At last year’s E3 we showed you the first gameplay footage for virtual-reality sci-fi shooter . In development exclusively for PlayStation VR, 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.
One of the unique twists for developer ‘s debut title is the new PlayStation VR Aim controller, which puts the game’s high-concept weaponry directly into your hands and allows you to aim via the weapon’s virtual scope for first-person precision.
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. On top of this, built-in rumble features, will deliver immersive real-time feedback every time you squeeze the trigger.
Those who prefer more familiar controls the Dualshock 4 wireless controller is fully supported as well.
The team at Impulse Gear is also excited to announce that Farpoint will feature online co-op play at launch. This extra mode will allow you and a friend to buddy up and enter previously completed levels to tackle enemy hoards side-by-side, racking up points for kills and accuracy as you go.
Since its first reveal, the response from hands-on impressions with the new tech has been incredible and we’re excited that everybody will be able to play the game in just a few short months!
Farpoint launches on 17th May and will be available at retail as a standalone game or bundled along with the PS VR aim controller for that extra level of immersion.
The standalone game is priced at €59.99 RRP, or for €89.99 RRP you can pick up the Farpoint + PS VR aim controller bundle. Alternatively, you can also purchase digitally via PlayStation Store.
Additionally, players who pre-order the bundle or standalone game will get access to the Red Planet Wanderer Spacesuit – an exclusive UEP skin to wear in-game – to give you a stand-out look for your first outing into Farpoint’s alien world.
