There are a number of 8v8 mission types across a few spacey locales – like asteroid belts, another with wrecked spaceships. It’s rewarding too, as my first online kill had me exuberantly pumping my first in the air like somebody from a 90’s hype commercial. While you’ll use the DualShock to great effect to pilot and throttle your ship and fire off your canons, you’ll use your gaze to lock on to targets for firing missiles at them, giving you another set of axes that you control with your face.Īnd it really is exhilarating, with a really fluid combat that’s exceptionally good at convincing your brain that you are genuinely moving. This sort of seated cockpit experience is actually perfect for VR – and it’s more than just a visual thing, adding a gameplay benefit. It’s surreal, looking at your own shoulders in VR, staring at the cockpit and looking out in to space. In your first games, you’ll be paired up with real players and tasked with bringing down a team of enemy pilots. It’s really all about the multiplayer here. It’s really quite a shame, as the game would benefit from a lengthy, narrative-driven campaign. There is, unfortunately, not too much else to do in single player beyond what the game calls “ Chronicles” – a bit of training for the different classes of ships available.

It takes about 20 minutes to play through, and ends just as it’s about to become really interesting – with you, dying in a fiery mass. When you first boot up the game, you get to run through your own demise as a single player tutorial mission. It’s a neat way to both cheat death and narratively frame the fact that you’ll be dying and respawning a heck of a lot. You’re a clone of a pilot who died during some great big space battle – with your consciousness uploaded to a new clone whenever you die. In it, you play as a cloned pilot working for a space pirate gang called Valkyrie.

As its full name suggests, it’s set within the EVE universe but eschews that game’s complicated economies to deliver a pretty simple, but very effective, arcade dogfighting game. Eve: Valkyrie in VR makes those dreams real. A recent resurgence, by way of games like Elite Dangerous (and eventually, Star Citizen) have reignited those dreams – but that’s what they remain. Then, for whatever reason, games of that sort fell out of favour and began making way for the rise of the first person shooter. It’s something that was probably compounded when they booted up Wing Commander in the early 90’s, and doubly so by the X-wing and Tie Fighter games later in that decade. Survival is Eve Valkyrie’s wave mode, pitting you against an ever-increasing army of ships, while Training allows you to get to grips with the controls against A.I., and includes obstacles courses to hone your flight skills.For many people, the dream of being a space-bound fighter pilot has been instilled in them since they first saw the Death Star run in Star Wars. Scout mode allows you to explore across all the maps without a threat from enemies, and will drop other nuggets of information to build on the game’s backstory. While Recall focuses on the game’s main story-line with narrative-based missions, it also serves as a tutorial for Valkyrie’s multiplayer combat. The studio has also lifted the lid on the single-player portion of Eve: Valkyrie which consists of four different game modes: Recall, Scout, Survival and Training.

As part of that process we’ve helped to define some of VR best practices that are ensuring a deeper immersion and greater sense of presence,” reads the CCP post on the PlayStation blog. We’ve balanced and tuned our ships and abilities with help from a very active community of players. We’ve learned a lot about what works (and what doesn’t) in VR.

“Since March 2016 we’ve been refining and updating our combat to make it as intuitive, comfortable, and edge-of-your-seat thrilling as possible.
