VR Shooter Farpoint Has a Release Date
Farpoint, a VR shooter from the minds over at Impulse Gear, looked promising back when we saw it at E3. Set in space on a far-off planet, the game seems to emphasize natural dialogue between its characters, as well as the typical man-shoots-monsters-in-space setup.
And it looks like we'll be getting our hands on it soon. Sony has just announced the game will be available on May 16 for PlayStation VR to coincide with the release of PSVR Aim controller, a peripheral that emulates the feel of a gun while in virtual reality.
You can watch the E3 trailer for Farpoint below.
