So it looks like an actual game and not just a tech demo...hype! I get motion sickness bad on games that you don't "teleport" in. Walking or riding anything in-game in VR equals instant sick for me. I don't know if that's because of the rift, maybe with a higher refresh rate headset it wouldn't be so bad..../shrug.

Edit: Looks like the game supports multiple modes of movement.

For the comfort-inclined, there’s the usual teleport option, in which you fade between locations based on where your hand points. There’s also a smooth locomotion option, in which the player glides through the world using an analog stick. And then, in the middle, is a Shift option in which the camera glides between points you choose.

Looks super epic! Especially the part where you recharge and at the same time shoot around the corner. Also the reloading looks very cool and precise.
Now let's hope all the mechanics shown are not scripted, but work properly and precisely.

Looks great but you will need Valves Knuckle controllers to get the most out of it.
