The PC Games article makes very clear that in its current form, the game isn't much more than a tech demo that could potentially be packaged with the Rift at retail.

Oh my sweet jeebus.  Could this be the JTL replacement I've been yearning for!?

Sure, 6v6 isn't an open MMO sandbox, but OMFG.  I need to watch that teaser another 50 times now.

When they fighter came zipping around and they started zooming in on it, I said, "Oh fuck no...  OH FUCK NO...  Cockpit view!?  Is it going into cockpit view!?!", cut to black and then BOOM!  COCKPIT VIEW!  I was screaming in my office.

I have seen the future... and it is good.

Seriously, the first thing I thought of when I read about the Occulus Rift was flight-sims.  Let me be a pilot, and I will throw all my money at you.  All of it.

It looks like EVR was built in a different engine than EVE, so chances of them incorporating it into the MMO are slim to none. I could easily see it becoming a stand-alone game set in the EVE universe, though. It might also encourage CCP to get the Rift working with their own engine, but that's a pretty big undertaking.

If anyone would do it, CCP would.

EVR was built in Unity, while EVE's engine is custom-built by CCP.  If they can incorporate the ability to leave your ship and walk around in a station, I'm sure they could figure out a way to work in a Rift cockpit view.

However, EVE's combat is more about tactics than action.  I'm not sure how incorporating fast-paced dogfighting would work, but CCP is always pulling rabbits out of its hat.

It could be something similar to DUST, where you have two separate games that still manage to affect each other in different ways.  CCP's whole thing now is "One Universe".  They're branching out into different areas of gaming, but it will all tie into the EVE universe.

Sorry for size, I'm apparently incompetent with BBCode and couldn't figure out the code to resize.

Wrong!  Morpheus said the year was "closer to 2199"!

And even that may be wrong, since the cycle of The One and the destruction/rebuild of Zion was estimated to last about one hundred years.  And since Neo was the sixth One, the year could actually be closer to 2699.

Nice.
