Sony: Morpheus is 'the VR platform' for Social Experiences

VRFocus reports on Sony Computer Entertainment's (SCE's) Andrew House talking about the social aspect of the Project Morpheus virtual reality (VR) HMD.

Eh. NOt sure about that when Facebook owns Oculus.

[Rimeskeem]

well played

Always something negative about sony from you huh.

I love these comments.

It has zero to do which platform I like the most and utilize the most (hint: PS4), it has to do with having a brain and using it to think logically.

Probably why I'm considered both a PS fan by some and XB fanboy by others here.

"Always something negative about sony from you huh."

maybe you shold check your own comment history....on the first page alone these quotes:

"Horizon alone destroys ANYTHING on xbone nice try though."

"The gameplay looked way better than halo."

"B/c will do nothing for sales."

Lol I was about to say, the irony in this slogan.

[Eonjay]

IGN actually explained this best. By allowing you to play others in VR (be it a FPS or whatever) they deal with a major issue with VR. Its the sense of isolation. This is of course intrinsic to immersion but I agree that it would be healthy to be able to share those experiences with others.

This is social VR:

I just don't see Facebook sitting back and not creating something akin to Second Life for people you connect with on Facebook or the like.

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

Oculus does seem to have more support. But Sony has some talented devs that can create great experiences.

[REDDURT]

I think that's about even

[maniacmayhem]

Social and VR should not even be mentioned in the same sentence. I shudder to think of what's to come with VR and socializing.

[akurtz]

Cuz you have no friends?

[maniacmayhem]

Not in the VR world.

[Rookie_Monster]

Sony spent less than 5 min at their conference talking about Morpheus. This thing along with its price tag and lack of support from Sony is going to be like the move.

[akurtz]

Did you use the power of hololens to look into the future?

[joeorc]

Good I guess its better to get the failure out early before 3 years has passed , than right? So I guess it would be better if Sony just outright just canned the Morpheus and not even try anything new?

/LMAO

In other threads we had, Sony better not put too much talk about Morpheus, now not enough...lol

[DigitalRaptor]

Yeah, they were too busy destroying the competition with long-awaited megaton game announcements, and showing their exclusive open-world RPG that looks tremendous.

Meanwhile, Sony has brought around 30 VR games to E3 that gamers are still getting to experience hands-on. I hate to break it to you, but the Move is still supported and is a part of the Morpheus experience.
