So... Good or bad thing? It's a good thing to have a gigantic corporation backing the Virtual reality future
Better than MS I guess
I don't see the connection between Facebook and VR other than some creepy world domination motives. Or maybe just one too rich company doing whatever with their money.
Gaf has better network infrastructure than Steam now.
So Oculus will now be the trojan for personal VR
Morpheus will be for Gaming VR
Got it
no idea how its work but cliffy invested in Oculus pretty early (before the big 75million investment), lets say he has only 0.1% of Ouclus... this alone would mean $2million???
seriously? way to have an open mind
facebook is clearly trying to pull a google by expanding far beyond one simple idea. Google went from a search engine to a rapidly expanding tech giant. Facebook looks to do the same with its own innovative technologies.
surprised GAF hasn't shut down
Good news: this means that VR will be the future.
Bad news: the future is going to suck ass.

Sony isnt going to save shit, im not sure why everyone thinks that Morpheus is the savior.
The PS4 will hold that thing back, it will have to produce at least 60fps for an immerse experience and render 2 1080p screen, the PS4 can just about to cope with 1 screen at 1080p. That shark demo is the most technically advanced the games will get, Morpheus isnt even in the same league as the OR
I don't know what to even think about this. It's so random.
*puts on Rift*
"Please sign in to your Facebook account"
*takes off Rift*
This is only going to strengthen Sony's Morpheus, IMO. Kind of sucks for all those PC gamers getting ready for Oculus tech. We'll see how this all pans out. Hopefully they'll just let it lie and not have too much of an agenda.
What am I saying? It's facebook, of course they have some agenda. F2P VR games incoming
Translation: THEY PAID US $2,000,000,000!

"We’ll see you in the Metaverse!"
At least they got the right reference. Snow Crash >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ready Player One.
And WhatsApp, a standard chat app for mobile, went for $16 billion. King.com is being valued at $7.6 billion at IPO.To put this in perspective, LucasFilms and the Star Wars brand was bought by Disney for 4billion, and Marvel for 4.6billion. Oculus, in a year, went from a 2.5million Kickstarter to half of what it costs to own Marvel or Star Wars.
Insane how this company rose.
If any company could make VR a successful platform, it'd be a huge company like Facebook getting involved.
So... Will anyone still be able to make anything for it, or will it become a 'walled garden' type of thing?
