It seems that Sony is attempting to develop social games for their PS4 VR headset, Morpheus. Nothing will separate you from other people in the real world more than a virtual reality headset, but Sony doesn't think that means we can't get more social virtual reality games.
"Look at our studio history—we've done a lot of social games," SCE London Studio Director Dave Ranyard told Digital Spy in an interview. "Having that social screen is really important to us. There's actually quite a lot you can do with that. We've been doing lots of companion apps as well—you can interact, you can see what they're seeing—you can imagine that with a haunted house, and you can totally see it—the payoff is brilliant."
Ranyard also pronounced that a stream demos that Sony is regulating to uncover off a device, Street Luge (watch Conan O’Brien play it here), and The Deep (which puts a actor in a shark explanation cage), are cold experiences, though it’s too shortly to contend either they’ll develop into full games.
“Morpheus is still a prototype, we don’t have a date on hardware. We’re really gratified with some of a things that we’ve done, so it would be poetic to get out there to an even bigger assembly than a people that only go to shows,” Ranyard said. PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida recently revealed Sony has completed 85 percent of the work necessary to release the consumer model of Project Morpheus.
