There are many tech demos, community hacks, and experiments with Virtual Reality gaming,
but until the Consumer version of the Oculus launches we won't see official games.
These new games are being built from the ground up for the Oculus so the immersion factor
from 360 degree headtracking, increased depth, and isolation will add a new level of gameplay.
Some of these games will also be compatible with Sony's Project Morpheus or Samsung's
Gear VR, but we're focusing on the Oculus launch games for this preview.
Let's take a look at the most anticipated upcoming VR games.
Eve: Valkyrie Eve: Valkyrie is one of the first big VR games
that was announced.
Developed by CCP Games the devs known for Eve Online and Dust 514, Eve: Valkyrie is
a multiplayer dogfighting shooter set in the Eve universe.
Eve takes advantage of VR by allowing 360 degree viewpoint with action combat going
on all around you.
The game will have a rank and reputation based character progression system.
And there will be plenty of customization for ships.
Ships have three distinct roles.
There's the fighter class with medium armor and gatling pulse lasers.
There's the heavy class with high density armor, composite heat shields, and direct
plasma injectors.
There will also be a support class which is still in development.
The game will also be voiced by Katee Sackhoff, known for many Sci Fi series such as Battlestar
Galactica, Riddick, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
EVE: Valkyrie should be huge for Sci Fi fans.
Edge of Nowhere Edge of Nowhere is a newly announced game
by Insomniac Games who are known for Ratchet And Clank and Sunset Overdrive.
Edge Of Nowhere takes place in the antarctic in search of a missing expedition.
You venture into the unknown and the challenge is surviving and traversing in the arctic
environment.
It's both a mystery and an adventure because the environment is dangerous and there are
many secrets to find.
It's also in third person, which shows that not every Oculus game is going to be in first
person perspective.
Edge Of Nowhere is exclusive to the Oculus and there's very little gameplay revealed
so far.
Chronos Chronos is an atmospheric RPG that chronicles
one young man�s lifelong quest to save his homeland from a great evil.
The protagonist seeks an ancient labyrinth which holds the secrets necessary to restore
life and peace to his home.
But the labyrinth only opens once a year and it's a test to see who can pass.
The game combines many adventure elements with RPG mechanics and it's a unique approaching
to character leveling and exploration.
Every time you enter the labyrinth you learn more secrets, but your character continues
to age and it effects the way your abilities.
Chronos is a game about time: as your character ages, you have to approach the dungeon differently.
As a young man you�re nimble and brash.
In middle age you�re stronger and a bit more experienced.
As an old man you�re weak and frail, and must rely on magics and knowledge of the old
tomb in order to survive.
Lucky�s Tale Lucky's Tale is a different and unexpected
game in the Oculus line up.
It's a platforming adventure game similar to Super Mario 64 or Banjo Kazooie from the
Nintendo 64 days.
You play as Lucky as he runs, spins, and jumps through levels.
The world is very colorful and vivid.
And the levels are huge.
