Indie developer Impulse Gear explains the approach it took to bring a story to VR for PS4 exclusive Farpoint.
Its due for release later this year.
Farpoint VR may be surpassed by other VR first-person shooters in the future but it is an important part of the genre's development in VR.
I mean HL: Alyx is probably the best representation of first person implementation into a VR game to date. But it's exciting to see what's on the horizon. I will particularly be interested in the next gen version of PSVR to see what sorts of new interactions we can get with the controller
Farpoint was a great shooter with the Aim controller on PSVR, I'm excited to see what the studio is doing next and if its another shooter that will use the Aim again.
"There’s also no mention of what platforms it’ll support, presumably PlayStation VR will get a look in as Farpoint was exclusive to the headset. But there have been fewer and fewer for Sony’s device. With a 2021 launch window, VRFocus would expect an Oculus Quest version due to its popularity."
Sony just announced today five to six new games that will be releasing this year, so the idea of fewer and fewer games on the device is not correct, and there are a good set of games. Whether the game is exclusive or not it would be welcomed either way. How many Oculus Quest HMDs have been sold to date, and are they close to or already closed the lead of Sonys headset?
Daily Video Game writes: "It’s the weekend again! The largest e-commerce platform Amazon is running various games on sale with huge savings for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One right now! If you want to play new games without breaking your wallet on your PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, this is your chance to save up to 83% off on PSVR games, PS4 exclusives, and AAA titles."
Pure PlayStation: If you woke up to a brand new PSVR headset on Christmas morning then you’ll no doubt be wanting some advice on what to play. Well, unless you already did your due diligence.
Games are subjective I guess. But this list is weak. Some of the titles named aren't that good. I could have came up with a better list. And some of the best and latest releases aren't even on this list.
Article could have been better.
I really hope it works. Definitely want Farpoint to be good, but I am kind of nervous.
I would like to try this. It seems cool.
Seems weird to me that they decided to go ahead with this project. By now it's pretty much been established among VR game dev communities that "moving FPS's" just feel really bad and inappropriate in VR
I'm stating this EVERYWHERE i see a farpoint article the game is 5-8hours for the campaign completion. So don't be shocked and complain about game length this is a forewarning.
