Hawken to Launch With Oculus Rift Support in December

Hawken will support the Oculus Rift virtual reality display when it releases on December 12. Oculus owners will be able to look around the interior of an exclusive cockpit interior, as well as get a more three dimensional sense of the battlefield.

Presently, the only way to acquire the Oculus Rift is to pre-order a development kit from the Kickstarter page, which will run you about $300. Retail units will roll out at an unspecified date in the future.

Hawken is a free-to-play multiplayer shooter for PC that IGN enjoyed at E3, where Executive Editor Charles Onyett gave some face-on impressions of the Oculus Rift.

This is the second title to take advantage of the Oculus Rift, joining Doom 3: BFG Edition.  Do you think virtual reality is really the future of gaming?

Is Reality Racers Coming to PlayStation Vita?

Gaming site Siliconera has extracted some interesting information from Japanese trademark filings indicating that Sony may be working on a game called Reality Racer. Depending on if you liked the Vita launch game Reality Fighters -- we certainly didn’t -- this may or may not be good news… at least if the two games are connected.

All Siliconera dug up was that Sony indeed filed the trademark, and for the time being, the trademark only appears in Japan. Whether or not it’s related to Reality Fighters still remains to be seen. We’ve reached out to Sony for comment and will update if and when we hear more.
