I am excited for Arizona Sunshine. I have Aim, so I will play with that first, but I am also curious how they will handle locomotion with Moves.
They are the same

Please Sony, give us DREAMS! Then my life is complete.
Thanks for all of the PS VR updates and news Matt!
Neat.
Though $53 after 10% discount in Canada. Ouch. Or is the discount not there yet?
I should really play some more Farpoint and Star Trek before getting this.
Haha yeah no kidding. I only pushed myself through the first level of Farpoint so far. I need to go back but it's so tough to get my mind into it.
hmm I don't see the 10% discount? it just says 39.99
Yeah, really want that game but not for that price. Wish it is getting a physical release so I could have taken advantage of prime 20% off. Now I got to wait for 50% at least.

Yeah that's the only reason I didn't buy it yet.

Any impressions? Would love to hear what people think of it.
Yeah, Farpoint has been rough. Darn spiders scare the crap out of me.
But zombies, I dunno. I have tons of training for those it seems. Zombie apocalypse dreams are recurrent in my dreams.

Yeah, the base price is too rich for my blood. I know it makes me sound cheap/entitled, but I won't pay more than $20-25 for a digital-only PSVR game, especially one that's not PSVR exclusive. I haven't been blown away by any of the pre-release footage either, so that doesn't help.
Seems like a universal problem now. Maybe there's a day one patch, or hopefully they will address it.
Weird that preview articles/videos had been great, but release version is so broken...?
Things aren't looking good for Arizona Sunshine. They have an annoying control setup where the turn right/left also have a teleport (forward) and 180 (reverse) on one of the joysticks so if you aren't careful you can easily be doing a 180. Additionally, the Aim and Move controllers both have poor tracking/wobbly and work horribly when aiming down the sights because they forgot to offset things like Farpoint does, ie, you don't want the Aim/Move to actually go in front of your face blocking tracking when aiming down sight.
Nice. Mortal Blitz was fun but needs more missions. Still super fun to dodge and just the grapple to hold up a crate and use it as a shield.

I bought Arizona Sunshine for my aim controller, but guys, this game is made for moves (actually is was made for Vive, but you know what I mean).
Agree with the above poster, tracking has issues due to ingame weapons not being offset well, causing you to put your controllers in front of your headset and obscuring the tracking lights. I hope they are patching some of this!
Otherwise, the game looks ok (OG PS4) but does have some blurry textures, which is to be expected I guess. Still seems like a pretty beefy VR game though, especially if they can iron out some of the kinks.

Arizona Sunshine review and video embargo lifted, so far it ranges from bad to terrible.
Complaints are buggy, janky and not fun.
Uh oh. Really don't want to skip this since I already top up $50. Worst case for now is save it for Raw Data.
Meanwhile, Farpoint Cryo Pack DLC

People will appreciate Farpoint even more now after the disaster with Arizona Sunshine...

This thread took a sudden twist. Unfortunate, but hey, you can save the money for fantastic contraption instead.

Arizona Sunshine news is utterly disappointing. WTF...
Doesn't seem like quick fix territory to me. Delivering a proper experience day one could have lead to this game closely matching Farpoint's sales, despite the cost. It'll sell badly and they'll be less inclined to fix it and... just can't see it going well from here.
Feel sorry for anyone who buys expecting something as good as or better than Farpoint having only seen pre-embargo news/reports.

It is either they accidentally submitted or Sony pushed out an older version (similar to Quiz Tonight and Fantastic Contraption case), or the game is just utter broken.
Seriously, how did preview version ran so well?
Also the new Farpoint trailer looks so good. At least we have that.
Pretty sure they are running around with their hair on fire. Considering how much effort they put in, I fully expect a patch if these are widespread complaints, so I wouldnt call it doomsday yet. I am not in a hurry.
Well there it is. Hope is not lost.
There it is.
Damn such a shame. Luckily I held of on grabbing it last night.
I guess it's not all bad. Gonna use the credit to buy Crash on Friday and I still have so much stuff to do in Farpoint.
I'm sure Arizona Sunshine will wait. Hoping they iron out the problems then I'll definitely buy.

but then the patch will effectively cost 5$ if you don't buy it now for -10% discount! :E

Hell, you're not even getting the 10% discount now anyway. They're "talking with Sony" to make it happen.
The whole launch is a complete fucking mess.
That doesn't sound like there's been a mix up or anything, just a patch that may or may not fix the known shittiness in their game.
Well there it is. Hope is not lost.
Man embargoes are so scummy.
The game wasn't supposed to be up for another 6 hours. We still have no idea if they knew all of the issue and there was a day 1 patch, or they immediately compile a patch last minute for some of the known issue.
Their twitter also stop replying to a lot of messages since the game came out, hopefully they are rushing to fix these issues.
I'm just really sad that I don't get to spend the money I just credited. Hopefully Archangel, Theseus, Super Hot and Infinite Minigolf are coming soon.

I really hope that's all it is, we all wanted this to be a step up in game play from Farpoint.
Got everything crossed here! Odd that there's already a patch underway, probably from reviewer feedback during embargo? Must have been.

This is very disappointing. I was really looking forward to this game.
Hm the 3 reviews I read dont mention tech issues.
How odd.

I am hoping that someone accidentally put an old game build on PSN.

Hmm, 8/10. I honestly don't mind the zombie variety or whatever. My only concern is tracking.

Anyone got any thoughts on Ctrl is up on the UK store and pretty cheap but can't find the trophies or much about it?
