VRFocus: Back in May of this year, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s (SCEE) Simon Benson hinted at the possibility that the PlayStation Vita may be part of the long-term plan for Project Morpheus. Since then, a member of Benson’s team at SCEE London Studios has gone one further, confirming that the handheld console is already being used internally.
Carl Williams writes, "The Sony Playstation Vita is a marvelous hand held gaming device. I personally don’t own one, yet, but I have been fortunate enough to borrow some here and there from friends over the years. The PS Vita is also a bane for many independent developers that want to release games for it as it has not been opened up. Until now. The first release of a new crack that opens the Sony Playstation Vita to independent developers is finally here. Only took what, four or five years?"
VRFocus delivers the latest entry in its 'VR vs.' series, this week looking at the rebranding of Project Morpheus to PlayStation VR.
Yes, we got attached to the name Morpheus. It was a phenomenally better name than what they finalized. Oh well... It's sometimes the name that sells a product better than anything else. I just hope they didn't screw the pooch with this simplistic name change.
Are you serious? How casuals would know what's Morpheus? Playstation VR is perfect. New name tells it all.
VR will primarily be a niche product -- mostly for hardcore gamers, VR enthusiasts, and for viewing movies in privacy.
Very few "casual" consumers will be interested in it.
Doesn't change a thing in what I said. And how do you know it's going to be a niche product? You think that over 20 million PS4 owners aren't waiting for it? I see a million in first month if they deliver on launch content and won't go too high with the price. Bottom line, it's way too soon to judge it like that.
