The cockpits in "EVE: Valkyrie" are rendered in loving detail, no matter which way you look around the cockpit.

In the demo, I controlled the action with a standard Microsoft Xbox 360 controller, plugged in to a Windows PC, while I wore the Oculus Rift headset. Every inch is rendered in loving detail, just furthering the space pilot fantasy. Thanks to virtual reality, you get a good look inside of your ship, no matter which way you turn. The important part is that the game uses virtual reality to teleport you into the cockpit of a starfighter, "Star Wars"-style. From there, your major goal is to shoot the living heck out of other spaceships, using a combination of missiles, guns, and other exotic weaponry. But as cool as those demos were, and as fun as some of the games and experiences were, I never really gave much thought to the possibility of actually ever buying virtual reality.īut "EVE: Valkyrie," which I tried in a demo organized by developer CCP Games last week, is the first virtual reality game I've ever played where I came out of the demo thinking "Okay, yeah, I could play this every night for a while." The Right Stuffįacebook has been using "EVE: Valkyrie" to show off the capabilities of the Oculus Rift headset for some time now, and it's no wonder why - it's visually stunning. See, I've had the chance, over the last few months, to get plenty of hands-on time with the Oculus Rift and competing HTC Vive VR headset. Which, it turns out, is really good news, because "EVE: Valkyrie" is a lot of fun - and the best sales pitch for virtual reality I've seen yet.

Today, Oculus VR, the virtual reality company owned by Facebook, announced that when you finally buy an Oculus Rift headset next year, it'll come with a copy of the eye-popping spacefighter simulator "EVE: Valkyrie."
