PS4 Morpheus Core Hardware Has Been Finalized, Says Sony

Well most of the people hating the product before it even is on the market simply have absolutely no idea what they are talking about, cause they never experienced the matter themselves. This has absolutely nothing to do with 3D (which is basically good but was destroyed by James Cameron himself) it´s AWESOME but hard to describe.

Also they do not seem to have the slightest idea about SONY´s product lines. Forgot they own also a handy department? So you already get a good idea of VR with the Samsung Note 4 and Gear VR. If a handy alone is able to do so, the combined power of the PS4 AND a small box with hardware should not to be able to?

Also Project Cars and EVE V. are proof enough for me (already played Eve on the first Morpheus and it was already AWESOME) so these are no AAA titles?

Furthermore the advantages of a close environment are obvious and make it a lot easier for devs to get good results. I don´t want to buy a 1500€ PC and the OR just to find out that 3-6 months later an improved version of OR is out and so on. In the PS4 life circle I bet there will be 4-6 “newer versions” of OR in between. And don´t tell me the games are cheaper afterwards, so the price difference will get even in time – tell me first where I could sell my PC game for a proper price then.

The Oculus is done and gone in my eyes anyway unless they change the product drastically. No 360° tracking, no walking around, bad specs and so on. The VIVE has definitely more chances to win the match. But I personally wish ALL Devs good luck with their products as THEY exchange their experiences and partly work together to improve the whole thing to make VR a better experience for ALL gamers – PC and console. THAT is something the fanboys could and should learn from.

I've been playing videogames since the early 90s, and I've seen many gimmicks come and go. Virtual reality is another gimmick that will do good at first and eventually die off. I don't know why developers seem to think there is a better way to play games besides a controller and a tv. For 40 years this method has proven to be the most effective way to play games. I wish they would have used the time and resources to create virtual reality towards making better games.

>1080p experiences at 120Hz

So basically it will have to be games that look like total ass

VR in consoles won't give your 1st-person views of AAA games, maybe with small indie games only. If it struggles reach 1080P at 60fps for a few games already, how can the PS4 handle 2 screens at 1080p with 60fps per eye? It cannot fall short of providing a stable 60 fps because that will cause major sickness to viewers.

As stated, Morpheus will be limited to small indie games.

Let's face it, playing Driveclub would make anyone feel sick, VR or not...

That's as ugly as trash, not to say the s word.

Meanwhile I am playing games on 720p in my Xbox One.

Anybody else find it wierd that exactly 3 hours earlier, we have this article?

Hehe, Bad things don't happen because bad people have power, bad things happen because good people don't use their power.

MORE single players coming for PS4. The rest of the house just watch me playing. Nice.

ill wait for a few months and see what games come out that use VR and of course try the display version at the shops

They'd better be quick or someone else will release their VR gears.

It's not a 120hz target, really. The frame instancing "reprojection" technique Sony is using gives them the cheat to get there, effectively doubling the image(s) out of the frame buffer. This is also about interpolating headset motion updates with frame updates mid-render. The difficult target nonetheless remains 1080p at a flawless 60 frame update or the integrity of VR crumbles. As others have mentioned, however, there's certainly a potential market for smaller and medium-sized Morpheus games that employ stylized visuals and cleverly-reduced complexity to achieve that performance, yet still manage to look great.

2 screens both outputting at 1080p is a thing I doubt, at least for now. Maybe for indie games, but I can't wait to see what they think they can bring for AAA games

Sony and developers need to actually MAKE and Support games in order for this to work as Yoshida said. So far more or less every hardware addon Sony has done has been a huge flop, latest for me was the MOVE. Its an amazing concept but F all REAL games came out for it and no one supported it. I fear the same will be for this.

Oculus has a huge support behind it and it can be modded to work for games, ie Alien Isolation and modders are already planning to get GTA V on PC working with Oculus. I cant see this 'morpheus' doing things like that. Its going to take a s**t load of money to throw at developers to support this device to work with 3rd party games. As much as i like Sony they clearly are just jumping on the bandwagon from Oculus Rift and i really fear it will fail, HARD.

With all the VR stuff that'll likely be shown at E3, how will they convey the experiences to the public watching on the internet? Video doesn't do it justice.

Here is something you all should read from a Oculus Rift PC guy at the Oculus forums named Cambomcfly.

"How slow do you guys think the PS4 is? Do you not think they knew about the Morpheus when they were designing this? 1080p is FINE. and i say this wishing we could get 4k and all that in the eyes but we CANT right now not unless you wanna run a 4000k PC set up and THEN buy a 900 dollar HMD. It's not gonna happen. With the right screen and tinkering 1080p PER eye is fine.

LOL

PS4 and 1080p with 120hz? gtfo sony

a hahaha :D The PS4 outputting a game in 1080p and 120Hz? How ugly must it look if they barely get 1080p on non-stereoscopic game on 60Hz

I say if you want true immersion you MUST cut the core and make a Wireless version !
