Farpoint is awesome, and is deploying on 16th May. The Starship Troopers-esque first-person shooter sees you whisked away to an alien planet, where you're armed to the teeth and tasked with taking down giant alien bugs. The title – developed by Impulse Gear – will launch alongside the PlayStation VR Aim Controller, a light gun-esque PlayStation Move powered weapon which is represented in 3D space within the game.
It's unclear whether the game will be bundled with the machine gun shaped accessory or not, but we hope that it is because it's a big part of the release's appeal. As explained in the video above, you're able to physically aim down the sights of the weapon in order to line up your shots, which is so much more fun than squeezing L2. Is this one you're planning to pick up? Pull the trigger in the comments section below.

I want it IF it comes bundled with the controller at a not too huge a price point. But the idea with the peripheral looks amazing.
I think it's hard to justify purchasing another peripheral like this when I have the Sharpshooter still lying around.
I would atleast wait for a price drop, and if so, only based on a solid amount of reports that the game works fine without motion sickness issues.
This could be a landmark game for VR if it proves that the fps genre can really work, the key is that controller though which needs to be bundled. At the moment we either use the dual shock or the move controllers, so either walk around or interact with the environment. This is a step towards doing both and potentially introducing mainstream games into the mix, think of the possibilities for the likes of Doom, Battlefront and COD/Battlefield.
Hopefully this will be a fun game and May is looking good for myself and VR with both this and Star Trek coming 😃
£10 and hour, and that's before adding on the cost of the controller.
FPS with no multiplayer?
I think expectations will be dampened on release.
I will stay with Dirt - cost me a fraction of that and I will still be playing it this time next year!
Mine has been preordered for a while here in the states. Gamestop had a bundle available for $79.99 not sure if a bundle is still available for preorder at this point.
