If you don't know what they have planned yet, then you obviously have no idea how to read the news. They are spelling it out for you. It's literaly in BIG BLACK BOLD LETTERS of what they plan. And the plan is not good for any of the consumers.

Obvious that there is no way FB can make a profit off selling hardware.
They'd need to sell 20 Million Plus units at least... That's not gonna happen. They'll be lucky to sell 2 million. Do you honestly think considering that.... you think MZ is gonna to allow people to have this device completely free of ever having to deal with FB.. How is FB going to re-coup their investment?

Are you a gamer or not. Because if you can't put 2+2 together on this, you've obviously been playing games that don't challenge you?

The bottom line is this.

The developers have claimed all along that they want to keep Oculus free of large corporate control/interest. The backers, especially the kickstarter backers, believed in the guy's vision as a result of his passion for this. Many people backed the project for that reason - that it was going to be free from big corporate hands.

The developer then turned right around after receiving over $2 million in funding on kickstarter (after asking $250k), sold it for 2 billion to one of the companies with the worst reputations on the internet, and is now speaking only in vague, corporate-screened doublespeak nonsense and making promises he can't keep.

Bottom line - the internet trusted this guy, and they were betrayed.

That's all it takes to lose your supporters. Trust only gets one chance from a lot of people.

The Future of VR is going to be controlled by Facebook.
How does that make you feel?

This has nothing to do with Oculus anymore. This has everything to do with FB worming their way into this industry at all.


Facebook and Virtual reality.
Facebook pretty much is going to be defining the standards for VR. Facebook is going to be in control of this "Metaverse"

THIS IS NOT A KNEE-JERK REACTION.
This is the truth.....
Facebook is the worst possible corporation that you want being in control of this industry.


IF all the talk about building an Eco-system and shop... just for Oculus isn't enough of a hint, I don't know what is.

PC already has an Eco-system.
Why would a peripheral need it's own eco-system?
Because they want to make it like a cell phone.
Where you have to go through the 'Play Store' to aquire ♥♥♥♥.....
doubt me. I dare you. And I bet you, I will have the last laugh with a good old helping of "I TOLD YOU SO!"
My thoughts exactly...

And as for the Guy from Valve who just hopped ship to join them.

Screw you too.

Facebook has NO ability to deliver the content required by a Virtual Reality HMD, let alone sync it in real time between users (Have you seen their chat???). Most FB users don't have anywhere near the hardware required by a Virtual Reality HMD. It's that simple. This is just a pretty feather that the little man child bought for his hat, trying to keep his tech street-credit up, nothing more.

If Amazon bought Oculus, I could see the possibilty (any figures on the number of Amazon "users"?). They deliver lots and lots and lots of digital content (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Kindle, game downloads).

Sony has a chance at this, but it is going to burn their consoles alive! It is also going to require a lot of good faith on the part of their customers. Sony updates are "un-fun" from what I recall.

Then there is this little games and software company.... :gordon:

(I sure wouldn't mind watching Grandma try to set up her first game server on Facebook though!)

^Bingo..
I think your contribution to logic should be half of that supposed $2B investment, just for saving Oculus the embarresment of it all.

Unless.... they plan on making it like a cell phone and making a persons PC completely uneccesary in the equation of running the glasses.
Mr Eos 2014 年 3 月 28 日 下午 7:39 
I think maybe MZ is taking Back to the Future a little to seriously.
There is a scene in there where the phone rings and she looks into her Glasses to see who it was on the caller ID.

You're forgetting the inevitable ads. The first time I play a videogame with special VR glasses on and see "smilin' Bob" waving at me from an enzyte commercial in front of my eyeballs is the day I take a sledgehammer and smash my pc into tiny bits.

Sounds like Google Glasses. Eff that thing.

Oh god....I actually think I see his full vision.
And all I'm gonna say is this.
NO.
People are most certainly NOT READY for that.
People already get beat up and kicked out for Google Glass.

What they are ultimately coming up with, which you may have started to see already is the augmented reality.
With 2B at their disposal they would be stupid not to pursue that route.

Imagine this.
You're walking down the street.
You see someone wearing a pair of shades.

Now, From their perspective:
These glasses have all that you know of Oculus built in. They have now been slimmed down to an incospicuous pair of shade. But more, they are capable of superimposing images over the terrain. So just walking down the street you'll be able to see an advertisement on what would normally just be a plain brick wall.
If you look at someone on the street, it will recognize their face and automatically pull up their FB profile for you.

All they really want from Oculus is their advancements in motion detection and reducing the lag so when people are looking around, while walking around, the virtual banner on the brick wall you're walking past doesn't look out of place. Like it was meant to be there.. no slight jittery movement because of the inherent bouncyness of walking.




I still don't support Facebook being in control of all this.
You have no idea what kinda of trouble you bring with your ideas.

Okay, Peeps. I'm checking out here. I didn't realize Valve spent its time building hollow wooden horses with wheels, but I guess it does. Not sure how they are going to privatize the whole mess, but it sure would be great if they do.

In any case, this should take care of the female demographic--handily!

Godspeed, Gaben!

What on earth does any of this have to do with Valve?

I'm afriad you're still scaremongering.

Sure Facebook have a poor reputation, but it's still too early to tell, and there's no reason to distrust what has been claimed - that Facebook are funding this to get it mainstream, and will have no connection or integration to it.

It's just too early to make assumptions like you are doing - lesser informed people on here have a habit of picking up nonsense and running with it as fact, so scaremongering does not help.

It could go either way - they could be stating it exactly as it will be, or they could be taken us for a ride. Time will tell, but to make up nonsense is ridiculous and helps no one.
