And despite the Battlestar Galactica influences youРІР‚в„ўre certainly not moving according to the laws of Newtonian physics. As is usually the case, thanks to the influence of Star Wars, this all feels more like piloting a prop plane than a modern jet fighter, let alone an actual spaceship.

Valkyrie does its best to make this feel as approachable as possible, limiting the number of extraneous controls and just focusing on getting you moving in the right direction (i.e.

Space combat simulators do tend to have quite complex controls, if only for the fact that youРІР‚в„ўre moving unhindered in full 3D space. As youРІР‚в„ўre ejected into space the sense of scale is amazing, as you peer around your cockpit at the giant capital ships and the inky blackness beyond them. The game wears its love of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica on its sleeve and not only do you launch from your mothership in a near identical manner, shot down a launch corridor and out into space, but you even have Starbuck herself, Katee Sackhoff, providing the narration. Which is something that apparently happens a lot.Р”Р„nd yet despite all that the initial impressions are excellent. The backstory behind whatРІР‚в„ўs going on isnРІР‚в„ўt a lot more interesting, and involves you discovering that youРІР‚в„ўre a clone of a previously killed pilot. ItРІР‚в„ўs a reality in which Dulux does not exist, and almost everything, from spaceship exteriors and interiors to the uniforms of soldiers and pilots is a dark, charcoal grey. Graham is hoarding his like some kind of virtual reality-obsessed dragon, sitting on the headset and breathing fire at people who want to borrow it but I did attend a preview a few months ago where I played a variety of modes and learned a whole bunch about ship classes and so forth which you can read here.Valkyrie is set in the existing EVE Online universe, which is an immediate problem because the EVE Online universe is so relentlessly dour. I haven't played Valkyrie today or yesterday because I don't have a Rift. I also like that the trailer has a moment where it essentially goes 'yeah, and you'll also make mistakes' and then shows a pilot just driving into a bit of space detritus and exploding. Then you respawn, hopefully having learned something from that death and that experience, and set out again. You sort of see your cockpit shatter and your avatar's limbs freeze before you go back to the launch tube.

The cold death and the canopy explosion she's talking about is what happens to your ship each time you get blown out of the sky. The video is narrated by Katee Sackhoff - you'll likely know her as ace pilot, Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace in Battlestar Galactica - and she kind of explains the rhythm of the game by explaining how death works but in a very trailer-y way. Here's some virtual reality space dogfighting: You might say that the launch trailer launched on YouTube. Bring back lunch.Р”Р„NYWAY, to celebrate the launch of this launch game in which you launch spaceships down launch tubes and then launch gunfire at the other launched spaceships there is a launch trailer on YouTube. I've typed the word 'launch' too much and now it doesn't make sense and I've started thinking about 'lunch'.

EVE Valkyrie, launch title for Oculus Rift, has launched, as you might expect given the Rift also launched yesterday.
