#EVERSPACE 2 BACK TO WORK SERIES#

ThereвЂ™s a single-player campaign that offers a series of missions across an expansive galaxy. Now, weвЂ™ve got a traditional open-world space adventure game. It looked great it felt great and offered hours and hours of mindless fun. Long story short, EVERSPACE 2 for VR is currently not on our list, but who knows what kind of deal might happen in the futureвЂ¦?вЂќД®VERSPACE 2was slated for an Early Access launch on Steam in September but the studio has now pushed that back to December 2020 due to Cyberpunk 2077В and Outriders.В If ROCKFISH Games do decide to add VR support then VRFocus will let you know, for the time being, thereвЂ™s always EVERSPACE. The first game of the series was a fairly entertaining rogue-like title. However, ROCKFISH Games didnвЂ™t completely close the book on adding VR further down the road: вЂњTherefore, we decided to look at VR as a separate platform that requires a solid business case to make it worthwhile to support. вЂњIt would actually be hard to justify to our entire community if we spent a lot of development resources exclusively on a feature for a comparatively small group of players,вЂќ the studio explains. All we can say is that based on the experience from the predecessor, supporting VR is a ton of work for many reasons (like overhauling the UI, rebalancing the game, optimizing to demanding VR specifications)вЂќ.Д¬iting various challenges and issues such as: вЂњquite a lot of VR players miss or have trouble altering graphic settings in games with optional VR support, resulting in negative reviews and complaints about performance issues in VR, which of course hurt overall sales,вЂќ one of the biggest reasons simple comes down to where to invest funds. In a mailing this week ROCKFISH Games knew it was a question on the minds of VR fans, saying: вЂњNow, before some of you ask: We still havenвЂ™t decided if we will support VR at some point. The studio has recently broached the subject confirming that VR support isnвЂ™t currently being considered.

The studio saw crowdfunding success again in 2019 for sequel EVERSPACE 2В but there was no mention of VR. After a successful Kickstarter for EVERSPACE in 2015, the roguelike shooter launched the following year with VR support added in 2017. Adding virtual reality (VR) support to a videogame not specifically designed for the technology can be a big undertaking and ROCKFISH Games knows this better than most.
