CCP to stick with Oculus Rift for Eve: Valkyrie

[wraggster]

Notch might not be happy with Facebook's purchase of Oculus - but that doesn't mean all developers are.CCP told Eurogamer it still plans to launch space combat game Eve: Valkyrie for the consumer version of Oculus Rift, whenever that comes out."We're very excited for our friends and colleagues at Oculus," CCP said."We share their vision about the future of VR and gaming and are looking forward to participating in the consumer launch of the Oculus Rift with Eve: Valkyrie."Last night, after Facebook announced they had bought Oculus for $2bn (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-03-25-facebook-buys-oculus-vr), Markus "Notch" Persson canned plans to release a virtual reality-enabled version of Minecraft for the Rift."I definitely want to be a part of VR, but I will not work with Facebook," the mega-rich Minecraft creator said. "Their motives are too unclear and shifting, and they haven't historically been a stable platform. There's nothing about their history that makes me trust them, and that makes them seem creepy to me."CCP had announced Eve: Valkyrie as an Oculus Rift launch title to be co-published by Oculus. It's also due out on Sony's rival VR headset Project Morpheus. Eve: Valkyrie is, as the name suggests, a spin-off from spaceship MMO Eve Online, which also spawned console shooter Dust 514 last year for PlayStation 3.
