Absolutely the perfect game for this I want more free-running games so badly, but some people have a hard time judging distances for jumps in first person without depth perception. This fixes it!
Personally I didn't find the free-running mechanic in first-person nearly as problematic as a lot of people make it out to be, but I can see how the Rift will solve the issue of the player constantly having facefulls of wall due to the necessity of facing the movement direction.

It's exactly why you don't show a flat picture on the rift. Moving your head with an unchanging visual response is disorienting and really screws with people. (Of course changing the game's fov to 110 might help. I don't think he did that.) I'd still love to try it, but controlling balancing segments with my head would just be weird. :v:
Really what we need is a new freerunning game built with oculus in mind from the ground up. Forced head movement needs to go, for sure - would have been much better with a red orchestra/arma style view system.
