Attention, pilots! Today, we’re thrilled to announce Warzone – the first major expansion for EVE: Valkyrie, heading your way on September 26.

Enter the Warzone

The Warzone expansion introduces a huge range of exciting new features, with the biggest game changer being support for both standard and VR gameplay. PS4 and PS VR gamers will be able to fly and fight alongside each other in EVE: Valkyrie – Warzone, both in and out of virtual reality. We look forward to seeing the already intense competition between Valkyrie pilots going up a notch, as more players from around the world will be able to join existing pilots for all-action space-dogfighting battles.

But that’s not all – not by a long shot. This expansion is a complete overhaul for the game, making EVE: Valkyrie – Warzone an entirely fresh experience. Better yet, it will be a free download for all existing Valkyrie pilots, with the complete package coming down in price to $29.99 SRP for new recruits.

First-person Spaceship Shooter

Set against the glittering darkness of space in the unforgiving corner of the universe known as New Eden, EVE: Valkyrie – Warzone is a visceral and immediately accessible first-person spaceship shooter, where you can jump straight in and heroically turn the tide of battle. Guiding you through your Valkyrie journey is Rán Kavik, leader of the Valkyrie, brought to life by critically acclaimed actress Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica, Longmire).

Next-generation fleet

The cockpit of your spacecraft is an immersive bubble and your window onto a battlefield among the stars. It’s from here that you’ll enjoy multiple competitive multiplayer modes, co-op and squad-based gameplay as well as getting involved in Leaderboards and, later this year, Leagues.

Choosing from one of the four distinct ship classes – Assault, Heavy, Support and the all-new Covert class ship, the Shadow – your awesome vessel becomes your avatar, where using the intuitive controls to combine great firepower with agility provides genuine tactical depth. When chasing the thrill of victory, just remember that your next kill – or death – may lie above or below as well as behind you.

New features and improved gameplay

EVE: Valkyrie – Warzone brings with it enhanced and refined gameplay features across the board.

Each ship within a class will have a more distinctive role to play in battle and all ships will be available from the first time a pilot enters the Clone Vat. This new, open hangar will allow pilots to experiment and find the ships that best fit their playstyle within a few matches.

There will be new weapons and abilities to inflict upon each other, including powerful ship-specific Ultra abilities that, when timed correctly, can turn the course of battle. Ultras facilitate a deeper combat experience, being fuelled by the performance of you and your team.

Pilots will be able to explore a new modular progression system that introduces multiple new modifications for each ship. With unique abilities and meaningful upgrade paths for each ship, you’ll have more control over how you evolve and customise your fleet.

Warzone introduces the brand-new ‘Extraction’ game mode – think capture the flag in outer space – that mixes combat and navigational challenge in new and exciting ways, encouraging pilots to use the environment to their advantage. Most importantly though, it makes team-play – and team-tactics – a key component of success.

In addition, the Warzone expansion will also feature two new maps; ‘Fleet’, a Sisters of EVE space station, and ‘Outpost’, a mysterious Drifter base, that will bring even more aspects of the rich EVE universe to the world of the EVE: Valkyrie. There will also be new weekly Wormholes to fight for, where established reality is twisted for a fresh gameplay experience.

New rewards system

In Warzone, we’ve simplified EVE: Valkyrie’s previously complex in-game economy with the removal of Gold and the reduction of surplus Silver. You’ll earn XP per ship and use only XP to craft a Modification for that ship, which is far easier to follow. Salvage picked up during a battle by you or your team now has a more immediate effect by fuelling your ship’s Ultra gauge.

You can also fight over Spoils of War to earn Reward Capsules, enabling you to unlock a hangar-full of personalization options for your ships and pilot. Each item rewarded is categorised as Common, Rare or Epic to convey its sense of worth and desirability, plus a random element ensures that the content of each capsule remains a surprise.

Join the battle

EVE: Valkyrie – Warzone is for everyone. If you can play first-person shooters, you can pilot one of Warzone’s amazing ships. Not having access to VR hardware will no longer hold you back from diving weapons-first into intense and highly competitive space combat with your friends. It’s fast, it’s fun and there’s a ship with your name on it.

Fly safe and fly together!

Dirt Rally VR bundle is 15.99 on psn. 

That's quite the discount. Bought.

 

Mortal Blitz is also 33 percent off.

Is it worth 11 pounds?

 

Mortal Blitz is supposed to be very good - especially with the pro. I've just bought it.... it's quite a lot like Time Crisis from what I've seen.

Just did the first couple of levels of Mortal Biltz - it's quite lovely. Sharp as a pin on the pro, and the moves are tracked really smoothly with no jitter. It's not on the rails either, you have to press the move button to teleport to pre-marked areas. It works really well. You can shoot people so they are stunned, use your telekinesis gloves to grab em and pull em into the air, then blast away with your other gun. It all works really well.  No idea on how long it is, but it's a loaf of fun so far and I'm pleased with my purchase.

 

just spotted Paranormal Activity on there too - anybody going to take one for the team?

Just bought Mortal Blitz and Keep Talking and Nobody explodes because of the sale, I have no idea how much I've spent on PSVR now but I love it.

 

For those who don't have it you really really need to get Superhot VR it's amazing and quite a work out, I'm always sweating profusely once I've finished playing. Only just come back from holiday but will probably go through it all again now the Pro patch is out, although I thought it looked fine anyway.

Played Paranormal Actibity for about an hour and I'm sorry to say the controls and tracking are the worst I've experienced out of 70+ psvr games I own. They are literally sucking any fun out of the game by choking you to use these shocking controls. I've no idea why you can't use a dualshock as I've done nothing in the first hour or so that even requires a move - everything I've done (walk, open doors, crouch, manage my inventory and aim) have all been already achieved with accuracy and comfort with Resident Evil. 

 

Don't jump in, wait for the dualshock patch - it's even more essential than the smooth turn patch or the pro patch.....

 

It's basically not a finished game in this state.

Dirt Rally in VR is really well done, I'd say it's streets ahead of Driveclub VR as an experience.  However, the game itself is offputtingly hard, I've tried, I really have, but it just seems impossible to stay on the road and I really don't like it.  I really do like Driveclub, which has serverely stripped down visuals, but retains the amazing gameplay.

 

The hundred page long thread about Dirt Rally tells me I'm probably wrong about Dirt Rally but I just don't understand how to play it at all, and all the videos I watched on Youtube were no help.

I found dirt rally a difficult game to love.

It has the worst opening to a game I've ever played. To learn the rules, such as what the corner numbers mean, you have to sit through a series of dry videos buried in a menu somewhere. You're then given a 1960s car with a 60's engine, 60's brakes and 60's tires and you drive very slowly up a winding hill. I then crash because I get frustrated at the slowness of it all.

It really needs a short exciting tutorial level that pulls you into the game. 

 

I've never got off the first level. I always end up turning it off and loading Drive Club, drifting the Caterham 7 is so much fun.

I know Dirt Rally gets better. I've seen videos of the later cars screaming down dirt roads. I've read enthusiastic review on this site, but I just can't be bothered to persevere, I've got too many other unplayed games.

Nailed it! I agree.

I was very hesitant to put down £20 on Sparc, but I'm so glad I did.

 

its from the guys who made Eve (which I love) so I figured it was worth a go.

 

Its a future sports version of tennis with absolutely perfect tracking. It's easily the most fun I've had in Vr since Superhot and this game will get you Superhot too - lots of physically moving around with rock solid tracking - you can see your opponents upper body which is also perfectly tracked. 

 

Highly recommended from me :) no probs getting multiplayer games so far either. It's also got the best lobby system since splatton 2....
