Barrel rolls, probably the most dangerous two buttons on the controller if you’re sensitive to motion sickness in virtual reality, are the two bumpers. Speed is increased with the A-button, and slowing down is the B-button. Main weapon is bound to the right trigger, with the secondary weapon tied to the left. The left stick is used to navigate up, down, left, and right. Once one carrier’s Clone Vat is empty the other team wins.Ĭontrolling a ship in Eve: Valkyrie should be familiar to anyone that plays flight combat games. Each team gets a carrier that they spawn from, which has a set number of clones its “Clone Vats” can hold (which represent your team’s lives). The first mode CCP Games loaded up for us was a basic 5-vs.-5 team deathmatch. I’m sure this is nice and all, but let’s get to the cool shit: the gameplay itself.
Ship exteriors and interiors cab be custom as well, with a variety of paint jobs, decals, panels, instrument consoles, and flight sticks, that are also unlocked through experience points. This makes it possible to run a Fighter loadout that may have more Heavy-like assets, or visa versa. You can tweak and modify these classes can with a variety of unlocks and a tech tree of ship blueprints, which you earn with experience points. Friendly players that enter the web get a small boost to their health amounts and shields. If an opposing vehicle does enter the web, robot spiders will attach themselves to it and start pulling the ship apart. The first Support ship has shield heal/drain weapon and a weird web-mine that makes sections of the map uninhabitable for enemy ships. These are the weakest of the three when it comes to taking damage, but they are extremely fast and maneuverable. This class contains weapons that repair friendlies and drain enemies.
Support is probably the most complicated of the ship types. The starting Heavy contains a sort of space shotgun cannon and a warp drive that is Eve’s take on a dash mechanic (except you have to charge it first). These vehicles are slow but sport durable armor and weapons that do a ton of damage. When I want more firepower and armor, the Heavy ships are my go-to ships. The default Fighter has a Gatling gun on the right trigger and a missile launcher on the left trigger. These ships are capable of many styles of play, but the trade-off is that they don’t necessarily specialize in anything, either, flying around with armor and weapons that are mostly middle of the road. They’re quick, highly maneuverable, and aggressive. Ships in Eve: Valkyrie are in three major classes: Fighter, Heavy, and Support.įighters are the well-rounded combat jets of Eve: Valkyrie. Once inside, I suddenly appeared inside of a ship hangar, which allowed me to check out several different vehicles. Each participant sat in front of a massive gaming rig PC, whose specs I couldn’t quite scope out, with an Oculus Rift headset and a Xbox One controller attached.Īfter a lot of awkward fumbling around with the Oculus Rift headset, everyone was finally in the world of Eve: Valkyrie. The group of media at this Eve: Valkyrie session split into two teams of five.
