Sony revealed during its E3 2014 press conference that it would have a couple of new Project Morpheus demos on display at its booth, and one of them is called Street Luge. A relatively simple idea, the title sees you lying back on a reclined chair and steering a sled down a busy road. The action takes place from a first-person perspective, so you’re able to look down the length of your virtual avatar – and scout out for oncoming traffic.
Alright, so it’s the equivalent of a virtual reality endless runner, requires a pretty unusual seat setup, and will probably make your neck ache after a couple of runs, but we reckon that this is the most compelling demo for the distinctly unconventional device that we’ve seen thus far. We’re hopeful that the platform holder will put together a compilation of these technology tasters when the headset deploys sometime next year.

What a brilliant idea!
@get2sammyb Agreed, if they keep coming up with stuff like this, and have some good Move support, I think I'll have see about buying this thing.
Connect this to something like a battlefield game that allows you to turn your head to view your surroundings quickly and it would be an instant seller and make a fortune, and also put this in homes to give developers a base to build on as it would already have a user base from just the one game!
Hope they add Morpheus support for No Man's Sky and ABZU those too would make awesome VR games this looks fun
@Jonesie Agreed
Let me be a hero in fantasy setting charging where I can engage into battles small and large where I can swing a sword, block attacks and be surrounded by thousands of soldiers. Hear a sound to my right, swing weapon right and run up ramparts atop horseback. Then jump of a high ledge and land atop a Griffin then swoop into the air to engage in fire breathing dragon combat. Bring on demon souls VR first person, bring on zelda-clone, bring on crusades and let me see my foe face to face close up and personal. Let me swing across ravines and battle gigantic beasts. VR's defo got me excited! I hope morpheus utilises dualshock too so we can retain all the commands and accuracy, not just using move.
@bbq_boy I wanna play what you just said sounds awesome! not a souls fan but a Zelda-like game would be fantastic
A brilliant lazy ass game. Count me in.
@Jonesie The problem they are running into I hear is motion sickness. So they're trying to make games without sudden movements in the camera. So a B4 or COD type game probably won't be avail for a little bit, till they figure out how to combat that issue at least.
