The latest IT thing in PC gaming, Oculus Rift, has added two more amazing games to it’s line up. First up War Thunder, which is a perfect fit for the Oculus Rift being a World War II free to play MMO flight simulation. While currently in open beta developer Gaijin Entertainment shows it is really looking to push the technological envelope with War Thunder. The immersion the Oculus Rift brings when being seated inside an aircraft has to be intense and just adds to the feeling of blasting through the clouds chasing down other fighter planes.
Skydive: Proximity Flight which was previously on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 has you become an extreme sports daredevil. If you’ve never thought you would get a chance to basejump with a wingsuit on, now you can. I’m wondering if there will be some kind of secondary harness in addition to the Oculus Rift to give you an even greater feeling of skydiving. Both of these games will be playable with the Oculus Rift at the Eurogamer Expo 2013 September 26th thru September 29th in London.
