What other titles? Gran Turismo 7.
It'll sell Project Morpheus like hotcakes.

The camera is required for Project Morpheus. Guess the camera is of use afterall.

I think $300 - $400 would be a good price for this. I'm seriously more excited about how they would simulate virtual surround in accordance to where you look in the game or what's happening around you instead. Proper HRTF needs to come back.

Sony (well devs rather) will be finally using AMD's TrueAudio for the PS4 but on Project Morpheus instead.

Here's a demo -



Use headphones only!


While HRTF/binaureal is nothing new (really believe it or not, it's a technology that has existed since the 90s, go figure), I seriously hope Sony do not keep this just to games made for their VR headset. I have a stinky feeling somewhere they would, leaving normal users who uses normal headphones out of the fun.

Sony is targeting a $300 price point for Morpheus. Hmmm... $50 cheaper than Oculus Rift.

Pretty sure we are at least a year away from Morpheus and Rift.
Next year's E3 will be all about VR, this year it is still about games.

Candy Crush in VR.......

Can they be any less creative with the name?

Hopefully this is no more than $299, that's the sweet spot IMO.

And.. Let's not forget how Sony treated the Move, lol.

SCEE exec says that they would be pricing PSVR as a "new gaming platform", will come with 10 games at launch (which as you'd expect, majority of which are glorified tech demos).
The pricing means 2 things; it'd either be $300 or $400.
If it's the latter, the PSVR is destined to fail until it drops in price. It's going to be in 2017 before we would even see a AAA release on the PSVR, 2016 is going to be a flash flood of glorified tech demos.

Remember, VR is simply mobile technology. It's cheaper than it looks, R&D is the bulk of the budget being taken up. Here's hoping that PSVR doesn't end up like PSMove.

Which is why I hope Sony doesn't half-ass this whole VR thing. It seems unlikely given how much they are marketing PSVR as of late, but if one remembers... it is similar amount of marketing they did for the Move and.. to some lesser extent, the Vita.

$300 (or even $400) is a lot of swallow for the mainstream audience, only to find out that the whole project will be a flop after a year.
I have high hopes for VR in general, I truly think it is the next step in gaming. So here's hoping VR will succeed not just for Sony, but for the entire industry as well.

...not including a rather powerful PC too.


I'm going to make a bold opinion here.

In theory, Sony has the upper hand in brand recognition. It's more synonymous to say playstation and VR together, people would understand it better.
But Facebook and VR? Err, majority of FB users only know what candy crush is. Ask the same people who only knows what candy crush is and see if they would pump down $350 + $700 or not, most would say no.

Given that only a speck of people who plays games know and is interested in VR, the ball is in Sony's court to prove that VR is the next big leap in gaming. It's basically their job to say VR can be mainstream, not just for a niche market.


Yeah the cables is really putting me off, but it is needed to reduce latency as much as possible, not just for connection sake. Just be glad we don't have to put this on:



I'm surprised the person didn't file an insurance claim for neck injury...

Consider this, no devs currently on the PSVR programme is developing any full fledged AAA game. Goal now is to get it out with small sized bite games (glorified tech demos basically) and see how the masses react to VR in general.

So yeah.. It's going to be a while before we see any must buys or system sellers.

If it fails for the PS4, it will be repurposed for the PS5. If it fails again then, Sony would have lost the VR race.

As much as I want VR to succeed, the next 2 years of stepping stones will be critical to the VR industry in general.

Yes it's a neat feature, but it's also a fall back fail-safe trigger for Sony. If all else fails, promote the PSVR as a 225" TV! Just like how they're promoting the Vita as a remote play companion.

But it entirely depends on how well the panel will handle motion for non-VR use. Will see during E3.


While true, an RM1k TV will however look like absolute garbage in comparison to the panel on the PSVR. You still end up spoiling your eyes either ways.

If every game releasing on the launch window for the Oculus is adult-aged games, there won't be games on launch.

"Kiddie" games are easier to develop. You don't need a 900 page script, you don't need a 50-person team of programmers, you don't need 100 artists trying to wrangle out concept art after concept art and decipher what the designer wants and doesn't.

Then there's the point where before VR can be taken seriously, it needs to be able to show that it can be easily picked up, play, and enjoy.

That's different. The issue with EGTTR is that its FOV is too damn narrow.
Not saying you won't get dizzy with VR, but the cause of dizziness is different in this scenario. Unless of course the FOV for VR games is damn narrow too...


Read around, plenty of Rift and Vive owners are actually very excited to play "kiddie" games.

A PS4 is basically a PC in chains. I don't know why you'd be so surprised if Sony were to do this? It's been bound to happen since the PS2 days, I'm actually surprised it takes this long for it to be set in motion. Besides, Sega already did it in the 90s.


That's the US and Canada pre-order only packages. Nothing to do with us, for now. You're still paying much less than a a Vive or Rift setup irregardless and no one said VR will be cheap.

Specs wise, I'm not worried about the headset. The Move controller on the other hand... lol, it's pretty mediocre. There will ABSOLUTELY be latency issues with the Move controller, there's no 2 ways about it.

I've already said, PSVR will be repurposed for the PS5. It's not surprising news that it'll get support on the PC, with or without Sony's consent.

That said, there will be newer VR headsets in a couple of years anyway. 1080p is not enough, the dpi is simply too low.

No point for consoles perhaps, unless they get significantly more powerful in the near future.

On the PC? Please, give me a QHD display at the very least.
