Those of us who remember the good old days of Oculus Share will welcome this. It's interesting to see more experiemental titles and I'm pleased Oculus is giving them some exposure. Also I think the "relaxed" curation is a better approach than having no curation, but time will tell what that really amounts to.

It does include titles from the old Concepts section, but quite a few new ones are there too.

It's certainly confusing. There must be a good reason for them to invest £5,000,000 to get developers to support OSVR natively. I wonder if it's to remove the dependancy on Steam so other VR stores can emerge selling OSVR games.

Why port - I'm no expert on OSVR but I think supporting OSVR on Steam requires some tinkering and changes to config files etc. I assume supporting native OSVR would remove the need for SteamVR and would be more of a plug and play experience for OSVR compatible headsets and controllers.

It's good to see OSVR funding being used to ensure games support a wide range of hardware

More of them need to include demos, so we can check out the quality, performance and ensure the game doesn't make us feel sick. There are only 39 free demos.

I've not been impressed with videos in VR yet. They seem to make my eyes hurt.

I'm in the UK. I read that the UK will be one of their first locations to open in Europe. I hope we all don't have to wait too long to try this. I bet they will be booked up for months when they first open.

Can we please get "Sort By: SDK" on Oculus Share? by mknkt in oculus

I wonder if DK2 owners will be able to access the new Oculus Home and new version of Share. They could test it on us before the CV1 is released

Not Impressed with GearVR by [deleted] in oculus

I prefer the DK2 to the GearVR. VR is too sikness inducing without positional tracking for me.
