Oculust Rift + Total War. Good idea or Total Puke?

[Sk3lus]

Most hype about the Oculus Rift VR display is centered on "cockpit games" and first person shooters. I, for one, would love to fly over my dominion in strategic view, and plunge in battle in full immersive 3D.
Thoughts?

good idea....but it will never be done.

I don't know...the more I think about it,,,
I mean, on the strategy map, no issue there. Of course the menus would have to be twiked a bit so as not to be out of the field of view, but it would give the general impression of hovering a few meters above a very pretty 3d map.
On the tactical (battle) view, it would give a nice sense of where your troop are positioned from up high, and a superb immersive feeling of chaotic battle from up-close. Picture watching replays of your most epic battles this way.
If its not officially supported, I bet you anything that a mod will more or less elegantly support it within a month of release.

That would put TW in the realms of an FPS. I dont want to see that.

Are you on crack? Do you know what FPS means?

There is really no point. And it would be faster to just use your monitor. I wouldn't see how the oculus would benefit this game. :/ or any rts, as a matter of fact.

Stick your face 1 cm away from your screen

Total Puke. I'd get dizzy trying to look around at whats going on around me.

Good idea; to be able to look over your troops as you have laid them out in the field in a more natural way way can only be for the better. It's clearly the future.
