Here's another pr release about the use of the Oculus VR at IndieCade
"Epic Games and Zombie Studios are ready to scare the pants off of IndieCade attendees with the first ever Oculus VR demonstration of “Daylight” at the Culver City-based festival of independent games on October 5-6.
Developed for PS4 and PC by Zombie and published by
ATLUS, “Daylight” is a procedurally generated psychological thriller
in which no two experiences are the same. “Daylight” is also the first
Unreal Engine 4-powered
commercial game to support Oculus VR, and attendees will be able to
test their bravery to see how long they can survive the demo,
exclusively at the Unreal Engine booth inside
the IndieCade Village.
Epic is also thrilled to host Compulsion Games, who will have numerous stations dedicated to “Contrast,” the only game where you can freely shift in and out of shadow. Contrast is set for release
on November 15 for PC (Steam), PS3, PS4 (both via PSN) and Xbox 360 (through XBLA).
Lastly, “Infinity Blade III,”
the epic conclusion in the blockbuster video game trilogy from Epic’s
award-winning ChAIR Entertainment, will be playable on iPad at IndieCade
as well."
