Out of the Launch Tube EVE: Valkyrie News - MMORPG.com
Just over a month ago, EVE: Valkyrie launched on the Oculus Rift. At EVE FanFest, we sat down with Lead Designer Andrew Willans to look at what they've learned, how the community's developed, and what's coming up in the next year.

sad CCP Games isnt what it used to be. even eveonline isnt what it was or could had been. (ive played it for 4.5 years.)
Once again, CCP shows they have the business sense of a retarded wombat.

We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open. FEAR THE OLD BLOOD.

They continually release games that go against their established player base and against their own best interest.
They announced DUST and a huge cheer went up cause finally we were gonna get to play an FPS on the planets existing in the EVE universe. Then they announced it would be a Playstation exclusive... so fuck all of you loyal PC MMO gamers who have spent thousands on powerful video cards, multiple monitor setups for each account and basically centered their lives around the PC. Nope, F you right in the anal canal cause we're gonna give it to the consolers.
Then they announce something that we've all truly been waiting for. A PC dogfighting game where we can actually play as the fighters that we launch from our carriers in EVE. Then they announce that it will be 100% tied to a piece of hardware that costs $700 USD and no one knows what the shelf life of this crap will be. So lets just exclude the majority of our player base by tying to it a gimmicky gadget.
Anyone with real business sense, would understand that you want to sell as many copies of anything you create as humanly possible. This means that you don't want console exclusives. You don't want gimmicky gadget exclusives. You want games that play on every system ever created, even a toaster with a monitor if you can help it. If you find one guy in Paraguay with a goddamn N64, then you find a way to get him to play your game.
But no, they keep doing these exclusive and cutting their own purse strings every time they do it. Blows my mind.
Bad move.
I've been bored with it since the 2nd week. Idiots should have stuck with WoD.
They repeatedly alienate their player bases by doing the opposite of what people want. And it wasn't droves of players who showed up. It was droves of people who would love to play the game but don't have the cash to shell out for the extra hardware needed to play their open beta. Which is what this buggy mess plays like.

As for the OP what a crock of shit.....more trash that no one will play aside from a select few sad part is a ton of people like myself would love to play it but alas I refuse to spend 600+$ on a device that is pretty much 1st gen and to boot you need about a 1000$ CPU & GPU not counting ram and other crap. I will be very surprised if this lasts longer than a few more months before they shut it down or convert to normal controls used by a very large percentage of the average joe gamers. More cool ideas from ccp with just a train wreck of an execution.
Personal Computer?? Its a fad, a "gimmick", only a handful of people will ever buy one!...
Very few people are going to spend extra money on one of those video card "gimmicks"!...
VR headset?? Its a fad, a "gimmick"!...
VR is still in the early adopter phase. Of course its still relatively expensive, all of that R&D, not to mention production isn't cheap. But by the time the second (not to mention third) generation of headsets come out, the price will start dropping.
Most people who actually try it, want more of the experience. Now that technology has finally developed to the point that its practical, all that remains is to get the price point down, and some high quality applications available.
