![]() ![]() Some games get around this by not using the Move controllers, but instead using the PlayStation 4′s DualShock 4 controller. But VR is designed to be a more immersive experience than a traditional video game and having to teleport from spot to spot just ruins the immersion for me. The way many games, like “Batman: Arkham VR,” get around the lack of analog sticks on the Move controller is by having you point the Move controller where you would like to go and then instantly teleport you there. Games like “Job Simulator” do this by having all the action confined to a small space while titles like “Until Dawn: Rush of Blood” do it by having all the movement taking place on rails that force the character down one path that speeds up or slows down when the developer has programmed it to. Without them, developers making games that use the Move controllers have to take the traditional control of movement away from the player. The analog sticks are used for controlling your character’s movement in a 3D space. While the Move controllers have a trigger and plenty of buttons, they’re missing the analog sticks, which are crucial for controlling a game with movement in it. Each of their controllers, one for the left hand and one for the right hand, has its own analog stick, trigger and two face buttons. Oculus, by comparison, released the Touch controllers that were designed specifically for their VR headsets, the Quest and the Rift. To keep the price down, Sony decided against releasing new game controllers designed especially for the VR headset and instead made the headset compatible with their Move controllers, the wandlike motion controllers released in 2009 for the PlayStation 3 to combat the success Nintendo was having at the time with their motion control-based Wii console. The demo is very exciting, having you fly around in the Iron Man suit and eventually trying to save Pepper Potts from a crashing plane.Īs fun as the “Iron Man VR” demo was (and it was great, the game is a definite buy for me), it also highlights the biggest problem with the PSVR, namely its reliance on the old PlayStation Move controllers. The game literally puts you in the shoes and iconic armor of Tony Stark as you go on a brand new adventure unique to the game. The next big exclusive for the PSVR, “Iron Man VR,” comes out July 3 and Sony released a playable demo for the title last week. The bigger issue has been there just haven’t been a lot of games that have made me want to put the headset back on. Part of that is because I have a puppy who likes to chew on cables when he’s not being supervised and it’s hard to keep an eye on your dog when your face is in a virtual reality headset. While it has some great games on it, I haven’t been spending a whole lot of time in virtual reality recently. I’ve owned a PlayStation VR headset since it released in October 2016. ![]()
