Battlefield Division BF5 & the Oculus Rift

[1010101Binary]

Hey Guys! I was just reading a review of the Oculus Rift (http://www.pcgamer.com/oculus-rift-review/) on PCGamer and have heard some pretty phenomenal things about this device. I haven' t yet been able to try it out for myself, but i'm very into the whole immersive gaming experience. Personally I play BF4 on three monitors which gives me almost a 180 degree view of wherever my gun is pointed, that in and of itself is extremely immersive (5760 x 1080 resolution). This little device may actually surpass my three monitors!

Just wanted to throw around some ideas about this device. I believe it's going to take off like a rocket, and really sell huge volumes. The device still has yet to be somewhat integrated into FPS shooters. It would be nice to look in one direction and have your gun pointed in another.

Has anyone heard about possible integration of a device like this into any FPS shooters? The Battlefield franchise has been an amazingly profitable portion of EA's gaming library, so I would expect them to be on the bandwagon for this type of device, as it would bring in new players and more sales. What do you guys think? Expectations? Has anyone actually tried it, what were your feelings?

All the best,
Binary

I have not not tried VR yet, but if I were to get it I would get it for adventure types games such as skyrim. I'm play FPS for competitive aspect not for immersion. For me the amount of effort it takes me to 360 for my soldier is just the flick of my wrist while if I want to translate that to VR it going either take me moving hands around or my entire head. Therefore, its a no go for me at least FPS games.

VorpX is already available and does support BF4 BFH and also BF3. I am not sure how exactly it works or how well it works.

I was able to pre-order within the first hour of the release so I would expect mine this month or the next at the latest. I will post any info when I get mine, but I think it would be very cool for this game especially for the vehicles.
