Sony set to debut the future of gaming

[Fatboi1]

I don't know. Just going by some of the comments I've been reading. Sounds cool, but VR in general is pretty limiting compared to people's normal living room experiences.

Limiting?? If you could just slap this headset on, grab a controller and be IN the world of the game you're in, that's pretty damn revolutionary. I've been wanting this since the time the Wii was rumored to be something like this. This is pretty damn big, as big as the jump from 2D to 3D.

The types of experiences will be limited in and outside the game. As will development requirments and consumer adoption.

VR has been around for decades, there's nothing really revolutionary about it. OR has been around for years and outside of a small enthusiast community it's not really on anyone's radar.

Oh....I can do that too. See........

You nikkas see NASA and just assume that organization is still the pennacle of technological achievement, when NASA has steadily been getting funds taken away from it over the years. Meanwhile Carmack started his own Aerospace company that is actually still building rockets and shyt. And to be honest, no his shyt probably isn't on the level of a NASA and thats only because he hasn't been around for 50+ years. When I guy like that believes in something so much that he leaves a company like iD, then yeah, I have to believe he knows something we don't know. So until Sony shows me something more than what they have shown, my money is still on the Rift.

Breh you are a clown. Your comparing past tech to future and current tech? LOL @ this thing weighing up to 10 pounds on your head are you serious. They made it so it doesn't fog up on you but you think it'll be a brick on your head? I'm about to have you xbots banned if y'all don't shape up

Never said anything about bricks on heads. Don't know where you got that idea from. Maybe you should ban yourself and go learn how to read

Morpheus Targeting $249-299 Price; Sony’s Studios Working on “Absolutely Fantastic” Things According to Insider

by Giuseppe Nelva 3/19/2014

Industry insider Ahsan Rasheed has been talking about Project Morpheus for a while, and since the new VR headset has finally been announced and the gag has been removed, today he’s been sharing a lot of the information he’s been given by his usually reliable sources.

Sony mentioned that the headset will be “affordable,” but that’s quite vague. So how affordable will it be? Rasheed’s information on the topic is so surprising that even he cautions that things may still change between here and the hardware’s release:





The price seems even more convenient considering that according to Rasheed’s sources the package will come bundled with the camera (even if I’m personally quite sure that there’ll be a separate option for those that already have the camera itself):



Rasheed also explained that Sony is going all-in with Project Morpheus, and isn’t just going to give it half-hearted support like it happened with the PlayStation Move or the EyeToy:




Such a low price point for a virtual reality headset sounds almost crazy, especially considering that the new version of the Oculus Rift will cost $350 and Sony’s own HMZ-T3W Head Mounted Display is priced at $1,000, but many would have said the same about the PS4 being sold at $399 before its price was actually announced last June. That said, we definitely should consider this just a rumor for the moment.

We’ll have to wait and see if Sony will manage to sell the Morpheus at such a bargain price. One thing is for sure, that kind of affordability would definitely drive adoption, and technology like Morpheus lives or dies on its adoption by customers. If Sony wants virtual reality to really take off, they’ll have to keep the price down, or it’ll end like stereoscopic 3D did during last generation.

I seen nikkas spend $300 on Beats... $250 for a full functioning set of Real VR glasses is not bad...

 

[backbreaker65]

I'm just waiting on the press impressions, on the shark demo, the castle demo, Thief ect... If they come away impressed and unbias then we know we have something to look forward to.

But that price

Think I'm gonna cop one to flip now that I think about it

[Maddmike]

yall crazy if yall think this gone jump.

 

[satam55]

Those nikkas are dumb as shyt. I would never spend $300 on a pair headphones to begin with. You can definitely get quality headphones for way under $100.
