That's what I meant by "good IQ."
The way people bitch about how games look on the PS4 and XB1 already and you think they'll be happy with a simpler looking game?
Having the most and best 1st party games = having no 1st party games now? I must be missing the joke.B-but they told me Sony has no 1st party games!
Well. There is a Kickstarter for that RIGHT NOW.Wipeout vr
btw. just found out that Dualshockers wrote an article about that new studio.
Since that's a UK website I'd imagine this is Evolution/Runcorn as that area is often referred to as the North West.
North West Studio is still in its early stages, and Sony Computer Entertainment declined to offer much detail when asked for comment by Eurogamer.
"We are still in the early planning phase with this studio, and are currently focused on hiring the right team," a spokesperson said.
"We look forward to sharing more news and formal announcements in the near future."
We've heard from two people familiar with Sony's plan who both said the new studio is being set up in Manchester - and former Evolution staff are involved.
In March Runcorn-based Evolution suffered a number of layoffs as Sony restructured the studio to focus on updating its PlayStation 4-exclusive racing game as a service, as well as the launch of the long-delayed PS Plus Edition.
At the time Sony said it would look to relocate team members throughout the Worldwide Studios network.
One of our sources said before Evo suffered the restructure it had a number of virtual reality prototypes in development for Morpheus, and the new North West Studio may take them further.
Evo had developed a version of DriveClub that worked with Morpheus, but that failed to progress, with Yoshida telling press it was "kind of difficult and sickening".
Glad they've kept some of the Evolution staff on board. I wonder how many people currently comprise this studio.
DC looks stunning and plays great, but Wipeout needs 60 FPS

I'd take a motorstorm RC VR please, and a motorstorm Pacific VRift

.Always good to see new UK studios pop up
The dev team, dubbed North West Studio, will be focused solely on Project Morpheus, and falls under the leadership of Sony Computer Entertainment's Worldwide Studios, which is headed up by president Shuhei Yoshida.
"We are still in the early planning phase with this studio, and are currently focused on hiring the right team," a Sony rep told Eurogamer. "We look forward to sharing more news and formal announcements in the near future."
Sony Confirms New UK Studio Working on "High Quality Morpheus Games"
North West Studio to incorporate staff from Driveclub dev Evolution.
Sony has established a new UK studio to focus on development for its upcoming PlayStation 4 virtual reality headset Project Morpheus, the corporation has confirmed to GameSpot.
A number of job postings for what Sony is calling its North West Studio appeared on the Sony Computer Entertainment careers page on Tuesday. The corporation has since explained to GameSpot that the team will include staff from Motorstorm and Driveclub developer Evolution Studios, who will work on "high quality experiences" for the VR headset.
"We are dedicated to producing high quality experiences for Project Morpheus, and the creation of this studio allows us to build a small but highly experienced team who can utilise their skills to showcase this exciting new immersive technology," said a Sony spokesperson.
"We always look to relocate staff throughout the studios, and this is no exception. The new team will be made up of a combination of Evolution staff members and new talent, with a focus on hiring the most highly experienced team possible."
Evolution Studios was previously working on a prototype version of Driveclub for Project Morpheus, which would put players in cockpit view. According to Shuhei Yoshida, PlayStation's president of worldwide studios, the project was halted because it was "kind of difficult and sickening."
In March, Evolution Studios suffered layoffs, amidst assurances from Sony that the studio would provide ongoing support for Driveclub.

Well Driveclub is a 30fps game.One would have thought the experience of making driving games not feel sickening would be highly sought after experience in the upcoming VR boom. Since when does Sony give up because 'it's too hard'?
On the other hand, maybe PD figured it out and shared the code with Evolution.
I really want a high quality cockpit racing experience in VR.
