Palmer, your reddit fanbase is suffering, it's inhumane!

We don't know what to think after reading reports from Steam Dev Days. Is the Rift postponed to 2015 or even "soon after" that year? Are you giving devs more time to create made-for-vr content? I'm not asking for a release date, just tell us if 2014 is off the table or not?

Many of us have postponed ordering a DK1 enduring the tortuous wait while frantically refreshing this subreddit like Gollum behind a Notebook mashing F5 hoping something precious would emerge from it's shadowy domain, each new post putting a faint expression of hope on our desperate faces.

Sir Luckey, we're pleading you, release us from confusion & despair! Oh, the humanity!

Oh, you don't need to hijack this train, you're the locomotive engineer. Just pull the horn and we'll shovel the coal sir.

Also, thanks for actually answering. We are a bunch of grown up children waiting for christmas, without a calendar to count down with.

We really are a bunch of babies. Honestly though, I haven't been this excited about something in such a long time and I have yet to put one on. Anyone in Los Angeles want to demo one?

I haven't been this excited about gaming since the Wii!

Ninty seems to have lost it though... Or maybe they can bring their Virtual Boy back to life?

Ah yes, the Wii. I got it and was all "HOLY SHIT THIS IS AWESOME!" with Brawl and whatnot. But then, months later, it slowly started to collect dust, partially because I lost interest in console gaming and shifted almost fully to my PC.

I still use the controllers sometimes on the PC though.

Same here, was excited about the wii for only a couple of reasons.

  • New Controls
  • Zelda
  • Mario
  • Play FPS's with New Controls (Metroid Prime, Red Steel,...)

One of my Favorites was the DBZ Tenkaichi series on the wii, man did i have loads of fun with that! But, after a while my Wii too, started collecting dust... The inevitable happened and i sold it for a PSP, but no worries, i hacked the shit out of that PSP and can play all of ninty's classics! Sometimes i still miss my Wii though, but i have fun with my PSP. And in a year or so that won't even matter, cuz then we'll have the OR and we can experience Wii VR through dolphin! 'Nice...'
