A non-EVE playing friend (yes, they actually exist) said something horrifyingly excellent:
Capital ship gunners.

As in "use the Oculus to allow players to take control of a single weapons turret."

Of course, the awoxing potential for that is very high. Which might be a selling point. Twisted

Thanks.

I do like it.

I still say, make sure it doesn't end somewhere in a Reykjavik office. At the very least, make it nifty, small and neat. Then get the Oculus Rift guys to bundle it with their launch hardware (for a fee P).

Do it CCP!

nothing is official, this was a small project made by a handful of devs on our own time. after hours, late nights and weekends. But it for sure is an interesting approach to gaming.


OK I stopped reading after this and place it next to the door. Straight

Actually, I believe CCP asked for and was given a developers rig.

If you are referring to this game (dogfighting) making it into the Eve Online client, then NO.

Impossible, the mechanics in the background are incompatible. Eve Online ticks at one server/client interaction per second (to make huge battles possible in our sandbox). A dogfighting game needs several dozen of those, to keep a fluent experience. These are technically two different games.

The closest your thought may come true, are:

1) EVR becoming its own game and - at some point far down the road - having a connection to Tranquility like Dust has now.
2) The Oculus Rift being supported for Eve as flair, essentially giving us a nice experience looking around our ships, just as we can rotate the camera fluidly now. Wouldn't mean dogfighting or any other twitch-based space combat mechanics, though. Just as a replacment for monitor/camera.

I'd buy that. Seriously - bring the price per unit down under US$200, add the necessary support and artwork, and I'm there.

As I (and many others) already stated, EVE physics is not compatible with a twitch based space shooter for bare gameplay reasons.

But I would really like to see it integrated into EVE online in some way, and I hope CCP has the right people to solve the gameplay issues and the technical ones, possibly with a great ambitious plan.. that's a real challenge to take.

No one paid us anything to do this :P We did get early Rift kits but only because we had some connections. It was purely driven by passion and our interest in VR and giving people at Fanfest the chance to experience the Oculus Rift.

Most of us get that. We are also jealous that you can spend some (= a lot) Blink of your time that way. I think the position of most players (and also the gaming press present at fanfest) is pretty clear. We like what we briefly saw. Now the ball is obviously in the court of CCP's higher ups. *thumbs pressed*

Oh dear, looks like you hit your head pretty hard getting out of bed this morning. You should probably get that looked at.

make it as a third game layer.

planetary fights => Dust


low / high atmosphere fights => this fighter thingy.


space => Eve online


with the possibilities to either : assist ground battles (with bombing runs)

obstract / harass low orbital ships (orbital bombardment destroyers)



so if no orbital bombardment takes place, then thers nothing to shoot in orbit.

still you can fly strafe runs on ground troops and such....
