PS VR Aim Controller Could Be Sony's Secret Weapon [Upload VR]

We went hands-on in 'Farpoint' with the PS VR Aim Controller, a gun accessory for the PlayStation 4's upcoming virtual reality headset.

If Nintendo came out with this people would laugh. Comments to follow to follow lol

[BLAKHOODe]

Not if it included a Duck Hunt VR game. God, I miss that stupid dog.

[XisThatKid]

Not if they actually gave their fans what they wanted prior and a viable VR headset that actually works

[C-H-E-F]

Oh my ish... If only this was possible for Nintendo and Sony to put their bad business to aside to collaborate on one project that would be elite... I loved duck hut... That and 007 on the atari was the first 2 games well and pac man were the first 3 games i played. My parents were duck hut legends haha.

Don't tease me like that, jerk.

If Nintendo came up with it, it would be linked to naff cuddly toy shooting games and Nintendoids would claim that it was the best thing ever created.

[Neonridr]

you mean like the Wiimotes were babies' toys but the PS Move, now that is something cool.

[Angeljuice]

No the Wiimote was the greatest thing ever created but the PSmove was just a trashy nonsense copycat device.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

They're both crap. I don't know what you two are arguing about.

[RememberThe357]

Bocce ball was dope though...

[miyamoto]

You kidding? The Wii motes were fkn garbage. They BARELY worked, it wasn't until Wii Motion + was added that they became reasonably good, and they STILL weren't as good as PS Move's controllers.

PSMove was fucking glorious, and it's a damn shame it never caught on, people were so afraid of change they passed up something reallllly epic. Loved every game I played with those damn things. Fight Lights Out, and Sports were my casual drivers for months. I even worked out... HARD With Fight, and wooped bitches asses in multiplayer too.

...no... I got wooped.

Nintendo is not in a position to do this kind of stuff, that why I would laugh to the max! :D

It's just the next iteration of last gens sharpshooter, which was excellent. My only complaint was that it was too accurate which made things too easy. They should add some heavy duty haptics to give them more realistic recoil.

Wtf is wrong with ppl? This is a great design for shooters in VR with the button and analog stick placement. To toggle movement either through motion control or with analog sticks is a great option.

Farpoint looks fantastic, the grfx are terrific and it has a Mass Effect vibe. I love what i see.

Nah man, VR is #TheFuture

[Neonridr]

Why does the gun in the video have so much jitter?

[WeAreLegion]

Because that's how much the player's hands are moving. It's not as strange when you're in VR.

[Neonridr]

I have an Oculus Rift. I would be concerned if I couldn't hold my hand level without it jittering about like that.

[WeAreLegion]

I have a Vive. The one with motion controllers right now. ;)

[Yetter]

So the player has parkinsons? It was very reminiscent of old move demos

[IamTylerDurden1]

Farpoint is beautiful and intriguing, i can see the Mass Effect influence from the former EA devs.

The gun is a smart design and the in game gun model was shaky bc it matches ur EXACT movements and the person playing was obviously shaky. If anything it proves that the motion control is crazy accurate.

[SP4CE_C4PT4IN]

It was said that the video was optimized for a non-VR screen. That's my take on why it looks a little... off

[Neonridr]

fair enough.. I will wait to see more on it. Just was wondering if it was a tracking issue.

[Kal-V3]

It looks kinda silly, but functional. I'm starting to like it.

[Angeljuice]

You can't see it with the VR helmet on, why worry what it looks like?

[fllysurfer]

No, fuck no!...

[Rhythmattic]

I already have the sharp shooter.... :p

[Eonjay]

Same.

[PlatinumGX]

I would've liked that every FPS game supported PS Move. Well, XIM 4 it is.

[DivineAssault]

RE7, PSVR, & this will be greatness

[zombiewombie]

Looks like I can make one at home.

[SgtPepper1806]

Sonys secret weapon is gaming tech that's been used since the 80s? Besides the fact that it works with VR how is this different to a Zapper or Light Gun?

[Angeljuice]

It isn't, it just solves the problem of moving and shooting.
It's not a secret weapon, its the obvious solution to a problem that was only made a big issue by nay-sayers.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Farpoint looks so good and the hardware is so intuitive looking. I'm excited.
