I mean... it is neat that this exist but controller VR games are so 2015 that I wouldn't even mind if this stays a console exclusive.

Hitman 3 - Sandbox VR trailer (PSVR)
- Thread starter SolidSnakex
- Start date
I'm not a huge fan of the hitman games but in VR I'd play the hell out of them. Hope it makes its way to PC at some point!
Don't write them all off, there's plenty of great controller based VR games
True, true! I don't write off every VR game without tracked controllers... it could be a driving/flight sim, or something like Astro Bot. But a Hitman game where you don't actually use your hands in VR? 🤔
I'm not port begging, but I am trying to understand which platform to purchase on. Is there a chance that this will come to VR on PC? Because if not, I may just want to buy this on PS5 for hopefully a future update to take advantage of the PS5 power.
I hope I'm not setting the bar too high but man... this looks like it's gonna be one of the best VR games ever created! I mean, it looks amazing, plus you can play the whole trilogy in VR - it's crazy!
My PSVR adapter for PS5 arrived yesterday. I'm all set! \o/

If they pull this off, it will be one of if not the greatest VR game ever made. There's just so much content here it's insane.
By the way my PSVR adapter actually came in before my PS5, so I hooked it up day one but have yet to try it due to Genshin Impact, Miles Morales, etc. I've been looking for a reason to try it out and I can't think of a better one.
I've practically retired my PSVR altogether so I suppose I'll just hold out hope that the PC version eventually gets VR support. Still looks utterly fantastic though.
It seems crazy to me that Sony would let this game come out without updated sticks. These are the type of decisions that make people think they're sleep at the wheel.
I love VR and want to play this bad, but they're still selling those shitty PS3 sticks. 😒 sucks.

Another note to add is the PS5 adapter comes with the new versions of PSVR already in the box; the Iron Man bundle. (Or supposed to anyway).
While we know there's not a PS5 'version' with PSVR that doesn't mean they can't set a PS5 enhanced mode (like blood and truth) with the PS4/PSVR version. I wish I could get clarification on the more recent titles if they're actually running an enhanced PS5 mode with the PS4 version.
How the hell did they manage that? It doesn't look like a game that has VR tacked on, it looks like it was built for VR. I trust those devs with my wallet forever.
That's irrelevant because this game is DualShock-only and makes no use of the Moves. Now it's certainly possible that if PSVR2 was out with updated motion controllers they would have made use of them, but that's just conjecture as we don't know all the other factors involved in a decision like that (cost, development, etc.).
😳
Didn't know this was DualShock only. I got the sense from the trailer it would use the sticks, with the way he's shooting and what not..
Still gonna buy and play it, but really wish they'd update the sticks already.
'O what, I totally missed this part. The entire trailer makes it seem like you are using move controllers... So basically you are just playing in first person through the normal game? And all the controls are the same as original hitman?
They are not the same if i remember correctly from some video they released. But overall that video was kinda misleading.
Not quite that basic. You'll still have direct gyro 3D movement of items and weapons. But you'll just be doing it with a controller...it's like if you had your hands bound and interacted with items in the real world. Like, sure you can do it but it's a bit awkward compared to 2 free hands.
Like...I imagine you'll be doing some weird and uncomfortable motions to achieve some of the stuff in this trailer
Wonder if they allow lock on for throwing items in VR, some tricky situations require the snap and lock on for a quick reflex throw.
The tap on the shoulder, lol. This looks great.
I think I'm going to set up my PS4 as a dedicated PSVR station somewhere, might finally use it a bit more that way.

It'll be because the Move controllers don't have thumbsticks so there's no good solution for actually moving 47 around. Teleporting or holding the Move button probably doesn't work well with the mechanics they have in place. It's a shame that Sony never really bothered to update the Move controllers to have both hand tracking and some sort of thumbstick for movement.
I wonder if they could get the Aim controller working though.
Just to get this straight before I figure out which copy to pre-order...
Does buying the PS5 version, the PS4 key, would that be able to install on a PS4 Pro or nah? (since it's in the library)
Cause my original plan was to buy the PS4 version so I could do VR and not install the game twice on PS5.
Logistically at that point it should be in your library and shouldn't matter which system it's being installed on, but maybe you've got some dev magic to prevent that (which I totally understand)
I only bring it up because of the current PS5 bug where leaving a PS4 disc in the drive will keep trying to install the PS4 version.
edit: I see this was already addressed, sorry bout that
If skyrim and no man's sky can get it working I'm sure hitman could have. Thumb sticks would have been ideal obviously but we don't have that luxury. Why Sony didn't ever let us use the navigation controller for games like this is beyond me. But I don't see why the no man's sky system wouldn't work...teleporting wouldn't since it would break the whole gameplay if you can just teleport around. But button "acceleration" with full duel hand VR control is better than what they've opted for here imo.
I hope it gets patched in tbh.
I've never played a Hitman game but this looks really fun. If it makes its way to PCVR with hand tracking I'll be ready.
Still going to get this on Xbox (Since that's where all my Hitman content is) but will likely buy it again later down the line just for the VR stuff.
