Eve developer reveals its new Samsung Gear VR game: Gunjack

The first year of consumer virtual reality is probably going to see a heck of a lot of cockpit-style games flood the market. And the proof of that is developer CCP Games, which just announced its second VR project in that genre.

Gunjack is a new arcade shooter that takes place in the same universe as CCP’s Eve Online. The studio built it to work with the Samsung Gear VR head-mounted display, which has you strapping a Galaxy smartphone to your face. Gunjack has you shooting down waves of enemies in space while collecting powerups and bonuses. The Gear VR platform exits its “Innovator Edition” phase and launches as a fully developed product later this year.
