Farpoint (VR)

[Steedeel]

Thought this game deserved its own thread has it is designed from the ground up for VR. It is the first game that uses the Aim controller, which is a gun shaped accessory designed for shooters.

The game, along with the gun, is released today I believe.

Anyone plan on getting this?

Just played the first 25 minutes or so and I love it already!

It looks great and it plays great, very natural while aiming the gun although having to actually turn your body took some time to getting used to for me.

This is clearly a winner for Sony and PS VR as far as I'm concerned, can't wait to play more tomorrow. That's it for now though, gotta get up early tomorrow...

Good man. Thanks for the post.

Good to hear, thanks.

Here's a walkthrough of level 1 for those interested in the gameplay. I haven't found any reviews yet. Game looks good. Can you walk freely from the look of it without restrictions, like in a regular FPS game?

[DJR662]

Yes, you can walk around freely like a regular FPS.

Is the main campaign about 6 hours? The game Farpoint is $49.99, so that's a reasonable price if there is replay value in the levels aside from just quickly moving through.

Cool, thanks.

Here's an interview addressing the ability to freely move around, which is what I want to see a lot more of in new VR games:

I see this as phase 1. Full game FPS proof of concept. Next we move on to less linear, more adventurous games. This seems like a good start. The true gems will come hopefully.

I already consider both this and Resident Evil VII as true PS VR gems.

Next up: Ace Combat 7.

Whaaatt??! Nooo!

I just checked and unfortunately you're right. Dammit, that is a real letdown cause I was so looking forward to the VR missions.

It's probably for the better though. We want the best experience after all. I hope the delay means they are working on more of the VR aspect.

I completely understand your disappointment though.
