Oculus Rift Support

[Adrianis]

Spoiler below!

From what I have seen (I have not tried it) oculus seems awesome. I definately think that it would be fitting for Amnesia.

I do not think we will see oculus support for "A machine for pigs" officially/unofficially. It's possible that it will be included in HPL3 - the next engine frictional games are working on. I believe frictional games are looking forward, spending their energy on creating their next engine. I do not believe they want to go back into something they are "stepping away from" to add support for oculus rift. Is there an economic profit to be made from that?

Unofficially creating support for it wouldn't work well, as the "oculus view" would be working in coordination with the mouse movement; you are forced to look in the direction of interaction (running, spinning a valve etc). To get the maximum enjoyability you need the "player view" to be a "separate camera" tied to the occulus rift - ergo you have the possibility to look over your shoulder as you run away.

Given the popularity of the game, it would be a marketing investment to be known as the first company which virtually(VR reference) scared the crap out of us.

I think it should be at least evaluated. It really isn't that difficult, considering they know the engine entirely and should have the ability to manipulate the rendering process to achieve it. Unless, the engine was developed without structure and with inefficient fixes. Maybe even by trying to include support for the Rift in HPL2, they can detect rendering flaws which could potentially be fixed during the HPL3 development cycle; which will later permit development for the Rift and other VR solutions.

Ability to manipulate rendering process != not difficult to implement
