CorgiShinobi Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Sony's Prototype to Virtual Reality Not much else to discuss other than "it's happening now." I mean, there have always been the rumors that Sony has been wanting to do VR, and now it's here after all those years. It's suppose to seamlessly function with all the PS4 accessories for a more immerse experience. You know, I'm still not sure where I stand on the VR stuff. It's definitely something I'd have to try first for myself before nearing the excitement levels others have for Oculus Rift and now "Morpheus."

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I've used Oculus but didn't actually get to play anything with it. The early prototype is a "wow" experience at first but it's not a life changing experience. I think Crystal Cove should really improve it a lot and that's what Sony needs to compete with and not the current dev units. So anyways are they actually going to reveal anything more than the briefest of specs this week? Oculus isn't close to market yet but we certainly know a shitload about it at least.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 It doesn't mention anything about stereoscopic 3D? I thought that was usually a part of VR. VR headsets were my last hope of getting more 3D in my life... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Sony doesn't want players to experience VR all by their lonesome either, and Project Morpheus will be able to display the game world on the television. He said specifically that it will be a traditional view that players have come to expect in games, and not the double-windowed "binocular" view that has become common in recordings of VR games. Source. This could be read as implying that the view through the actual headset will be stereoscopic, but you're right I haven't seen anything explicit. I didn't even notice until you said something though, just assuming that it's stereoscopic. Otherwise it's not VR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 It's not really VR without full body tracking and a tactile feedback component. Still looks nifty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'd rather play Fallout 4 or Elder Scrolls VI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Problem with those games is they may or may not exist, and we have no way to know how they are, so I did not list non-real games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 The problem with the games you listed though is that they have already come out, and I have already played them, and I don't want to get the same thing again But In VR.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 "a head mounted display with 1080p resolution" makes it sound like there isn't a screen for each eye, and that if it is 3D it wouldn't be 1080o for each eye. I really want full HD injected directly into each eyeball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Well even the new Oculus is only 960x1080 for each eye. I would imagine this is the same. Two 960x1080 screens = 1920x1080 in the mind of PR people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday Next Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Games I'd like to play in VR on PS4: Skyrim Fallout New Vegas Proteus The Unfinished Swan Basically anything first person with interesting worlds. Give it to me now, Shuhei! So you want to play last-gen games with VR forced in instead of new experiences that would properly utilize the tech? Yup. That was probably an exhaustive list of all the games ever that Cowboy will ever want to play in VR ever. It is in no way a short list indicative of the type of games that he thinks would be good in VR. I however want to play Wrath of Monagen in VR. It doesn't exist yet because I just made it up but it's gonna utilise the tech so hard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EvXmdBGwvI At the very beginning of the video the guy doing the demo says "Ooh, loading screens in 3D", so it is stereoscopic. They would do well to make that clearer though. Edited March 21, 2014 by TheMightyEthan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 It looks like Sony found another way to make the Move actually useful for something. To be fair, I kinda feel like that for Morpheus games a move and navigation controller might be better than a dualshock 4 because there would be less disconnect between what you see and what your hands are doing, making it more intuitive to use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the studio is working on putting VR into ports of their old games they're not focusing their time on incorporating it into new games instead. You're forgetting the reality of the fact that a team of people actually have to put in the time and effort to make this happen. There's no magic "port to new console with different architecture and add VR" button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Man you run video game studios how I play RTS games "let's put all our army on tackling this one building, and not some fancy multi-layerd approach of flanks and next-gen teams and artists working separately from our VR porting specialists that account for like 2-3 guy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Even if it's not the exact same people it still takes time money and resources, which are not unlimited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Sure, but Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD just came out the other day and Square-Enix hasn't exactly struggled to knock an MMO, and it's major revamp, three FFXIII games, and working on FFXV and also all the FF phone ports alongside bringing games to a new generation. It's also worth noting that Sony aren't as retarded as their early PS3 days either. There's not "magic port games to new console and add VR button", but their work of building tools that allow games to come to both PS3/4 and Vita, their porting from PS2 to PS3, and 3-D toolsets I doubt they're going to be like "hey Bethesda, here's a VR headset and nothing else, have at it".

TCP Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 You're crazy if you think developers/publishers are just going to dive right into something new like VR without dipping their toe in first. Ports/remasters are probably what most of the VR experiences we're going to get at first. Especially with the lack of backwards compatibility, there will be a lot of last-gen games getting ported to PS4 anyways, so it only makes sense to add VR to these releases to see how it does.
