Oh ready for the best light gun game you've ever played this is the PlayStation aim controller a new motion controller from Sony for the PlayStation VR headset coming out this October it is radically different than any controller we've seen before from the company although they had a previous controller called the sharp shooter which put a PlayStation Move controller at a motion controller together so you can get a limited range of motion in virtual reality this here is designed to give you pinpoint precision in games it has a lot of the features you've come to expect for PlayStation including Ant dual analog sticks front of back d-pad so you can navigate around in games and the triggers fronted back so you can play also there is an ambidextrous reload button on either side our one button on either side of the controller so you can quickly stick new shells in your shotgun and things like that regardless of whether you're using your right index finger or your left index finger to make it happen one thing you won't find on this controller is a touchpad the button up top here replicates the function of the DualShock for touchpad when you're pressing down but there's no ability to swipe across it this is designed more for aiming guns and bows in virtual reality I just tried it with an assault rifle and a shotgun in a game called Farpoint that's going to be coming out with this controller probably sometime after the PlayStation VR launch we don't know when yet we don't know quite how much it'll cost yet but it feels extremely accurate compared to any other light gun game I've ever played as soon as I put the headset on my head brought it down the face mask over the front of the controller it turned into a virtual gun and it aimed exactly where I thought it would aim in addition to the controller itself feeling like a gun it also helps cement you a little bit in the virtual world when you've got a headset on typically the CVR system can only track your head but with the aim as well as the head tracking it can kind of tell where your arms are where your wrists are in virtual reality and as you turn your body you could feel more like you're there that's the PlayStation aim controller don't know when it's coming and don't know what it cost quite yet but it will be for the PlayStation VR virtual reality has sir
