After all, we’ve been staring at 2D screens since the start of our gaming careers. The look-to-lock system was created to encourage head movement within PlayStation VR. One of the main tips in Eve: Valkyrie is “moving your head is key to survival and success in combat” - sounds pretty straightforward, right? Maybe not. Then simply release the trigger button to launch and you’ll have just sent a firestorm of heat-seeking missiles that only the most skilful pilots can evade.Īdvancing this skill, you can even take down multiple targets at the same time by keeping the primary Gatling Cannon weapons trained on your forward facing enemy while you swing round your tracking to his teammate.
Remember, you have a full 360-degrees available to you! Focusing your aim on the targeted enemy will lock a missile every second, up to a total of five. Hold the left trigger to bring up an aiming reticule and track your enemy by moving your head anywhere across the skies. In fact, it quickly becomes a natural reflex. The ability to pluck an enemy ship out of the air with your gaze and unleash a furious missile storm - you’ll just have to trust me right now when I say it’s very, very satisfying. To make full use of this feature, we implemented the look-to-lock missile system and integrated it into Valkyrie’s fighter class Wraith ships. An owl would have a distinct advantage here, but I doubt you’ll meet too many on the battlefield.
One of the strengths of VR is the ability to motion track within a full 360-degree field of view that’s totally under your control. Working with cutting-edge technology opens up opportunities to design features that can’t be replicated anywhere else. It’s a totally new way to play games and immerse yourself in the world. A warm welcome to all the PlayStation fans getting ready to enter the world of virtual reality with PlayStation VR! From day one, the Eve: Valkyrie team wanted to deliver a unique gameplay experience built from the ground up for this incredible emerging medium.
