Head tracking is also used to select menu items. The majority of the weapons use head tracking and as you prepare for launch looking around moves the guns in the direction your looking. Look down and you have the ship’s controls in hand. There’s holographic images showing different statuses and as you look all around it feels very mechanical and industrial. When you’re sitting in the cockpit it feels like you are in an actual space ship. When it comes to looks EVE: Valkyrie is fairly impressive. The three modes are accompanied by just five maps, and while they all have a unique look about them with their own hazards it does mean you’ll see what the game has to offer rather quickly, outside of new ships and upgrades. It makes you feel a little bit like Luke Skywalker, guiding his X-Wing towards the Death Star. Once the weak points are dealt with the carrier’s core becomes exposed and to destroy it you need fly through a trench while firing at the core. This requires you being able to move quickly and it is quite thrilling flying towards the carrier while dodging incoming fire as you hit the weak points. That will go down for a limited time and it is during that window of opportunity you are required to strike weak points while evading the opposing fighters as well as the carrier’s turrets.

This match comes in stages where you first need to capture relay points which weaken the main carrier ship’s shield. It’s Carrier Assault that is the most enthralling of the three modes on offer. Team Deathmatch is your standard combat where teams vie to win by destroying each other, while control has three points in the matches to capture and hold. There are only three match types on offer though with Team Deathmatch, Control, and Carrier Assault. You have the option of working together in co-op vs the AI in one of the modes available. The most substantial part of the game is the multiplayer where you’ll not just play with PSVR users, but also those on Oculus Rift with Vive support coming soon too.
EVE VALKYRIE WARZONE REVIEW PRO
It won’t take long to 100% these tasks, with Survival being the one people will come back to most to beat the others on the leaderboards, split between novice and pro difficulties. There are Scout missions too which are exploration missions where you search for salvage and echoes without being beset by enemies, and then there are the Survival challenges where you aim to survive for as long as possible against wave after wave of fighters. You can train in each ship for as long as you like after completing the mandatory objectives, leaving the session by flying through a gate.Ĭhronicles features four Recall missions where you relive the memories of a pilot, which are mainly combat based. Each of the training missions follows a similar pattern navigate a course, try out abilities, destroy hostile ships. The heavy has a flak cannon and the ability to warp short distances, while the support can replenish allied shields as well as being able to deplete enemy shields very quickly. The fighter is what you would expect it to be, a fast and nimble ship that is armed with rapid firing guns and homing missiles. In Chronicles there is the training module to help you get used to the three ship classes in the game, these being the fighter, the heavy, and the support. It felt quite naturally moving in a 360 degree space while looking about to spot enemies. What I found surprising while flying around at different speeds was the lack of queasiness like some other VR games had given me. These missions are in the single player Chronicles mode, though this is mostly set up to help you get ready for the online arena. Your new life sees you in the services of the pirate group known as Valkyrie, who you will conduct missions for. Essentially you are the clone of a pilot long dead, resurrected by another clone that flew alongside you. You’ll begin with a couple of short single player missions that give some background. CCP Games has tried to capture the feel of what the could be like through this VR shooter, and for the most part it works really rather well. EVE: Valkyrie is a game that has been built precisely to fulfil the fantasies of those who would want to be piloting fighters in space, performing 360 rolls, attacking large carrier ships, and flying through asteroid fields, but were born a few millennia too early.
