Not "virtually" as in we'll "almost" enjoy it, but "virtually" as in "virtual reality"-based enjoyment. Just watch the video.<br /><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/29/oculus-rift-dev-kits-are-shipping/"><br />Kickstarter backers</a> should receive their Oculus Rift dev kits by mid-April, with pre-orders hitting a little later in the month.

The beta test for the title will start next Tuesday, July 10, and then go through the end of the month.<br /><br />You can read <a href="http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?72075-LittleBigPlanet-Karting-GameJam-2012">some impressions from the game jam</a> over on the forums, including some breathless (we imagine) excitement from the game's fans and players on how the title worked and what they made. Codes will go out soon to selected players, and the game itself is due out later on this year.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/07/littlebigplanet-karting-gets-player-tested/">LittleBigPlanet Karting gets player tested</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:00:00 EST.
