It illustrated the heightened experience that Oculus Rift added to the mix in the best way possible, and that was even before we lifted off and thrust ourselves into space.Īfter leaving the dock, we hyperspaced to a remote system with a Sol-like yellow star (which looked superb, it must be said) and were almost immediately set-up by several bandits.īeing able to actually look around the cockpit and, because of the glass front, track enemies visually as well as on the radar was an incredible experience. We started in an enormous docking station with a ship passing us by in the top-right hand corner. And this is what initially made us go wow. It also had a completely glass front, that enveloped the outer hull, allowing you to see objects above, below and to the sides. It had weapons but was slower than spaceships designed for fighting. The craft used for the Oculus Rift demo session was a larger cargo ship. As soon as we popped on the Rift, that feeling was amplified significantly. Indeed, by this point we were already awestruck by the game's scope. If more players buy ore, for example, the price in game will reflect the greater demand.Īnd we saw and discussed the political engine that is also affected by player actions, thereby creating a living, breathing galaxy. Prices for products to trade – by finding star systems and docking stations that will give you a greater price for products you bought on the cheap – fluctuate. We also saw that the trading model, which was fully realised for the latest build, is robust and incredibly detailed. We cannot over state how vast and almost overwhelming the playing area is. Every star, moon and planet in the real galaxy is in the game, running in real time, with real orbits. The game, as Pocket-lint saw before donning the virtual reality headset, is huge.
And were even more pleasantly surprised that our playtime would include a specific mission through Oculus Rift.

(Pocket-lint) - Having not played any of the Alpha phases of Elite: Dangerous, David Braben and his Frontier development studio's reimagination of his original BBC Micro space simulator, we jumped at the chance to check out the latest build of the PC game.
