Playing with a controller has never ruined my immersion when I've played with Oculus Rift...

You're one person and it depends on what games you are playing. In 'The Kitchen' for instance, they went with the Dualshock because whilst holding it on your lap it fooled the brain into thinking your hands are tied. In 'the Heist', they demoed it with two MOVE controllers because they could fool the brain into believing you were holdiing a gun and a clip. With some games it won't matter but the moment it becomes a 'workaround' (as it did with the Dualshock/MOVE controller combo), it begins to unravel. Like I said though, the MOVE needs a redesign because it still doesn't feel that comfortable in your hand and it's too straight. It needs to be slightly angled down at the end so you're not twisting your wrist too much.


Well yeah, I'm not too keen on the idea of using a DS4 as a Move controller substitute, but you can have a standard control scheme in a VR game, and a controller doesn't break your immersion in those games. You don't really think about the controller, regardless of if you're wearing a VR headset or if you're not. You basically forget that you're holding it, despite using it to control.
