Also, the fact that you made your account today and have a single post (not to mention in a completely random forum) makes me think you're just a shameless throwaway trying to advertise that product. Sure VR is an interesting idea and I don't doubt that it's as good as they say, but perhaps you should spend time doing it yourself instead of advertising it and hoping others will pick up the ball for you.

no it doesn't NEED it but, it would be really really damn cool and even more scary.

i'be been watching developers od other games and emulators from what i understand it doesn't require a whole lot to implement it.

Dolphin emulator is already implementing it because apparently it works well for some Game Cube games. I also don't remember any one at OMW project saying Rift support would be very hard. both projects use open GL like Firctionals games.

The engine doesn't support it. It's not like a little plug in then it'll work, no, you have to recode the entire engine.

Quote:Kickstarter to implement Oculus Rift support in A Machine For Pigs

Hello loyal Frictional Games fans! A lot of people have been asking about Oculus Rift support and here's the answer we've arrived at: a lot of work will need to be done and only for the sake of the small number of people who currently own Oculus Rift devices. By the time our next game arrives it might be technically feasible and economically viable to include Oculus Rift support from the beginning (assuming Oculus becomes at least a little mainstream), but for now it's too time-consuming for us to do for the sake of a very small minority of customers.

We'd love to add Oculus Rift support to the game for free, but we've already met our development budget for AMFP and can't set aside additional time for adding such a major new feature without having money in the bank to pay our programmers. One of our brilliant, highly attractive forum members suggested we try doing a Kickstarter to add this feature, so here we are.

Even if this Kickstarter doesn't succeed, we will still evaluate adding Oculus Rift support to our next game and if we're successful we might be able to back-port our changes to previous games, but this will probably be years in the future.

$10 Your name added to "special thanks" in credits plus early access to the Oculus Rift-enabled beta version as it progresses (requires separate purchase of A Machine For Pigs)

$20 All of the above, plus A Machine For Pigs poster

$30 All of the above, plus A Machine For Pigs poster and T-Shirt

$50 All of the above, plus Steam or GoG codes for all the games in Frictional Games' back catalog (no Oculus Rift support)

$70 All of the above, plus numbered limited-edition Amnesia: The Dark Descent poster (300 available)

$85 All of the above, plus a deluxe signed boxed copy of A Machine For Pigs (150 available)

$100 All of the above, plus the AMFP poster gets signed by a member of the dev team (50 available)

Risks: Chairs are often expensive and needing to replace them after every session of A Machine For Pigs may prove to be a prohibitive expense for many of our customers. We plan to mitigate this risk by shipping all our backers from the $20 tier and up a package of "plastic seat covers" (actually just off-brand garbage bags) as a courtesy.

We also anticipate a large number of lawsuits as people suffer catastrophic heart attacks while playing the game. As such, we will be putting aside 50% of our Kickstarter revenue for lawsuit insurance as well as moving our corporation "officially" to a PO box in the Cayman Islands.
