Sony is allegedly working on a PlayStation 4 VR headset to rival the Oculus Rift.
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. It's now expected to surface officially sometime next year.
Details about the device are thin on the ground, but it's apparently been demonstrated internally with DriveClub. When used in conjunction with the racer from Evolution Studios, players can look around the cockpit of the car they're in to check out the high level of detail up-close.
We don't talk about that.
Eurogamer points out that Evolution's studio is also where Sony's World Wide Studios Stereoscopic 3D team hangs is hat, so it makes sense that DriveClub has been tested with the device.
While 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."
Sony has a long history with 3D, and 3D gaming on PlayStation 3 was a big focus for the company a few years ago. It currently makes its own 3D viewing headsets, one of which was shown at last year's Tokyo Game Show.
What do you reckon? Would you be interested to see a PlayStation 4-focused VR headset made by Sony, and what impact do you think this will have on the Oculus Rift? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
