yeah exactly how i feel. it makes it seem like "dont worry, there wont be any VR there!!". thats not a good thing if you ask me. AR on the other hand is proven to be sucky for gaming, so its better off not being there.

With everyone interested in what Morpheus has to offer, you would think that MS would want a part of that in some shape or form. They've even hinted at having VR themselves at some point in the future. This tells me that they're not that interested in VR and not only that but they want to send a message out that VR isn't that interesting to the 'gamer'. 'We absolutely promise we won't waste your time with VR' is basically what he's suggesting there. Now I'm confident that Sony are going to show a lot of stuff on Morpheus at E3, and clearly Phil is too.

well in all fairness he did mention AR too, but yeah i agree with what you said. but reality is if they dont show VR is a downside, it means they are very far away from ever releasing it (IF they even are). Sony already said they will be showing off VR games at E3. VR is that next huge step in gaming, at least it has the potential to be, insinuating that VR might be a bad thing to show at E3 is hilarious. 


I'd take AR like hololens in gaming over VR any day of the week... Because AR has way more depth potential than VR has.... VR is old tech it's pretty much 2 screens taped to your eyes with a Kinect tracker just for your head... Nothing really new and revolutionizing they just move your FPS thumb stick movement to your head... Big deal.....

AR on the other hand can do way more especially coupled with other tech like 3D and full body motion sensing...

anyway tried VR tech in gaming over a decade ago and yes it was impressive then... Not really moved by it much today...
