Sony’s Project Morpheus in pictures and in action

Add as a preferred source on Google

Sony revealed its Oculus Rift competitor, the PlayStation 4-exclusive VR headset, Project Morpheus (a codename), at the 2014 Game Developer’s Conference, and it’s a nifty piece of tech. It works similarly to Oculus VR’s hardware, though it’s got the advantage of supporting the motion-sensing Move controllers that Sony released midway through the PlayStation 3’s life. It also makes you look like a member of Daft Punk when you wear it, which inherently makes it cool.

We’ve got no sense of when the headset will be released or how much it will cost, but it appears to be far along in its development. It’s a safe bet that you won’t be able to get one by the time holiday 2014 rolls around (you never know, of course), but sometime in 2015 seems like a distinct possibility.

Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.

TabStationToo adapts PCSX2 for browser play, with the developers reporting near-full-speed performance in some games

Two friends have used Claude to help bring the open-source PS2 emulator PCSX2 to a browser. Their project, TabStationToo, has been tested with games including GTA San Andreas and Final Fantasy XII.

The developers say Claude did most of the programming while they directed the work and tested the results. It’s still experimental, but games run locally without installing a desktop emulator.
