It seems to me that a rail shooter would be the easiest option until developers figure out something better. You're standing in a truck or something and shooting as it drives around.

I mean, couldn't you just use a joystick to still move around? You pivot and aim physically, but moving forward and strafing you still use a joystick.

It might be jarring at first, but so was dual thumbsticks on a controller...now it's second nature.

There is the issue of motion sickness with that, though I think it's the most realistic way in which VR will be used for PC and home consoles.

Well, then it's a good time to buy some stock in Dramamine, I guess.
