Mastertronic
, will have Oculus Rift support and will be distributed via
Steam

I'm...cautiously optimistic...not sure if I'm sold on the concept just yet, or the graphical art-style...but I'll keep an eye on it.

On their Steam page it's only listed as single player :-(

...which for me is something of a saving trait, in the sense that when first looking into it, I was afraid it was going to be yet
another
MMORPG that the world didn't need.
Still though, yeah, looks like no dice on the more conventional multiplayer we're familiar with Descent and the such.

It looks a bit cartoony, I'm not sure? But if it does well it's good for the 360 degrees games.

I like the idea of a 6DoF roguelike. I'll be watching...

Doesn't looks bad, I just hope it will have nice controls and movement (unlike Retrovirus that has very slow movement that makes it a bit boring).

I had to Google 'rougelike'. Are the maps generated randomly when you start the game?

That's what it looks like. So you're always

And it's not a bad idea, really. I'm all for a Descent-like game that's continually new and different every time you play. My big concern, though is that seems to be the only thing really going for it, and I'm not sure if that's enough.
But we'll have to wait and see.

Nah, you can't really see it in the video but the textures are pretty retro-looking too.
You can see it better in the screenshots on the steam page.

Most gamers never thought Minecraft would be as popular as it is because of the graphics.

I'm an old gamer, as old as the Atari 2600 games. It may be a fun game.
Question, old games have old graphics. gamers don't typically care.
But new games with poor graphics, do they?
