Oculus Rift support with TellTale games?

Has anyone heard anything about Telltale experimenting with Oculus Rift VR support in their game engine?

I know the Telltale CEO, Dan, was at the Tribeca Film Festival where him and Nate Mitchell from Oculus were both giving talks. I'm wondering if they chatted about it.

Off the top of my head I know there will be Rift support with the follow engines and games: Unreal engine, Unity, Valve, ID Software, Minecraft, Second Life, a bunch of sweet Indie Games like this one, but WHAT ABOUT OUR BELOVED TELLTALE GAMES?

I personally think a VR version of The Walking Dead, or any Telltale adventure game would be incredible. Can someone please send a couple dev kits to Kevin?

The poll is below. How many people think Telltale games would translate well into a virtual reality setting?

    What would even be the point. It's not like any of Telltale's games are played from a first-person perspective for any meaningful period of time.

    You are forgetting the three poker games. They would probably be awesome with Oculus Rift. Especially in combination with a Leap Motion.

    If you have the world and you have the engine, why not give a 1st person perspective option with the Rift? Could be a cool extra, if not primary, camera mode. It really does bring you into the game like nothing else. I'm hoping the voters of the poll are wrong and that Telltale will consider it.

    Leap Motion or Razer Hydra. I think it would work just fine, but adventures probably aren't the most immersive of games to begin with, so I don't see the point.

    I'm calling it right now. Poker Night 3 with Oculus Rift compatibility.

    And yes, it would definitely add something if you could look around the Inventory.
