Okay, okay. I know it's not a game. But this still deserves to be up here because it looks like it will fulfill a promise that us gamers have been told since many of us were born: that, someday, we'll be able to put a headset on, and be part of the videogame world we play in thanks to Virtual Reality.
Oculus Rift's Kickstarter campaign is only for developers and people who'd like to tinker with the device. It's a development kit that has (likely) a lower resolution than the "finished" consumer product. Still, I can't tell you how excited I am to get my hands on this thing. It's going to be A M A Z I N G to develop games for.
It's got official loving from Notch (creator of Minecraft), John Carmack (creator of Doom, Wolfenstein), Gabe Newell (Creator of Steam, Valve, Half Life), and a whole host of other really highly respected people in the gaming industry. If it's got these people speaking good things about it in the video, you can rest assured that it's the real deal.
Oh, that, and it covered it's $250,000 Kickstarter goal in about 3 hours.
