  • Nebulous is an Upcoming Sci-fi Physics Puzzler for the Oculus Rift

    At GDC, some in attendance will get a chance to try out Nebulous, an upcoming sci-fi physics based puzzler using the Oculus Rift. The game is being developed by Namazu Studios and is targeting a second quarter release in 2015 for the PC. Sadly, the Oculus support and a PS4 version will not be released until later.

    Namazu's game puts players in the space boots of intrepid astronaut Commander Dash Johnson, as he explores the cosmos. Things quickly go awry when Commander Johnson is sucked into a wormhole filled with giant maze-like puzzles. Gamers are provided plenty of laughs as they listen to the hero's exclamations of pain and insults as the player discovers how to complete a stage.

    Nebulous is not a title players can rocket through. Gamers' wits will be tested as they must strategize to navigate puzzles filled with gravity changes and deadly traps.

    Stages begin with Commander Johnson suspended above a certain point in the level and obstacles between that starting point and the exit. To help the astronaut advance to the next puzzle, players can set gravity changing machines, platforms, half and quarter pipes, bouncy tentacle brains, conveyor belts and more. Once players believe they have everything in place to help Commander Johnson escape, they let him loose and see where gravity takes him.

    You can check out this game on Steam Greenlight and offer up your vote for it to be approved if it looks like something that's right up your alley.

      Oculus held their F8 event today during which they revealed two new and very different VR headsets. In comparison to the also just announced $1,000 Valve Index, these two Oculus headsets start at $400 (or $399 if you want to be specific), and that's the price for the full package on both of these.

      A major advantage with these two headsets, when compared to the Index, is the fact that they utilize inside-out tracking. That means they make use of headset mounted cameras and sensors...

      Unlike the Oculus Rift, the Oculus Quest does not need to connect to a PC to operate. There are no sensors to hang up either. Instead, the Quest utilizes a technology that they're calling Oculus Insight.

      Jury Awards Half a Billion Dollars to ZeniMax in Lawsuit Against Oculus
      by Shawn Zipay
      Earlier today in Dallas, a jury awarded half a billion dollars to ZeniMax after finding out that Oculus co-founder, Palmer Luckey, failed to adhere to a non-disclosure agreement he had signed. This amount includes $50 million that Luckey himself has to pay to ZeniMax plus another $150 million from the other Oculus co-founder, Brendan Iribe. The main point of this case came back as a bit of a win for Oculus. ZeniMax had claimed that that Oculus stole trade secrets from ZeniMax, which the jury di...
