That .... doesnt look .... good

 

[Robby322]

As long as it feels good, I don't care what it looks like. I am wearing a damn headset.

looks like a sextoy

Feels good or "feels good"?

 

[RealityCheque]

Anything can be a sex toy really, don't you think?

I disagree:

 

[mikefrails]

Or I could play a Wii.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Also should note GB guys were pretty high on this when it was shown at another event.

 

[the-pi-guy]

I disagree:

Someone is not very brave.

Or I could play a Wii.

I don't know why you'd do that. VR is really really cool, and having an accessory like this makes it even cooler.

 

[shintoki]

Why do they have to keep the Vibrator tip

 

[Type40]

The only other gun that looks anywhere close to as good as this one is the Bass Pro wii sharpshooter.

Couldn't they at least try to make it look cool?

They did.

 

[EvB]

I wonder if they were going to do an on stage demo of this? Perhaps some kind of multiplayer game.

The length of the show makes me wonder if something was cut

 

[LongDongJunon]

Hopefully this thing brings on a small resurgence of light gun game collections retooled for VR.

(If that's even possible)

 

[T-Matt]

Some people seems to be missing the fact this has 2 analogue sticks, which can't be replicated by Move + Nav Controller in a shell.

Allows for full range of movement within the game.

A move + nav alone should provide full range of motion right?

 

[Pejo]

Could be functioning as one too... you never know until you've tried it?

Anything can be a dildo, if you're brave enough.

I was expecting one of these. Wonder how much better the tracking is than a PS Move in that gun shaped case (forget the name, it came out last gen).

 

[Tain]

If the PSVR's tracking is anywhere near the same ballpark as Rift/Vive then yeah, it is.

VR is the first time motion controls have approached the speed and accuracy of a CRT light gun.

 

[GodofWine]

That .... doesnt look .... good

When you look at it with your PSVR on, it will look like the most badass assault alien blaster ever.

 

[msdstc]

God I hope the tracking is better now. The drift on the move was awful.

Edit- do we have a thread for farpoint? Thought it looked great.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

This thing is getting more expensive by the minute..

 

[Shifty]

Lawd, I don't think I've ever been so underwhelmed after clicking 'Show Image'.

 

[metareferential]

So it's basically a refresh of the sharpshooter?

 

[Iorv3th]

It actually looks like the plastic around the 'nav controller' could come off and maybe it's just a shell for it?

 

[JP]

It's a real shame, if only Sony was willing to sell people a headset that would prevent them being able to see the Aim Controller while playing VR games.

 

[Dreez]

Sony, add a sling to this, create a handgun one, and let me switch weapons by simply picking it up!!

 

[data]

The people who say this looks like a dildo must be used to some very loose holes.

 

[Shane89]

what about black with another color for the bulb?

 

[eFKac]

SharpShooter Evolved

Speaking of, any difference between these besides ergonomy?

 

[sono]

But I bought some moves years ago

 

[Cartho]

Modern day lightgun.

VR Time Crisis please.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Can a mod change this thread title to Dildos |OT|

Thanks

 

[capylikesgames]

I feel like this won't see too much use, most VR games want both hands to be available seperately from each other, and with good reason. I want to say they should've had a casing to hold both controllers instead, but I understand that would mean the Move's buttons wouldn't be accessible. Hm.

 

[Katori]

Dual joysticks? I actually like this, this is cool. I have bought many crappy gun peripherals and will happily buy this if supported.

Even better if it can be easily one-handed and used with another Move controller.

 

[formasymphonic]

Looks a lot more consumer friendly and less dudebro / niche gamer than sharp shooter.

Less threatening and fits well with the Morpheus design launguage imo.

I like it.

 

[TTP]

Speaking of, any difference between these besides ergonomy?

the new one comes with a second analog stick (at the back) + different button placements.

I think it's not so much about being casual friendly or adhering to the headset design language.

I believe the gun design is as minimalistic as it is in order "fit" most kinds of virtual weapons eventually mapped onto it and, most importatly, to avoid the user hurting himself or damagin the headset when aiming down the sights (hence the rounded design with no protrusions - and no shoulder stock).

It looks pretty cleverly designed to me. The only thing that bothers me is that it apparently lacks rumble. If true, that's a wasted opportunity.

 

[Lonely1]

Pointer aiming on th Wii/U/OG Move offered greater aiming accuracy and speed with slight wrist movements for existing games. This seems to be geared as a gun simulator for VR.

 

[Shifty Capone1]

As long as it feels good, I don't care what it looks like. I am wearing a damn headset.

Same for me, but man some of the other ones do look a lot better... Maybe it's good that it looks hilarious. Streams will be so funny to watch

 

[RealityPales]

Nope. Learned my lesson from Move peripherals. Fuck that.

 

[Cartman86]

And if I turn around?

 

[Fisty]

And if I turn around?

Youll strangle yourself with the headset cord

 

[TTP]

And if I turn around?

The game (Farpoint) is most likely designed to avoid that. I bet both levels and enemy behaviour are designed so that the player's actions will occur within a 180° fixed area in front of him.

 

[Clockwork5]

I disagree:

Gotta go fast...

 

[Croatoan]

And if I turn around?

Why would you do that? There is nothing behind you .

 

[qa_engineer]

And if I turn around?

the IMU can still provide general positional information. However, the gun obviously wont be accurately tracked since it has no other visible sensors the PS4 can use to construct a pose. This is easily combated by something developers call "GAME DESIGN"

The headset can be tracked in 360 degrees because it has LEDs on the rear.

 

[TalonJH]

It's a Move, the ball changes colors.

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Sega. Menacer.

It's back.

 

[The Beard]

A car tire?

 

[formasymphonic]

A car tire?

part of me wants to see if you are right or wrong on this, but then my better judgement kicks in and wants to avoid what it would do to my search history or any online profile of me.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I'll probably grab this. Sharpshooter is clunky to have to use when you're also using the move wand for other games.

 

[Alucrid]

A car tire?

that's a stretch

 

[dubq]

Looks stupid. They really need that pink ball at the end point??

You know those balls can change colours right?

 

[RedAssedApe]

I'm assuming they have to design it in a way where it's not gonna look like a real weapon. Hence why it "doesn't look cool"?
