Half Life "3" - MTBS "3" D - HL3 CONFIRMED!
Well, first Jaybug posted this:Okta wrote:I must have missed something? I have seen bad use of sarcasm before but...wtf?

So yes, I think you missed something. Besides, do you really think you'd hear about it from me before there was an official announcement? I'd be in huge trouble!crespo80 wrote:Damn you, I almost fell off my chairDycus wrote: oh geez don't kill me

In addition, I can say with 100% honesty that I know nothing about HL3 or its release date, and neither does anybody at Oculus.

I thought it was pretty funnyOkta wrote:.... but didn't expect it so blatantly from Oculus staff. Unfortunate.
Wat? I would hope that was a typo, but uuuh >.> so, anyone enjoying Halo 5 with their Rift prototypes?Okta wrote:After seeing Gaybugs post for 2 major supported titles (which i had no reason to disbelieve) and yours about HL3 (which i have not been following the status of) i started to suspect something was a bit to good to be true but didn't expect it so blatantly from Oculus staff. Unfortunate.
Negative connotations? Surely you *should* have realised it was in referral to the light hearted joviality of your posts, but by no means serious. Perhaps also you should try not to associate the word 'Gay' with a negative connotation to homosexuality.jaybug wrote:Hah, Gaybugs. It's kinda like my username, only slightly modified to imply homosexuality with a negative connotation. That's very funny. And here I thought you lacked a sense of humor.
Oh yes, the sarcasm is getting thicker by the minute. Chill out, Okta. The sooner you admit to yourself that you *should* have understood that it wasn't a serious comment, the better off you'll be.
Agreed. It's the fact that a delay hasn't been announced that makes me think everything is on track. I get the impression Palmer would have given some sort of update by now if they knew it was going to take longer than they thought, to manage expectations if nothing else.Zhin wrote:At this point I'd be happy just to have impending delay confirmed. Then I’d at least know. A delay, though unfortunate, is understandable but the lack of information is not.
I´m just extra sensitive about anything regarding “product information distribution” because that´s what I do for a living. I guess when you can draw parallels to something close to home your´level of acceptance will be set to whatever bar you yourself operate under. I work with diagnostics tools at Volvo Cars and our products are extremely niched in both hardware and software. Our customers would storm our gates if we were as reluctant to share development updates as Oculus are. Of course I don't think its necessarily fair to compare VCC and Oculus, just trying to explain/justify my growing impatience and the level of annoyance that follows.frakur wrote:Agreed.

Having said that, I hope people don't get their hopes too high for a pre-Xmas Rift, just in case...
I think playing Mirror's Edge with a HMD would actually give you less motion sickness?coresnake wrote:Guys, do you really have the stomach to play a game like Mirrors Edge with a HMD?
I know I don't.
Glad to hear you understand. Eagerly awaiting any scrap of news, even though it has seemed pretty sure my shipment in January will be on time, I can't wait to see what people think of the Rift in the wild.Dycus wrote:I wish I could tell you guys stuff about release dates and whatnot, but it's not really under my discretion to say so. I know how you guys feel, and I'm sorry. I'd be really eager for updates at this point too, especially since we've been pretty quiet for so long.
I'll try to get Palmer/Brendan to release an update soon.

Well put sirtroffmo5 wrote:You know, every sign of activity makes us happy It must not be a release date or a new feature revelation, of course it would be great, but everything like:
- "Today we made the tracker driver working"
- "We have just produced the first batch and they look great"
- "Having a brainstorming for the consumer version" + Picture of you in the meeting room
- Picture of Palmer having a pause (ok, this is improbable )
These are small and leak-free information that make us feel like partecipating in the development and make the wait bearable!

Well said troffmo5. It is the feeling of involvement that keeps us going. Maybe Oculus needs a community manager
