I didn't even know I wanted this. Going to have to look out for Payday 2 sales in the next few months.

I guess we can tell who the VR players are in multiplayer as they will probably be teleporting all over the place.

The trailer shows trackpad locomotion. Teleport might be an option though.
In VR games like Pavlov where teleporting is an option your character still moves normally but you watch your character run to where you want to teleport to and when they get there you warp back inside of the character's view.
One of the other things they announced in the stream is an Ultimate Edition due out in a month that contains everything.

I had no interest in the game, but with this I may play it. What is the locomotion method?
How can you be confused? It comes up and tells you what to do

VR updates for FPS games featuring cross-play w the standard version is a very cool move.
From the video it seems to be trackpad. Makes sense considering it is crossplay.

Yeah, only way it could work. I hope the ginger chews I got work, because I've had problems in the past with locomotion.
Well there is gonna be some time before it comes out. Perfect chance to build up your VR legs

I've played hundreds of hours of VR over the past year. If I haven't by now, I'm not confident I will.

Not a fan of Payday nor that big a fan of FPS in general but would play the crap out of this.
Though if you want the DLC, it's better to buy it before next month because all the DLC is on sale for 85% off, which is cheaper than the Ultimate Edition even if you're buying everything.

Nice.
Looks like a great VR implementation. Not interested at all in the game until now, as long as there is trackpad/analog locomotion. More devs need to be doing this.

most vr games use trackpad movement and skiing movement for locomotion

"Most"? I don't think I've played anything that uses "skiing movement".
Most are either static or use teleportation. More frequently, at least since Touch anyway since it's better equipped for it, there are things that allow free movement which translates to trackpad movement, but it's certainly not "most".

Nowhere close to "most."

not talking about anything other than games that have movement in them and they most certainly do have trackpad or skiing for movement over teleport only
I've played a whole lot of VR games, and I very highly doubt that this is true.
It's certainly becoming more common to have both artificial locomotion and teleporting as options, but there are also many games which use teleport (or some variation thereof, such as teledash) primarily.

Let's put that shiny new Aim controller to work and bring this to PSVR, eh?

VR needs this kind of thing.
And it looks amazing too. Can't wait to dive in.
And it looks amazing too. Can't wait to dive in.
It looks like 2-handed grip is featured several times in this trailer.
I mean, it'd be great if FPS's supported as many headsets as possible. That said, I figure two-handed rifle handling is the only thing that will feel natural with Aim. Everything else will present a unique challenge to the devs: one handed pistols, grenade throwing, dual wielding at two different targets, etc.
I guess it's not really confusing it's just the game has never clicked with me and when it gives me a new objective to go do, or the drill needs to be restarted while being shot from everywhere I'm more annoyed than having fun and then I just stop playing. I'll give it more time once this comes out though. These type of games just probably aren't for me.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch

It'll be available free for players who already have Payday 2

Does the team that made the Syndicate reboot even exist anymore? This VR thing exists because people still play Payday 2 and Overkill is still working on the game.

Not very familiar with this, but i do hope so.

It sure didn't stop devs from Dick Wilde and Brookhaven Experiment from supporting it. They both have dual wielding and grenade throwing in their games.

nope wrong:
(*excluding the Ethan and Hila Character Pack available separately as well as any temporary campaign eg. the Lootbag DLC or the Completely OVERKILL Pack DLC)
I enjoyed it before I had any DLC, but I did end up picking up most of the mission DLC during Steam sales since I was spending a lot of my time playing anyway.
I gotta jump on this
Agreed about the weapon handling, this is by biggest gripe with most of the oculus funded games for example. They all seem to always go for the dual-wield everything mode of weapon interactions which removes all "weapon feel".
No he is just resting is hands together to steady his aim, not actually holding the rifle two handed and aiming like that. You can see the second hand just hovering in the air next to the weapon

Most of the Syndicate team is now MachineGames. Even if they weren't, Syndicate VR happening would be highly unlikely given how that game bombed. Which sucks, because the co-op mode would be pretty cool in VR. But yeah, this exists because Payday is a big deal and very successful for Starbreeze and something they're still supporting.
Interesting. I see Brookhaven uses the IMU's for gyro aiming when the player's back is to the camera. What's the grenade throwing, a gesture? Any precision? Just seems like you'd have an inconsistent experience depending on where you're facing.
I don't have time to go back and make a gif, but in the later clips you can see the blue left hand is securely gripping the front of the rifle.
