You’ll have no doubt seen the VR game at some stage or another. You can’t miss it really, as Sony have been sure to include footage of Farpoint and VR players using the new AIM controller in various PlayStation VR marketing trailers.
“Farpoint transports you to a distant alien world where you’ll need to contend with hostile lifeforms and hazardous environments as you explore your surroundings, piece together what happened and search for a way home.” reads a Sony blog post.
The PlayStation VR exclusive is the first PS VR title to make use of a dedicated VR Aim Controller, which allows users to aim via the weapon’s virtual scope.
“The controller’s built-in motion sensors and sphere work with the PS Camera to track your movements, offering pin-point accuracy as you take on the planet’s hostile inhabitants,” Sony explains.
“On top of this, built-in rumble features, will deliver immersive real-time feedback every time you squeeze the trigger.”
