There’s still no word on when the Oculus Rift will be released for consumers, but EVE: Valkyrie seems to have established itself as the gold-standard for showing off what the hardware can do. Much like the Latency Tester, these guidelines are meant to ensure that gamers can enjoy a consistently polished experience once VR content becomes accessible to a wider audience. In short, it’s a standardized set of suggested rules that are aimed at helping developers as they take their first steps toward creating virtual reality content. The Best Practices Guide is simpler to explain. The Latency Tester, in turn, enables developers to take a quantitative measure of this blurring effect. This is a huge contributor to the dizziness/nausea that many feel when spending time in VR. In simple terms, if the latency of the Rift’s head-tracking is too high, you get a distinct blurring effect as the in-game image attempts to catch up with itself when you move your head.
Latency is a big stumbling block that must be overcome before products like the Oculus Rift can come to market.
Confirmation from Oculus of the publishing deal is also joined by more developer-centric news, specifically the release of a Latency Tester and a Best Practices Guide for VR development. The show’s theme – “the new golden age of gaming” – fits right in alongside the in-development VR headset, which promises to shake up the way many of us think about games in the coming years. The news was announced as part of CCP’s joint presence with Oculus VR at the 2014 D.I.C.E. It’s not a tremendous surprise, given the groundswell of excitement that’s built around the game once known as EVE-VR. There’s still no release date, for either the consumer headset or the game, but CCP’s Newcastle studio is working full-time on turning Valkyrie into more than the tech demo it was born as. Oculus VR has struck a co-publishing deal with EVE Online and Dust 514 developer CCP Games that means lots of different things, but most notable for gamers is the fact that space dogfighting sim EVE: Valkyrie is now confirmed as an Oculus Rift exclusive.

The post EVE: Valkyrie Will Be Free With Oculus Rift Pre-Orders appeared first on VRFocus. VRFocus will be providing plenty of coverage on both EVE: Valkyrie and the Oculus Rift in the run up to launch next year, including a hands-on preview of a brand new build coming later today. EVE: Valkyrie itself will also be arriving on the PlayStation VR HMD on PlayStation 4, though it’s yet to be revealed when this version will launch. That’s what fans can expect to use to pilot their craft as they take part in multiplayer battles. Obviously, this confirms the title will be a launch experience for the Oculus Rift, which will also come bundled with an Xbox One controller. Battling your friends (and enemies) in multiplayer space dogfights is the ultimate VR thrill, and we’re excited to partner with CCP to bring this experience to Rift owners everywhere.” It perfectly captures the promise of immersive gaming, shooting you into a sci-fi adventure as you pilot a spaceship in search of combat. Since that time, the title has become something of a poster child for VR and a staple showcase for the tech at a wide range of events.Ĭreator of the Oculus Rift, Palmer Luckey himself, had this to say of the news: “ EVE: Valkyrie is one of the most anticipated virtual reality games, and one of the first true VR games to go into development. This continues a long history of cooperation between Oculus VR and CCP Games that began back in 2013 when EVE: Valkyrie was first revealed for the Oculus Rift and said to be co-published by Oculus VR on PC.

Today, CCP Games is finally revealing how it will release at least some copies of the title, namely as a free bonus for those that pre-order the Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD) in the future.īoth the company and Oculus VR have confirmed that, when early orders for the PC-based kit finally open at an undisclosed time, those that take part will get a full copy of the experience. While it’s easy to see the online dogfighting videogame releasing as a full premium product, this isn’t the route that the developer traditionally takes. There’s been a lot of discussion as to how CCP Games, best known for its popular EVE Online massively multiplayer online (MMO) title, will distribute its upcoming virtual reality (VR) spin-off, EVE: Valkyrie.
