I got a one line email back tonight re your GIF:
If there is a new thread tomorrow that GIF better be in the OP.
Richard Marks is the head of all SCE R&D. Meaning everything that gets R'd & D'd is under his supervision. That means quite a bit more than eye toys. And Anton is the senior software engineer, which would probably mean that he's had a hand in whatever tech demo they may show.
Not saying that it automatically means anything but these are SCE's big wigs in the engineering section, not just advocators for PS MOVE.
It doesn't have to render Shadowfall level graphics to make VR effective.

No, it would all be down to how much each game needed resource wise to run in vr mode. Some could be 1080, more demanding ones 720. But it seems devs have been playing around with other ways of doing things, re killzone mp. so its really hard to do anything other then guess, unless your involved with It, or have knowledge of it being real, of course like some lucky insiders seem to be!
Yea it has hurdles but look how far we have come since the days of the c64, hell even ps3 launch to ps4 launch shows a significant leap.

Please describe in 3 words why it's exciting for you.

It is, please don't be yet another hype train derailment, how many dreams need to be shattered to satisfy the Demons?
16 hours to go, hope I'll wake up to some glorious news.
Please put mine in it too:

What excites me the most with a possible VR device is to see what Media Molecule is working on. A play-create-share title for VR would be such a perfect fit and a killer app for me. I just can't imagine MM developing a non-VR game if PSVR is a thing.
It makes perfect sense too, as MM has a history of experimenting with new Playstation hardware in different ways (Move for LBP2, Vita functions in Tearaway).

I'm not sure about you, but the Virtuix Omni looked pretty cool when they showed it off.
I want to see an old Socom or at least Socom Confrontation being played with the Omni.
I would die of laughter at a strafe battle.
To tell the truth this setup would work much better on a no respawn game like Socom over COD.
It was not livestreamed. It was filmed and either the whole lot or parts were released afterwards.
Of course this was in 2007 which was really before livestreaming was typical.
It would be kind of funny if Alex Evans and Mark Healey presented something again in this context though...
A perhaps optimistic read on the situation is that Sony PR has asked for this strict prohibition on filming but will be filming themselves. And then how much is released afterward will depend on whether there's any technical hiccups to be edited out.

Good post, fully agree. A PSVR MM game where we can create objects/worlds, import and export creations to and from other PS4s... that possibility ignites such excitement in me I can barely stand it. It is my dream game and I hope it's happening!

Well done, you really are mastering your craft.
No, that's half of the target resolution assuming 960x1080x2, and it's not accounting for stereo overhead, typically between 30 and 50%, and assuming 60fps, they may target higher.Funny enough The KZ Shadowfall MP seems to render 960x1080 in some way. Now this is VERY close to the sugested 1kx1k displays per eye! And I certainly would not complain about the graphic fidelity of KZ:SF MP in VR (now that is a lot of two letter abraviations
I know the framerate is not quite there but with a little optimization....
this isn't even my final form

Good point. Wonder if GG next game will be VR compatible? Imagine having a dog fight in space using VR (sorta like Rogue Squadron) I just hope Sony make VR as easy to implement as remote play. Would sure help shift a lot of units!
Don't buy PS4 VR ver.1 because QHD update twelve months later?
Thank the stars you're here. Someone inform Kotaku.
Yes you are correct. As edited I was confused. My original idea was that a similar rendering technique could be applied for the VR rendering. But of course then the graphics have to be a step down.

I'm sure those rats are already here

Hmm so the rats aren't leaving the ship (hypetrain), I guess that means VR is a go, yes?
15 hours...
Don't be silly, rats is obviously the name of the device! It's an acronym, Rasterizer-Audio-Tracking-System!Hmm so the rats aren't leaving the ship (hypetrain), I guess that means VR is a go, yes?

Kotaku, don't wait, run with it!

Is this today?
It's fourteen and a half hours away, if that's today for you or not, I don't know.
I'm not sure about you, but the Virtuix Omni looked pretty cool when they showed it off.
What is this, a moonwalk training device?

Cool. Should be interesting...

Is it on livestream on GDC site?
Another theory: It wont be VR, it will be a thing that you you put on your ears like a small headset with mini move balls attached and allows the camera to track head movement, giving the viewer the optical illusion that every screen is a possible 3d screen, like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw
combine this with the short throw projector and every wall could be a window into a 3d world.
edit:
no livestream, only liveblog by sites like ign, kotaku etc.

You mean like something similar to the Glyph
no just a move controller attached to your head in an attractive form factor. nothing in front of your eyes.

So Sony VR being shown off then a session with Yu Suzuki and Mark Cerny?
Shenmue 3 confirmed! Need dat exclusive software push
I'm not even a big fan of Shenmue, but I would definitely buy such a game. The biggest appeal of the games was visiting places and looking around you, observing NPCs etc. , to the point of having a whole chapter dedicated to walking in the woods with Shenhua.

I just dont get it.
Kinect? gimmick.
Gamepad? gimmick.
Move? Gimmick.
But VR is somehow going to be a game changer?
At best this going to be cute distraction thats supported by a handful of games. The mainstream simply is never going to strap a box to their face to game.
This whole VR hype is the strangest thing ever to me. Its one of those things everyone seems to be gushing over online but in the real world people are meh...
I only hope the money wasted on this at least ensures somewhat of a return. Id hate for first party development to suffer to support this.
