Gave the beta a quick go and I'm impressed. The short range teleport is a bit weird though.

Anyway, add another title to the list of games the vr naysayers are going to say "doesn't count"

>telerportation

i'll pick when they stop being fucking pussies
and let me choose for a smooth locomotion

Moving with controls is probably an option but I haven't checked yet.

Still, it's a interesting take on teleporting. You can only place the marker a few meters at a time, so you have to 'step' to areas instead of having inhuman Nightcrawler powers.

How come there's no VR foot pedal?

How would that work?

Sandal pedals, pedals with straps? Pulling up would turn you depending on what foot you're using. Right foot press would make you go forward. Left foot would reverse you.

A foot pedal!?

There's a mod for free locomotion up on the Vive part of le antenna alien site

There is foot tracking. Either with sensors on the feet or juryrigging a Kinect to track your whole body.

I don't think the controls you suggest would feel very natural but it would be interesting to see if stepping in place is an option. Some games have had some success with using the arms to 'pull' the player around.

Payday is a cool game for VR though. We need more first person games in general to get VR treatment.
