Sony is rumored to be making a VR, Virtual Reality, headset of their own for the PlayStation 4. The headset will be compatible with games like "DriveClub" and is to rival the growing popularity with the Oculus Rift headset. Eurogamer is reporting that the new VR headset will make its debut next year although Sony wanted to show off the headset at this year's Gamescom.
According to Eurogamer, multiple anonymous sources have claimed Sony was planning to reveal the device at Gamescom last week before deciding to pull it at the 11th hour. The web site also reports that the device has been demonstrated internally, allowing players to look around the cockpit of their car in "DriveClub," which is developed by Evolution Studios.
Another developer who wanted to remain anonymous said the headset will resemble the 3D headset Sony first revealed in January 2011. The head-mounted display is said to be available separately in order to keep the baseline PS4 price as low as possible.
Sony is resolutely refusing to say anything concrete, when Shuhei Yoshida was asked by the site at Gamescom whether the company was investigating a VR headset for use with the PlayStation 4, he replied, "We don't talk about that."
Perhaps fans will get their first glimpse at the virtual reality headset at the Tokyo Game show. Sony is reportedly intended to show over 50 PlayStation titles and that includes more than 10 PS4 games such as "Knack" and Capcoms's "Deep Down."
It will be interesting to see if this VR headset idea comes to life. Do you think Sony is going to release a VR headset to accompany certain PS4 games?
