I can certainly see that being the case. We'll see.

You can do electric wheelchair type games pretty well also, as long as you do the movement right. Mech warrior type with a cockpit could work also
A racing wheel on the other hand... pure awesome
What is striking is that, the TV view will not be confined to mirror mode, so PS4's would actually output two separate views, one for the TV and one (actually, two) for the HMD, over a single HDMI cable. I guess they'd need to utilize higher than HMD resolutions for this to happen, the breakout box would trim the second screen portion and send it to the TV, instead of getting a single view and re-construct it.

I guess I should find some discounted/cheap move controllers and tuck them away.

i'm aboard the VR train. they just need to make it financially feasible as a commercial product. the price barrier will ultimately decide if this is a success or a niche product like the move.
Saw a tweet about this one being a real gameplay winner.

This sucks so bad, I NEED more footage 
The Morpheus impressions sound overwhelmingly positive so far, perhaps it's that E3 glow.

Don't, they are not going to announce a new controller in an interview when they have not even showed the final design or the price of Morpheus.

I imagine the 3 v 3 would make that pretty easy no?
It seems to be the only VR title announced so far to tackle fast-paced FPS MP combat in such a way that's not making anyone sick.
Also: Technically capable 1st party studio making it with significant budget behind it (a rarity in VR development currently).
This is destined to become the poster child of the Project Morpheus launch.
What's kinda cool is that they are making it for all ages: It's robot destruction, it's super colorful, it has a sports theme etc.

Only if its actually compelling.
But I like the sound of 3 vs 3. I've always found that smaller team-based multiplayer modes breed the most intimate and memorable experiences.
Is Sony building in a mic with the headset?
Yes it's built in.
Wow! That's great to hear that they're making a VR 'wrapper' for the OS.
One of the most annoying things about PS Move on PS3 (versus Wii) was that the Move wasn't really used before one had booted up the game. What Sony is promising here then is a seamless VR experience from boot to shut-down.
Wait a second, Morpheus can display something different on the TV and on the headset? This is great news! Has anyone made a thread yet?

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
HOLY SHIT at The Kitchen.
Capcom you too cray.

This has been known since at least the Playstation Experience in December when Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes was shown. It definitely introduces a lot of interesting multiplayer possibilities. I'd like to see something like Affordable Space Adventures where one player is a spaceship pilot and another player has to manage thrust, heat levels and other things.
A little bit over an hour till it comes up it seems like.
I actually played Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes in a local VR meetup here in Chicago. Was a complete blast and the tension builds as the seconds counts down. It was awesome.

Seems to be the most accommodating regarding glasses actually.

It doesn't press itself against your face like the DK2 for example. You put it on over you head and then you can adjust how far the optical block is from your face.
Yep u can
All they have to do is make a universal VR movie player, then it's all good.

"Next up is the system software guys. They have to make sure the integration is seamless. We're not showing the OS side of [Morpheus]. But the team is working hard on that. That's going to come out later, before the launch."
Excellent. I was a little concerned about that. This means that not only will you not need to flip the visor up to be able to interact with the OS, being able to use the OS entirely in Morpheus means that you can have a stand-alone rig — with no TV at all — for LAN play, kiosks, etc.
Also, it sounds like the game they were playing here is called Monster Escape.
On Monday, at the press conference, you guys talked briefly about making Morpheus social. And there's been a lot of talk that the barrier to VR, even though we've overcome things technically, is making that a social experience because it's very isolating. So can you elaborate on that? How are you going to do that?
So from the get-go, what we pride ourselves on is [that] we're a hardware company and also a software company. So the Worldwide Studios teams are heavily involved in the system development itself. And I spend lots of time joining the meetings with the hardware guys and debating the technical issues and design issues. So one of the things our games teams suggested and our hardware guys agreed to implement is for PS4 game developers [to] be able to render two different screens at the same time: one for Morpheus and one for TV. So what you are going to try and see at this E3? Japan Studio has made a new demo called Monster Escape. So that's a five-player game; one versus four. One being the person wearing Morpheus. And if you're in Morpheus, you become the Monster. And the four people holding the DualShock and looking at the TV and playing the game like a regular game [are] against the monster. The only difference is that the Monster is played by you. So in your view, you look down and there are four small robots running around and trying to shoot and throw something at you. ... So that's the gameplay. So that's how we came up with the tool for game developers to create social experiences.
I need to find some impressions of this.

My guess would be no.
You can navigate the XMB with a wand. Hold the trigger to grab, then just swipe to navigate. Use the Move button to select stuff (IIRC; you might use X instead/additionally).Wow! That's great to hear that they're making a VR 'wrapper' for the OS.

Holy crap. That's pretty fucking huge. I had no idea Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes was doing that. That opens up a multitude of possibilities for the Social Screen.

Virtual reality Project Morpheus from Sony is just incredible. Video probably doesn't do it justice!

I'm so positive about the future here. Sony are gonna catch a lot of people out with this. I'm amazed Microsoft are not pursuing true VR on the Xbox...
Rigs looks awesome and as others have said I love the artstyle and the lightness of it. Even Headmaster looks like great fun. Impressions about Morpheus sound very good indeed and I'm surprised about talk of there being a really minimal screen door effect and it having such a good screen.
As for the OS, my dream would be that Morpheus has its own take on the PS4 OS and you can do everything via VR, playing games and apps in a virtual cinema environment. There's plenty of RAM left over for the OS and some processor time left (isn't there at least a core left for the OS?) plus remember the box sitting between the Morpheus and the PS4 has some kind of processing power to it which could help. Putting the HDMI feed on a virtual cinema screen should really not be all that intensive, mobile phones have working virtual cinema apps so then overhead isn't huge. If they pull that off I'll be so happy. House of Cards on my own virtual IMAX...

Virtual Cinemas is one of those subtle killer-app(s) of Virtual Reality.
My first 'holy shit... I'm Feeling It!" moment with the Oculus DK1 back in April 2013 was VR Cinema.
It's a total escape. Frankly I think the cinema screen quality is quite serviceable on the 1080p DK2 (think DVD).

Nice, don't want to spend money on Lasik just to experience VR
Mattering on how your vision is you may not have to wear glasses. I know I was able to use the rift without them without much of an issue.
