Yoshida: Project Morpheus ‘has to be really, really good.’

Today’s PlayStation Experience event in Las Vegas has already heralded two new additions to the Project Morpheus line up, Endnight Games’ The Forest and the inventive Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, but there’s plenty more to come. The headline panel ongoing at present centres around virtual reality (VR) and specifically Project Morpheus.

the fact that many didn't realize the true purpose of the PS Camera just speaks volumes as to the true scope of what Sony are trying to accomplish this console generation! The ecosystem of the PS4, The Move Controllers, The Playstation Eye Camera and, Project Morphius are without a doubt a huge undertaking by Sony.

Yoshida was speaking as to how all these components have to come together to create the ultimate Playstation experience and truthfully if they are able to accomplish this goal, the PLaystation although now a force to be reckoned with, would be simply untouchable when it comes to console based technology.

Rimeskeem4181d ago

I completely agree. Having all of these as one will complete with even PC.

n1kki64181d ago

Possibly, but with PC the environment is open, so anyone can buy an oculus, develop for it and push their application to the web. I have an oculus rift and the tech is amazing. It's also great to have game to people develop for it and release for free, along with a community that will figure out a way to patch in support.

With sony, hopefully each morpheus kit can act as a dev kit and they would release the SDK for free, but I don't see that happening.

Omegasyde4181d ago

Played valkerie on the oculus at psx, I was a doubter before but I am no longer after today.

Sadly still no info on price!

Agent_hitman4181d ago

They should announce the line up of games for this amazing peripheral aside from the Summer Lesson new IP from Tekken Team. I'm very excited for this device., honestly.

telekineticmantis4181d ago (Edited 4181d ago )

Want it to be good? Here's a little hint to help you. You have make good games, I noticed Oculus wasnt sharing this info with you, so I thought I'd help. While you're making little gimmicky Wii sports resort games, Oculus is getting some great games and great experiences. "Summer Lesson" what a joke, you think people are gonna pay an extra 2-300 dollars for a porn game and some Wii sports games? SMH... Porn is free lol. And if you really wanna separate yourself from the competition, you should be using the camera for full body control as best you can, I know some nerds are craving the "Sword art online experience, and you have a great opportunity for such.

SoapShoes4181d ago

You realize many Oculous games are already supporting Morpheus and that's where most of its games are coming from, right?

telekineticmantis4181d ago

The best I've seen say they're coming to Oculus, now if you wanna say THAT means it's coming to Morpheus aswell, that's fine, but I don't believe it, until I see it. And if they are, it would be smart to advertise that a little.

Kingdomcome2474181d ago

I really enjoyed the Morpheus panel at PSX today. It was a really earnest informative discussion.

mixelon4181d ago

I say sit on it until we know for sure what the first consumer version of Rift is going to be like, then either undercut it slightly or leapfrog its spec. Either would do it, but I'd go for the latter.

Oculus are likely to bring out a new revision of the Rift every year or two and Sony don't really have that luxury. Sony really need to avoid rushing to market, or Morpheus risks ageing too quickly.

stuna14181d ago

If anything Sony would have the upperhand as far as Morpheus aging with the PS4, because just like Yoshida said Morpheus was made to complement the PS4 spec wise, and knowing all PS4's are cut from the same mold there is actually no need for Sony to come out with a updated version every couple of years. if anything Morpheus will more than likely be able to accept software updates through the PS4.

Occulus on the other hand probably will go through different iteration every couple of years simply because all PC's aren't created equal. Not to mention the hardware specification of PC's are constantly changing every couple of years, therefore the Occulus Rift would also have to go along with those changes in hardware just to be current in specs.

mixelon4181d ago

Ehh, as a dk2 owner that's hogwash. You *will* want revisions because tech is going to improve. It's nothing to do with the spec of the PC/PS4, it's to do with the tech in the headset itself. Once you get on board, the better spec headset the better the experience, and the one that can iterate has a huge advantage.

You don't need new ORs to keep up with the spec of your PC, that's crazy. The OR is just a (very weird) monitor.

I wonder if he tried to stop Shawn Layden from starting it?

Profchaos22d ago

Technically horizon came out in 2020 under Jim Ryan who took over in 2019

It's hard to tell who initiated the project but the Decima engine makes porting to PC fairly easy so who honestly knows if this was Jim's initiative or not I get the feeling it was

Redemption-6422d ago (Edited 22d ago )

It's actually not hard at all. Shawn Layden said he started it. Shawn Layden has confirmed that he was behind the strategy to bring PlayStation exclusive games to PC. Regardless of whether you hate Jim or not this wasn't his idea. It happened during his watch, but it was started before he took over. Below are links with him confirming it started with him

Fake news. He didnt say that.This video was posted on YouTube and on here they decided to change the title. Shame on you.

i81duce23d ago

At 5:16, he literally states the thing you say he doesn’t say. Did you even watch the video?

GotGame81822d ago

Sony already said they weren't porting to PC anymore. Or, at least that is how I interpreted a couple of articles. I think if it were not for Helix, that may not have happened.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga28d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199227d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga27d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman27d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger27d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box28d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion27d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7228d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7528d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit27d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14928d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7728d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
