Today at EVE Fanfest in Iceland, with cruel delight, CCP Games unleashed the Oculus Rift EVR experience on the attending, mostly hungover, EVE Online players. I wrote yesterday about my personal experience but here are some photos and screenshots of the experience which is causing excitement and nausea in equal measure.
The cockpit is fully realised, with animated limbs you have to keep reminding yourself you can’t control.
Exiting the launch tube straight into the fray, the enemy supercarrier is dead ahead.
Incoming missiles can be dodged with some stomach-churning evasive maneouvers.
Laser cannons are fixed forward-facing, but the blue missile reticule is linked directly to head movement.
Surprisingly, there have been no reports of vomiting, but there are lots of disoriented, grinning EVE players stumbling around the Harpa conference centre.
