On the 8/14 episode of the GiantBombcast they raise an interesting issue when it comes to FPS’s and the Oculus.
While current UI’s especially for science fiction FPS (Crysis, Deus Ex, Halflife) have a justification for having information on the screen , with anything from modern military shooters and WWII shooters don’t have that excuse but also have the opportunity to innovate when it comes to giving the player that information like Far Cry 2 with its map system which could be activated by looking down pulling out your stats via a tablet or Pip boy etc.
The removal of the barrier of your home environment opens up changes to very traditional elements of games, and pushes the need to contextualize how information is given to the player. I would love to see this kind of change and have always loved UI’s where the information show to you has a reason for being like the objective information in the Metro games in your leather folder, or checking your ammo in Condemned: Criminal Origins by pulling out your Magazine. The more game do this the happier I am.

The Furious Angels believed that to combat the growing tide of darkness, another approach was needed; so a group of Jedi consisting of the most powerful Guardians, Sentinels and Consulars decided to tread a thin line, skirting between the light and dark side but never fully falling. “To serve the light, we fight in the darkness”
I saw this in the FA in SW:TOR thread and it got me thinking, and researching to draw it closer into the cannon.
