Anything that can make War Thunder seem like the last word in immersion is definitely worth looking into.

so what's the current status of affairs with OR? When will we see a release?

S!

 

 No idea when OR is out, but pre-ordered my consumer version already :) Looks like a piece of hardware you can not walk by  :lol:

The first place to check is here:

so far no news but my guess is the news will come shortly after DK2's make it into the hands of  developers.

 Not from the makers I guess, but one of the biggest online stores here takes pre-orders on OR now. Price and availability will be told later. So at least I got my hooks on one of them  :lol:

It's amazing how business can work, but inspiring, I think I'm going to open a shop selling pre orders for the Holodeck.

IIRC from infos I heard today, they plan to ship 30k units of their DK2 in july (probably late july). and after that, I think they plan to sell consumer version end of the year, but most probably in 2015

Consumer Version is not going to happen until next E3. They said they will announce some own-made home-grown game demos by then. Hard to imagine that they will release the hardware before content, that would be a big fail.

They can release it on the basis of third party content, that is the entire point of having developer kits.

They can, but they won't. How many major titles supporting OR are there now?

They also need to gather and process feedback from DK2 users.

Anyways they said themselves that content should be ready first and they are focusing on that and are hiring gamedevs from all around the world. I really doubt that they will make their future (and of the whole technology) reliable on 3rd party developers.

and this:

 

How many months will that all take, exactly? Iribe wouldn't be pinned down, but he did say that "it usually takes 6, 12, 18 months to make a new game or a new experience." And he said that clock really starts after the second developer kit ships to 40,000 preorderers next month

 

so yeah, do not hold your breath.

And here Palmer basically says that the next 6 months they will be creating consumer version from ground up:

I bet on release the next Easter. Pre-Order maybe from this X-mas.

Assetto Corsa

Elite Dangerous

ArmaIII

DCS

War THunder

Half-Life

Team Fortress

Hawken

EVE (Valkyrie)

Star Citzen

 

to name some

 

plenty enough to release the hardware and Q1 2015 is plenty of time for developers to make more content and to get feedback, their original idea didn't involve in house content, that only came along after the FB acquisition, there is no need to hold up release of the hardware for that, they need to gauge what the users of the hardware actually want first.

 

I will be holding my breath.

Pre-order with deposit sounds good...^^

Cool, paypal me £5000,000 deposit to secure it and I'll throw in a free introductory gift.

Considering the hype around the Rift, I really hope the development team adress support for the device as soon as IL2 is released... They can get some really valuable "free" PR in the wash of the Rift

S!

 

 Well, I did not have to pay for my pre-order or OR etc. Not until the price is set and OR ready to be delivered. Can still cancel it if needed as well.

You're going to have to find a good Holodeck Janitor, not a good job.
