Sony has said that its upcoming virtual reality (VR) headset, Project Morpheus, will be ‘affordable’. Speaking its Driving the Future of Innovation presentation at GDC 2014, the company hinted at the low price point when asked about using VR in schools.

I hope this doesn't turn into another virtual boy.

Meh. Looks like a gimmick. Just like the Oculous VR.

Now i can reenact the classic animu masterpiece Sword Art Online!

This will probably be pretty awesome, but I can't help feeling it's too much of a leap too early.

Thus begins the VR Gaming Wars.

Tits or GTFO!

soon...

Eh honestly they should have waited until PS4 actually has some games. I mean what game would really work with it? 2d indie titles? Because that's 90% of the games PS4 has at the moment...

Sony has to really fully pledge themselves to this or its going to flop.

I'm not biting! But, it's still in prototype stage, won't be out for year or two I'd say.

Oh. I missed that part. Was expecting them to remake the same mistakes they made with PSPgo and 3D.

Oculus won't be a gimmick because it works exceptionally well.

Who really wants one of these boxes in front of their eyes with a silly little hat bit as well??



THIS on the other hand...

Yes. The 3DS' 3D is so immersive, but VR is completely unappealing because of a headset.

LOL do I have to wear a gay ass hat and big goofy goggles to see the 3DS 3D effect? And who said VR is unappealing because of the headset? I'm saying the headset design is shit like Oculus Rift. It's bulky and stupid. If you want people to utilize these features in everyday gaming they gotta be understated, streamlined and habitual. That's why I hope Microsoft take that design they have been looking into, where it is just a pair of glasses with the image in the lens.

The whole point of VR is realism... That couldn't be achieved with just a pair of glasses.

This will be affordable with the down low price of $1000 dolla!
