No Eye Tracking!?!? Noooooooooooooo.....

[Iyney]

What a shame, I know its an extra feature and all but it feels wrong not to have it now - Made FC5 amaaaazing IMHO - kinda gutted they removed it.

I don't know what exactly it is however played both fc5/Nd and didn't notice anything spectacularly different gameplay wise.

Oh I see another add on tech that I'll probably never get.

I fail to see the importance and have about zero sympathy towards your plight.

Good luck on whatever your angle is.

One word: Immersion.

Which is kinda the entire point of gaming. To become immersed in the world that has been created. To wit: eye and head tracking are a +100.

I can't imagine a racing game without it these days, Dying Light was EPIC with it.

Importance is irrelevant. Fun is. Eye tracking is fun. Very much so.

You'd think gamers of all people would embrace new tech which enhances their experience.

Yeah, its a shame as its a frikkin' awesome tech - and it's in so many games now - Ubi ones included (even TPP games like Division 2 is better with it), perhaps as this is essentially a cash grab off the back of FC5 the cost of getting it on board wasn't worth it for as you say a minor demographic..

Tobii Eye Tracker 4C, It's not all that expensive really either - There are a few laptops and monitors with it built in which is pretty cool.

Yeah I'm sure I'll get used to it. I literally finished FC 5 then started this straight away and was like...hoooold uuup.... Aye I know, I just meant that also third person games are, I think at least, better with it - like Div2 is - I imagine (hope) Breakpoint will keep it as it's great in Wildlands as well.

bohoo. Hard coded keybinds still plague most modern games, and that's a far worse offense.
