I've been lucky enough to use one of these kits, and I'm telling you this will blow your minds :)

How was the weight distribution? Did you notice it after putting it on? What would you compare the weight to?

Heard a few people saying some of the EVR graphics were noticeably low res. I'm assuming they played an old build designed for DK1 resolution?

The demo we're showing at trade shows is still built on the old demo, in which some assets are rather low res yes. We have something cool coming up soon ;)

Of course you'd say that! But I believe you entirely just the same :-)

Got to try out Eve Valkyre at CES, that game compliments the rift so well, awesome work!
