PlayStation VR: developing games with “full-on action is pretty tough”

PlayStation VR isn’t likely to recreate the games you’re used to playing on your PS4 – at least not in its early days – according to the development team at Sony’s pioneering London studio.

Speaking exclusively with VG247, Dave Ranyard, studio director, said that it’s questionable whether 12 hour intense action experiences are right for virtual reality.

“It is a very immersive experience so whether you need 12 hours and some multiplayer or you can just tell a great story in two hours – we’ll have to see how the market reacts,” he said.

“Right now we’re working on game chapters. To be honest we don’t really know and we need to get it out there and see how people use it. We’re finding that full-on action is pretty tough.”
