Project Morpheus PS4 PlayStation 4 E3 2015

Sony will be devoting a huge portion of its E3 2015 booth to PlayStation 4 virtual reality headset Project Morpheus, claims specialist site VRFocus. The website reckons that "sources close" to the company have informed it that it will be giving the peripheral a "big push" at the Los Angeles convention next week, which will result in approximately half of its floor space being assigned to the device.

This isn't overly surprising, of course: the active nature of the accessory means that each game kiosk will need to be bigger in size, similarly to the way that PlayStation Move titles used to take up more space, too. Interestingly, the site claims that the platform holder will be spotlighting "first-party and exclusive titles only", meaning that anything in production for competing units will be given the push.

Worryingly, though, the publication also hints that the peripheral will feature heavily during the manufacturer's press conference, which sounds like a recipe for disaster as far as we're concerned; playing a game in virtual reality is fine and dandy, but we're not convinced that it has the same effect when you're watching someone else. Alas, with a 2016 release date touted, we suppose that a big showing was always inevitable.
