Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition arriving on Oculus Rift and Gear VR
Speaking of which, among the various other interesting tidbits to come out of the Connect conference, a new, retail-ready model of the Gear was unveiled.
“They announce it, one week later you can pre-order it, the next week it ships”.
While the latest prototype is incredibly comfortable, nearly to the point of disappearing into the back of your mind when you’re tossing about balls or shooting off fireworks in Oculus’ Toybox demo, Oculus says the device itself is the result of over 300 prototypes.
What I think about all day long is user experience, right?
It’s only a matter of time, but virtual reality gaming is happening, and most players can not wait to experience videogames in an entirely new way.
An Oculus edition of the game was planned for the game past year but was canceled when Facebook acquired Oculus. Judging by the comment above, it seems that scale has tipped slightly in the more expensive direction, with Mitchell somewhat confirming that the Rift will cost no less than $300.
Of course, there’s a lot of tech that comes with that.
Virtual reality is poised to become the next big thing in video games, but as with all hardware, it would need to be paired with great software to be able to attract consumers. Mojang made the announcement during a media briefing last night.
These PCs will start at $1000 but be ready for VR – which requires no less than an Nvidia GTX 970, Intel Core i5-4590 and 8GB of RAM to run.
There has been no release date confirmed, but it’s likely that “Bullet Train” will be launched sometime in 2016 when Oculus Rift will become available to the public.
