I'll remain cautiously optimistic as that trailer has bull shot written all over it. I also wonder how it will work when they are going to support all movement schemes, room scale, standing, sitting, teleportation, shift, continuous with analog stick (no info for rotation) while also supporting both finger tracking and trigger based.

Doom has shown how badly that can end up. By not committing to any one control scheme, compromises will have to be made. So cautiously optimistic.

VR devs are getting better at supporting multiple options though.

I'll wait for reviews instead of putting blind faith into a developer who hasn't produced anything significant in years... I've played enough VR to say that what was shown in that trailer will never be as good in actual game. However walking around in the half life universe does already make it worth putting up with motion controls.

>I'll wait for reviews instead of putting blind faith into a developer who hasn't produced anything significant in years

1.) They produced The Lab, while it's a demo it's more substantial VR game than most full priced titles.

2.)  Campo Santo is also helping with the development.  

3.)  I also want to throw out there that Valve practically invented the VR industry.  I'd trust them to make the right decisions.

What in the trailer won't be as good?  I'm also not sure what would be a bull shot.  They've been working on this with a lot more resources and time than Boneworks, and that game is ridiculously impressive.  

The perfect matching of the hand movements and objects in the trailer. I have to see it to believe it :) I imagine it to be more on the level of Job simulator in reality. My had movements aren't that steady anymore in real life!

I have not played the lab though, pc exclusive I guess? It's just that motion controls always feel awkward to me so I remain skeptical until proven wrong.
