Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony: "Excited to give lots of Morpheus units to indie PS4 devs"

Key points...

  • "It's very hard for big companies to approve something that no one knows if there's a market for it,"
  • "But the indie guys are like, 'I like it, I'll do it.' And there are many indie games being created in the marketplace because of that."
  • "The indie teams typically want to create something not directly competitive with big companies because they know they don't have the resource to do it, so they try to come up with a new angle or approach, a new experience so that their game can stand out,"
  • "And that approach is perfect for making VR, because that's what we need. We don't want people to think, 'How can I port this game to VR?' We want people to think, 'What unique thing can we do with this tech?' So I'm very, very excited to give lots of units to indie PS4 developers."

it'll be interesting to see what indie devs can do with morpheus. I really want to see what media molecule can do as well.

I wonder how much Sony will push first party support. Totally need Uncharted VR



That's great, I have big hopes in VR and even if it will be only used for some racing games and Indie games I would be already happy and I think at least GT will absolutely use it. 

Oculus already showed how Indie developers love to work with stuff like that even without a real market and now they have Oculus bought by Facebook and Morpheus to have a bigger potential market for their games.



Are they giving it away for free?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Your statement implies Media Molecule is an indie developer.

Let me be clear, Media Molecule is NOT an indie developer.

that would be amazing, I hope they give it a decent push, but keep it (morpheus) at a resonable price.

i'm sorry, but you inferred the wrong thing. I am well aware that Media Molecule is not an indie dev.
