News says Oculus now 2015-2016?
Is this actually official?
http://betanews.com/2014/05/02/oculus-rift-launch-date-officially-confirmed-for-2015/
I'd love to know a general range of ship date for company strategy project planning reasons. (Its hard to make a game with no clue of when a ship date will be.) I'm really excited if they pushed it off six months with the late shipping of the DK2s :)
Thanks!

- LaneHonored GuestActually, thats just poor journalism.
There is not an official date or release window. - hoestereyProtegeThought it might be. Saw about 20 sights pick up the same article. Usually the sign of half-baked journalism.
- diablosv21Honored GuestIt may not be particularly accurate, but the article still makes sense. More time is needed for developers to create great titles to launch with and on top of that the extra funding Oculus has now is allowing them to create a far greater CV1 headset, which also means longer lead times in to manufacturing.
If you are expecting CV1 this year, you are going to be disappointed. - hoestereyProtegeHope your right. I'm super worried about getting my game done by end of year and would love some extra time!
- SharpfishHeroic Explorerthe CV1 has 2015 written all over it. Can't see how/why they would launch this year without any KILLER apps even announced yet. 2015 is 'perfect', both for matured tech and software. A year with DK2 would be ideal for all developers, and an extra six months working on CV1 with the facebucks can only be a good thing in the long run. 8-)
- TgaudHonored GuestWell, even if all the game are not ready... whats the problem ?
the last of us, went out 8 years after the PS3 release, and it was the best game ever.
Should the PS3 have waited "the last of us" to finish , in order to release ?
What I think is that for all the studio of dev, that have planned their release date already with investors, and are counting on the CV1, there will be big problems, in the CV1 is not out yet. and it can be dangerous for all thoses studio, if they don't have a money income in time.
