Eyes-On with PS4's Virtual Reality Headset Project Morpheus

Push Square: "We've known about Project Morpheus – the PlayStation 4's proprietary virtual reality headset – for what feels like an eternity now, so we're definitely reaching that point where it's time for Sony to stop talking about the possibilities for the peripheral, and start proving why it's so important. Fortunately, the platform holder held an event in London earlier this week, and Alex Noon from Arekkz Gaming was in attendance to get some eyes-on time with the futuristic format."

Morpheus has a real chance of mainstream success. It's not tied to multi-configurable high end PC's.
And Games like London Heist and Rigs look promising.

IamTylerDurden13958d ago

RIGS looks fantastic, controlling a large agile mech in VR and battling other mechs in a competitive fps developed by Guerrilla Cambridge.

London Heist is perhaps my most anticipated VR exclusive. It's basically like being in a Guy Ritchie British gangster film, it's the VR version of the Statham/Pitt movie "Snatch". Deadly accurate motion controls (or regular controller if u prefer), car chases, diamond heists, dynamic 3-D audio, and a steady breeze of bullets.

Godling, Kitchen, Trackmania Turbo, The Deep, Eve Valkyrie, No Man's Sky (probable), Adrift, Ark, Get Even, Dreams, Technolust, Warthunder, and Project Cars to name a few more confirmed Morpheus titles.

I can't wait, Day1 for me.

Sounds so awesome when you name all the games like that! :D

Arksey should be pretty awesome on morpheous and I may just have to get no mans sky if it's on VR.

I hope Project Morpheus will be a success, but Oculus Rift has the real chops to give a really good experience.

Whereas Project Morpheus has a real chance of giving you a very low quality Wii like experience including massive latency due to the frame interlacing they do to try and smooth out the experience. This interlacing also introduces blurriness i.e. all the bad things a VR unit shouldn't do and contributes to VR sickness.

Oculus Rift right of the bat has a higher resolution screen and a real 90fps experience. On top of this Windows 10/PC will have superior software catalog with an open platform.

Unless Project Morpheus is significantly cheaper than Oculus Rift, I'm sticking with the Rift!

Gazondaily3958d ago

Yeah but accessibility is a big thing. With Morpheus I just need the headset and a camera and im sorted. Even if it is entry level vr, it will still be done on gaming dedicated hardware. Sony will no doubt commission loads of first party studios to support the device.

Yes OR will potentially give the best vr experience technically because its not tied down to fixed specs, but I'm more excited about Morpheus because my hardware is ready for it. Simple plug in and play solution.

"low quality wii like experience"
*looks at people that play the heist*
Right....
Pc has the bigger chops for that but let's be honest the things that have been shown on the pc are most likely coming to project morpheus as well. However the same can't be said about games that come exclusively to the ps4.

Genuine-User3957d ago (Edited 3957d ago )

What a load of crock. Games on Project Morpheus don't look like low quality Wii like experiences.

Adrift - https://www.youtube.com/wat...

With Morpheus the latency has been reduced to less than 18 milliseconds, along with an increased viewing angle of 100 degrees.

You don't really know what you're talking about at this point.

Tech Radar reports: The latency remained good. I couldn't detect any jitter and controllers didn't lose tracking in-game in anything I played.

Trusted Reviews: Morpheus still impresses and with the roster of games growing every month, we could see the PS4 headset giving the Steam VR-compatible HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift a good run for their money. VR can work on a console after all.

kmanmx3957d ago (Edited 3957d ago )

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

For a start.. Interlacing is nothing to do with the 120hz screen. It's a genuine 120hz display and interlacing does not come into play anywhere. You either run games at native 120hz or you run them at 60hz with a slightly wider viewport than the screen displays, and then the display still updates at 120hz but uses a clever form of frame doubling that takes into account your updated head position with each frame.

Morpheus is not as good as a Rift, but it is still very good - and if you develop a game that really does run at native 120hz, it's flat out better.

After 30 years of gaming, I'm ready for my journey into the VR gaming universe. Bring it.

VINNIEPAZ3958d ago

Same here. I hope to death they support it and get it right.

fOrlOnhOpe573958d ago

@ VINNIEPAZ
The WILL because they HAVE to.

TrashDubbaOne3958d ago

Can't wait. Rigs looks absoluety amazing.

sactownlawyer9163958d ago

Hopefully we see more at tgs. Can't wait.

_-EDMIX-_3958d ago

Agreed, I need to see more of Summer Lessons....I...I need that in my life.

mkis0073958d ago

Some of these demos are making me want it. Especially the positive word of mouth on the weight and feel.

Cacabunga54d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot53d 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…

HectixRose54d 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.

JEECE54d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername53d 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.

Soy54d ago

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

DarXyde53d 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.

Ashunderfire8653d 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.

Ashunderfire8653d ago (Edited 53d 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.

pwnmaster300054d 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.

solideagle54d 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

Relientk7753d ago

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