I guess if you have no attachment to original TR (unlike myself) than you might enjoy it - I rate it as "utter crap out of 5 stars" for TR game and 3.5 out of 5 as non -TR game (so that's 65-75/100)...but I'm kinda hard on games in general, and prefer star ratings since they don't seem as bad as numbers (I'll play anything with 3 or more stars, and even ocassinaly try 2.5/5 games).

As for Rift, yeah, it seems that CV1 fixes issues of DK2...seems I'll have to wait a bit to see how much better it is and if they've done anything with screens (pixels in DK2 are quite noticable)...tbh, I thought I wouldn't care much for VR before I've tried it (since I don't give a damn about 3D in cinemas), but now, if cybersickness issues are resovled, I'm willing to jump on VR bandwagon much earlier than I planned.

My main worry are the QTE, if they aren't too irritating, then I'll probably enjoy it.

About VR, don't forget about the HTC/Valve Vive headset, specially after their "big breakthrough" discovery of which we'll maybe know more at CES. I think the best approach would be to wait until all VR devices are launched, and see which one is best or has more games (not every VR game works with with every VR headset).

Yeah, I'm quite curious to try out Vive, though Star VR with 210 degree FOV (vs 100-110 of all other competitiors) and 2560x1440 per eye seems like best specs so far. I guess will have to wait at least 2nd generation of current VR race to see all the cool things in one device: 210 FOV, high enough resolution (not to notice pixels) and eye tracking.

As for support, I'm guessing Vive will have best support, given that Valve is involved (if I remember it right, I think there's some 170 games on Steam supporting it).
