Paves the Way For More VR First-Person Shooters
When you think about the kinds of game that would, in theory, work perfectly in virtual reality, first-person shooters always spring to mind. The London Heist portion of Playstation VR Worlds was a perfect example of this, but we have been treated to very little else that could be considered a traditional first-person shooter. Even other first-person games such as Resident Evil 7 or RIGS weren’t as focused on shooting as they were on movement and the world you were exploring. However, if Farpoint is successful, we will surely see more shooters come to PlayStation VR, or at least smaller experiences.
If this fall’s huge shooters were to have PlayStation VR components then the popularity of Sony’s headset would likely increase dramatically. A Call of Duty: WWII first-person shooter level, or another Star Wars Battlefront experience would attract a crowd that had never before been interested in virtual reality. Should Farpoint prove to be a success then it could lead to more shooters being developed.
