Tried it have you? No need to feel bad, I for one am loving it and happy with my purchase.

If the money is going to make a significant dent then it's not worth it. If your circumstances are good then why not. Resi 7 is awesome in VR, Farpoint looks great and there are some other decent titles. It will take time to get a good library of AAA compatible games. When it comes down to it, £500 is about 5 nights out on the ale. Stay at home and play! :smile:

Looking forward to this. Hopefully show off some more of the PSVR potential. Let's see if Amazon will price match my preorder. Hot by the way.

Thanks but I've clocked up plenty of hours already with Dirt Rally, Driveclub, Resident Evil as well as some of the smaller games.

Good find! :smiley:

Nice find, have cross posted to the PSVR thread :smiley:

Does look cool. Had watched a video of someone previewing the title. It seemed a tad boring but the concept is there.
Would love to see a cod/Bf quality game in this set up.

Best game I played at the psvr promotion thingy they did a while back

For some reason im a gold member with Shopto so I always get 5% off, £66.50 for me, shame they stopped doing Quidco a few years ago

Not got one yet but from reading up on these that'll be another £70 on top of £350 for the headset, £20ish for the camera and £70 again for the move controllers......can you really justify £500 ballpark for that with the current games that are released? Is it worth it honestly?

I feel bad for anyone who wasted money on this VR garbage especially PSVR.

does anyone know if Amazon will price match this?

That person always like to pee on people's chips. Never a positive word said about anything, ever.

This^

Thats good because thats the only AAA game this gimmick will get. Enjoy!

PSVR is great but this game has had worryingly mediocre previews since conception. I can see the reviews now, wonderful accessory but average game, gun will be great when other games support it (which they probably won't).

am enjoying it thanks

That is a ridiculous-looking monstrosity of a controller housing TBH

no need to feel bad, been gaming for 35 years and psvr is by far the most enjoyable in that time

Ha yeah, I expect he's salty because the only deals he posted went freezing, so has resulted to bad mouthing all deals.

I've got a gun attachment from the PS3/Move - will that work with Farpoint or do you have to get the PSVR Aim?

Me too. No doubt I'd love more games but Resi, Batman and Rush of Blood are nothing short of amazing.

Had assumed it was just a plastic housing for the Move controller, but now I see it's not, it's even more ridiculous. Not only is it fugly, it looks unwieldy.

More money-grabbing fom $ony :disappointed:
That's purely because there's already a lot of 3rd party products that would suffice which they wouldn't get a cut on.
As if PSVR owners haven't already paid their premium to ease this technology into the mainstream - it's a pass from me then :man:

The new vr gun will be compatible for future psvr games.

For anyone not sure about how well the game works control wise, I got to play the demo for this before PS VR launched. It was the first thing I played in VR and it sold me on it. The demo was great fun, controlled well and showed a lot of potential. It was really quite immersive and seeing other life sized characters' holograms standing next to you, talking to each other with proper motion capture for the faces as well is pretty amazing. The gun controller itself can be used for other games but it was built specifically for this game to start off with and it has full 360 aiming, something you don't get with normal PS VR controllers.

For comfort, the gun controller feels great in the hands. Feels natural and like the on screen weapon when in VR, it's light and has just enough weight to it. Accuracy wise, it was 1:1 aiming. There was some challenge in the demo at bits when it threw loads of enemies at me and my accuracy was 100% because it just works and it's much easier to just tilt a shotgun up and shoot something that's in the air, flying at you whilst you look around for other dangers.

It also has 2 analogue sticks with the front one being used for free movement and it works really well, it's the proof that this is the way to go instead of that teleporting stuff other games do. Feels less restrictive and adds more immersion.

My main hope after this is that we see more games like this making use of free movement and the gun controller and some taking both of those and applying it to co-op and multiplayer.


Just quoting you so you'll get notified. It's not just a plastic shell that houses PS Move controllers, it does a whole lot more. Standard PS Move controllers aren't fully up to the job which resulted in people getting motion sickness and stuff in testing alongside a whole bunch of tracking issues I'd imagine.

I'll jump in at this price. Nice one poster.

"Gun-based shooter" is a small subset of games but within the already small subset that is VR games makes it a fairly niche gadget.
Saying that, I haven't tried it myself and with comments showing up like I can see that VR might bring something new to the table which they tried and failed at with 3D TV (Black Ops II aiming down the sights was hillarious in 3D).
It stll begs the question, why not allow the existing gun solutions?

I can't play resi 7 on it, I feel sick after a few mins. I can't bring myself to play it

I have been fortunate enough to play this at a playstation VR expo late last year. Was the higlight of the day IMO. Heat.

What an ugly piece of junk

VR is going the way of 3D.

Comparing a phone to a VR headset that makes you look silly wearing it. Just to let you know PS Vita and Wii U also had strong sales at launch and we all know how much of a flop those two were.

That comparison came directly from NYT.

For someone that doesn't like PSVR darkspace seems to be following thread carefully haha
I smell a troll, perhaps a troll weeping over his Xbox.

I own a PS4 and don't even own a Xbox. People like you are idiots. You don't like X's products so you must be Y's fanboy. Great logic.

Congrats on the edited response. How many times before you got it right?

Crazy how vocal people are about hardware they don't own. If you don't like it, fine but why go out your way to slate it? What a full life they must lead.

£20 for offshore shipping despite being on this island that is the united kingdom

stuff that shopto lost this sale

Don't be. I'm spending money on stuff that is actually worth buying.

I hope you troll posts about lipstick and barbie dolls that you don't want either. That's if you're not too busy spamming "what a save" on rocket league whilst leaving the goal to collect boost.

Thats exactly what I do. I love rubbing the salt in. Feels good.

Ok little man, we get it.

You mean 100 a night on just ale then your a machine, id hate do rounds with you :confused: im off it on 10 pints :laughing:

Not a bad price for a new controller and VR game, cheaper than the £110 I spent on Forza 3 Ultimate Edition and the Expansion Pack! Don't think I'll ever get over Microsoft not including DLC in an Ultimate Edition :disappointed:

Looking forward to farpoint and seeing how emersive movement will be, this could be a game changer in VR

Thanks OP, ordered :smiley:

Move controllers from the PS3 work just fine. I bought mine years ago and work perfect with the PSVR which i might add is worth every penny in my opinion. Great bit of kit.

Far sooner spend the money on games, and something I enjoy than P***ing it up against the wall on a sat night, and nothing to show but empty pockets and a horrendous hangover!
