Eve Valkyrie oculus Rift Game

I think it's a great move. Playing a game where there are other player presences is very different from a single-player experience; for a space combat game I've always felt the former is a better direction. I understand it's a different approach, and that people have different tastes.

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike multiplayer. MP only games tend to not have that long of a lifespan and when the servers get shutdown you can never play the game again. That's why I like for there to be a single player game option because not all devs make a multiplayer game where players can host or open source the game when it is EOL for them.

New video.  Looks like a Babylon5 style cockpit where you stand up

I read some where the game will only be playable with a Oculus.

Looks like it will be bundled with pre orders of the Rift http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/12/10/eve-valkyrie-oculus-rift-pre-order/[/url]

Its an expensive risk to make a VR Headset only game since that device is around $300 :)But like always these videos are great looking.

And it's a multiplayer only game as well.

Well I don't think I will playing it as I'm just not into online multiplayer games, if they ever get around to putting a SP into it I would give it a go. Another short video.

New trailer out for the game.  Have read that this has a look at target to lock on feature.

Short video about the new carrier assault mode.

PlayStation VR launch video.  Not shown any gameplay, probably not looking as good the PC version.

Can't believe i missed this news.... that this game has been cancelled/shelved for now:

Personally this makes sense, space games are already a niche market generally and then if you now need to have VR to play it. Well I doubt the investment cost would be returned, so I think it was a smart move by CCP to do this. I think they cancelled Dust 514 to quickly before they could let it grow. But this move I think was the right one if EVE Valkyrie was going to be a VR only product.
