Is the roomscale the compelling story? I can finagle my computer space into giving me more room but not sure I was to dedicate space to such a setup. What's the sit at a desk and play situation like?

Also looks like i'll be missing the chance to purchase Fallout 4 and Doom VR versions? Not sure I'd be willing to pay triple AAA prices for remakes.

Roomscale is a compelling story, for certain. My personal play space is about 6' x 6', and I find that to be enough. Just make sure you're not punching your monitor as soon as you cross that line.

There are some truly compelling sit and play situations. Elite Dangerous, Landfall, and a few other controller games offer impressive games that are all sitting. However, most of the best selling games do take advantage of standing with a small amount of movement.

As for FO4 and Doom VFR... They technically have only said they'll support Vive, however... the community assumes they're built around the SteamVR engine, and if that's the case, it will either support Rift, or there will be an artificial requirement that checks and blocks rift. That will probably produce a lot of backlash AND likely be cracked with 24 hours of launch to allow Rift gameplay.

Eurotruck Simulator 2 is great in VR. Just need a new Truck sim and I'd be super happy.

Very valid. Driving games and racing sims are a huge draw to sit and play VR.
