Yep, to be honest, I never really gave the non gaming functions of VR a thought until now. Virtual travel sounds amazing.
Haha, hopefully it's affordable when it launches because I could spend hours just observing dinosaurs in VR.

1. Don't know yet but Hello Games has Morpheus/PSVR devkits
2. Yes
GT Sports is confirmed to support VR in some form. No Man's Sky hasn't been confirmed IIRC but it is heavily rumored to.

A modern classic. I already laughed before the video even started. Pure joy of anticipation.

They're still letting David Cage develop games with AAA budgets. Hard to get crazier than that.

Well VR gaming is not going to take off mostly for the next two years because of lack of compelling game content especially AAA to attract hardcore gamers, so non-gaming functions are going to play big roles mostly in the success.
Hmm, depends on what you're interested in, I guess. For me, Sony has been doing a great job investing in games for PSVR before it even launches. Robinson, ARK Survival Evolved, Summer Lesson (LOL!), GT Sport and RIGS might make me wanna jump on board sooner than later.
I dont know I think Dreams is the craziest thing they have ever greenlit. Nearly every Dreams thread has a bunch of people saying its going to be a mega bomb.
Still amazed that they started the conference off by showing footage of The Price is Right instead of a video game.
If I said back in 2012 that Microsoft would reveal the next Xbox by first showing it alongside a morning TV game show, how many people would believe me (lol)?

Sony was always passionate about gaming and they want to push the boundaries of the gaming with new experience by taking big risks compared to other publishers. They might have lost money in many projects like Shu said only 4 out 10 games are success, but they create/have diversity in content and try to reach wide audience instead of popular demographic which is why PlayStation successful worldwide.

They haven't said yet that you won't be able to play your own VR movies. If a smart phone with Google cardboard can do it I don't see why PSVR won't.
Pretty much half of this thread has been discussing how shitty people are at predicting things. We'll see how it goes.
David Cage's nonsense, however, is a known quantity.

You can tell how proud they were of that price is right moment.
"Fuck yeah guys! Price is right on your next gen system. Cool, right?! "

Still the announced game library not enough to justify $300+ headset for many gamers especially for casuals and it needs to do more like non-gaming functions by filling the gaps and providing more uses with it in order to find the mainstream success.

before I read the last sentence, that's who I thought of. haha
I think it's pretty much a no-brainer that they'll incorporate VR video of some kind. They were already demonstrating that tightrope sequence from "The Walk," and we have outlets like the New York Times announcing VR content, and even the BBC sent David Attenborough out into the jungles with a VR camera crew, so that kind of video content is there. Sony would be nuts not to take advantage of that.
I'm also expecting that they'll either stream VR content for live events like E3, or they'll sell VR content for concerts and sporting events with the whole "best seat in the house" mantra that VR has taken up.
I don't know how many units these kinds of initiatives will move, but it will help at kiosks with and early adopters/evangelists to sell the VR concept.
Personally I don't think it will bomb hard. And even if I did I would not want Sony/MM to change it to make it more approachable like some were suggesting.
What a doofus lol.
Well mm are the artsy kids in Sony's stable. They might hit gold or they might fuck up royally, but if the other teams are making cash they'll keep letting mm do their thing just to say "hey look at the risks we take".

Hey whatever happened to that Live Action Halo show?

Oh, my statement wasn't a criticism of that approach. I'm fully onboard with anybody willing to put time and money behind art with a personal feel. Even if I'm not always a fan of the results, the effort is appreciated.

This is why i love the PlayStation brand. They make games for everyone, even crazy ideas that would never get approved by other companies. I like creativity, diversity, art... Sony and PlayStation is exactly that.

A building fell on John Halo while they were filming and he couldn't get up in time so the filmed Quantum Break with David Hasselhoff instead.

Yeah Dreams is perfect as-is. Don't wash it down for the LCD crowd Media Molecule; there are more people out there for this type of game as it is now than even you may realize.

I've heard about him here, but that was the first time I actually listened to one of his rants.
There was an equally hilarious video in the links...

VR is a risk, a huge risk. But it is the a risk that HAS to be taken.
VR can only succeed if they push it.
This is basically what VR has to do:
"They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun, 'VR'. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders."

I wouldn't have believed you, but if you told me that they started their E3 conference by showing a morning TV game show, then told me that two years later Sony would be outselling them globally 2:1 I would definitely believe you.
