GRID Autosport with the Oculus Rift

yep, i made the video. ^^

you can't play with oculus rift while wearing that helmet

yeah, the cockpit is way more impressive in the rift than it is in 2D. ^^

i already used it for several hours without getting sick. i only felt a little bit of motion sickness with some pretty bad demos. one for example had very bad controls. you are an eagle and fly over some mountains and stuff. and when you look left, you steer to the left. but there is an acceleration, so your view doesn't go left immediately, like you would expect. instead it slowly moves to the left. this is when i get sick within minutes. my brain expects to see what's there on the left, and that just doesn't happen. but this is really due to those strange controls. if a demo/game is made well, i don't get any motion sickness.

a friend of mine also bought one, but he gets sick after like half an hour. he already sold his rift because of that. so it's just very different from person to person.

very important is that you can get constant 75fps. so you'd rather lower the graphics settings than accepting a lower frame rate. this is important for the feeling of "presence" and the immersion.

and if you want my advise: wait for the next devkit (CrescentBay) or the consumer version. the DK2 has full-hd, which is way better than the old one, but it is still not enough. i enjoy the DK2, but i wouldn't recommend buying it, considering the next iterations will be so much better.

and yes, i tried several games. but honestly, the list of games with rift-support ist still very small. and many don't work or need some configuring (or work only correctly, if you use the rift as primary display, which is a pain in the ass^^). alien isolation has really great (yet unofficial) rift support. they even thought about what to do with the menu and the cutscenes. world of diving is also very nice.
