iGR: "The innovative team at Media Molecule has confirmed via Twitter that they received a Project Morpheus dev kit courtesy of SCE. In a conversation that started off as a collective WTF! over the sale of Oculus Rift to Facebook, Media Molecule’s technical director let the cat out of the bag that the studio has possession of Sony’s new VR tech."
IGN writes: "Media Molecule has said the layoffs at the Sony-owned studio have affected plans for ongoing community and curation support in Dreams."
How self sustained can DREAM be when it's basically stuck on PS4? I don't think it's even gotten a PS5 upgrade. Ending support for what is essentially a game making engine is basically death. SONY did DREAMS dirty.
Recent findings in the latest PSVR2 software update, indicates that PlayStation is already starting to implement support for PC.
The icing on the cake would be if Sony / Valve allow for a Steam Link app much like it is for the Quest 3. Likely wishful thinking, though.
Warner Bros. Discovery is closing down Adult Swim Games, delisting its published games. Thus putting Rick and Morty VR in jeopardy.
Think Just Add Water having their hands on a Morpheus devkit is the bigger news.
Imagine their creation tools in VR. It would be like just grabbing a lump of clay.
Freakin sweet. Can't wait for games from both studios.
Cant wait till E3. It should be an E3 to remember. Just hope there are no more layoffs. Bring it on.
I'm curious on how games featuring Morpheus VR support will work. Will they require Morpheus to play? Or will Morpheus simply be an optional game mode/setting you can select? I think developing a "normal" game to be viewed on a television or monitor AND a VR version would get very expensive and time consuming. Will developers now have to have a separate team just working on the VR component of games? And lastly, I can see a family buying one headset, but how will family type games fare with VR with only one headset? A family that wants to sit down and play LBP would need multiple headsets to play together, and I don't see too many people ponying up the money for that possibility. Don't get me wrong, I love new tech and I'm the guy who would buy Morpheus day one if it came with a game like GT7 or Project Cars, but I do have alot of questions.
