Virtual Reality Game Videos: Space Genre

Our VR Radar charts (Q2 2014 updated released last week) identify 12 key genres for released and upcoming virtual reality games and experiences.  For each title we place them into our radar format by the forecasted average age of the player or the target audience it’s aimed at.

If you haven’t got an Oculus Rift and haven’t tried any of the Project Morpheus demo’s then don’t worry, we’ve rounded up the latest showcase videos starting with the Space genre. The radar segment belows shows Space-themed titles.

Flying games based in space have always been a popular gaming genre right back to the early days of PCs with titles such as Elite. Well, this is one franchise that’s coming back with a bang with Elite: Dangerous. Another hotly anticipated title is EVE: Valkyrie from CCP.

And proving the demand for these types of games there’s a whole host of other space flying games from other developers. What makes these games highly playable isn’t just the battle element of piloting spacecraft but in some cases the deep multiplayer RPG gameplay. Enjoy.

Space is also a theme adopted for some early Oculus Rift demos without the combat gameplay. Two of these, Lunar Flight and Titans of Space have become cult hits with the DK1 community.

Next up, Flying.
