| binary solo said: Best hing about the interview was his frankness about 4K gaming support. He says something like developers struggle to reach 1080p 60fps and that's the PS4 gold standard. So 4 K is off the table and PS4 was never designed with 4K gaming output. Good to see Morpheus confirmed at 120Hz. But surely that means max 720p. If morpheus is to success for gaming then games will need to have a res downgrade feature. |
Morpheus is 960x1080*2 (one for each eye) which is 1920x1080 in total. Plenty of PS4 games already output at 1080p with a solid 60fps. Morpheus uses a cheap technique to create a 120fps retroprojected output from 60fps.
Upscaling in VR from 720p would be worse than less details at 1080p. People have already being positively impressed of what the PS4 hardware can do with Morpheus at 1080p 120fps using the 60fps->120fps retroprojection trick.
That's Richard Leadbetter comments on Morpheus:
the quality of the immersion is absolutely remarkable. This is VR that not only works but leaves a lasting impression.
The demo is short and sweet but does enough to demonstrate that PlayStation 4 has the power to create a visually detailed experience while maintaining a coherent stereoscopic image at a sufficiently high frame-rate.
