Oculus Rift Support?

I recall that this game was getting Rift support, but I don't see any direct mention of it. Is this still a future to-do? If it's available now, I'll be snagging this...

Yep, it's in the works! Not quite ready for prime-time, but it'll be ready in time for the retail Oculus launch.

No plans for a beta then for us folks with a dev kit? The RPS article hyped me up a bit :).

We may do a beta! We've just been super busy getting the Steam version ready, and haven't had time to work out some of the bugs in the UI.

I hope you guys get an Oculus beta up, it's pretty much why I got the game.

Us rifters are used to nearly unusable UI's and beta implementations... just saying :)

I can't wait for that. I can say nvidia 3d vision is working though. Mostly. Just a few shadow issues. Makes the game a lot easier though. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. lol

If you browse the local files you can find a file labeled Oculus Plug-In in the Plug-ins folder. Probably supported or will be when it's launched.

Beta please. I read a review of the Rift version. Recalling the review, I would say that a beta is already available internally. Please make it happen.

Yeah the game techincally works with the Oculus, but many of the menus are fairly broken. We'll release a beta once we've got all the kinks worked out!

I've tried the Oculus Rift in the past, and I was not that impressed. But I do think that on THIS game it could work very well.

There is a psychological phenomenon with VR in general. There are people who know most reactions of people are of aww and shock. So when certain people try it after knowing this, they do everything they can to mentally go the opposite way. And it only shows negatively on the person. As if they have to be so cool they are not effected by what so many others love or can't believe.
Hopefully your impression wasn't from that.
