I'm playing the gorgeous Elite Dangerous these days on a Broadwell-E PC with a curved 95hz 3440x1440 34" monitor, utilising TrackIR for head tracking, with full HOTAS (Thrustmaster Warthog + rudders). Coupled with a wonderfully detailed sound track, it is an incredibly immersive experience as it stands even in 2D.

This is a title that has VR people raving about it, and I can picture why - the immersion would be full and complete. Now, I haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet, as I like the resolution of my monitor too much - which is a factor especially in titles like DCS World that I'd also like to play.

Having said that I can't wait for the 2nd generation of Oculus Rift to come out with 4k screens or thereabouts. I'll be preordering.

I bought Occulus just for this game. I love Elite. Was tons of fun with Occulus. Unfortunately, the physical pressure of the Occulus hurt - caused too much pressure on my face, causing discomfort after about 20min. Additionally, resolution way too low for distant battles. Returned the Occulus, but it certainly was a great experience.

Thanks, that's good to know - I probably didn't realise the resolution would also affect Elite but it makes sense - glad you got to experience it!

The game certainly has a learning curve ... yet manages to provide perfect escapism at the end of the day.
