Eve Valkyrie Fanfest 2015 VR Gameplay, Now Running on Oculus Rift Crescent Bay

5

At Eve Fanfest 2015, developer CCP Games is showing the latest build of their first VR game, Eve Valkyrie.

CCP says that the build of Eve Valkyrie running at Fanfest 2015 is one of the most full featured games to be shown on the Oculus Rift. The latest build is noticeably more polished than the last time I played it with a refined holographic cockpit UI, a more cinematic takeoff sequence, multiple ship classes, and a new ship graveyard map not seen previously.

Eve Valkyrie is being shown primarily on the Oculus Rift DK2 running on rigs powered by Nvidia’s new Titan X GPU. The game is also being shown to select groups at the show for the first time on the Oculus Rift Crescent Bay prototype.


Disclosure: CCP Games is covering travel and lodging expenses for one Road to VR writer to attend Fanfest 2015.
