I've had the pleasure of messing around with a DK2 and the racing sim 'Project CARS' - Here's what came to mind:



Not so great for something like Natural Selection 2... Maybe not even Subnautica. Both amazing nonetheless.

    Anyway. Awesome vid hugh! Living in the future DOES kick ass!
    I would definitely want to try out being a skulk with the oculus though.
    "Presence" or not. I WANT FOUR LEGS, LOTS OF TEETH, AND SOME HORRIBLE PARASITE GROWING IN ME. :3

    Oculus Rift things synced to a roller coaster movement. Skip to 1m 52s for the good part. Stupid embedded video ignores the time codes.
