Will young Jedi iribe be able to beat back the sith lords once again?(PS for those that don't know iribe and gaikai took on Perlman and onlive a few years back)

I'm putting this in off-topic, since I don't want to get in anybodies way, and I know its mostly due to my own supidity and lack of presence. I've been avoiding Rift news for a few months while I saved up to get one. I may not be a developer, but I'm a gamer who likes to test things to try to help out that way. I ordered mine and expected to see it in a month or two, but from what I've seen in the forums, shipping is no longer a big issue? I even saw "Shipping takes 3-5 business days" on the order screen. So my question is, has the current state of shipping improved or the sales died down enough that shipping only takes a few weeks?UK order, by the way.Thanks for taking the time to read!-KaruEDITSince a lot of us have shared the experience of waiting for our Rifts to arrive, how about sharing our first impressions as well?"HAWKEYE481" wrote:I reckon us lot should start another thread after they've all been delivered for our first time rift experience's, what do you think? :?:Once your

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-03-04-valve-is-pushing-price-of-pc-games-to-free-lovellseveral ways to look at this, Valve and open source are going drive a finishing nail into the coffin of the "for profit" model of an already obliterating industry,,,, (read the comments at the article, lots of big developer brains see the writing on the wall - I only played KOTOR because it was free, it got my eyeballs, they could have done some in game advertising maybe (like a pepsi machine on the edge of the cantina) and I would have accepted that, but not paid to play.Mankind is entering a truly golden age where billions of younglings will have more entertainment than they could ever consume, for free forever!Developers will code new content just to do it, because the expectations of big money or status maybe become silly...What if Steam wants the PC market to go to free because it will be a powerful competitive weapon as it battles the console manufacturers? Then I would expect [Valv

I'm using AT&T U-verse (commonly known to have issues) but here's what I'm not understanding.My DL speed is 12mbps and my UPLOAD speed is 0.75 Common issues with my modem are sometimes the connection likes to drop down to (5mbps download speed) but today it decided to jump up to 30-40mbps (I only noticed this because I was re-installing the Elder Scrolls Online BETA launcher) After it jumped up to 40mbps the game downloaded within about 10 minutes (which was crazy fast) but can anyone please explain how my internet just got a sudden jump boost? I would love to have a 40mbps download speed.

Carmack delivers again, reading his twitter feed, he linked to this guy http://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2014/01/game-133-dark-designs-i-grelminars.html talking about his first RPG game (see there is hope for all you developers eating catsup packets as your only meal)Anyways, what a find, that blogger has done a heroic effort on all those old CRPGS! I have blown 30 hours reminiscing on nostalgia. Can anyone recommend other similar works/blogs/youtube channels? It seems whatever neurons activated when I was a kid playing all these old CRPGS, reactivate watching old youtube let's plays of these old games, or reading reviews about them. I didn't have the 30 hours to spare but couldn't pull myself away, damn you CARMACK!What does Spock say? (whats da fox say?)

Or early next year.So what do I need to do to start getting into college?

I apologize if this thread is in the wrong area but ive waited so long to finally receive this beautiful Dev Kits and cannot for the life of Christ figure out why my VR Cinema 3D demo cannot play movies on the big screen and go's to a white screen after the quick demo intro loads. I deleted the original movie file that was there, replaced it with harry potter; i renamed that harry potter movie "movie.avi" and still white screening on me..... Some one please help me, i want to experience a 3d movie actually playing on this screen!!

So I'm building this GDD so I don't go too far off-the-grid in this "Made for the Rift" game that I'm "attempting" to create, and came across an interesting read dealing with the identification of the target audience.http://www.cms.livjm.ac.uk/library/Archive/GDTW2004-Publications/ChrisBateman-Designing%20for%20Different%20Play%20Styles.v1.3.pdf

http://www.technologyreview.com/news/524626/augmented-reality-gets-to-work/Started At Boeing, just adds to my shock how few I talked too there ever heard of Oculus or Palmer.The defense contractor Raytheon and the electronics maker Mitsubishi Electric, among other large companies, have been trying augmented reality in the workplace and out in the field. “Some companies are thinking, ‘Look, this is interesting enough, we’ll take some bets on it, we believe there’s a good chance. At least we want to have a first mover’s advantage compared to our competitors,’” says Soulaiman Itani, founder and CEO of Atheer Labs, which is making 3-D virtual reality software and glasses. The Mountain View, California-based company is working on some small pilot tests with companies—he won’t say which ones—to try augmented reality in hospitals, on construction sites, and in factories.http://www.atheerlabs.com/http://daqri.com/Andy Lowery, a Daqri cofounder who is no longer involved in the company’s daily o

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-02-21-tim-schafer-how-to-stay-afloat-in-a-pool-of-internet-twitter-hateOne way Double Fine tried to keep backers happy was by making sure they were well-informed on the team's progress with exclusive ongoing updates and documentary videos tracking the game's development. While that may have worked for backers, there was a downside made clear after Schafer announced the decision to split Broken Age into two parts because the original Kickstarter funding wasn't sufficient to see the game to completion.That was really a lesson for us, learning that even though our backers are really well informed, the rest of the world hadn't really heard of us since the Kickstarter happened," (I was in shock at boeing last weekend how FEW had heard of the Rift or Palmer, much less tried one) Schafer said. "It's weird because the Kickstarter experience had been wading in a sea of love from the fans. Because you don't just get money. You get all this positive sup

What talks are people here going to attend, I was thinking bout dis 1http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/210587/QA_Wrestling_with_the_unsolvable_problem_of_internet_toxicity.phpI never even heard of this guy or this blowup, but I think I will attend his talk at GDC.Adam Orth is a man who knows a thing or two about dealing with toxic behavior on the internet.Orth resigned from his post as creative director at Microsoft last April, shortly after publishing a series of Xbox-related remarks on Twitter that incited large swathes of the game-playing internet to pepper Orth with derogatory messages, angry phone calls and death threats."It was a feeding frenzy. Everything I'd ever done, good or bad, my public and private life, was now fair game for ridicule and abuse," said Orth during a revealing GDC Next talk on the subject. "I felt like an outcast, complete human garbage. I had completely destroyed my career, and endangered my family's life."Orth's GDC Next talk offers a brief taste of the i

Well this is my first project using unity and as a "Game Developer" i am just a web developer but i bought a devkit 9 month ago and decided to make something.I was inspired by dreadhalls for me one of the best horror demos for the oculus, so after playing it i got some ideas and started the project 2 weeks ago. This is an early demo, i dont know if i will add more things (may be better AI and some random things) .Please give me your feedback because is difficult to get scared by my one ideas :P i got some friends that acted like betatesters and i made them scream a littlebit. You can check their reactions in the facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/terroriftThe Goal in the Game is to get the 7 piano scores, play the piano and escape from the Castle / Dungeon.I only tested the windows version, let me know if you test it on Mac.This is the windows version 0.11 : https://mega.co.nz/#!u55wTQzb!j-EslSkXlh-DJ8eZ_p4Is514Ivw8bUw-isB8Iy7A3jEMediafire Mirror: http://www.mediafire.com/download/

http://www.polygon.com/2014/2/21/5433436/amazon-set-top-box-console-release-dateAmazon also founded Amazon Game Studios, which released its first video game, Living Classics, in August 2012. Last year, Halo novel writer Eric Nylund joined the developer as its director of narrative design. Earlier this month, Amazon confirmed that it acquired Double Helix Games, the developer of the recent Killer Instinct and Strider reboots.Sony, Valve, Nintendo, Amazon, Microsoft, Baidu, Google, Oculus, the ecosystems just keep growing..... If you wanted job security, which company are you going to design games for? Competition is good, if they want my exclusive title, gonna have to fork over something of extreme value yes?

Hey Oculus Rift users/Devs,For those of you not aware the Oculus Rift has filed a Trademark with the US Patent and Copyright office for a convention. Just thought I would give my 2 Cents for a Rift Convention location or two for a Oculus operated convention.Salt Lake City, Utah, United States - Why Salt Lake City - A Middle Ground for all of us North American people.- Large Convention halls that can be rented out.- Next to an International Airport for Non United States Rift Users to arrive at.- Lots of Hotel Space due to nearby ski resorts.- Top Notch Medical care at the University of Utah Hospital and various others.Where do you think that an Oculus Convention should take place?- Ben
