EVE Online's Stunning Oculus Rift Demo Becomes A Real Game

Members of the press at E3 2013 and fans at this year’s CCP Fanfest wouldn’t shut up about how cool the Oculus Rift-powered EVE VR demo was, so CCP is making EVE: Valkyrie, a multiplayer space dogfighting game set in the EVE universe. I hope you’re all happy. I know I am. There can never be too many space dogfighters, and adding virtual reality to betdog the mix ensures the record for the most fun I’ve ever had while puking all over myself will be broken in 2014, when the game is scheduled for release.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1176241180","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); To get an idea of the experience, just imagine this… …only all over. Yes, I just referenced the Fantastic Four movie, and I’m feeling pretty good about it. “From the moment this year’s Fanfest attendees first got their hands on EVE-VR, the question has been, ‘When can I have this?’,” said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP via official announcement. “What started as a passion project by a small, incredibly talented group of CCP developers became one of the most highly anticipated games of the year — before we even announced it. We have big plans for EVE: y1 games Valkyrie and I can’t wait to share more details later this year.” You can find out more about EVE Valkyrie over at thegame website, because that’s y1 com what it’s for.
