The game itself was hugely impressive even in tech demo format at Fanfest, putting you into the cockpit of a nimble fighter craft with full freedom of movement and vision thanks to Oculus Rift, but now that it’s been greenlit for full production it will have the resources behind it to look truly stunning.
Last time I played it, EVE Valkyrie was a multiplayer-only dogfighter, but when I asked CCP whether there would be a single-player story component in the full game the answer was an ambiguous “we’re not ready to talk about that yet”. With all that EVE history and lore to draw from, it’s tempting to believe that a single-player campaign is part of the plan for the game.
So: multiplayer (at least) space sim in the EVE universe, coming 2014. Anybody else excited?
Oculus don’t have yet consumer editions for sale. No? the current version is the developers edition, is low res and because of that have some screendoor effect.
So this game should wait for the actual hardware to be available.
It looks nice, and could be the first AAA-ish game for the Oculus. And EVE is about the only good sci-fi setting in gaming. So soo far, soo good. Except I still think using bullets in space is dumb.
Well, its a space-dog figthing game where small figthers have shields with a singlee player campaign and multiplayer - It can’t get any closer than that without being Star Wars, can it?
Edit: Not Space-dog fighting game, but space dog-fighting game :-D
Wow…that looks incredible. I have always loved the design of the ships in EVE, just found the gameplay to be too disengaged, this might just suck me in.
