thank you! is there any difference between that aim controller and the thing sony released for the ps3 where you put those two controllers in the gun shell?



it's not the same thing but i have no idea if you can con it into working with the ps3-ish one

the movement in farpoint means you can like look at the side of your gun realistically (by lifting your aim controller and "looking" at its side)

I just bought the PS4 aim controller thing from gamestop for $59

is there any reason i see used ones going for $80 on ebay? is there some weird money laundering scheme that i am not privy to?

The first 5 minutes of eve valkyrie is insanely cool and atmospheric, but then it's a giant disappointment when you realize there's no single player campaign and just a bunch of random skirmishes with little variety and it gets old really fast.

I want a VR remake of the old space opera classics like Freespace 2

Lets hope the windows AR hype keeps VR on life support long enough for the hardware to get better.

i don't know about that but maybe you're thinking of dust 514 for the ps3, their first-person shooter? the psvr one is the spaceship combat game

dust 219 or whatever was incredibly bad. did it even make it out of "beta" before getting canned? the entire gimmick of the game was to have the worlds interact which... basically didn't happen afaik

Ccp held back from actually integrating the sovereignty mechanics and in-game currency. Supposedly, major roadblocks were not just in game design, but in the developer's capacity to understand their 2000s era codebase.

Oh, and no PC launch. For a PC game universe.

this doesn't track with the graph because it's showing sony with more sales and the ps4 is thoroughly poo poo, the xb1x moreso

moreover it's including nintendo in a graph of console sales which is inaccurate as nintendo makes gaming devices, not consoles

despite spending approximately infinity dollars microsoft has never had the best selling console, xbox got murdered by the ps2, 360 got outsold 2:1 by the wii [and eventually passed by the ps3] and the xbone has been like 1/2 the ps4 for almost its entire life and is on track for the switch to pass it as well even though it released 3 years later

microsoft got into the console business to beat sony and the only two consoles they've ever outsold are the gamecube and the wii u

moreover, all the 4k patches for their leading games basically doubled the size of the game, negating any benefit in upgrading from a 500GB xbox
