there hasnt been a atmospheric flight prototype what so ever

LOL at the hyper serious morons in this thread.

If CCP is getting some of these you can be sure it won't be for watching spaceships. Just want to say I got the allusion from BunnyVirus, even if no one else did.

Mr Epeen

As a paying customer, who does indeed pay for future updates to the game, I have every right to question what they develop for EVE.

If it's a joke, maybe you can enlighten those of us who aren't privy to some kind of inside thing. Because all I read was an EVE dev saying they got kits but won't tell us what they're going to do with them.

When a developer says kit, I assume development kit.
If it's for dust, that's fine. If it's for WoD, that's cool too.

But this isn't the dust or the WoD forums, and this thread is about being able to use a silly monitor visor with EVE; not dust or WoD.

And yeah, I'm one those guys that's been waiting almost a decade for WiS to actually get finished, and I'd be a little pissed if they were like "oh hey guys, no WiS, but now you can play EVE with a bunch of **** strapped to your face, yay!"

This sort of stuff doesn't improve EVE, add anything new to the game, or help it attract more people.

Great news that CCP is receiving some kits. Oculus Rift looks like it's gonna be a game changer in video games, with low latency, fast refreshing screens and 110 degrees field of view. Would love to be able to look around in any direction and feel fully immersed in space while I'm playing Eve.

Don't be such a luddite.

There always has been and will be large interest in VR.

If they ever get it working (where it doesn't hurt your eyes) and can produce it at a reasonble cost, it will sell like hotcakes sprinkled with ******* (Dr Roxo's favorite drug).

Besides its not as if they are spending a large portion of their budget on the project. What a few goggles and the dev kit? The tracking code is probaly already created by the OEM. They just need to plug it in to EVE current code.

Its not going to kill WIS but spending maybe two employees time on it in their off time.

people can't see what you're watching but they can still see what you're touching

what you gonna use it for 3d while you watch youtube as your mack runs cycles afk? spreadsheets in 3d?
gonna make the red crosses and white squares be all 3d and shiznit? not effin likely, take this 90s technologies and keep it away with my space-zork i call EVE, nerd

Prototype something that never makes it into the game.

Hate to say, but I got a feeling that's spot on.

How's WiS, station exploration, and atmospheric flight coming along?



Not to be a ****, but really...
You guys shelve actual content but will get kits for some rediculous stuff that even fewer people will ever use, and adds nothing to the overal game.

Not going to lie, it annoys the hell out of me.

All of that reminds me of the Virtual Boy... and as an owner of a Virtual Boy, it fills me with a fair bit of dread.

Also, it reminds me of the .Hack series, which started off awesome, but has been getting a bit squidggedly as of late.

It was the demo that was shown at a fanfest many years ago.

Isn't that the same thing as a prototype?

Not sure where to put this but I was wondering if you guys at CCP were looking into the Oculus Rift, a new and innovative way to game that allows the user to delve into the gaming experience in a much better way then your normal monitor/television.


[u][i]"Here's the skinny on the Oculus Rift: it's a headset that covers your eyes with a 720p screen. There are two lenses in front of your eyes, and the screen shows a left and right stereo image that the lenses pipe through to your eyeballs, creating an immersive 3D virtual reality experience.

well it seems CCP was interested in this the entire time ;P check out the fanfest streams
