Farpoint for instance without VR would be considered a "bad" shooter as it is WAAAAY dumbed down compared to something like Battlefield/CoD/Titanfall/*insert random FPS here* |
It's not VR that makes it a mediocre shooter. Comparing it to extremely high budget shooters isn't "insert random fps"...
Some things work much better in FarPoint.
Aiming through the sights is very natural and easy to do.
It's much easier to quickly aim between multiple targets or shoot one way while checking another direction, some of the boss encounters will be much harder without VR plus AIM as well as the timed challenges.
Hiding behind cover is completely natural, no problem with sticky or auto cover as in traditional shooters.
It's also much easier to shoot from cover, around the side, over the top, through cracks. You can peer through a crack while holding the gun over your head to shoot.
The walking speed is indeed dumbed down, hopefully devs will come over the fear of motion sickness and stop limiting movement for those that are accustomed to VR. Yet what you get extra in complete control over the gun and usage of cover already makes it a much better way to play shooters. AZ Sunshine with the AIM controller is pretty good already.
