Farpoint VR

So, saw the bundle at target and impulse bought because the controller by itself is 60. So made sense at 79 and I have been hearing great things about the experience. I'll have a trip report later for anyone with psvr.

Ok so I played an hour yesterday. Will be playing more tonight.

This game in combination with VR and the Aim Controller is absolutely immersive and amazing. But not in the regard of an in depth shooter. Basically what is making this enjoyable is the experience of holding your gun, seeing your gun, holding the gun up to your face and seeing through the holographic sight (Which gets nearer and closer as you move the gun closer/further away from your face) and going through a great environment and so far, story. The reaction time the gun has in retrospect to your movement is dead on accurate. To the point it adds such a new level of immersion you forget you aren't in a game.

I justified the buy because I love everything about VR and this adds a whole new level - but the Aim Controller itself is $60. So, it made sense to just buy the bundle. My advice: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME STAND ALONE. The Aim Controller makes all the difference, and there isn't Move controller support for it. So it's either Aim Controller or Dual Shock, and while I hadn't tried it yet, I can only imagine how boring this game would be with a Dual Shock Controller instead of the Aim Controller/Gun.

Now, I hope there is more support coming for this. Something like this can make a Call of Duty game, a Battlefield game, absolutely AWESOME. I can only imagine what it would be like to play something like an Omaha Beach mission in VR with this Aim Controller and storming the beach.

If Activision made a level like this with Aim Controller support for their upcoming COD game, I would preorder my first digital deluxe version of COD just to say thank you.

A LOT of awesome potetial - but so far, so good. I'll have more after I play more tonight.

Yeah you have options in the menu for 3/4 (I forget what I saw) variations of movement. For me, I just move forward, I cannot turn using the analog stick on the gun. If I want to move in a different direction, I turn to face that way and then press forward again. It's like a perpetual strafe. RE7 I didn't get sick but I also counteracted the movement myself when I could. No sharp turns, slower turns, etc. But with this, it was fairly natural.

I am glad they didn't come out with the 1st iteration. (However, it would have been nice to take that back end support piece off if it could be used as a pistol)

The gun that came out is absolutely perfect. I just hope now it gets a lot of support moving forward.

Not sure on that one, but the game itself is $49, and the controller is 59. The game sucks without the aim controller. So if you were interested, get the bundle. Because either way, I doubt we will see a reduction in price on the aim controller any time soon, and the game would have to come down 75%.

Also, for those that own this - Make sure when you are done playing / powering down, do not put it in rest mode first. Seems there is a bug where if you do not turn off the PS4, the VR Unit (After playing Far Point) will stay on even if the PS4 is put into rest mode. Until they fix that, I highly suggest powering down the PS4 after playing and powering back up again.

Heck, you could even take a break from the two games for an hour and fire it up. It's a short game. Supposedly 5-6 hours. But, even if you took it one hour at a time between the other two games, it's a very nice way to give it a shot.
