It's a sign of the times when you make the cover of Time Magazine and Oculus have most definitely had their moment in the sun for good or ill - as prestigious as it might be, the internet memes following in it's wake reminded everyone to remain cautiously optimistic about the future of VR. Nevertheless, it's hard to underestimate it when so many major players are willing to dip their toes in the water. Ubisoft have been at the launch of every major gaming platform, so the Oculus launch should be no different, while up and coming movie franchises like John Wick are getting in on the VR action too. All this and more on another VR-enabled #NOTplaying Podcast!
