Oculus Rift beats Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in Game Critics E3 award

@i-rock-socks well, the dev kit version is released. Not the 1080p fleshed out consumer version. probably wont be till late fall, early winter.

@i-rock-socks its released you can buy one already

@i-rock-socks It is released.

@shaolinwind atm I'm not really looking forward to titanfall cause as you said, "Titanfall is just another shooter with mechs" and even though that sounds a little cool I don't want to get another shooter that adds one simple thing and calls it revolutionary, like Halo, CoD, etc. If it turns out that it is really everything they say it is then I'll get it for pc but it will most likely be just like every other shooter that we have already.

@genjuroT screen tech back then was completely different. the UV content your eyes were exposed to was like 300% harsher when close up than the LED tech they use in the small screens today. It will be nothing like that, though there are a lot of people that don't feel well when exposed to too much stereoscopic 3D content. That has more to do with motion sickness proneness than anything permanent though.

Eye problems probably won't be any worse than staring at your computer screen at work for 8 hours a day ;)

@hadlee73 I was thinking the same about The Last of Us. And they sure didn't disappoint. I'm betting Titanfall is on a whole new level with the FPS realm.

TBH, the hardware awards always confuse me a bit, since there's usually not too much to speak of hardware wise most years. However, this year, the fact the Oculus won over the big boy consoles... That is very telling. This was a huge year at E3.

@Metronoid what is this? Link please?

@MatrixGamer78 I think Transistor is a PS4 title.

@tightwad34 In this case, the unknown is the price tag >.>

@Jay3K Well, if you look at last years awards (All going to The Last of Us) and play the game - you will see: They were right.

I have pretty high hopes for Titanfall now. It's pretty much decimating all of the competition, just like Last of Us did.

Oculus will probably be a new uprising in entertainment altogether. The experiences occurring there will be unavailable anywhere else. Major developers are jumping on board. Unreal Engine 4 is even fully supported natively.

Not only will this be used for games, but a new genre of Movies, story telling, socializing, seriously imagine the capabilities once someone creates the self image avatar system with something like the Kinect2, that basically makes a digital version of yourself but with unlimited potential, superpowers, unlimited funds in a virtual worlds created by themselves. Its a simple step away from the world in Caprica if you ever saw that. If not you should check it out.

@Jay3K watch this video and see it for self why Oculus rift is better that nxt gen console http://www.businessinsider.com/oculus-rift-video-demo-2013-7

@Jay3K Because even the theory of this device is better than anything the PS4 or XBone have to offer. The fact that it is more than theory and was actually shown is even better.

@thedirtyleg While we can debate which is better, i will say that the division was a strong follow up or even a strong 1st in many categories. yet no mention in this article.

The division seemed to offer more new gaming mechanics.

@Skhuff Its what weve all been waiting for, but I think we should temper the awards we give it until 1. We can use it without vomiting. 2. They actually have at least some sort of Idea what YEAR we will see it.

@Guy_Brohski You could have said the same thing about The Last of Us last year, but you would also have been wrong.

@Guy_Brohski Haters will hate.

@Guy_Brohski Exactly, and how come it won the award for Best Original Game? I can hardly see any point why I should love this game even though it has a lot of hype.

@Guy_Brohski It really doesn't. The more details I see; the more I don't like. Jetpacks are cool, but that's about it. I was thinking about it for pc, but without single-player, eh, watch dogs looks better.
