PC only I'm afraid :) To get the required performance on Mac we'd have to go deep into OpenGL ES or something like that. This makes me rather sad Other than that. what kind of interaction with Eve assets/concepts can we expect? IE familiar ships we can expect to see in game. (I want to shoot a Drake) Any news on game modes? Just dogfighting other fighters or shooting ships, drones, structures? Please give VR structure bashes. Can you warp? Structure bashes? Like it isn't boring enough in Eve...
Well this could also be a way to tie valk into eve. Say my alliance, Alliance A is invading Alliance B. The day before, or even during the invation, I send out a call to valk pilots to help. They then get a game mode for system xxx and have to do an attack/defend something. if the attackers win, and like oh idk, destroy a shield generator, then the RF timer for all stuctuers in system is reduced by 50% or something. And if the Defenders win, then nothing changes except I am locked out from running tha same mode again for a few days. So you get an advantage to use valk in this way.
This would work with a capture the flag type came too, but like 'first team to hack this structure wins."

I believe it would be a game changer for every hardcore gamer.
The only thing I'm not 100% ok with is: if there would be a 4k version of the rift, I want it on retail launch dates, not having to upgrade or get a new one 10 months later.
Would Valkyrie run in 4k? Also, what about the latency?
Latency is a non-issue anymore, its basically 0ms perceived latency now :)
Even if hardware manufacturers can fit 4k displays into a VR HMD there are other issues that creep up. One is the bandwidth needed for that resolution at 90-120Hz.. The HDMI standard in pretty much all video cards today simply won't handle that.
Another one is the graphical power needed to render all those pixels. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be happy if we set the top next-gen AMD/NVidia card as a minimum requirement? :)

I can't believe HDMI is still around. Fortunate for the Rift, that there's such availability of parts.
Karuck you're speaking my language! If people stopped to look at HDMI's limitations, they'd be shocked.

I have looked thru this and haven't seen this question addressed --
On the PC version of the game have you identified the OS version for your minimum and recommended? The same question for both the CPU & Memory requirements?
CCP's sand box is EVE Online. The sand is owned by CCP. We pay them a monthly fee to throw the sand at each other. That is all that is here, so move along. Nothing more to be seen.

Thanks! It sounds like DP 1.3 could handle 4k VR then :) But 1.3 was only announced last September and I'm not aware of any video cards that support it.
So yeah, there are many practical limitations why 4K VR is tricky to do for consumers :)

We haven't announced any OS or hardware specs yet. It's kind of hard when we don't know 100% the specs yet for the VR devices we are supporting :)
But it will probably be along the lines of Windows 7+, DirectX 11 video card etc.

You could tell us what you're developing/testing on, with a wink and a nudge that such information has absolutely no relevance to what the specs will be...
I'm waiting for that closed Valkyrie beta, seems a shame to own a DK2 and not be using it for good. |

Honestly, you wont want to. Having played the demo several times, the VR headset is ESSENTIAL to play the game properly. There is simply no other way to have full 360 degree visibility at the speed the game plays. The entire gamplay is built around using a VR headset. That doesnt mean it needs to be an occulus rift, but flat screen monitors are not going to work.

Okay, then how about comparing the mandatory purchase of new hardware to play this game to the controller for the original Steel Battalion? Bad choice, CCP. |

That was one kickass controller! But not very practical since it was only for one game ;) We fully believe VR will be huge in a few years, it will have more of an impact than people initially think.

Even that information isn't relevant since we haven't finished optimizing the game :) But we're running on very high end machines, most of us with a 980GTX, 780Ti or top of the line AMD cards.
The demands VR places on development is interesting. The game NEEDS to run at a stable 75 (higher soon) to be comfortable, so we have already done optimizations we would normally save until later.. but are far from done with those.

Why do you think i'm getting an Omni-Treadmill to go with the Occ, and maybe even a gun controller for Legion :v

The Omni is interesting yes, but personally I don't believe it's good enough. How humans sense walking is a very complex process we are attuned to, and sliding along something just doesn't cut it.. IMHO :)

Been there, done that. Remember Quake on VR headset that was a thing, never picked up, VR has been a niche product for last 20 years it improved greatly in spec but still is far away from being THE THING, will not be purchasing the -ú100+ kit for one game, I still don't understand why this game will be available on this one particular model of VR. |

Maybe it's VR's time....I know when certain patents expire awesome jumps in technology happen. Perhaps something finally expired years ago to allow the use of a technology that finally can be mass produced and researched without legal issues.
I'm sure people are betting on the fact that if you're interested, you WILL buy it to play. Much like how we all have computers and game consoles already. or spent $200 on a flight stick/throttle to play FreeSpace because I can't imagine trying to play that game on a mouse. |

It's not just the technology. CCP's target audience includes guys like me, mid-30's with a couple kids and a dog. I can't play a game that doesn't let me take my eyes off the screen. The house would burn down in minutes. |

You know, you could easily solve this problem with an own VR for the kids and the dog (with probably enough other stuff to burn down :-D). |

then don't play?
have a kid, wife, father in law and cats, still going to buy a rift the day its out and valk as well. According to CCP, at least in one interview Valk is suppose to be a quick session game, as in you jump on for 20 min and jump off. But who knows.

Couple of questions I have thought of:
1. Will Valkyrie have an offline mode?
2.a: Is there a single player mode of the game (other than the tutorial) ? b: If so, what form will it take? Missions? or Player vs. Bots?

As somebody that is probably getting the VIVE rather than the Rift, this is EXTREMELY disappointing. Now we have to worry not only about exclusiveness in PC vs Console, but the HMD side as well? This sort of fragmentation is not going to help VR adoption at all. |
