I am happy to see this coming along.

--> back though - would this been able to be an integration into Dust 514?

Not sure if this could be integrated into Eve. I guess I will just have to wait and see what will be announced.

Sounds like this may just over a 1 year turn around. will this just be a mini game in eve or is this going to be a full fledge game and the developers are just that awesome? Will there be a planned growth.

John Lander posted in the thread does that mean the this will be an Occulus rift mobile game? Would be handy to play while on the bus during long trips.

Someday I will have the time to play. For now it is mining afk in High sec. In Cheap ships

Shocked Oh, my. IdeaBig smile Yes! Twisted

I was quite involved in the initial discussion on how to get EVR launched:

That'll probably get me buying an Oculus Rift, unless they mess up the gameplay and feeling they already had right when the demo/protoype was shown at Fanfest.

If this game doesn't tie into EVE or I cannot launch from RL players carrier I'm not buying.

P.S. Drone Bay for POS is a great idea.....Just make killing a POS harder for people.

I think you are mistaking me for Oculus Rift CEO.

There are more mobile devices available other than smartphones.
Usb-plugging an Occulus Rift into one isn't the same thing as plugging in a laundry machine or a refrigerator. The Oculus Rift is usb powered (low voltage) and should consume about the same or little more power than your regular mobile device display as that's basically what it is (Head Mounted Display) with the addition of motion sensors.

You should tell your work partners to not charge their phone batteries so often! Doing so before their power is depleted will decrease the number of recharge cycles under optimal condition (battery lifespan).

gonna ask something stupid, will there be an option for playing without an Oculus Rift? im not into the VR wagon, but im interested in the game.

also i hope we get info about the payment method or if its F2P like DUST514. or if it will have a system like EVE-O so i can plex my dogfighter and my capsuleer alts.

i hope there's more than dogfighting, this could be the next installment of WiS even, you dont have to stay all the day in a capsule, you could explore the station interiors and planet environments in order to do missions and that stuff, along with, i dunno, industry, i dont want to stay in a fighter the whole day. maybe i could have a "mining shuttle" or something. of course these mining would be active like in space sims. where you shoot lasers to the asteroid until it explodes >:) and then you recover the ores with a tractor beam.

the possibilities are endless, i hope to see a really good product by you CCP people.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Two questions from an eternal eve online fanboy:

1. CCP, do you have any plans of making Valkyrie players able to fly Fighter Bombers as well as Fighters?

2. WIll we see a level of customization available to us for the spacecraft we will be pilotting such as we already experiance in Eve Online? (Perhaps not as indepth, but i am thinking of upgradable weapons, armor plating or shield boosts, AB vs MWD, that sort of thing)

I really hope the dev team takes some inspiration from X-Wing. That game was incredible and had just the right amount of depth, managing resources for either lasers, shield recharge, and/or speed. Something similar could be achieved here where pilots manage capacitor between the various systems. I also like the idea of diverting power from fore shields to aft and vice-versa. Being able to reinforce defenses depending on the geometry of your ship relative to the incoming attack really helps differentiate a tactical space dogfighter from, games like Eve and also space shooters-on-rails.

Having some fitting depth with tradeoffs (it shouldn't be crazy) would also help this game have a long future. I think a tie-in to Eve combat is pretty necessary, although I'm not sure how this can be done. It might be cool if some battleships could have access to a very limited fighter bay module so you don't have to be a cap pilot to participate in Eve.

Finally, I like the idea of actions having consequences with a Dust-like skill tree progression, and ships costing ISK that is permanently lost when it's destroyed.

I apologize,

you are all so gullible, they show a 45 sec teaser and fish you all in hook line and sinker......HA HA HA..

When they started promoting ambulation in stations they showed you a teaser...HAS IT HAPPENED?????

I expected "UNREAL Tournement GOY" or "Halo" in the stations fighting to take player hangers and all we got a walk-around- the-captains-quarters for all that hype. We didn't even get "SIM EVE" where you Carebears could hang out and have quafe with your significant others while looking at the stars...(roflmao)

Expect to be disappointed and get this on an obsolete game console limited to a look-alike EVE environment and you won't be broken hearted when it happns that way.

The teaser looks awesome, the concept is great but lets see the execution happens without torching EVE Online.

Objects in space do not bank when they turn. There is no atmosphere for them to bank on.

The only show / movie that comes to mind that ever got it right is battlestar galactica. They actually followed the physics of what a ship would do in a space environment.

I'd suspect it's an F15 simulator with a space background.


Depends on our your engines are set and where your going banking in space is a valid maneuver.

Much of the hype caused by the teaser isn't because the teaser is good, but that the teaser is telling us that THAT AWESOME TECH DEMO FROM FANFEST AND THAT OTHER PLACE IS GOING TO BE A GAME!!!!11!AGDSFGSHDFHS!(<--Based on other people's opinions)

Congrats to the Dev Team behind this.

The EveVR demo at Fanfest was incredible. Can't wait to see what they can do with it, now that they have the resources to make a full on VR Game of it.

I hate to be a neigh-sayer on what appears to be a decent space flight shooter.

But seriously guys shouldn't you be patching the massive memory leak in dust 514 before you go pimping new games in development?

I hope you don't just limit this to console format, at the very minimum it should be available on PC's as well. Games like, Elite, Wing Commander and many similar flight sim/combat games worked well on PC's don't shut the PC players out of this as you did with DUST, bear in mind not everyone can justify additional games platforms hardware when they already have and maintain good hardware to play EVE.
Apart from that way to go CCP :) Great to see this development , so more power to your elbows for this, When is it going beta? :D

TWO Very Good Ideas! Whilst I disagree with the "not buying" bit mind you.

But if these two concepts were integrated into Eve. Its got to be a YES! YES! YES! CCP please take note!
