Battlezone-rebooten släpps till Oculus Rift

Brittiska utvecklaren Rebellion låter meddela att deras kommande reboot av Battlezone (Atari-spel från tidigt 80-tal) ska utrustas med Oculus Rift-stöd. Något premiärdatum har inte utannonserats, men det ska släppas till både PC och Playstation 4 under nästa år.

Här är några högtidliga uttalanden som gjordes i samband med denna utannonsering från Rebellions båda grundare Jason och Chris Kingsley:

"The Battlezone arcade machine was an inspiration not just for my brother and me, but for a whole generation of developers. When Facebook kicked off their VR segment of the F8 conference, the original 1980 Battlezone was the game they opened with - it's that important in gaming history.

We've come a huge way since then, but the development community needs to work together to help make VR a success, and Oculus are definitely playing their part. The technology, the hardware, it's finally all there - and make no mistake it's game experiences that are going to take VR headsets to the mainstream, not film or TV."
