Oculus Rift Sells Out and Minecraft Goes Next-Gen - BREAKING NEWS #2

Yet again, I'm providing you all a step away from the barrage of Super Smash Bros. content to give you some other video game news. Much like last time, these stories aren't exactly current but are still relevant so please keep this in mind with open eyes.

The first of your two stories is that Facebook has purchased the virtual reality headset, Oculus Rift, for $2 billion. According to Business Insider, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg said that Facebook plans to take Oculus VR's newest piece of tech to the next level. "After games, we're going to make Oculus a platform for many other experiences. Imagine enjoying a court side seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor face-to-face -- just by putting on goggles in your home."

Now, you have to remember that there is no actual Oculus Rift  for the general public right now. The only version that is out now is the Developer Kit. Maybe Zuckerburg plans to quicken production on the public model of the headset so that those who want to enter into the next generation of games can do so sooner. That, or he just wants to make a 3D version of Farmville, complete with ads. Yea, no likes for that.

Second, and finally, 4J Studios, the developers of the Xbox 360 and PS3 Versions of Mojang's hit title Minecraft, released an image of what appears to be Minecraft for Sony's Vita. This could mean that the blocky title may officially be ready to go next-gen since Sony has had a great history with games like this so
far. Remember when Sony announced that the Vita would be able to connect to the PS3 and you'd be able to continue games away from your home console, much like the Wii U's game tablet? Well, with the success of the PS3 version of Minecraft, we could expect crafters to be able to use this feature. But, none can say for sure, considering no official details were announced.

With that, this will be the end of your new news.
And as always, Gamers of the Nations, RAGE ON and I'll see you next time :)
