What state would that be? I tried the last Rift dev kit and I'll be trying out the new Galaxy Gear VR soon.

Why did people have to bring Nintendo into this thread?

We already know the hardware is underpowered so you won't get awesome level gfx. We also know most devs aren't putting too much effort into their games to optimise them because lets face it for 80% extra effort needed to improve the visuals you will get maybe 10% more sales on the Wii U.

Reading around all the console wars BS there have been some good points made about the tech. I think yes the games won't be up to PS4 gfx standards later in the gen but it doesn't matter too much as long as they fun. As I mentioned in the other thread I hope the bulkiness of the device doesn't make it a nuisance to wear for long periods.

Is Peter Molyneux working at Sony now or something?

Games aren't neccesarily going to run at 1080p/120fps (most demos were at 60fps up sampled), nor are we going to only see traditional games being forced to be Morpheus compatible.

I think this guys is speaking on behalf of some developers (the conservative ones) naturally but definitely not all. I imagine a lot of original content is in works which is designed for purpose at 1/20th the budget of traditional retail games. I imagine lots of cheaply priced apps being released for morpheus, and if development becomes accessible to the indie scene I they could easily deliver some of the most innovative and talked about content. Tradiotional games with Morpheus compatibility will not be the norm, nor the key selling point although they will be a bonus. Is GTA6 going to be Morpheus compatible? Probably not but GT6/Driveclub 2 will. Overall peripherals are often dependent of made for purpose titles to sell their appeal (wii sports, dance central etc)

Also things can be successful and niche at the same time, It doesn't need to sell 30m copies for it to conjure a successful development environment for devs and make sony profit at the same time. people saying $200 (if sony manage that price) is too much either haven't touched VR or underestimate the expendable income of the average tech consumer. When people spent $250 on the wii, we must know by now that plenty were literally just buying a device for wii sports/wii fit and mario kart. If the gimmick is strong enough it will sell at $200.

Gun stringer and Kinect sports rivals definitely didn't feel like glorified tech demos. 

Most of the Oculus stuff consists of small experiences or tiny games.

In addition, looking "into" the screen and watching movies on the second Oculus devkit is not a great experience beyond the initial wow factor of "sitting" in a theater and watching a movie, as the resolution is too low.

Playing retro games on a virtual TV in a virtual room works quite well because those games are low resolution to begin with.

--------------------

On a separate note, the biggest reason the Wii and Kinect were so popular were the family audience. People would get together and play. That will not be a factor with Morpheus in the same way as it is a solitary experience and less fun to watch someone else play.

Last Rift kit as well. I don't even know about Galaxy Gear...

Lol, she said while ignoring the features... :)

For non-vr games, can you just use the Morpheus as a high quality head mounted display? If so then I wouldn't worry about it being thrown in the cupboard like Kinect/Move.
