Once you get to grips with using the Oculus Rift to look around and the controller to line up laser shots youвЂ™ll find yourself chasing one enemy like a terrier, firing off laser blasts and tracking their flight path, all the while moving your head around to check for additional threats or to fire missiles at another bogey. But itвЂ™s not until you brain switches to understanding that the screen in front of you is not static that Valkyrie comes to life. As your ship also comes packing some powerful front-firing lasers this isnвЂ™t an altogether bad tactic. This means you invariably attempt to get into position by putting the the enemy in a direct line with the front your ship. You often forget you can move your field of vision around and end up looking forward. Initially, using the virtual reality headset to track is a little odd. The longer you have the enemy in your sights the more missiles you can send screaming after them, up to a maximum of five. While you dodge and weave your ship through space using your controller you simultaneously use your head to track enemies and fire lock-on missiles. You can follow enemy ships as they fly past by moving your head, keeping them in sight and therefore locked-on. The gameplay is deeply integrated with the RiftвЂ™s tracking.

It not just the encompassing visuals that make EVE: Valkyrie so special. Play EVE: Valkyrie yourself, though, and youвЂ™ll be doing exactly the same thing, any hint of embarrassment dispelled by the uniqueness of the experience. Seeing players staring at the back of their chairs with the Rift on their head and a look of jaw-dropping awe on their faces is comical from the outside. The effect of looking at the rear of the empty spaceship is impressive. The cockpit is all around you and, as you wait for blast off parked impatiently in the hanger, you can look behind you.

Originally launched for Microsoft Windows for use with the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, CCP Games has announced they plan to enable cross-platform play between the three major VR systems: the Oculus Rift, the HTC Vive, and the PlayStation VR. Look down and there are your pilotвЂ™s legs, as if your own. Eve: Valkyrie is a multiplayer dogfighting shooter game set in the Eve Online universe that is designed to use virtual reality headset technology. The Oculus Rift acts like an all-encompassing 3D monitor, taking over your entire field of vision.

Both Project Morpheus for the PS4 and the Oculus Rift for the PC are compatible, although we only got a chance to play using the latter. The graphics are good, but the thing that really makes EVE: Valkyrie stand out from the crowd is that virtual reality is at the core of its gameplay. It has since been rebuilt using the Frostbite 4 engine, of Battlefield 4 fame, and this means that ships, pilots, explosions and the vastness of space look sumptuous and detailed.

It looked good enough, although some of the graphics вЂ“ in particular the pilot you played as вЂ“ were a little basic. Early in the year I played a version of EVE: Valkyrie based on the Frostbite 3 engine.
