Sony’s Director of Worldwide Studios Gives Us the Complete Lowdown on Project Morpheus

Junkie Monkeys: Simon Benson took the time to answer all the questions we had about Project Morpheus! Check out our extensive interview right here!

[ForgottenProphecy]

Well I still have my PlayStation Move, and I have my PS4 camera, so I'm ready for Project Morpheus!!

[user1439414]

Morpheus is going to be amazing. Sony will make sure VR will be the best on Playstation. XoXoXo

[ZodTheRipper]

Sony can make this sure ONLY if they give it proper first party support. Not every game should get Morpheus support but every game where it makes sense should have it. Move was such a cool (and well working) piece of hardware but it failed because of missing support from Sony... I really hope this won't happen to Morpheus as well (and I hope that Morpheus will re-ignite the capabilities of PS Move).

[amiga-man]

Move seems to have been created with VR in mind, it does seem to be a perfect addition to VR and will really add something to the how we interact

I trust Sony to deliver a very capable VR experience

[JohnJ]

This is a game changer!

[aerisbueller]

VR will be awesome on Playstation, and I'm glad Sony is making it even more mainstream even quicker, but VR will be best on a high end PC with an Omni, and whichever other motion peripherals you pick.

I interviewed that guy back at E3 2006, super cool person. He also appeared on our podcast a while later.

I'm glad to see him working on Morpheus. It's in good hands with him.

[S2Killinit]

I liked him too. He seems like a real gamer you know, not just a mouth piece.

[AgentSmithPS4]

Wow I didn't expect for this director to increase my already justifiably high expectations even more. And all without fake enthusiasm or seizure inducing compilations of gameplay with horrible music.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

:) just pure happiness!

[WillGuitarGuy]

Morpheus is awesome from what people are telling me. I can't wait to see how devs like Media Molecule end up using this impressive piece of tech in their games.

[DigitalRaptor]

It's seeming that way.

It's already something solid, and there's a definite case for it as a consumer product. Sony just needs to work out some core game design/tech issues, as well as tidy up the tech to be released next year. They have tons of time for that.

From there, it's up to the devs to provide some interesting and compelling content.

[AgentSmithPS4]

Yeah, I've read many good things about it and there's rarely complaints except by those that expect way too much or just love to complain.

I mostly don't care about the social stuff but I'm glad it's there because it should encourage more and more people to buy it and then more game companies will support it and we'll get a big variety of great games!

[mogwaii]

How about some info on a release date and price, seen and heard all this other stuff.

[teo72]

can't believe he did not ask for clarification on steeringwheel and morpheus vr. Confirmation of VR in GT7?

[DigitalRaptor]

I can't believe you would believe he would provide confirmation for an unannounced game ;)

[teo72]

of course I don't believe that. But considering that Kazunori Yamauchi (director of polyhony digital. maker of the Gran Turismo series) is quite the tech geek and that VR support in GT7 would IMHO be a perfect fit; I don't think it is that far fetched. Not to mention, it would be totally awsome to play GT7 with Morpeus VR and the steeringwheel Thrustmaster T300; albeit very expensive fun...

In a car you sit still, just like when you play a driving game on your console at home; so nausia other vr health issues should not be a problem as I see it.

[pwnsause_returns]

Ummm it's pretty obvious that gt7 is going to get VR. Look at gt5 how it supported the ps eye. Sure it wasn't a good implementation, but this would make it the perfect fit... Project cars is supporting it for both project Morpheus and oculus when they both launch.. It would look ridiculous on them if polyphony digital doesn't support it on gt7..

[stuna1]

A first person view version of something akin to Final Fantasy would be kind of cool with the move controller and morpheus IMO.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Can we actually go inside the world with VR like Sword Art Online ? Dumb question but if we can this will be the best invention ever.

[S2Killinit]

I'm going to get my camera soon. Already have a move controller from back in the day, although I'm more interested in the Morpheus games that will be implementing dual shock 4 controllers.
Cant WAIT for Morpheus. (:
