Virtual reality is shaping up to be revolution in gaming because of the impact it has on presence – players feel like they are actually present at the in-game location; which leads to a more immersive gaming experience. And Sony has cleverly identified that virtual reality technology can have advantages beyond gaming.
Druckmann claims the tech could 'push the boundaries of storytelling in games.'
I’m more interested in what else he said.
“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’

every time naughty dog make a game, you play it and get the feeling "this is not possible'
from the boulder running towards you in crash, on ps1,
to the massive open world of jak and daxter, on ps2,
to the QuickTime events sequences of uncharted on ps3/4
and now we will see what they do with ps5,
Arrogant asshole who sniffs his own farts bigs up next game…sounds like typical PR to me
You know what I find interesting? Almost every site reporting this as the main title where the REAL interesting bit of the interview is Neil praising AI and saying it will be used to help push story, characters, dialogue and more.
It’s super shitty to big up AI especially when it comes to story telling and other creative elements.
Just because someone says this type of stuff, it doesn't mean that it's guaranteed to be good news.
You can say this about microtransactions. MXTs revolutionised the gaming industry.
He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.
I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.
CD Projekt RED and Yigsoft have launched The Witcher 3 REDkit on PC. We interviewed both studios to discuss the release of these mod tools.
VR veteran Survios is currently working on Alien: Rogue Incursion, so we take a look back at its history of VR works.
There is so much potential for PSVR when it comes out. Spectator mode while watching others play games. Let's say someone is playing MLB the show or NBA 2K or Fifa and you are a spectator in the stands. If a virtual seat is open, you can jump to that seat and watch. Root for the home team or heckle the batter or pitcher.
Or do that at real games with virtual 360 cameras and pay an admission fee. Any sport, any concert, any tour, etc. Sony could really leverage their ownership and have virtual concerts of their artists beamed straight to PS4 as exclusive.
Or virtually see what it's like to be on the ISS space station and see Earth below. Or a virtual Mars tour or solar system tour like the titans app. Virtual skydiving, virtual scuba diving,, virtual sightseeing either live or high definition 360 videos.
As for media, Netflix is always mentioned. But never Sony's movies on the store. Not only that, but no one mentions the fact that Sony now does content streaming with PlayStation Vue. You could watch that on a 200+ inch virtual screen. Or PlayStation now on the big screen besides PS4 games. Hulu, YouTube, Vevo music videos, etc.
Only the tip of the iceberg on what's possible that compliments VR gaming. The fact that I can pay less than $500 but view a virtual screen that's larger than those 100+ inch TVs is awesome potentially.
Bring back Home or something similar to it. VR can thrive as a hub place where gamers can meet up and chat it up or do things together like play mini games, watch movies in some type of theater mode etc.
I want a yugioh simulatior!!!
Reggie Watts did a live show a couple of weeks ago for VR users. It was awesome.
