Ok, that's how the controller will work. Somehow I can't find anything on multi-plats making use of those controls in VR, though. So i'm thinking games built on PSVR first and ported, or even simultaneously developed, to the other VR devices seem to have the better chance of taking advantage of DS4's features rather than the other way around as some developers may shoot for a common denominator.

How do you hold the control with one hand for prolonged periods of time? I tried it, and it feels... Unnatural.

I assume you'd have to use it in your right hand?

I'll be picking up Rift and Vive, I'll be reselling one of them though when I see which one I prefer. The Vive currently has the more robust tracking out of the box but my main concern is the ergonomics (it's still about as heavy as a Rift DK2) as opposed to the Rift which is incredibly light and the Vive still suffers from the screen door effect where the Rift has it diminished so it's virtually unnoticeable. I'll see which one's best for me April when I get them home.

Actually, its the left hand from my experience. Also take note that you won't be using any analog sticks to take away from any extra support of the controller.

That would feel worse. (I'm right handed) would totally feel unnatural. They should just make it all or nothing.

Half arsing it never gets used, other than for novelty sake. Its like, yelling voice commands at your kinnect for random games, or even the move options that the DS4 already has. Or even the touch pad. They're only ever used for frivolous things in games.

Ok, put it this way... Because some people aren't as well off as others, it can prove difficult for them to get both PSVR and a Move controller, let alone two. So they keep the entry level as low as possible yet versatile for everyone, hence the light bar on the DualShock 4 acting as an entry Move controller. With the other competitors, its either the sub core entry or the elite. There is no middle ground.

As far as usage/support goes, the DualShock 3 and Move supported a very similar feature if you didn't have a navigation controller, and it, too, was supported quite regularly by devs for games that did support Move. :) So believe me when I tell you that the Move + DualShock 4 combination will support a very similar option.

Mainly only hand motion is used this time, which means you won't have to fumble with the analog sticks anymore if you do only get the DS4 + Move combination.

You replied with negativeness towards VIVE when I said I had my eye on it.

I replied saying I'll be buying both, I stated the pros and cons of both, the Vive has a more robust 360 tracking system out of the box but has a more pronounced screen door effect and is less ergonomic than the Rift, didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. Certainly wasn't trying to antagonise you.

I'm not here to start taking sides between multinational companies, I just want the best VR experience possible. I'm certainly not advocating anyone here to go out and spend a fortune on PC and VR headset. I've said many times the PSVR will be a great hmd and that's what I'd recommend anyone here buy if they want to buy a VR headset unless they already own a powerful PC or want the very best VR experience.

Tommy I am not close to being mad @ you.(you are a good poster)
But you did seem to show your OR preference in the face of my showing VIVE/PSVR preference.

Fair enough, no harm done to you or me, lets get back to being excited for VR. Sorry if I rubbed you up the wrong way, you do the same sometimes. I put you on block before but realised this place wasn't half as fun without you so keep it real Val. Off to watch the Revenant now so I'll pop back on later.

I played a demo on the Vive (some bicycle powered race) at PAX, and I actually thought the screen was worse than the GearVR if not barely on par. I don't know what version it is though. I will say that positional tracking does make a pretty good improvement.

I wanted to try the Rift, but the line was really long, and I don't have much patience anymore, lol.
