Glad I don't waste money on kickstarters... the creator said he would not sell out to a major company, what a load of bull....kickstarter is looking worse and worse now. |

Kickstarter is not this hero everyone is making it out to be. Studios and companies are using it so they have no risk in business. That's not how business is done. You gather a debt for a product professional people will invest in. If you think the movies being made are terrible, look at the ones being pitched like this game and being rejected like this game. They're beyond dreadful. So without any debt there is no loss. They will only be making a profit, even if that profit is less than the amount donated. People are purchasing an idea, not a product. An idea that has no legal restrictions. It can take years, it can never be finished after "release", it can be an utter disappointment and it's encouraging bad ideas to skip the hassle of getting professional approval and feeding off of the gullible ignorant. This is a post I posted about some other thing on kickstarter. It's quite basic, but kickstarter is too flawed and everyone just ignores those flaws until something like this happens. |

What's so special about oculus rift? If I'm still stuck at a pc I might as well use it... I'm more looking for google glass. |

Google glasses and whatever MS is working on are augmented stuff...think of Halo where you could see your health and ammo and basic hud stuff. or NFF your chakra swirl / health stamina. VR is putting two screens in your eye... to make it simpler, you can see through augmented glasses, while you can only see what's on screen in VR VR feels would make you feel like you are actually in the game, while augmented glasses would I enhance it.

To be fair, the Power Glove was garbage as well, but the motion control market was revived. So perhaps VR will be the next thing. |

I get you were trying to be funny, but you just ended up being redundant. People did enjoy it and technology obviously improves over time. |

The post that was posted as I posted mine. The one right above mine? That's the one? Can you note that it was noted by me already and you're making another redundant post? |
