Sony's virtual reality

Though Sony acknowledges Morpheus will eventually branch out beyond gaming, for now its efforts are focused squarely on the PlayStation 4.

There's already a bunch of games are in development and PS Move implementation.

thorstein4381d ago

Imagine No Man's Sky with this thing on!

Yaay4me4381d ago

Oh man cant wait. I bet people at E3 are having a blast with Morpheus as we speak in the E3 booths.

wastedcells4380d ago

i played it twice, once was a crapy tech demo but the second time was eve valkarie and that was amazing!! sad to say but in all honestly oculus rift was just slightly better but maybe only because Morpheus is not as finished as oculus seemed to be. there were tooo many adjustments needed to get morpheus to not look blurry.

starchild4380d ago

Well, Oculus Rift has had dev kits out for almost two years and they are probably going to release the consumer Rift before Sony's headset comes out. In all likelihood the Rift will probably have the better specs, but I'm still excited for Morpheus too.

wastedcells4380d ago

I love how people disagree and i played it and they probably havent lol

mrpsychoticstalker4381d ago

I don't have a lot of confidence in this type of technology.

GameDev14381d ago

hahahaha Well Project Morpheus isn't based on your confidence, rather actual gamers.

You literally stalk most Sony articles

MRMagoo1234380d ago

I dont think Sony is concerned with xbone fanboys confidence in the product, its for people that like having the best.

SpideySpeakz4381d ago

I hope Sony's head is in the right place this time around.
VR technology could bring forward something that could revolutionize the electronics business.
Here's my opinion on the future of VR:

1. Morpheus needs to be it's own 'thing', and not an accessory for consoles or PC. It's needs to have a backbone, and it's own brand.

2. I believe VR tech needs to expand beyond just video games. It should act as your own personal device just like your smartphone to surf the web, have it's own UI software, applications, network digital distribution service.

3. A VR device that goes everywhere with you, and doesn't have to be plugged into your PC or console to play video games. Streaming capabilities for movies, or games directly on your VR headset.. or just download them directly to your VR headset. Or, even software applications where you can virtually take a tour through homes you're maybe looking to buy. OR, even using the VR device as navigation when walking or driving. The roads or streets you're driving on will highlight to your destination in realtime.

4. Voice controlled UI, make personal calls through your VR headset, built-in WiFi, built-in 1080p camera for taking pictures and video, or using the camera to just walk around with your VR headset on.

5. As for video games, VR exclusive titles on the VR network.

Also, it's needs to be slimmer, less hulky.

If Sony or Facebook pull this off correctly as listed, with a $299-499 price tag, everyone and their mother is gonna want one, and not just hardcore gamers. The possibilities are just endless with VR.

MultiConsoleGamer4381d ago

Tried it.

Doesn't hold a candle to Oculus Rift.

Will be still born and lose a lot of money.

Utalkin2me4381d ago

Why doesnt it hold a candle to Oculus rift? What did you play and did you use move also with it?

wastedcells4380d ago

he is right but exaggerating big time. Oculus was better but not by much. Morpheus needs a re design because it has too many moving parts to get it focused.

Utalkin2me4380d ago

Again, kids with nothing to back up their comments. Just spouting trash and think they mean something.

Clover9044380d ago

Both Sony and Oculus said that their respective VR headsets are not competing against one another. Please stop the whole Rift vs Morpheus thing.

MultiConsoleGamer4380d ago

But the comparisons are completely valid. Both are used for gaming.

During E3 Sony would give out numbered tickets to try the Morpheus demo. You stepped into one of several different stalls. You stood in front of the PS Eye Camera and put on the Morpheus. Then the Sony rep handed you the two Move controllers. The whole set up is needlessly complicated. And the final product isn't even in the same league as the Oculus Rift.

The only reason Sony is saying their product isn't competing is because they know it's an inferior piece of tech.

Utalkin2me4380d ago

@MultiConsoleGamer

Roflamo, kid you're something special. Again you did nothing to add or back up what you said.

I want to know in detail why there is such a big difference between the 2. I can make the same assumptions from watching a video, such as you did.

BitbyDeath4380d ago

It was a typo, was meant to say 'trolled it'

MRMagoo1234380d ago

pretty much everyone that has tried it have said they want one and its gonna be a game changer, they have also said that is is better than oculus rift , yet here you are the contrary fairy.

AgentSmithPS44380d ago

Thankfully Sony will do just fine without you. Captain Obvious wonders why you'd compare a console product to a PC product. I doubt you can get either of them.

DigitalRaptor4380d ago

God what an undercover troll you are.

Sureeee you tried it. I watched a video @ GDC showing actual developers who confirmed that both are close and both dev kits have areas that they individually excel in.

You are such an undercover Sony detractor.

MultiConsoleGamer4380d ago

You watched a video, I tried it in person.

I have facts, you have personal insults and straw man attacks.

See kid, anyone who was actually at the Expo knows I'm telling the truth. Deal with it. The two products aren't even in the same league.

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot41d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose42d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE42d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername41d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy42d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde42d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8642d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8642d ago (Edited 42d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300042d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle42d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7742d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
