Have it installed and going to use my older shooter controller with it.

morganfell2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

Wasn't sure if that would work so I ordered the new one. I still have my Navigator and PS Move Sharpshooter as well as 2 Move controllers.

BTW, this says it won't work in place of the new one: https://youtu.be/xSfJv4EGwF...

Garethvk2554d ago

It should as the tech is the same and they use the Move controller.

morganfell2554d ago

But the controls and everything are set up differently. Honestly unless the devs allow remapping in the game I do not think it will work properly. The new one has dual joysticks.

Ron_Danger2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

Morganfell is correct. My Farpoint bundle arrived at work and I opened it up at lunch. First thing I noticed on the box is it states the Aim controller has all of the buttons found on a dual shock controller and rumble! The dual joysticks are a huge much needed improvement over the Sharpshooter Move add-on.

Capcom should totally patch RE7 to support the new Aim controller.

Farpoint Studio Tease Cryptic Message for Upcoming VR Game

Its due for release later this year.

PrimeVinister1167d ago

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.

Neonridr1167d ago

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

Abnor_Mal1166d ago

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?

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.
