– Nicolas Doucet, Team AsobiĪs a gamer, I have great memories of playing Thumper on PS VR around the launch in 2016. This demo was meant to show how we can get a sense of vertigo in VR. – Masachika Kawata, CapcomĪs far as I can recall, my first experience of PS VR was actually with a prototype of Project Morpheus (the codename of PS VR in its early phase) where I found myself at the top of a very high diving board with an Olympic pool right below me. It really was astounding to see how much more immersive of an experience VR could truly be. Initially, I had only seen the prototype through a regular monitor and could only imagine how things would be in a VR environment, but I was not anticipating just how much the scare factor ramped up seeing things from within the headset. The first time I got to really experience PS VR was working on the prototype for KITCHEN, which was arguably the prologue setting things up for what later would become Resident Evil 7 biohazard. VR was technology I was always interested in, so I was very excited hearing that PlayStation was creating a VR headset for a household setting. Exhilarating! – Chandana Ekanayake, Outerloop Games

It was the most high quality content I had experienced in VR at the time and I found myself getting on the floor of the demo area at GDC.

The second scene you were rifling through a desk looking for items with full hand interaction using Move Controllers and then getting into a fire fight while taking cover behind the desk.

The first scene had you being interrogated by a brutish looking fellow and he would respond to your head movements and where you were looking. The London Heist demo completely sold me on the hardware and its potential. I wasn’t still sure about what PS VR could do at that time and they encouraged me to check out the demos at that year’s GDC in March 2015.
