Forums - Gaming - Oculus Founder: Rift will come to Mac if Apple "ever release a good computer"

Uabit on 04 March 2016

It's not a secret that Apple sells overpriced hardware. I think they'll develop their own (overpriced) VR device.

Are there people who buy Mac desktops? It seems like it would be an exercise in self-flagellation.

Schools do, plus if you want to develop anything for IOS (iphones, ipads, etc...) with any serious power.

Final Cut Pro X.

I just hope the Mac owners will enjoy their zero VR games on their Vive.

Who needs games when you can have porn?

Yeah until Apple makes a VR headset for their platform that actually sells.

I would assume if it's just for porn, Google Cardboard is enough. It's also easily replacable so you don't have to wash it off every time.

Lol, fighting words none of which are wrong when it comes to the specs that they are talking about being needed for the rift, that said... this means about the same to Apple as an ant crawling against the side of their HQ and taking a piss, really, just nothing.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

He has a point. One can buy a Mac with a high end i7 but is usually capped at am r9 290 and its equivalents, which seems like the minimum for a good Rift experience. VR is for enthusiasts who build their own PC's right now.

OUUUCH APPLE XD Apple used to be the computer you used for Gaming (APPLE II) but as time went on it became more business oriented. Windows is great for both!

You could game on them perhaps in the early - mid 80s.  The main thing I know is that in the 90s they were terrible to have.  Games were either released years later for the Mac or not at all.  By the 90s PC took over gaming almost entirely.
