Virtual Reality

This isn't really new news, but I saw a new article today about someone playing Skyrim using the Oculus Rift.

I've seen a couple of these recently and I think the concept sounds really good and I think this type of game would work well for a VR game.

Now the Oculus Rift isn't even for sale yet to the public but we are getting mods like this from developers so it made me think about TES6. We're probably looking at least 3/4 more years before TES6 will be released and by then the Oculus Rift (and any other companies version) will have been out for a couple of years which will have given developers some good time to build games with this tech in mind (rather than porting to after the game is complete).

I think this would be a great way to play the next TES game and I hope BGS include some support for this tech and so was just wondering what other people thought about this and whether you would actually like to play like this or if you would prefer to stick to a TV screen.
