EVE Valkyrie Coming To PS VR This Tuesday With Cross Platform Play

CCP Games VR exclusive space shooter Eve Valkyrie  is going to be released as a console exclusive for PlayStation VR this coming Tuesday.

Lol! It's the only console with VR. Of course it's exclusive.

Can't wait. Eve looks cool.

It's available for Oculus and Vive.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Title sentences say console exclusive. There are no other consoles with VR. It's a default win when no one else is competing to have it released on their system. I'm aware it's on PC.

[Ju]

Oh my. Splitting hair here. How can it be otherwise cross play if it isn't available on other "platforms" (this includes the PC).

[KillZallthebeast]

No he is right actually according to arguments made by xbox and sony fans for their exclusives randomly.

[Z501]

"Console exclusive"

[freshslicepizza]

it's a windows exclusive (no steam version yet), so does that mean sony will allow cross play if it ever comes to project scorpio?

[ApocalypseShadow]

Come back in a year when you're able to buy it and tell us since you are so concerned and have to wait.

[Ju]

Didn't know, MS has already announced a VR solution for their yet to be demonstrated and then to be released console...

[rainslacker]

You seem to want MS to run before they have even given birth. Maybe wait until they actually reveal Scorpio, and say what they're going to do with VR instead of worrying if it'll have cross play. As of right now, MS is pretty non-committal on the VR front, and if you are interested in VR, that would be a more pressing concern than if Sony will allow cross platform play with Xbox for a title that will be over a year old by the time Scorpio releases. Sony couldn't possibly commit to such a thing with Eve right now, because it's not even known if it will even be on Scorpio.

@rainslacker

we all know scorpio will support vr, they didn't have todd howard during the video reveal talk about fallout 4 and needing the extra power to do vr properly for nothing. and dont excuse sony for not being able to commit right now for eve when we all know they have been stalling for years. nintendo gave full support for a game called pure chess anc others have now come out such as the developers of rocket league for xbox one-pc-ps4 cross play.

[rainslacker]

Wait....MS stalls for a whole generation, and into a new one, and now that Sony hasn't responded to a few requests for the past year or so, Sony is stalling?

Man, you really are trying to hard to change the historical narrative on all this.

Anyhow, my point is, MS has shown no commitment to VR beyond an announcement that Scorpio will support VR. They have tried to take focus away from Sony's VR offering when they showed off Halolens and Minecraft. They ignored VR until Sony was gaining steam with what they had to offer, then they came out with some option. But, then Phil goes on to say they aren't convinced that VR is the future, and that they have no plans to support it directly, but basically said they have it there for those that want it, and devs can use it if they wish.

Personally, if you're that interested in cross play for Eve, as you seem to imply in your original post, maybe it'd be more prudent to get more commitment from MS about their plans and ambitions for VR in the first place. Because as it stands, all I can see is people buying a more expensive headset just so they can play it on consoles, but they won't have anywhere near the same software support.

Cross play with Sony and it's VR offerings would be the least of my concerns for what MS has so far offered up for their future of VR.

"Come back in a year when you're able to buy it and tell us since you are so concerned and have to wait."

maybe by then sony will finally get around to addressing whether they actually support crossplay with other consoles or not.

Funny you say other consoles when everyone knows your talking about Xbone. 😅😂

are you starting to get it yet?

[Stapleface]

Think they meant Thursday..but regardless I can't wait to get my PsVR and try this out.

[maybelovehate]

This was my most anticipated Oculus game. But I didn't like it at all. Pretty boring.

[ArchangelMike]

Did it give you motion sickness? I've been watching some vids, and it looks like it could induce motion sickness.

[maybelovehate]

A little bit but not as bad as the racing games haha. It just isn't very fun. Getting a fan and flight stick helped make it feel a little more immersive but it still just didn't feel very real. And in MP all the best players just do the exact same patterns which are almost impossible to counter so you have to join in the big circle with them which is not fun at all.

[ApocalypseShadow]

That sounds like this space game I played on my tablet. The enemies kept flying in a loop which was nonsense trying to kill them on the higher levels.

It was a cool game for what it was but I just stopped playing it.

I played the demo for about 15 minutes. Didn't feel anything. And I did quite some rotations. You can do 360dgr with that game.

[ShadowKnight]

This game is awesome on the Oculus Rift

[MasterCornholio]

I didn't know it had cross-play.

That's very nice.
