The Sony PlayStation virtual reality headset Project Morpheus will be released at some point in the first quarter of 2016. But even Sony's Worldwide Studios president said they will have a hard time selling it because it's too pricey.
Sony will unveil everything with regards to the Project Morpheus in a little while, but some initial gaming details on the PS4 virtual reality headset have previously been imparted. A report on BGR says that one of its partners is working on first-person shooter games which will be played with a special gun accessory that will secure serious issues with such games involving VR. The gun will have an on-screen VR counterpart, making gestures looks more instinctive. Rather than pressing buttons on a controller and running sticks with a VR headset wrapping their eyes. Players will use a gun in their hands that can be moved and respond to an on-screen reaction.
Hence, Sony requests developers to have games with five players in the same area - "one in a Morpheus headset, the other four on the couch" - in an identical virtual world, pointed out on Recode.
Accordingly, the team that built Morpheus knows how to get multiple VR headsets allocating one of those worlds. Though it looks like Sony is focusing on only one headset for each console as of now since a piece is projected to cost hundreds of dollars. "We need to convince PS4 owners to spend several hundred dollars to purchase a Morpheus headset, on top of the PS4 they already have," President of Sony's Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida denoted on Wired.
The glitch is that not all people who bought a PlayStation 4 will automatically purchase a VR headset except it is actually sold on the software it is running. As Project Morpheus is about to release next year, it might have a chance above other high-end virtual reality headsets. Still, its spectators are far-off expected.
