During Fanfest 2013, a group of our developers who had assembled with a mutual interest in Oculus Rift's technology demonstrated a project that they had been working on in their spare time: EVE-VR.
What started out as a massive hit internally within CCP soon became the star of the show at our 10th Anniversary Fanfest in April.
CCP Karuck is here with a dev blog today, to explain a little more about EVE-VR, where it originated and where it might go in future.
Read all about it in his new dev blog, here. CCP Falcon -á || -á EVE Community Team -á || -á EVE Illuminati -á || -á Live Events Organizer

Awesome, I'm in one of the pictures.
It was a fantastic experience. Eve lends itself so well to the Oculus.
A huge thanks to everyone involved with the development for the fun had. I lost track how many times we went on it. |

As a Fanfest attendee and having a hands-on experience of this I just wana say one thing:
I beg you - finish it up and release, I already made plans for buying an Oculus Rift device and upgrading my PC (well, PC needs upgrading anyway, but I'll be beefing it up a notch from the original plans).
I rest my case, as all the ideas I had I had delivered to you on site :) |

Trust me i was their and people including myself was offering to give all my money for this! Dont know this if ever will be implemented or released but my god was it so much fun! i remember getting so into it i was getting a tad vocal at each kill. The motion detection was top notch as well, looking behind and seeing the pilot seat and down and seeing my feet was awesome! The lock on missile idea was brilliant, looking at a target to achieve lock on was so immersive. I want to play it again right now! haha

"Shut up and take my money" is not enough to say how good this looks.....
Please, release it as a stand-alone game, with match-up servers for multiplay and let us fly fighters as a pilot in navy fleets of the empire or pirate factions (facing each other) on undercover missions or something.
Add some "achievements" steam-style and you are golden! |

Add some "achievements" steam-style and you are golden! This would only work as a stand-alone game. The EVE servers are incapable of handling the kind of twitch gameplay that EVE-VR requires, and even if they could it's just completely incompatible with EVE on its own because a game couldn't start until a carrier pilot launches fighters, carrier pilots couldn't really control their own fighters the way they do now, etc.

taking bets on how many years this will be delayed and will still be broken when it gets released ?
One might think with announcements like this you didnt burn something every other expansion. its such a shame really, this would have been cool if done right. But we all know you wont. Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

Was reading your EVE-VR project and looks to be fun. I am wondering if the system might be able to come up with a joystick for control instead of the controller device is has now? Perhaps two, one for movement and firing and the other for speed? Something like the old fighting jet games in arcades.
Then you could pull of some amazing flying in the VR world to break locks and such. Perhaps I am dreaming but I would love the feeling that would bring.
I think it would feel a lot more real to go with a joystick control instead of a controller and interested if that would be possible? Even in the picture of the cockpit you are holding controls. Probably a lot harder to do buy maybe worth it.
Still, looks fun! Chin in the air with a head held high, I'll stand in the path of the enemy line. Feel no fear, know my pride.

awesome start! and wish you lots of success with it!
I am sure you guys at CCP are already having tons of ideas on how you could use it, I hope it will turn into a big venture like DUST 514 integrated in EVE.
One thing though, I hope the gameplay will be significantly deeper and more complex than just chasing a red dot and shooting with 1 of two lasers.
this concept doesn't have to be exclusive to fighters, there are tons of possibilities.

I am totally blown away by this and hope we will see it in one form or another in EVE soon! I'd love to see World of Darkness have Oculus Rift compatibility also!

I totally agree with you and prefer joysticks myself :) The controller was just much easier to bring to Fanfest. Rest assured that if something happens with this project I will personally make sure that joysticks will be supported. I'm also looking into new alternative controls for VR , playing around with the Razer Hydra and LEAP Motion. - Senior Web Developer / EVE-VR dev / @SiggiGG |

Yep. I was lucky enough to play this at FF also.
I just want to +rep all the developers who worked on this. It was a very successful mini game and an excellent demo of the potential behind occulus. WTB : An image in my signature |

There is no link to this comments thread in the blog. Intentional?
When I played this at Fanfest it was awesome. Tying the missile lock to the head tracking was the best thing you all could have done to make a true VR experience. Let's see this thing plugged into Eve somehow! ONE UNIVERSE ONE WAR!
CCP and Eve Online are going to have to compete with Star Citizen soon too...
edit: I wanted to say more things. |

Of course :) We had to scope things down to be very simple since this was built for a 3-minute demo at Fanfest. During those 3 minutes people needed to be able to get into the game and enjoy it. Not much time to get oriented and learn deeper mechanics.
We had loads of ideas we had to drop.. other weapon system, missile jammers/counter-measures, more complex space scene, jumping a Titan in mid-fight and blowing up the losing faction's carrier etc. Then we'd probably go into customization, fittings etc.
