Driveclub, GT7, Sony Santa Monica/Media Molecule Games and More in the Works for Morpheus VR–Insider

During the presentation at the Game Developers Conference Sony Computer Entertainment mentioned just a few demos for Project Morpheus, but didn’t specify any actual games in development, saying that Sony’s studios are “experimenting” with the technology.
Industry insider Ahsan “Thuway” Rasheed, that normally has a quite good track record with what his sources tell him, and that has been talking about the headset for a while, mentioned a few projects in development or at least planned for the new tech.

I cant wait to see these games running on Morpheus.

morganfell3691d ago

Thuway weeks ago warned us and he was right. Here he comes again with a new sack of Christmas presents.

Mr Pumblechook3691d ago

He is guessing! Two hours ago before Project Morpheus was announced did he say any of this information? No! He said it after the fact the cheeky scamp.

arika3691d ago (Edited 3691d ago )

I cant take this no more... so much awesomeness coming our way.. arrrghhh... somebody get me a time machine so I can see what this VR morpheus can do... pleaseeeee.... lol! ps4 greatness is here!

darthv723691d ago (Edited 3691d ago )

Can there be more than one supported on the same system? That would be cool for local multiplayer. Like the sony 3d display that let each user see their own player only now through their own dedicated vr visor.

Is that the final look of it? Looks heavy but not uncomfortable.

Narutone663691d ago

Sony said that only one VR headset will be supported for each PS4. Since it uses the PS4 camera with the light bar on the VR set for positioning, it's basically like the move controller.

BitbyDeath3691d ago (Edited 3691d ago )

@MrPumblechook,

To be fair I think most people knew more than 2 hours before that VR would be announced at GDC.

Confirmation was pretty much given when Sony detailed their presentations and stated they will be discussing the future of gaming.

@darthv72, it was said to still be a prototype.
I don't think it'll change much more from this though, already looks quite compact so might be just waiting to hear feedback from the media.

morganfell3691d ago (Edited 3691d ago )

Mr Pumblechook,

I guess you are completely unfamiliar with Thuway because you just came out of this thread looking less than informed.

None of those games he mentioned were announced at the reveal.

Weeks ago he discussed VR and hinted at several features that were shown.

Troll somewhere else.

Godzilla just got a VR headset..

Mr Pumblechook3691d ago

@Morganfell. I am familiar with Thuway! But me, who doesn't have insider information, can tell you that Polyphany as a major partner of Sony will likely implement Project Mopheus with the next Gran Turismo, as will Media Molecule do something with it.

I still waiting for TV's to have smell-vision capabilities now that would be cool

XiSasukeUchiha3691d ago

Pretty much AAA were saved for Morphieus Smart idea Sony :)

SteamPowered3691d ago

But now those games are tethered to the Morpheus. Hopefully Sony would develop the game with and without Morpheus support.

Abriael3691d ago (Edited 3691d ago )

That's not necessarily true. A game can support morpheus without necessarily requiring it.

I seriously doubt Sony will lock away GT7 and Driveclub from a large part of its userbase by making them morpheus exclusive. It'd be suicidal.

SteamPowered3691d ago

Abriael,
Suicidal, or marketing genius? What if you could only get VR supported GT7? Boom, sales explosion. They can make it the Morpheus coming out party.
Im not saying it WILL happen, Im just sayin it could.

Jeff2573691d ago

Sony is about options for Gamers. They do not force added things onto us. Instead they will have the ability added into those games without requiring people to buy something they don't want. There may be some games that will require VR but for the bigger mainstream titles I can't imagine Sony excluding a big part of their user base like that.

webeblazing3691d ago

So do that mean gfx is gonna get toned down to meet the 60fps requirement. Or is they gonna have a lower res while your in vr.

KwietStorm_BLM3691d ago

No, definitely suicidal. Obviously if they took their biggest franchise, Gran Turismo, and made Morpheus mandatory, a good number of people would be interested the bullet, but you just don't do that with such a big title that previously didn't require a peripheral. That's just not respecting the fans.

lsujester3691d ago

It would be disastrous for the GT franchise to make it Morpheus exclusive. Here is the latest and greatest of the Gran Turismo franchise, the first on the PS4, but you have to buy this $500 dollar peripheral to play it. You just took away what was possibly millions of sales and knocked it down to thousands.

Either way, I hope no games will be delayed further to work with this. I'm still waiting on DriveClub.

lifeisgamesok3691d ago

Idk know about smart... The exclusives are spread thin as it is and they want people to buy a $200-300 add-on??

Sony better have a ton of exclusives in the pipeline to be released way before they move development teams to VR

Roronoa04113691d ago

I'm pretty sure they would develop the game so you could either use the VR or just a normal TV. Not sure if that can be done but that would be my bet.

PoSTedUP3691d ago

made a comment about VR and GT7 yesterday (or the day before), man, i cannot wait for it. that will be some ultra serious stuff.

-Alpha3691d ago

Counteract that with whatever creative ideas Mm has. Best of both worlds.

PoSTedUP3691d ago

move around, create, share and play together in a VR world? yeah, you win. lol. i hope MM has something in the works, too.

DigitalRaptor3691d ago

DriveClub was a given. We'll see about the rest.

BlakHavoc3691d ago

Just heard Stig has left SSM, how disappointing. Man Sony'Sony's studios are taking some hits, he made a masterpiece in GoW3.

Bathyj3691d ago

True, and he will be missed no doubt. But Jaffee left and life goes on. It will again.

intellegent3691d ago

They still have Cory Barlog, it isn't all bad.

webeblazing3691d ago

Dont this happen in the beginning and end of every gen. The maybe want a change in scenery. The game industry seem like the best job to move around and do different stuff(idea wise).

The best PS5 exclusives 2024

With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond

PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?

VersusDMC12d ago

They won't complain about Microsoft not releasing games here but put all their effort into saying that only first party counts. Games like Rebirth and Grandblue Relink don't count. Games published by Sony like Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin don't count because Sony don't own the studios.

It's some narrative building so for when Hellblade 2 come out they can say, seemingly without shame, that Microsoft is actually releasing first party games this year. And claim victory.🙃

Chevalier12d ago

Weird 1st party games didn't matter when Xbox had so little, but, now they're important again? Guess Ark 3, Stalker 2 don't count any more?

KyRo12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

ARK 3 doesn't exist and it's just a timed exclusive. It's also a game that a majority of the ARK player base doesn't want as it's a massive deviation from what people like about the original game

Abnor_Mal12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Honestly to me it doesn’t matter what they say, they are just finally getting a chance to say all the things PS fan(boy)s were saying to them for the past few years. Let them get that, they deserve a “win” for a change.

The new narrative is that suddenly first party games matter again when awhile ago they didn’t, but that was because they were struggling with the same three games with the occasional fourth or fifth. That games should be everywhere on all platforms since that’s whats happening to theirs. The consoles don’t matter just the ability to play anywhere. Whatever Xbox is doing Sony will soon follow.

They’re not moving the goalpost anymore, but rather just moving the whole damn stadium.

jwillj2k412d ago

Only a incel would care about who published what and who owns who.

If it’s not on the other consoles it’s an exclusive.

Killing what? Where are the 1st party games??
Stellar Blade and FF7 is what I’m seeing this year.. so shallow!!!!

andy8512d ago

Doesn't really matter as long as they're great games. Baffles me why people put an emphasis on 1st party. They're still games you can't play anywhere else this year

Cacabunga11d ago

Andy

PS brand is my favorite because of their stellar first party software.. currently I see absolutely nothing to go crazy for..

CS711d ago

Nonsense.

PS1 and PS2 was built on great third party exclusives like FF, MGS, GTA & Tekken.

Of course I love the games I’ve played from PS but I don’t believe we need to limit it to ‘exclusive’ to acknowledge that Xbox will be releasing some good games this year also. In that same vein, I believe that Xbox diehards shouldn’t limit their acknowledgment of good PS games to 1st party. There are plenty of good games to go around for everybody.

Tacoboto12d ago

This is a Playstation article about Playstation games and your comment is about Xbox. Can't you just celebrate what PS has without dragging this into console war BS?

ChasterMies12d ago

I don’t think Microsoft is releasing games exclusively on Xbox anymore. They have some timed exclusives that release on Xbox first.

Abear2112d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.

GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.

But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.

Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.

SonyStyled11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Sony owns the Helldivers IP. The first was a PS3/Vita/PC game. It was never an Xbox game that they could ‘get’ a decade ago. I’m not sure what the upset is with Xbox here

CS711d ago

Lol, how do you ignore Rebirth one of the best games ever made?

anast11d ago

Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.

I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.

DaniMacYo11d ago

Helldivers 2 is exactly what gaming needed. I’m loving it.
