Decoupled aming method?

[F-Tang Keiros]

Is there a way to decouple the aiming? (So you don't walk where you look, you walk where your virtual body is oriented). I somehow managed to do it the cube hub area, but it re-coupled in the desert in act 1. Decoupled is a much nicer experience in VR, would be nice to know if it's a bug or what have you.

As of right now there isnt. I will look into this some more.
The hub world shouldnt have done that :S So ill look into whats causing that too

Thanks

No problem. I'll be sure to post any and all bugs and oddities I come across.

Here's another vote for decoupled aiming. I know it's probably going to involve semi-serious code changes, and that there is discussion in the VR community whether it's actually better or not... but I definitely prefer it.

Yeah, I feel it's much better. When, in real life, do you always go where your looking? You don't. Else we would constantly be walking into walls.

One more vote for decoupled aiming, really needed for proper immersion imo.

+1. Playing with a keyboard it is even more important, because my keybaord is fixed facing "forwards" in relation to my VR (and real) body.

+1 on that :) de-coupled is awesome (HL2 uses *partly* decoupled aiming and I've had a much better experience)
