GrixM, Arvuti, and J.R.S Storch, I'm also really excited about the Rift. What's amazing to me is the reception of some people that this is some overhyped crap that will fail without giving it a chance and understanding it fully. Everyone I know who has been critical of it seems to be misunderstanding it. They seem to think that it is a device that will allow you to look at a small screen some distance away or that it is just another 3d-glass. They don't seem to recognize the fact that the large FOV makes you feel like you are there inside the game. For people not in the know, the Rift has a 90 degree FOV from the center of the eye. That means all you see is the game world.
Imagine walking (or rather, running) around the castle in Amnesia.
