Did I say something bad about the PS4 or something? I have no idea what you're talking about. I think maybe the only one with console wars on the brain is you.

From the website.
Sounds like nothing really that special.

Would be pretty awesome if so 
The increased resolution, multiple displays, and 90hz might be a bit of an issue, the PS4 is seemingly okay based on the single 1080p panel running at 120hz (which plays well with 60), but I've no reason to suspect it couldn't run some of the less taxing experiences like 360 movies, and some very lightweight gaming experiences.

They don't say a single thing about the actual people that are part of VRWERX, but assert that the game will come out Q2 2016.
This stinks of a start-up that paid to license the IP and will somehow try to throw something together.

We're seeing quite a few GearVR apps that were ported to or from PC and the DK2. No reason it couldn't happen this way. Especially when both XB1 and PC will be running on more or less the same operating system.

I figured this might be a given considering MS' lack of VR device. Whether the machine is even able to support it properly remains to be seen.
Genuinely brilliant satire?

Depends entirely on what it's trying to power. The Xbone will run the shit out of any game targeting Gear VR for example.
Actually I think he's mad at you for saying something positive about the PS4.
you only need 15 FPS per eye if you don't blink concurrently.
It doesn't really matter if the devs design the game to support it. However that may cause it to look a bit shitty compared to not running it however the immersion helps compensate for loss of fidelity.
It's definitely not that.
It's because to be able to do some half decent VR the PS4 needs custom hardware (which works hand in hand with their reprojection 120HZ solution), given its relatively weak CPU and GPU.
The XB1's GPU is 40% weaker (while the CPU's difference being so marginal as to being barely worth mentioning), so having a PC solution "natively" that is not custom made to take in account those weaknesses seems rather ... far fetched.
We are talking here about Occulus Rift, something that its devs have repeatedly said is not worth doing on an under powered PC (Phones are a different matter on many levels).
It seems to me here that either they are talking about the "VR projection" thing that had already been discussed, or MS is just aiming to have a low performance solution to just add a bullet point to be able to say "we have VR too". :shrug:
All they have described is a target recommended spec for optimal quality and usage of all experiences being developed.
Minimum specs are just like any PC app, completely variable. Palmer Luckey has talked of apps that run on integrated graphics alone, but obviously that isn't the case for everything just as you don't need the recommended spec everything either.
Ha, seriously.
Reprojection is software based, not hardware. XB1 could do it as well, and even PC eventually. In fact, if something like this were to happen, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Oculus worked with MS to achieve this functionality. Then again, MS is a software company and can probably figure this stuff out on their own.
As a staffer, maybe OP can explain how Hardcore Gamer arrived at this conclusion
Easily possible.

If my gaming laptop can't even run the Oculus Rift and the Xbone can, I would be shocked. :/
This is a high-end, expensive piece of tech.
Besides Minecraft, what else could they market for it to convince people to spend hundreds of dollars on it?

You can make really nice-looking VR games that run on mobile without fancy things like complex dynamic lighting and high-res textures. XB1 Rift games are not an impossibility at all. You just have to scale everything down so you can keep a steady screen resolution and frame rate. If mobile devices can do it, XB1 absolutely can.
Look at Ocean Rift for an example of what could be done on XB1. It's one of the Rift games that's been adapted to work on mobile, and it's actually still really quite beautiful on it.

You don't have to say anything bad. Anyone, I'm not the only one rolling eyes here at you so carry along.
Its was mentioned back at E3 that Sony has choose to use a software solution vs hardware that runs on PS3 hardware for the 60>120.
Again, did you guys even read the article? It is not based on the wording in this press release. The entire point of the article is that they contacted VRWERX to get clarification on what exactly the press release meant.
I still think the information is wrong, but it is clear some of you did not bother reading past the first paragraph at best
VRWERX repeatedly states in the emails that you can play the VR version of their game on Xbox One, using the OR
How much more clear can you get?
The article even gives the likely explanation:
Which is evidently working hand in hand with their proprietary hardware, just like I said.
The email wording makes no sense and sounds like it was run through Google translate. So I'll wait for word from ms and/or fb.
Of course I read the article. It's just basic logic and common sense to connect the dots and see that there's nothing here.
Most people who were seriously touting the cloud services stuff have been banned I believe for one reason or another. To be fair to what they're talking about though, Microsoft did show off a research project that was streaming for VR, but it is just a research project.
Not what you were saying at all.
Because what we really need right now is another company making a VR headset.
Read again.

Where is it mentioned in the article? I don't see it.

Sure, maybe with games that have gen 6 level graphics.

Oculus being portable between the PC world and Xbox world would be huge. Throw Minecraft into the mix and this thing could sell like crazy.
If Facebook and Microsoft are serious about this, they'll sell these as cheaply as possible. Otherwise they risk losing the VR market to competitors.
