So whaddy'all think bout this?. People were expecting a console when they heard the report of Valve working on hardware. It could still be in the works, who knows. Big Picture Mode could be interesting. The one thing that I hope it brings are bigger fonts to chat sessions.

Somehow, I don't think my parents/boss would accept my excuse of "it was just a pop up" anymore if I wore this.

virtual reality
Lame. Everyone keeps trying and everyone keeps failing.

I don't see it ever actually happening successfully. I don't think we are close enough really. And even when it is perfected it'll cost a shit load of money.

To be fair, resolution wise, with the development in mobile displays for handphones, who knows.

I'm still not looking forward to these things though.

I just don't see it being successful.

I don't want to call these a waste of money, even though they are, but it helps us get closer to a device that can actually do virtual reality.

There's so much that is needed to make it perfect/work good enough. And I imagine it's super complicated too.

I say give it another 10 or so years before we get a good working product.

Wow, seriously, why is that a headset? I always thought headsets were headphones with mics.

Eeeh, whatever. I'm not one of the folks looking forward to VR things.

This story is an old 1st April gag, right?

Seriously though, beta testing for the FIFA 14 Augmented Reality version is already underway. Imagine you and your mates, in multiplayer career mode, playing in a packed San Siro, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Lee Cattermole. Coming soon, to a park near you... Headset calibration still needs a bit of work though...

Hopefully by 2014, Origin will have long since died a death, and this gem will be available on Steam.

I'd be afraid what something like that would do to my eyes... it would require my eyes to be focused extremely close which is hard, painful, and damaging over time =/
