EVE: Valkyrie is coming to PS4, Oculus exclusive deal only aplies to the PC version
- Thread starter Killthee
- Start date
I'm glad for you
Hang on, the announcement trailer says this will release in 2014.
Does that not mean we're guaranteed that at least OR or Morpheus will release this year?
That trailer was made a while ago, when most assumed that OR would be hitting in 2014. I'm not sure I'd classify 2014 as 'guaranteed' - I think that's hugely unlikely for Morpheus, and perhaps also for OR - but I'm sure Valkyrie will be available at the launch of both units.
It's not even exclusive on PC, I wish I could find that quote from the other day.
It's exclusive by default, because no one else is going to be in the market when the Rift launches. It's more like Oculus are co-marketing as the must-play launch title I think.
I'm one of the biggest space-shooter/opera fans in the world ^_^
Sucked that it was a "dead genre" in the last years (decade).
But now, with VR / Project Morpheus...... DAMN!
This could be the glorious comeback of the space shooters/operas !!!!!
"Exclusive for Oculus" means that EVE Valkyrie will not be playable on ordinary PC monitors. As of now it looks that Sony will not target PCs.

So far from the 3 space simulation games
Eve announced for PS4, Star Citizen possibly coming, nothing yet from Elite Dangerous.

Space Shooters and Horror are both making a big comeback with VR. My favorite genres.
dude I love sci-fi I love shooters/opera haven't played a lot of them most of them are on PC but Colony wars or rogue leader were amazing I need more of this on console
Ok, that makes sense. So Oculus just helping them out, basically.
Sounds good!

Interesting that this is going to have VR support on PS4. Looks like Sony is pushing VR early.
Super excited for it, anyways. It will probably make me buy a 2nd/3rd gen Rift.

Here's the quote I was looking for:

Seems like if you don't lean towards Rift, sooner or later any other PC VR system will be support, Rift are just first because they're first.

Seems very cool, did Sony hint at release date for the PS unit? My initial reaction is that it is still a long way from release.
Nope, just 'as soon as possible', but I'd wager 2015.
Something tells me they want more feedback before locking in a target release window, hence this GDC intro. If their assumptions need revising based on feedback that could put a schedule out of kilter.
i am surprised how complete it looks though - it looks like showcase device, not developers kit... it might be coming end 2014. And it doesnt need huge launch, doesnt need billion games at launch.

Other 2 should get on PS4 too. Esp SC made lot of money.
I agree to the extent that depending on dev/user feedback, it might be software support that pushes it out to 2015. The design does already look quite usable although I guess we'll get first hand impressions of comfort later.
I think the star citizen guys said they would only even consider it if Sony were to not dumb it down. The want a ton of peripheral, joysticks etc to be usable

Hasn't Sony been okay with pretty much any peripheral working with the their consoles? Of course it'd be up to that studio to get those companies to make the drivers that would make a flight stick compatible with the PS4.

Damn that looks good, had zero interest in VR until this one, might have to pick one up now, sorry XBox One, I'll most likely choose the VR headset over your Kinect lol.

This is the first time I've heard about this game...
Now I want it in my veins....

No, they said they'd consider it if they're allowed instant updates (no certification) for the cross-platform multiplayer aspect. That hasn't yet been done on a console before, even Sony's own studios (SOE) are forced to have separate servers due to cert.
Valkyrie is a space combat game, not simulation. The other games simulate a living universe, Valkyrie is basically MP combat arenas. There's also Enemy Starfighter and No Man's Sky.

So... can this be played without the VR?
I like the idea of a new space shooter, but not one that'll require an expensive peripheral to play.
However many times you fail, you should always keep trying.
I'd have thought someone with a post history like yours would understand this

Not likely, it sounds like they've designed it for head-tracking to be a necessity.

Not sure, but it doing 2 screens - one is people who can watch on monitor/HDTV showing the overall battle view, and the other screen for headset. Both are not same pictures.

Can't believe they wasted time on Dust releasing it on the PS3 at the end of it's life cycle.
Ya this isn't really surprising. Early on they wouldn't even confirm the platform it would be on.

Deffo, I believe it will support Sensics Panoramic VR Headset too.
EVE models are damned polished but they're designed for an RTS level of detail and the textures don't really hold up at close range.
I was going to say the Valkyrie fighters looked a little big compared to that Archon model. In EVE they scale together well.
