Dat Morpheus VR too. Intriguing.

ur sig is mesmerising

Wasn't it compatible with mobile operating systems first? Not a big deal, just trivia for fun.

And I have little to no faith in Sony's VR headset. The PS4 doesn't have the horsepower to do anything with it, and Sony's recent peripheral track record is... bad.

Lets see some kick ass games with it now.

Yeah its not going to catch up with Unity in terms of support..Even my school is dropping UDK .I still see they are ignoring the Wii U while giving support to mobile.

In talking to one of the industry leading developers, I heard the PS4's architecture couldn't optimize the UR4 Engine, but the X1 should have no issues since Microsoft took the high road. The Cell 1 held the PS3 back for years,, and it looks like Sony made the same mistakes again. They should have tweaked the issues with the Cell and created the powerful Cell 2.

how is this relevant news? i'd be shocked if it didnt support ps4 and the bone.. Now that would be newsworthy.

IT means development with the engine can begin

@musicalmac: According to the previews it looked amazing. Not sure how it doesn't have the horsepower when 95% of its games are in 1080p

@musicalmac: The PS4 doesn't have to horsepower to run VR at decent resolutions.

Hell, some graphical intense games on it that are coming out are sub HD.

I know it. Which is why I have such little faith in it.
