It's been five years since I've seen Elite Dangerous, and that means it's gone a VERY long way from the Alpha Phase One I had tried back in the day with the Oculur Rift DK1. Today we jump into the space simulator with the CV1, going back the same way I originally played this: in virtual reality. Let's see how the training missions have evolved, then let's check out a bit of solo gameplay.

This episode of the Virtual Reality Holodeck was meant to be played using the Oculus Rift, but due to major issues with the runtimes on that end, we had to resort to the VIVE. Fortunately that method yielded a fun, challenging and complete playthrough of one of the games new levels. Looks like the original Descent devs really are bringing the feel back to life!")
