  beat sabre to play BETTER
