Just what the title says- Seeing the concept behind the game and how Hilmar seems to love the Rift, I wouldn't be surprised if it were able to be used in the game (if it ever comes out).

It could work with just about anything. It's just a LCD strapped onto your face with some motion sensing equipment. WoD will probably be 3rd person so I don't see how Oculus would help with immersion. Oculus seems best suited for FPS and various "Sim" type games.

The Arma series of games allows you to move your head independently of your mouse movements and would work great with Oculus. I've been doing this with TrackIR for years and it's amazing, although you have do have to use normal monitors. If more devs create games with a separate head movement axis I can see Oculus really taking off.

Ah, I had just imagined an alternate camera angle from the first person- I imagined how it would be to jump around rooftops with hat kind of view Big smile

I kind of laughed at the title of the thread. TBH this is the absolute last thing I want CCP to even think about at this point in time as it has to WoD.

Vampires... IN SPACE! (that would be pretty funny). All joking aside, i think they need to first get EVE where they want it and get Dust settled (no pun intended) before they can even think about finishing and really working on World of Darkness. They need to make it as popular as EVE Online, which is a hard task indeed, if they can keep having credit as a gaming company imo.
