PSVR has come a long ways as they are closing in on one million units sold. That has invigorated Sony to get their Aim controller out to the public on May 16th for the shooter game Farpoint. VR devices such as a trackable gun device greatly add to the immersion while playing games. Sony was forward thinking about their less dexterous users by giving the option of using one analog stick control or two. So if you are susceptible to motion sickness then you don't have to concentrate on using but one analog stick. Of course if you're more advanced then there is a dual analog input option available. Very smart thinking!

Farpoint is already promising on its own, but having such a tool available will do wonders for players as they move more naturally and don’t have to adjust to a different style of locomotion such as teleportation. Better yet, the accessory presents an option for other developers that are working on shooters and/or simply would like to add a more fluid mode of locomotion to their existing games as well. Gamestop has a bundle including Farpoint and the controller listed for $79.99 but this could possibly be placeholder as this listing doesn’t have the correct release date. We’ll update with more information in the future.
 
This VR-business is a conspiracy I tell you, it's all about one-upping to see what company can make their customers look most ridiculous.

;)
 
These guys are going full Nintendo with their peripherals.

I've been happy enough just dual-wielding the Move controllers, but something I could aim a little better could be nice. Then again, I don't know if it'll even matter.

Awesome news. My PSVR has been collecting dust for a while now and it'll be nice to dust it off with Farpoint. The gameplay looks really promising if they can pull it off.
 
6 posts and no one jumping on this?

Seriously, how horrible to design a gun that has to look as little like a gun as possible to keep the public happy?

You will see 3rd party cases and addons for this in no time.

I do like the idea, could be a fun addon as long as they don't take the accessory thing too far.
 
I'm sure the Mrs will find a use for this...
 
I hugely doubted Sony until I tried PSVR with move controllers. As dumb as it looks it likely works fantastic.

Maybe it's meant to be used in VR, not the real world? The less complicated the part, the cheaper it is to produce.

On the plus side, if you want a replica, or a real, weapon, there are companies that already make those! Best of both worlds.
 
Let's begin the countdown until someone is shot by the police while playing with one of these. I thinking it will be Twitch streamer getting swatting while wearing VR goggles playing GTA.
